• Expose the Dent in Congress
    In running for his very first office, State Rep, Charlie Dent promised, if elected, the $7,000.00 annual increase PA. House just approved would all go to local charities. He won - no one got a cent! People who courteously stto0d their grond to talk to them, got sent to jail, and heavily fined. Their crime? They wanted to meet with their Congressman

  • Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins: protect Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare
    The looming sequester mandated by the inability of US Congress to reach a deal on spending cuts and raising tax revenue by at least 1 trillion will raise everyone's income taxes and reduce spending across the board by far more than 1 trillion. That will send the country's economy into recession again. Congress must act soon and come up with a plan by years end.

  • Lower the deficit
    My petition is about our representatives in congress. I feel as though they should be paid by the hour since they take more vacations than anyone in America. Also I feel they should stop their cost of living raises they get every year until they do the job we sent them there to do.

  • Senator Casey: No Cuts to Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid - End the Bush Tax Cuts for the T...
    Over the past decade, most Americans have seen their income plummet and many have lost jobs and fallen into poverty. Meanwhile, the wealth of the top 2% has skyrocketed, thanks, in large part, to huge tax cuts. Enough! It's time for the top 2% to pay their fair share.

  • Endorse for More After School Programs
    I experience first hand (by Mentoring youth who are in Detention Centers) the need for more affordable, positive and safe facilities for After School Care. While graduation rates decline, crime and gang activity is on the incline.

  • To much time given to nonviolent offenders in the USA
    Why is the federal government giving life sentences to drug dealers? Jails were made for violent offenders. When is this going to stop? My son is facing life for selling drugs. Once these guys get out, they can't get a job because they are felons. Come on USA, we've got to do better by our people. The USA is creating monsters in these jails.

  • Democracy is not a business: Stop the shame
    In addition to most of it's language, our country should use most of Britain's political campaign financing laws. Currently, we go about elections as if we don't WANT to have a democracy. If we had a campaign and voting system that was truly democratic and some party tried to change it to what we have now, people would "riot in the streets." I am personally appalled by our current system.

  • We Need to Move On
    We must get the Republicans to take compromise seriously. The people of the United States have spoken - loudly - in the recent election, that the Republican agenda is not popular. We are sending this petition to the Republican Congressional members.

  • Support a Doctrine of Fairness for Palestinians
    For over 45 years now the Palestinian people have been treated like second class citizens in their own homeland. Israel's occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem must stop. We need a policy of "Fairness" that not only supports the security of Israel, but also recognizes the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people to have a secure homeland. Israel's security can only be guaranteed when Palestinian security is guaranteed. Let's work for both.
