A Medicare buy-in would give Americans immediate access to affordable, quality health care. Many states are refusing to participate in the Medicaid expansion and did not or will not create health exchanges. Given that many Americans will need taxpayer subsidies to buy health insurance coverage as required by the ACA mandate, a Medicare buy-in would send taxpayer subsidies back to the federal treasury instead of further enriching for-profit health insurance companies who are the root cause of our escalating health care costs and diminishing health care quality.

We want Elizabeth Warren on the Banking Committee.

Last year a great many Republicans signed Grover Norquist's pledge not to raise taxes. Their action prevented most legislation of consequence from being accomplished for an entire year. We need a wise Congress with no political entanglements keeping them from doing the important work of the nation.

Reforming how Congress operates, is funded and deals with the peoples business.

Stop the gridlock. Please reform the filibuster rule so it does NOT require 60 votes to get anything done in the Senate.

The Affordable Care Act is now the law, and all states should be held responsible for implementing it. Some states refuse to implement it even though the Supreme Court has ruled that it is the Law. This petition is to call on all states to obey the law and implement The Affordable Care Act for their citizens, and if the legislators in these states refuse, they should surrender their government health care entirely.

Current filibuster rules are interfering with our democracy

The State of Ohio is trying to take away funds for Planned Parenthood. It is a vital program for the people of Ohio. It helps low-income men and women from age 10 up. It's a vital resource for birth control to those who otherwise couldn't afford it. All types of birth control: • Emergency contraception and follow-up • Pregnancy testing and counseling* • Male and female sterilization • STD counseling and testing* • HIV counseling and testing* So why take this program away when it helps so many?

I am a student in florida studying the plant called cannibis. my first views on marijuana were normal, i thought it was a dangerous drug that would kill brain cells and give you cancer like cigarettes. Then i actually started doing research on what others have found out about the effects of marijuana and they were surprisingly different than what i thought. obviously by now we know that colorado and a few other states have legalized marijuana for recreational use and i think we should do the same. Marijuana is a safe and beautiful plant that has many medical uses and if there is truth to what science has proved why should we even for a second be in denial of something that can cure pain or even major deseases. please sign this petition for the people who want to be healthy, safe and have something that can relax them on a hard day at work. I think the reason this plant was illegal in the first place was because they took it out on the people who were abusing marijuana, those people should be punished. But for the people who want to sit at home and smoke a fat one and do no harm, should be allowed to. What are they doing wrong?

Our next greatest challenge is on the horizon. Our looming debt should be first and for most. America has spoken and we demand accountability and responsibility. No matter how we got here, now is the time to pay America back, and forward. No longer can we afford to protect Americas wealthy from their patriotic responsibilities.
