Rob Walton: Respect Your Employees Right to Speak OutInstead of listening to and learning from its workers, Walmart has sought to silence us and retaliate against those who dare to speak up. Warehouse workers who work for Walmart contractors have also experienced retaliation for speaking out. Now, Walmart workers have had enough. It's not an easy decision. But without an end to the retaliation in sight, workers Walmart workers from coast to coast are walking off the job in protest. On Black Friday, and throughout the Holiday Season, we're standing up for an end to the retaliation against workers who speak out for what's right for our families, our communities, and our country.74,844 of 75,000 SignaturesCreated by Jamie Way

Reduce Obesity of Americans by Changing Agricultural SubsidiesSubsides for corn and corn feed have done an excellent job at lowering cost on corn and its byproducts, like high fructose corn syrup and beef. Unfortunately, a growing percentage of our population is becoming overweight by consuming too much of these affordable foods. Changing our agriculture subsidies by transferring 20% of corn and corn feed subsidies to healthier fruits and veggies like avocados, spinach, cabbage, carrots, and tomatoes etc..would reduce the cost of these healthier foods and therefore increase consumption by Americans. This change would reduce obesity related diseases, which would result in lower health care costs.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael G. Fons

IMPROVE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MOTOR-VOTER LAWThe purpose of the motor-voter law was to increase voter participation by making it easier to register. But because of a disconnect between the Department of Public Safety and the registration office many people who registered at the motor-vehicle department are turned away at the polls because they are not registered. I know of one case where around 2000 people lost their right to vote because of this disconnect.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Frances Burford

Dethroning CorporationsOverturn Citizens United v. The Federal Election Commission. America was founded in response to the tyranny of a despotic oppressor. Our 18th century revolution set the stage for a new, democratic way of life. But it took less than two hundred years before we lost our way and once again took up the yoke of oppression. Through a long history of self-serving legislation and judicial decisions, monied interests managed to cede overwhelming power to corporations, ultimately threatening our very republic. It is time for a second American Revolution; one in which we cast down this insidious corporate tyrant and restore government control to those whom it should and must represent: we the people. Undue corporate influence over our legislative process must and should be strictly limited, first by overturning this disastrous decision by the SCOTUS.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ben Gorman
