• Interference with OSCE Election Observers in Florida
    Please help. We need to make sure that the Election Observers, the OSCE in Florida are able to do so with no obstructions, intervention, interference, intimidation, or physical restraint or verbal abuse. The fact that we have had people from the Republican party, the Right Wing, the GOP and from Federal and State offices who are trying to intimidate these observers here in the state of Florida has not gone unnoticed. Please sign. Florida is a battleground state.

  • Take Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice Off the Air
    Donald Trump's attack's on the President's citizenship are embarrassing and racist. NBC's continued renewal of Trump's show sends the message that bigotry will be tolerated so long as there are profits to be made. We are calling on NBC to stand on the right side of history and cancel Celebrity Apprentice to send the message that bigotry has no place in our society.

  • Speak Out Campaign
    The Speak Out Campaign is a "Citizen Powered Antidote to Citizens United." Lift up Your Voice and Stop the Hijacking of Our Democracy By the Super Rich. In the 2012 election, rich and super rich donors have poured over a billion dollars into political campaign coffers. Most of that money goes for slick attack ads, designed to bend our perceptions, our opinions and our votes to their own self serving objectives. Join the rising chorus of voices speaking out against the super rich’s attempt to hijack our democracy. Things are changing in an era of citizen journalism as the ordinary citizens like us, find new ways to amplify our voices … real people … lifting up our voices … and Speaking Out: • Speaking out in videos and sharing those videos … • Speaking Out in conversations with our friends, family, colleagues, classmates. • Speaking Out in contacts with our elected representatives. • Speaking Out by signing this petition. Our goal is to reclaim our Democracy and if that requires a Constitutional Amendment that overturns the Citizen's United Supreme Court decision, then that's our strategy.

  • Anatomical Organ Donor
    The national wait time for organs for people is on the rise. Kidney wait times on average are 1219 days. The system for the wait list needs to change. There is a better way.

  • Getting people into jobs quickly
    There are just too many people struggling to get back into the working world. They need a break. My family, my siblings, and children of my relatives, have been greatly affected by the loss of their job, and those trying to get their first job. Some have managed with jobs that are paying them below minimum wage, and naturally are only able to survive by cutting back (not driving their vehicle, riding a bike to work, much less food, grooming needs, etc) barely able to pay the bills and getting charged late fees on top of it all. I'm on Soc.Sec.Disability, due to my spinal trouble; and therefore am able to survive, but no extra from month to month; until I can claim my small pension. Which leaves me helpless to offer assistance to my adult-children. It's sad to watch so many people who want to be responsible, but cannot find anyone to give them a chance. In this difficult time, we need to keep the hiring process simple; the college requirment should be dropped for at least a year, to help people get back on their feet again.

  • Ask the Department of Justice to have election monitors at polling locations
    Folks in Colorado want to ask the Department of Justice to have election monitors at polling locations to ensure that voter suppression outfits like True the Vote do not intimidate low-income, minority, and student voters from participating in the election.

  • Outlaw Subprime Mortgages
    We, the Citizens of the United States, demand to cease and desist all active subprime mortgages by enacting a mandatory law forbidding such. All banks, financial institutions, and mortgage servicers must remove the qualification process and place all subprime mortgage holders into standard fixed rate mortgage. It is clear the “BIG Banks” received “bailout funding” and failed to pass the concessions on to mortgage holders, denying millions of modifications, which has proven the intention of the “BIG Banks.” The government authorities have also failed to control or enforce the laws that they created. Therefore, the time has come to dismantle this racketeering enterprise created by the “BIG Banks,” holding them accountable for their intentional unwillingness, and deceitful modification practices and procedures. This behavior is unacceptable. They need to be stopped to stabilize the economy and our neighborhoods. The time to take action is now.

  • Limited Terms and perks in Congress and the Senate
    We limit the terms for our President. We should also limit the terms for Senators, and Congressmen/women. Some of these people get into office and plant themselves there. They get re-elected over and over, but they soon lose touch with what the people really want. We need to get people in these offices that care more about the American people, than gaining power, prestige, and money. If the Senators and Congressmen/women we have now are any example; WE NEED TO CLEAN HOUSE! For the past four years nothing has been accomplished because Republicans and Democrats alike have cared more about their personal agendas than what is BEST for ALL AMERICANS. I bet if we based their pay on how well the economy is doing, we'd have job growth, cheaper medical care, lower gas prices, etc... We need tighter regulations on the Senate and Congress, after all they do work for us, the American people.

  • Ban GMOs
    GMOs are dangerous to human survival. They can cause allergies, tumors, organ failure, and more. My husband has chrons, which is also a side effect of eating GMOs along with various other stomach problems. The 3rd generation of rats fed GMOs were sterile, so what would it do to people? Plus, if it crossbreads with non GMO plants, EVERYTHING will become GM and we will have no option.

  • Abolish Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission
    We need to eliminate the rights of corporations to financially back political candidates. The two major parties spent nearly 1.75 BILLION DOLLARS vying for the presidency in 2012. Of that colossal number 278 MILLION DOLLARS came from individual and organization Super PACs. Undisclosed donor funds ("dark money") is estimated at 400 MILLION DOLLARS. Because of the Supreme Court's 2010 decision on Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, unions, corporations and nonprofit organizations are allowed to give unlimited funds toward their choice for president of the United States. This Supreme Court decision all but eliminates the democratic process. It must be vetoed by the people.

  • American Jobs shipped Offshore
    I worked at Anthem Insurance in Roanoke, VA. I lost my job because it was shipped offshore to the Phillipines. Your healthcare may now be handled offshore by workers who do not understand or speak English. Is this Anthem's answer to the new revised healthcare requirements?
