The greatest right we have is to vote in our democracy but for some reason we have it on a day that has been more difficult to participate due to employment requirements and the population having to work more than one job thus making it inaccessible to many of our citizens. We should celebrate our right to vote!!!

The President’s first post-election confrontation with the GOP – over the supposed fiscal cliff Republicans created – is about to unfold, and many of us fear that once again the President will lean over backwards to accommodate the party of denial and intransigence. Though a three-million vote majority re-elected President Obama, Democrats increased their Senate majority, and more people actually voted for Democratic Party candidates for the House of Representatives than for Republicans, there is a danger the President will compromise away what the majority voted for in order to avoid a fiscal crisis. This petition urges the President to defy Republican blackmail. We don't need a "grand deal" that's a "grand sell-out."

I feel that we should dock legislators every day they fail to pass a budget on time.The concern is our fiscal cliff. We don't have time to play with argument between the parties we need urgent reform now. Why must we be played with because of egos that don't agree that's not acceptable. Expand presidential power to reorganize or eliminate redundant parts of the federal government. Allow members the ability, if the majority is there to anonymously override a leader or committee chairs to bring a bill to the floor. The names would be made public after the bill passes.

It is UNAMERICAN to make non-essential people work on a holiday such as this. Let's send a clear message to corporate America that we will NOT TOLERATE THIS NONSENSE!

My petition is about Macys hiring Donald Trump.

Cooperate with the dems !!!

The intersection of Packard Ave and Powderhouse Boulevard in Somerville has seen too many pedestrian injuries. On the night of November 8th, 2012, a Tufts student was hospitalized. Motorists routinely exceed the speed limit on Powderhouse because poor design makes them feel it's safe to do so. Let's show the City of Somerville and Tufts University that this matters to our community. Despite the traffic calming measures that have been put in place, as of November 19th, there is still more work to be done. NEW: What the intersection now needs is either a four-way stop or a Walk/Don't Walk signal that is activated by pedestrians seeking to cross Powderhouse. After the traffic calming measures that have been put in place, this is the next step. Possible construction is tentatively scheduled for spring of 2013. Safety around campus should be pressing, and a sense of urgency should be behind these decisions. Please work to make these changes swiftly.

When I walk up and down my market's aisles (including my health food stores) I wonder why I am worrying about whether or not the product I select is genetically modified and is safe for my family to consume. I ask "How did this stressful, unnecessary anxiety wrap itself around our food?" Americans should feel confident about the wholesomeness of our food supply. We need our government at the federal level to step in and stop Monsanto's tyranny!

Papa John's currently has a promotion where they are giving away some two milllion pizzas and at the same time planning to cut employee hours in order to prevent paying bennifits and is using OBAMA Care as the reason, the CEO has forgotten who his customers are, most are not the people that live near his 40 million dollar mansion that he has truely earned off the backs of his workers and the funds of the 99%.

Working people at Papa Johns will be layed off because according to Papa Johns, President Obama won re-election and he now has to pay healthcare for his workers.

Put it to a vote nationwide, whether Congress (Senators and Representatives) get a raise, and make it mandatory that you have to serve three terms to collect a pension from the government.

Tell Congress to pass a law that, groups listed as hate groups should not be allowed a 501c3 charity status. Ministers like Scott Lively are spreading their message of "hate the Gays" throughout the world. Uganda is about to pass a bill that will put Gay men and Women to death.
