  • Fight for Country-of-Origin Labeling
    The Country of Origin Labeling Act (COOL) was passed in Washington as part of the 2002 Farm Bill. Starting in 2008, COOL ordered U.S. retailers to notify their customers, by way of labeling, on the sources of many meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, and some nuts sold in their stores. In November of 2011, the World Trade Organization (WTO) declared that the law violated parts of the WTO's Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT). Even though Washington appealed the ruling last March, the WTO Appellate Body upheld its decision, stating that COOL "has a detrimental impact on imported livestock." As citizens of the United States, we reject the WTO's authority to undermine our domestic laws. COOL does not discriminate against any country by requiring labeling. We ask that our government defend this consumer right and take a stand for our nation's sovereignty by disregarding the WTO's ruling on COOL.

  • Lift the Embargo on Cuba Now!
    We have voted for President Obama to work for us and this blockade is about 50 years old. This is the time to lift embargo on Cuba who helped release Nelson Mandela from jail. They send 200 medical doctors to Ghana every year to work in the remote villages. We should trade and be able to visit Cuba.

  • Keep NC Frack Free
    Hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," has contaminated drinking water supplies and waterways, increased air pollution, and marred landscapes in the states where it is prevalent. Now, out-of-state oil and gas companies want to bring this risky drilling practice to North Carolina, which could threaten Jordan Lake, the Eno River, the Deep River-- and the drinking water supplies for hundreds of thousands. In a controversial vote, the North Carolina General Assembly has lifted some restrictions on fracking, but a moratorium on drilling remains. Sign our petition to make sure we protect our water, air, and quality of life from the form of gas drilling that has been linked to more than 1,000 cases of water contamination around the country.

  • Do not throw our kids over the fiscal cliff; raise taxes on wealthy & cut Race to the Top instead!
    Hugely damaging across-the-board education cuts will occur, causing increased class size & loss of essential services to kids, unless the President & the Congress agree on a budget which raises revenue and saves expenses. Please urge them avoid this outcome by raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans, who should be paying their fair share, and by cutting non-essential & even damaging programs, like "Race to the Top" and other competitive federal grants, promoting more high-stakes testing, merit pay, school closings, mass teacher firings, and the expansion of online learning, which replaces the personal attention that children need to succeed. None of these programs have any evidence to support them and are creating havoc and rising discontent among parents, teachers & other concerned citizens throughout the country.

  • Make the filibuster a real filibuster
    Too often, good ideas die in the Senate even when they have majority support because a single Senator can tie up the process and prevent an up-or-down vote. They can do this not by mounting an impassioned lengthy floor speech, but by making one quick call and then heading out to dinner. If Senators want to filibuster, they should be required to stand on the floor and make their case to the American people with a real, talking filibuster. Please, sign our petition in support of making the filibuster a real, talking filibuster.

  • Support General Petraeus
    I believe it's time for ALL citizens-Democrats,Republicans, the Far Left to the Far Right, to come to the support of a great American. While our country is saddly deeply divided on many issues, it is painful to see a man whose life has been dedicated to our country so arrogantly besmirched for a personal and sad indiscretion.

  • Reform/Abolish Student Loans
    The student loan program has only served to put students in debt and put them at a weaker position in the economy. Where other countries in Europe feel that education is a right and does not put their students in debt because they chose to pursue an education and better themselves, our system chooses to punish students. Increasing grants is simply not enough. Either the government provides more ways to abolish student debt or chooses the better of option of making public institutions affordable by covering the cost of tuition. I have started this petition here also: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/reformabolish-student-loan-program/vWMqwfZ2

  • End the Bush tax cuts for the rich!
    As a retired citizen, I do not feel I should pay more tax than the rich in our society. Basic economic principle suggests that if the poor and middle class - the 98%, does not have the money to spend, the economy crumbles. The 1-2% are not the only job creators in this country, so this idea being touted by the Republican Congress, that if the rich were fairly taxed, it would prevent job growth, is ill conceived. The rich supports paying a bit more to generate revenue.
