Tell Gov. Cuomo to back Democrats who support Fair ElectionsEarlier this year, Governor Cuomo announced his plan to limit the corrupting influence of big money on elections through a system of public financing. New York has an opportunity to take a stand against Citizens United, and make sure every voice is heard, not just billionaires and corporate special interests. But to win real change to our broken political system, we need a legislature that supports the Fair Elections plan. The Assembly already does. We just need to “flip” the Senate from Republican to Democratic control. George Latimer in Westchester, Cece Tkaczyk in the Hudson Valley and Ted O’Brien in Rochester are all progressive Democrats, running in competitive, open-seat Senate races who support the Fair Elections plan. Terry Gipson, Justin Wagner, Ryan Cronin and Andrew Gounardes are all running in competitive races too. They can win, especially with President Obama at the top of the ticket, but they need support. Gov. Cuomo is the most popular Governor in America. But in crucial races that will determine the control of the Senate and the fate of the Fair Elections proposal, he has been silent. Even worse, he has hinted that he might support Republicans. But there’s still time to act. Gov. Cuomo needs to stand and support the Democrats who are backing the Fair Elections plan. Gov. Cuomo: take a stand and endorse the Democrats who support your agenda.9,582 of 10,000 SignaturesCreated by Joe Seeman

National regulations for National electionsNational elections are important to our National well being. Local boards of elections should not be allowed to interfere with hours and days that voters can use their right to vote. By having national rules we will be able to lessen the temptation to try to supress the vote! I think it is a national embarrassment to see how people (Rep)are trying to steal peoples civil rights.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bernadette Stenger

Election Fraud with Bain-linked e-voting machinesOhio's Hamilton county is ground zero for Romney and Republicans. See "Will the GOP Steal America's 2012 Election?" (www.freepress.org) Hart Intercivic, now H.I.G.Capital, controls the voting machines in Hamilton County and has directors and partners from Bain Company or Bain Capital on the H.I.G. board. H.I.G. Directors John. P. Boduk and Dougals Berman are major fundraisers for Romney and H.I.G. employees have contributed at least $338,000 to the Romney campaign. The extreme right ring Republican Governor John Kasich and his Secretary of State, John Husted will control Ohio's electronic vote count on election night. John Husted, the Ohio Secretary of State has ignored the judicial decisions on early voting, which prevent Ohio citizens living in predominantly minority areas in Florida from voting. Voting. Because of a clear conflict of interest in their oversight of Ohio voting machines owned by a Bain subsidary, they should not be allowed to oversee Ohio voting or control Ohio's electronic vote count.

Citizens:Save Our EconomyOur government has allowed our economy to become depressed through the mass exodus of manufacturing positions and the outsourcing of other sectors of employment. Congress has been unsuccessful in stemming the tide of job losses, either due to incompetence, or a conflict of interest in that they are favoring corporations over their fellow citizens. By failing to take strong steps to restore our jobs, our economy is being destroyed. George Washington realized that in order for our country to succeed, it was necessary to protect our economy and make use of import tariffs.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nancy Usher

Stop Bullying NowMy Cousin goes to Herbert Hoover Elementary School and I am concerned with the fact that he has been being severely bullied for the past month or so and the school refuses to do anything about it. They want him, the victim, to switch schools, or miss recess. The last time I checked the children doing the bullying are the ones who should be punished. They finally listened after he told them that he would kill himself. Even then all they did was call the crisis center. The bullies have not been spoken to. We believe that the schools actions are bullying in and of themselves. They told this 11 year old that his bullies would never find out if he would just tell the principal, all of this was witnessed by his aunt. When she left him at the school for the day the principal called both my cousin and the three bullies into his office and he called my cousin a liar because he wasn't brave enough to accuse the other children to their faces. They have him scared enough that he is having panic attacks and freaking out at the thought of going to school. Mr. Rodriquez stated to one of my family members that "He didn't know any other way to handle the situation." Even the superintendent told my cousins father there was nothing they could do. The policy from the Parent/Student handbook for Herbert Hoover is as follows: "BULLYING/CYBERBULLYING Effective April 23, 2008, the Neshaminy board of School Directors approved Policy 553 – Bullying/Cyberbullying. All forms of bullying and cyberbullying by District students are hereby prohibited. Anyone who engages in bullying or cyberbullying in violation of this policy shall be subject to appropriate discipline. This policy is in effect while student are on property within the jurisdiction of the District; while on school-owned and/or operated vehicles; while attending or engaged in school-sponsored activities; and while away from school grounds if the misconduct directly affects the health and safety of students and staff as well as the good order, efficient management and welfare of the District. Any student who retaliates against another student for reporting bullying or extortion or for assisting or testifying in the investigation or hearing may be subject to disciplinary action. Please refer to Policy 553 – Bullying/Cyberbullying for more detailed information." So many children and teens take their lives because they just can't take anymore. It is hard being different, it is hard to hear that you are fat, ugly, stupid, all day. And as we get older the insults get harsher. You medicate children instead of working on their problems. If he is jumping around too much he has ADHD, give him a pill. If he is having panic attacks, it's just anxiety, give him a pill. Pay attention people. How shallow do we have to be, how many lives do we have to lose, to see that bullying is an epidemic in the US and other countries as well. If we can put a stop to it now think of how many lives we can save.222 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Melody Troxell
