We need to have stronger penalties for animal abuse and neglect in the state of Iowa more than a slap on the wrist for animal abuse or neglect !!!! We need some of the Texas laws !!

Due to the lack of employment and the weak housing market people have begun to live with their relatives, causing them to be 50% to 100% dependent on their family. If laws would increase the age of dependents to 65 years of age, that will give those who are helping out their family some kind of tax relief.

With Obama's re-election, I believe it's time to call on him to work with leading labor activists and those interested in erradicating Poverty (like JIll Stein and Cornell West) for the next four years if Pres.Obama is really vested in re-building the middle class of this country

It's time to end political gridlock and work as a team.

In 31 of our American States, convicted rapisits still have the ability to fight for custody of any child conceived in their sexual assult. Victims are having to sometimes choose between pressing charges against their assaulter, make a deal in exchange for having the rapist sign over all rights, or have to share custody of their child with the person who raped them. I have 2 daughters and I am fighting to make sure they never have to choose like other young women have had to do. I am fighting to make sure my daughters, all daughters, all women and even some men, don't have to worry about fighting against parental rights from the person who has so deeply wounded and changed their lives. I need your voice, help me protect victims of rape and the children they have from that horrible act. Share this, sign this, let us work to make our country one that holds all victims above the rights of the convicted rapists.

Let us Vote for ourselves! No more Electoral College!

Requesting ALL Of Congress to WORK together, Tell the Republicans to Stop Obstructionism and follow 220 years of History, from the Founding fathers of Compromise and Cooperation to put the PEOPLE of the USA #1 Priority.

In this election 6 billion dollars was spent across our nation to inundate the public in ugly adds and pamphlets. I am sickened by the lies and vicious attacks that are dividing our nation. Corporate interests are spending millions to fund candidates supporting their personal agendas. This is an unhealthy situation for democracy. Let us make our voices heard to our government officials to enact legislation to limit corporate spending.

A Restraining Order against Grover Norquist is herewith Petitioned for holding hostage the Republican Representatives and Senators in the Capitol.

I am a proponent of fair trade. A while ago I noticed Starbucks was brewing fair trade coffee only once a week, and now, not at all. I am writing this petition in hope that Starbuck's will support fair trade everywhere.

The BLM is rounding up all the wild horses and selling them to buyers from slaughter houses. It is costing millions of dollars. They kill many horses just in the course of the round-ups. Horses are run until their hooves break off, until pregnant mares give birth, until foals and others are injured and have to be destroyed. Thirteen foals were lost in a single round up in Nevada last winter. The BLM does not have the facilities or the money to maintain the thousands of horses they have imprisoned. The animals are not properly cared for. Stop this senseless slaughter of innocent wild creatures! Enforce the Wild Horse and Burro Act of 1971. Stop the BLM !

Republicans have been abusing the filibuster, requiring 60 votes to get practically anything passed in the Senate. Americans have voted for Democrats to control the Senate, not Republicans. I want to reinstate democracy in the Senate.
