• President Obama: Don't renege on your promise to your voters!
    In negotiating with the House Republicans, please do not go back on your promise to your voters. You promised to save tax cuts for the middle class, raise taxes (over $250K) for the 1%, and no cuts to MediCare or MediCaid.

  • Respect for Marriage Act
    Gay and lesbian individuals are being discriminated against every day by our federal government under the guise of protecting marriage for the purpose of bearing and raising children. DOMA does nothing to purport any government interest encouraging monogamy, bearing or raising children in a stable household.

  • Compromise to Avoid Cliff
    Massive, indiscriminate across-the-board cuts will hurt us all - not just the poor, but farmers, retirees, military personnel... everyone. Combine that will tax increases for the middle class and you have a disaster. Posturing and grandstanding aren't solutions; budget compromise is.

  • Compensation of Congressional Officials
    Given that Senators and Representatives are acting on behalf of their state, it should be up to each state to determine the compensation of their representatives. This petition seeks an Amendment to the US Constitution to shift control of the compensation (including pensions and health care) to the States and the residents of each state.

  • Entitlements for Congress
    I have to pay or be responsible for my own Retirement and Health Care and am also as a Taxpayer paying for Congress' Retirement and Health Care. I am middle class but they can very well afford to pay for their own. What they do for us does not entitle them to those "Perks" and they voted it in for themselves, we did not.
