  • Don't Privatize Pennsylvania Wine and Spirits Shops
    Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett is once again selling out our children and eliminating much-needed funding for our schools, and risking 5,000 good-paying jobs here in Pennsylvania. He's already cut billions from education, and now, if he privatizes the Pennsylvania Wine and Spirits Shops, the $500 million generated annually would disappear. These funds help pay for good quality schools and other necessary programs across the Commonwealth. Tell him not to sell out our children and to NOT dismantle the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board and save 5,000 jobs.

  • Capping the Payday Lending Rate in Kentucky
    Presently, Payday Lenders are permitted to charge up to 400% interest and fees for short term (payday) loans. The Federal government caps payday lending rates at 36% near military bases and lenders continue to profit from the business. In the Kentucky House of Representatives, the Chair of the Banking and Insurance committee, Jeff Greer, Brandenburg, refuses to bring the issue up for vote in committee. Please lend your support to advancing common sense legislation affecting those in the margins of our society.

  • INCREASED WAGES FOR CERTIFIED NURSING ASSISTANTS
    In the state of TN, Certified Nursing Assistants are very underpaid! We have the hardest job in the nursing field. We are more hands on than any LPN or RN. We deal with the mess. When the patient is nonresponsive 9 times out of 10 we are the ones who find them. Patient to CNA ratio is 1 to 15 patients or more. That is why it is poor patient care in nursing home facilities

  • Limit Medical Benefits of Elected Officials to those available to ordinary Citizens
    This petition is to limit the government provided medical benefits to the approximately the same level as the citizens the elected officials govern. I am sick of paying thousands of dollars per month as an individual for me and my family while elected officials who are supposed to be representing me, get and give compensation to large corporations that turn around and charge me MORE money for medical coverage, that the corporations more often not simply deny anyway.

  • Emmision controls
    Dear Governor Hickenlooper: I was driving back home from the doctor’s office and ahead coming toward me was a cloud of smoke. It must be a car on fire, I thought. I wasn’t; it was a small truck with a billowing cloud of emission engulfing all the surrounding vehicles and heading in my direction. Commercial vehicles are exempt from emissions control; ostensibly our state does not want to hurt business. Breathing dirty air is not hurting business, businesses can and do thrive when work is to be done. This means more businesses and more workers. Our choice is whether we spend money on health care, treating respiratory problems (I am sure there are many other health problems caused by breathing in foul exhausts) or whether we choose to spend money on emission testing and pollution controls. How can we even think we are creating a healthy business climate when we are creating a sickly citizenry, since businesses exist for all of its citizens how does this benefit business? We all breathe in the same air. Isn’t it easier and less costly to transplant vehicle parts than it is to transplant lungs, hearts, and minds? It is less costly for all involved to control all emissions.
