$30 Mobile phone upgrade fee charged by Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and othersMobile phone companies charge their customers a separate $30 fee for making sure the new phone they sell you actually works! If a store charged you $30 to leave the store only after you buy something, you would not buy anything at that store. It's wrong for mobile phone companies to do this, they should not do it, and we should not have to pay it!9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dr. Robert F. Tardif

Make Voter Registration Drives EasierMany of us volunteered to register voters recently, but were frustrated when we had to turn people away because they lived in a different municipality. The system should be changed to provide a more equal opportunity for people to register with Special Registration Deputies.395 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Paul Malischke

Every Public School should have a libraryBeing a librarian for going on 30 years, I have witnessed the demise of the library in the public school setting. With drastic cuts in state education budgets, libraries were hit hard and resulted in over half the schools in America without functioning libraries. Libraries have always been the heart of a learning institution. Literacy rates soar with a good library and we need a literate future society.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Carl Birk

John Henry Lawson, Civil War HeroJohn Henry Lawson was an African American who won the Medal of Honor for his actions aboard the USS Hartford at the Battle of Mobile Bay on August 5, 1864. For a significant portion of his life, Lawson lived in Camden, New Jersey. He also chose to be buried in Jersey soil. With the 150th commemoration of the Civil War currently taking the NJ Sesquicentennial Committee has elected to exclude John Henry Lawson from its list of New Jersey Medal of Honor winners, Also, Lawson, who was an African American, is the only MOH winner excluded by the committee. We want Lawson's name added to its roll of MOH winners.80 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dr. James Johnson

Affordable Healthcare For All Americans..My 49 year old brother recently had a stroke and brain anuerism because he did not have affordable healthcare insurance. He was not able to purchase his high blood pressure medicine at cost. He coded several times, but presently is in a brain injury rehabilitation hospital.

impoverished middle class parentsIn Pennsylvania families like mine pay 40% of net income for their children's early education. Single parents receive help, people with extremely low income receive help. But those people who decide to marry and work full time jobs receive absolutely no help. My family would be better off financially if i left the house. The family would be showered with benefits including subsidized daycare. Many families choose to live separately, or never marry because they would rather not worry about picking what bills to skip out on paying because they spent $1400 on daycare for the month, more than the rent, car payment, insurance, food combined.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by brian anderson

Support Filibuster ReformThere are efforts in progress to reform the filibuster in the U.S. Senate. Senator Feinstein has indicated that she currently opposes those reforms. The current filibuster rules have been abused to frustrate meaningful progress in the Senate. Any reforms must be passed when the Senate reconvenes in January.102 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Thomas H. Sponsler

Tell the banks to return the taxpayers money.I would like start a petition to the President and Congress to write a bill to the bankers to give our tax dollar back from when they were bailed out initially. I don't understand why they were bailed out, but it is now apparent they don't need the money, and haven't done with the money anything to help the tax payers.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Linda O'Connor

Minimum Wage INCREASE-PLEASEDO NOT SUPPORT THE FOLLOWING COMPANIES UNTIL THEY DO THE RIGHT THING! LETS HIT THEM WHERE IT HURTS, THERE BUSINESS AND PROFITS................... This petition is for all those that are working at WAL-MART, McDonalds, Wendy's, Arby's, Burger King, K-Mart and all others who only pay a minimum wage, don't give holiday pay, no insurance or any benefits. This economy can support a minimum wage of at least $10.00 hr and benefits for all employees. Why should everyone that works for them have to depend on welfare and other govt benefits and pass this burden onto other taxpayers.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Don Vaughn
