Our food supply is under assault by corporations that are aggressively patenting seeds. Food is a basic human need. Corporate ownership of such a basic human need is a path to food dominance and control. Do you want permission to eat when you're hungry? Would you like to be sued for having a home garden? No? Then sign today to force the patent office to get rid of such patents and make seed patenting illegal.

Spending cuts are tax increases through the back door, and hurt those who can least afford them.

The way to stop gun violence and reign in the NRA is to go after corporate interests. Therefore, I say refuse to shop at any store that sells guns. If you don't buy other stuff at Wal-Mart because they also sell guns, they will stop selling guns.

Regardless of political persuasion, polls have shown that the majority of Americans want our politicians to compromise and find ways to cut our deficit, raise the debt ceiling, ensure that entitlement programs are viable through effective changes and management, and get our country back on its feet economically. We need these things without months of wrangling, brinksmanship, and stalling at the cost of our national credit rating, the terrible effects on the middle class and the poor, and the across the board cuts and tax increases that were so egregiously agreed upon months ago. Unless we stand up and demand that Washington get things done, they won't, and we will pay.

Medical Marijuana is proven already as the best medicine for human consumption. Helps cure forms of cancer,severe pain, and kids with autism tend not to hurt themselves as much. How about our military, they suffer through back pains, surgery and missing body parts! Oh, but our government give these people pills that contain poison to the body, and cause mass side effects? Medical Marijuana can help us live and help our planet grow!

Two years ago, the Obama Administration compromised again and again with the Republicans, but the Republicans refuse to arrive at a workable funding solution to avoid the "fiscal cliff". Republicans claim that $250,000/year is near poverty levels, yet they claim that the $8100/year that welfare recipients receive makes them wealthy.

Our country faces a dire economic meltdown, isn't it time to ask everybody, including the currently exempt religions, to pitch in and help bring down our debt? I'm sure that would make a noticible dent in our national debt w/o compromising our security or social net. Please join me in getting Congress & the President to pass a law requiring them to pay their fair share too.

Being discussed now is that we the people will have to sacrifice our SS and Medicare benefits while our lawmakers enjoy superior health and retirement benefits at our expense. Time to discuss cutting these expensive lifetime benefits given to all the lawmakers no matter how dishonorably they have served.

It is unfair that States that are successful have to carry those that are not and unable to be due to misguided governance.

This petition calls upon the Congress to pass and the President to sign a law requiring all future potential gun owners to acquire liability insurance as a condition of purchases of new or used firearms as of the passage of the bill.

Get congress to work with the Pres. on the fiscal cliff..to show the same kind of cooperation that the Democrats in congress showed in 2008 when we were facing a finacial meltdown when Bush was president, and averted it with the tarp program.

The Fiscal Cliff
