• How YOUR Tax Dollars are Being Used to Victimize a Struggling Single Parent
    This story is very REAL. It is based on FACTS. The story is about how YOUR tax dollars are being used to victimize and harass a single struggling parent. This petition was started because repeated requests to HUD to relocate the family have been ignored coupled with the landlord's refusal to stop victimizing the family.

  • Lest They Be Forgotten
    The goal is to petition appropriate executives at PBS NewsHour and CNN to provide a frequent, powerful and dignified reminder of the large numbers of children and teens killed by firearms each week. The procedure is to follow closely that which the PBS NewsHour uses to honor military personnel killed in Afghanistan. Whereas I have not lost a relative, all Americans are endangered by the ready availability of firearms in the USA.

  • Limit the size of the US Tax Code
    The United States Tax Code has increased to the point where no citizen, accountant or lawyer knows what is in the document(s). It currently stands at tens of thousands of pages and grows every year. People are powerless to try and understand the system and yet are responsible for being in compliance. Through lobbying, the system has also grown to benefit specific industries and companies without any way of policing the practice due to the excessive length of the code.

  • Tell McCrory: Expand Medicaid in NC
    Gov. McCrory, the power to fundamentally change the health care system in our state is in your hands. By expanding Medicaid, low-income North Carolinians will have access to health coverage, and there is potential to undo the profound health disparities in our state. As it stands, North Carolinians who are uninsured are likelier to develop serious health complications or die younger from diseases that are all too often preventable. By gaining health insurance through Medicaid, we would add health coverage for more than half-a-million North Carolinians within five years who otherwise would remain under insured. We urge Gov. McCrory to implement the Medicaid Expansion for low-income individuals under the Affordable Care Act so that all of our state can remain healthy and strong.

  • Stand Up to the NRA & Guns Over People Party
    Telling the Guns Over People Party to end its hypocrisy and urging the President to move forward with responsible gun reforms. The hypocrisy of the GOP social conservatives claim to be pro-life on abortion issues - but don't care how many lives are destroyed by gun violence or care about providing nutrition (feeding children), housing them, providing them clothes, education after they are born. They are pro birth actually and anti life when it comes to gun violence. The NRA no longer represents responsible gun owners but the gun makers. Tell the NRA to support reasonable reforms in background check system etc.
