  • Illinois Tollway: Stop Blindsiding Drivers with Tollway Fines
    Drivers failing to pay missed tolls within the seven day grace period can lead to high tollway fines. $5 in missed tolls can potentially create $500 in tollway fines over the course of a year. Failing to pay these fines can lead to a suspended license without notification to the driver. Please provide drivers with the ability to search and pay for outstanding fines using their license plate number to avoid their license from being suspended.

  • Term Limits: The Time Has Come!!!
    Public Service within our Democratic Process was never intended to become a lifetime career beholden to the fat cats who keep returning them to office. Never before in American History has the need for Term Limit legislation been more obvious. Let Grassroots America take back Democracy.

  • Save Medicare soo easily!
    Why are contributions limited to ONLY the first $110,000. of earnings? All my life (61 years of working) (and since the inception of Medicare of course) 100 percent of my earnings were subject to Medicare contributions. My school teacher daughter's TOTAL earnings are subject to Medicare contributions! Why doesn't anyone exposé this very large tax loophole limited to the rich?

  • Congressman Garrett, stand with NJ: Don't block Sandy relief!
    If you can believe it, one Congressman from New Jersey has said he may vote against the bulk of federal aid to rebuild his own state next week. Scott Garrett said he may vote against the rest of the New Jersey delegation and try to block the majority of federal aid for disaster victims citing 'wasteful spending.' Rebuilding roads and bridges. Helping families get back in their homes to start putting their lives back together. That's hardly waste. If Garrett were alone, that would be bad enough. But he’s joined by a Tea Party caucus that would rather see families suffer than admit that we actually have obligations to each other. So every vote will count. The House will vote on the Sandy relief package on Tuesday, January 15. Sign our emergency petition to Rep. Garrett not to block relief for Hurricane Sandy victims.

  • Ex-offenders and Exemptions To Work
    This petition is about people who are ex-offenders whom have served their time in jail or prisons.They are leading a productive life. Who has changed their lives. We are talking about ex-offenders who are nurses, nurses assistance,. teachers, home health aides, students,etc.The state legislature continues to change the rules.In order for these ex-offenders to work they must apply for an exemption.It is hard to get this exemption because the state legislature what them to provide documents from 20-30 years ago.There has to be a cut off point to trying to locate the documents needed.There should be a 10 year cut off for documents. People should be concerned about this because if you apply for and exemption and can not get the documents needed then you will not be able to work. I personally have been affected by issue, I cannot work because of something I did 38 years ago, and I can not get the documents I need to get this exemption. This law has to change and be stopped. If not there will be a lot of you out of work. Lets make a change.

  • Make Mega-Companies Pay Taxes!
    About 30 of the top Fortune 500 companies not only pay NO taxes, but they receive government subsidies. This includes companies like AT&T, Verizon, GE, etc. Others pay taxes, but tiny percentages, like Fed Ex, which pays a .09% rate. Their earnings are so astronomical that even if they paid a low rate, we would not have a deficit for long. Middle class people are carrying the tax burden for not only the poor, but often for the rich as well, and this is not right!

  • Hospital clinics: The next target
    Republicans are talking of sending clinical patients to doctors' offices. This makes no sense in that if an office visit was affordable the clients would not be going to the clinic in the first place.
