• Boycott Koch Brothers Products
    Citizens United opened the floodgates for special interests to spend on political advertising. The Koch Brothers spent millions to defeat Democrats and flooded the media with lies and misinformation about candidates and proposals. We, the People can fight back against this abuse by not buying their products.

  • Re-districting Clarendon County South Carolina freedom 3 districts to seven
    All of the people are not being represented under the current county districting. For decades we have had this form of government. Having seven districts would provide for more participation by a more diverse group of representatives. It would eleminated the small controlled group government we currently have and provide a greater voice of all the people throughout our county. It would allow us to grow beyond the small mindedness we currently have governing our county.

  • Put Pressure On The Obstructionists
    I want to start a petition to tell the Republicans in the House and the Senate to stop their obstruction tactics like they have used against President Obama. They were elected to go to Congress and compromise with the President to get things done for the American people.

  • Tax Cuts for the Rich
    It is about discontinuing President Bush's tax cuts for the rich. It effects our entire country and contributes significantly to our national deficit. Discontinuing these tax cuts is non-negotiable. They never should have occurred in the first place.

  • Trump, Your Fired! Tell NBC to Cancel Celebrity Apprentice
    As a follow up to the "Dump the Trump" at Macy's petition, equally we should implore NBC Universal to not renew Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice show slated for March 2013 for the same reasons. Mr.Trump has proven to be a public embarrassment and help to spur incendiary and antagonistic rhetoric about our country's election process and also about the President of the United States. Although in the court of public opinion everyone has the right to free speech, and we as viewers have the right to choose what we shall or shall not watch on our televisions, there is some responsibility on the part of the company or corporation(in the case NBC Universal) to monitor and address issues that run counter to their network policies and affect viewers and shareholders adversely. Therefore, we should call on CEO & President Steve Burke of NBC Universal to cancel the upcoming season of Celebrity Apprentice and tell Donald Trump "Your Fired!" Here's the latest commentary in the media and blogosphere supporting the idea of this petition: -Scott D. Pierce, Television Critic for the Salt Lake City Tribune http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/entertainment2/55269990-223/trump-nbc-doesn-network.html.csp?page=1 -Alyssa Rosenberg, Culture Reporter for ThinkProgress.org; columnist for Slate; correspondent for TheAtlantic.com http://thinkprogress.org/alyssa/2012/11/13/1164271/nbc-donald-trump-the-apprentice/ Add you support of this petition! I need to reach a goal of 50 to move this forward! http://signon.org/sign/trump-your-fired-tell

  • Boycott Papa John's and Applebee's for punishing their workers due to election result
    A number of businesses, including some large chain restaurants like Applebee's, have decided to punish their employees' decision to vote for Obama in this past election. Reports have emerged that "a business owner in Williamson, Georgia told C-Span that he laid off three employees ("who voted for Obama") and cut his remaining employees' hours from 30 to 25 per week due to his fear of Obamacare" (gawker.com). According to the Huffington Post, "the CEO of Papa John's Pizza said that due to Obamacare, it's 'likely that some franchise owners would reduce employees' hours in order to avoid having to cover them.'" Similarly, "Applebee's owner Tankel wouldn't go so far as saying he would lay off current employees or cut their hours to keep them part-time rather than pay for their health care, but he did hint that those were distinct possibilities." It is our responsibility as consumers to boycott these businesses. Using an extreme interpretation of marginal productivity theory, these CEOs are arguing that unless citizens cave in to their every demand, unless we vote the way they want us to vote, unless we agree to work for pitiful wages, unless we agree to work for them without requiring that they provide us and our children with healthcare coverage, unless we do all these things they will proceed to punish us like little children for our "unreasonable" behavior. We should not capitulate to this undemocratic blackmail. We must boycott their businesses in order to show them that ordinary consumers are the real agents of economic growth. Businesses and the economy at large cannot succeed when there is low aggregate demand. Businesses cannot succeed when people working for dismal wages can barely afford to eat out, when people have to worry all the time about medical bankruptcies, when people are laid off because their employer did not like the way they voted. They must be disabused of the false impression that they are single handedly the job creators upon which our economy depends. They must learn that it is the symbiotic relationship between an aggregate group of financially secure consumer citizens and businesses who depend on them that leads to economic prosperity. We have to get this point across by boycotting their place of business, no matter how much we love the products they sell. This is an ideological battle that we cannot afford to lose! Thank you in advance for your support, Mich Nyawalo

  • Hydrolic Fracturing
    There is fracking going on in California. The oil companies have somehow not had to conduct environmental studies. They are NOW being required to let landowners know that there is fracking going on in the vicinity. the environmental damage due to fracking is devastating. I thought we were an environmentally 'aware' state.

  • Rep. Boehner and Republicans: Burn Your Norquist Pledges!
    Most Republican Congressional Representatives and Senators signed a pledge to Grover Norquist that they would not raise taxes, This has stymied Congressional budget action, Now is the time for those individuals to prove that they are open to compromise by having a public burning of those pledges. At the same time, join with President Obama in creating a federal budget that is reasoned and based on the findings and recommendations of the Congressional Budget Office.

  • Keep Jim Sensenbrenner's Big Oil Agenda out of the Science Committee!
    Jim Sensenbrenner seeks the top House Science Committee post. Jim still does not think that Climate Change is real. He still pushes a big oil based agenda - discrediting years of quality research form our top scientists and researchers round the world. Either Jim is truly clueless when it comes to this, or more likely he has a hidden agenda - claiming that these fully legitimate climate findings are bunk so he can try to convince the American public that there is no climate issue, and that we can simply keep burning fossil fuels and burning coal like there is no problem. We are smarter than that, and we know it's a problem. As long as there are House members who are manipulating the facts to their own nefarious ends, America's move towards the future of Power will be delayed. Science=YES | Jim=NO! http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/2012/11/its-official-sensenbrenner-seeks.html
