I heard last night in election coverage "2 years & 2 billion dollars later." A president in their first term has to spend the second half of their term campaigning to try be re-elected. This petition is about presidential election reform. It's a circus.

Failing infrastructure is one of the biggest problems facing America. The experts say that investing in our infrastructure will not only improve public safety, but will create jobs which in turn improves our economy. I don't want our children and grandchildren to inherit an America that is literally fallling to pieces. The President has said we must "hold his feet to the fire." It is by demanding what we need for our country that we give Obama the support he needs to stand up to those who will continue to obstruct the President from making progress on this and other issues important for America. Please join us in insisting that our infrastructure is a priority issue for the American people.

The people of the State of California have been blatantly lied to with false advertisements created by the corporations (Monsanto, DuPont, Dow and others) that largely funded the NO on Prop 37 Campaign. The research provided in these false advertisements is not verifiable, and the facts are not facts. The collapse of support, and failure to pass Proposition 37, is an obvious and direct result of the funding of the negative campaign that confused and jaded voters.

National Grid and Long Island Power Authority’s (LIPA) preparedness and response to Hurricane Sandy have been completely unacceptable. Poor pre-planning has led to over 50 electrical substations going offline and left more than 1 million customers without power. Surely these substations could have been located, built, and/or protected better. Poor response is evident in that initial time frames for repair were given as "7-10 days", and then later bumped to "10-15 days". Over 150,000 customers are still without power a full nine days after the storm. Many are being told, “It could be at least another week”. Calls to customer service provide no estimated repair times for particular addresses, and as of November 7th they are no longer accepting calls. A message just simple says, “Due to the high call volume we cannot assign you a representative. Please try again later.” To boot, LIPA’s text alert system is not functioning as well. The fact that LIPA had to bring in thousands of out of state works also speaks volumes to their level of preparedness. Also, the fact that more than 1,500 non-union workers were turned away is simply appalling. With temperatures dropping and gasoline lines growing, harm that comes to people and their homes now falls on LIPA’s shoulders. For the highest power rates in the country, this is simply unacceptable. Please sign if you agree.

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.
