Congress is in an incestuous feedback loop, feeding on taxpayer money whenever and wherever they can get their hands on it. The longer they are up there, the better they are at working the system to their benefit. They bribe their constituents back home with ill-gotten gains so they can stay in office until they get sick or die.

Death penalty repeal in Maryland this year has passed the Senate! This means the bill has unprecedented momentum, but the House vote is still expected to be very close. It is likely to happen THIS WEEK, so please take action right now and call on your state Delegates to vote for repeal.

Equal rights for all citizens of the United State.

This is a petition against how apple charges customers tax after the checkout of iTunes and the app store. When you purchase digital product and check out you have to enter a password then a confirmation for the price pops up. However this is not the actual price you are billed. I and millions of others are letting apple charge you tax after your transaction is complete.

Federal unions cannot bargain pay, pensions and healthcare benefits except for postal and ATC unions. This allows unilateral cuts by Uncle Sam - unlike state and local workers such as 2+ yrs of pay freezes.

The gun issue may last a long time. Security Turnstiles would be a great deterant for thows who would inter a school or government building with guns or knives. What if a teacher has flipped out. And deside to harm the children in a school.

As an adoptee, who was able to locate only my birth mother's family, due to not having my original birth certificate, I now KNOW what true value there is in knowing the details behind my adoption. As many adoptees secretly feel, having always felt there must have been something "wrong" with me, somehow, or no woman would have given me up for adoption, the missing information had far more effect on my self esteem than I had ever realized. I have since researched the many ramifications of what this missing information and the experience of being separated from birth mothers does to babies. ("The Primal Wound" by Nancy Verrier especially), I want to stand up for ALL adoptees and get the WRONG antiquated laws changed and open all adoptions, for the highest good of ALL!

Help draft Barney Frank, former Congressman, to fill the open Massachusettes Senate seat in the interim. Mr. Frank has been a champion of Medicade, Medicare and numerous other social programs that have been under constant attack from the right for years. He has vowed that if appointed, he will dedicate himself to protecting social programs and has the experience that is necessary at a time when Congress will take up critically important economic issues facing the country. If the Republicans get their way during the next upcoming budget negotiations less than two months from now all Americans lose out whether young or old. Cuts to these social programs would not only be devastating for seniors but would affect us all as drug companies would inevitably raise their prices. Currently, in addition to my "premium" health "entitlement" rather than "right" I pay close to 5,000 dollars in co-pays and other fees a year. A strong leader, Barney Frank, is dedicated to defending basic health rights for all. Join me in nominating Barney Frank to fill the Massachusettes open seat in the Senate.

I have lost lot of my previous jobs to outsourcing. And seems like my current job is also going to be effect because of this.

We, the people of the state of Wisconsin wish to hold Rep. Paul Ryan responsible for his unconscionable vote against Superstorm Sandy disaster relief and flood insurance even though he wanted Gov. Doyle to seek federal disaster relief funds for the flooding in 2008. He was elected to represent the people of Wisconsin, he does not represent me.
