• Save the American People from Grover Nortquist
    I have not been personally affected by what Grover Norquist is pulling, but I have been outraged! I don't see how he can get these Congressmen to sign that pledge and then hold it over their heads if they don't stick to it.

  • SAVE ELMO of Sesame Street
    An accuser recanted his accusation against Kevin Clash (Elmo's muppeteer), then recanted his recant. This established that he can't be trusted to be truthful. Kevin Clash has resigned from Sesame Street to spare the show from controversy. My kids LOVE Elmo. Kevin's private, personal business is personal and private. SHARE THIS PETITION!

  • Healthcare for One and All
    As someone who suffered through two years of chronic back pain while I searched for insurance to cover the necessary surgery, I can testify that our healthcare system doesn't work. Lack of healthcare ruins lives and destroys families. The petition asks that the same healthcare enjoyed by our elected officials is provided as an affordable option to every resident of the state. If our elected officials don't think this issue is important enough to demand action, let them walk a mile in the shoes of the under and uninsured. Let them forfeit their own affordable healthcare, and we'll see how quickly their minds change.

  • Pledge to NOT VOTE for Grover Norquist's Representatives
    Some elected officials have signed a loyalty oath to Grover Norquist's "Pledge" to never raise taxes for government revenue, which makes it impossible for government to provide services to their citizen's and for improving our nation, to whom they should be in service too.

  • Medicare Buy-in for All
    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.

  • Congresspersons: Don't sign pledges limiting your Congressional actions!
    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.

  • Health Care Availability For All
    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.

  • Planned Parenthood funding
    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?
