End Congressional/Senatorial EntitlementsWe need to end the entitlements that our congress and senate voted for themselves to have. There is no reason for a retirement plan that costs the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars per member. They can be put back into the same program that was designed for the regular citizen, i.e., Social Security. Also end the entitlements of their free insurance programs( tax payer paid). and the tax payer funded car rental program that they also abuse. If we the people are not entitled to what we have paid for for many years of our lives, should they also be entitled to programs that they DID NOT pay funds into? I believe NOT!4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by James Keuneke

President Obama: Remember Your Start in LifeAfter becoming disabled at 17, I came to depend on the 'necessary for my survival' money paid me by Social Security. Due to my mother also having a disability, the funds from Social Security helped my father's paycheck cover our bills and keep food on our table. Social Security needs to be kept alive to help the disabled and elderly citizens who depend upon it.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jen Ayers

Suspend from Toyota USA from from the NFLWe are asking that John Elway (Franchisee) and Toyota be banned from the NFL for their company’s exploitation of women who bring their cars to Toyota dealerships for service repairs. John Elway’s Crown Toyota service representative told my 20 year old daughter that our 2005 Toyota Corolla would blow up on her as she drove home if she did not agree to purchase the “suggested costly services” now. Toyota's top priority should be on building safe cars and not exploiting women customers.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Thomas Manning

Absolve the Medical Debt of the Late Mrs. Annie R. WilsonMrs. Annie R. Wilson was an impoverished domestic worker who did not have health insurance. In November, 2004, she suffered a massive heart attack. While recovering at the Medical University of South Carolina, she fell from her bed in the intensive care unit. The fall resulted in her lapsing into a coma from which she never recovered. She passed away on December 29, 2004. Now, her creditors want to sell her small estate to pay off medical debt. However, her estate was worth only a tiny fraction of the medical debt that she owed. Her family believes that her estate should not be sold to pay the debt because she fell from her bed in the ICU. Had she not fallen from her bed, she may still be alive today.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by JusticeforAnnie

Starbucks CEO: leave the coalition to cut Medicare, Medicaid and Social SecurityStarbucks’ coffee is a favorite treat for so many American workers and their families. That’s why it’s even more appalling that Starbucks’ CEO is trying, with over 100 CEOs, hedge fund managers, and bank presidents, to cut the vital services our families rely on so that they can get bigger corporate tax breaks.7,387 of 8,000 SignaturesCreated by Natasha Chart, Progressive Congress

Marijuana DecriminalizationIn the state of Indiana it is a Class A misdomeanor to possess marijuana in quantities less than approx. 1 oz. This offense carries a maximum penalty of up to 1 year in jail, 2 years probation, and a $1000 fine. However domestic battery in which there is bodily injury sustained by the victim the maximum sentence is the same. This means that possession of 1 gram of marijuana is equal in the eyes of the law to physically battering your spouse or child. Decriminalization would allow for the recreational use of Marijuana to be recorded and tracked without causing extreme ramifications to the user. In this way Marijuana is still illegal but not a criminal offense and would be placed in the category of infractions which also contain such offenses as running a stop sign, speeding, and reckless driving. This would make those people who are not capable of handling the substance to be held accountable. It is not a question of right and wrong but a question of cruel and unusual punishment.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Christopher Glenn

Make Gun Liability Insurance MandatoryGun violence is a public health and safety issue that is largely unregulated. According to an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association, US taxpayers paid over $1 billion in a single year for gun-related injuries (http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=191001). Liability insurance on guns will hold gun owners accountable for the proper use of their guns, while protecting the public and lowering health care-related costs for everyone. It will encourage gun sellers to sell only to responsible people, thereby reducing their own risk. Courts will see it is in their "compelling interest" (and, therefore, constitutional) to make it mandatory. There are many legal precedents for liability insurance. Fully privatized underwriters will offer lower rates to responsible gun owners. Insurance companies will appreciate the new source of profits. This is a win-win proposition.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jeanne A.
