• Debate the republican War on Women
    I am distressed that the polls of women do not show overwhelming support for the Democratic ticket. How in heaven's name could ANY women support the g.o.p. ticket when they are commited to taking women back to the "dark ages". How is it possible that it's okay with any women, or any man who loves a woman -- wife, daughter, niece, grand-daughter -- to have pontifical men telling women what they can and cannot do with their own bodies? Especially in the case of rape! Oh, no, They would not have to bear the child of the criminal for nine long months. How can they justify ignoring the separation of church and state?

  • remove the income ceiling for social security withholding taxes
    currently once your income reaches 106,800 social security taxes cease being witheld from your pay and your employer no longer pays any more. Persons with multi-million dollar incomes pay no more than a hard working husband/wife team whose combined income may not even reach this level. These upper income people are more able to make contributions than low income wage earners.

  • GMO labeling on all foods in the US and those for export.
    This petitiion is about allowing people to be informed when they are eating GMO foods. As a clinician practicing for 30 years I have seen many clients become ill from foods that are genetically modified. They had no idea they were eating foods that had been tampered with. People have a right to know.

  • Abolish the Electoral College
    Section 1 Art 2 of the constitution specifies how the president will be elected. The Electoral College is outmoded and robs voters from being counted in the Presidential Election. I needs to be abolished by a Constitutional Amendment specifying one person one vote. My vote for a Democratic President has not counted for several elections because I am in a majority Republican state, Texas.

  • Term limits for Congress
    The country would be better served if there were term limits for Congress. This would help to reduce some of the gridlock that we are seeing as members wouldn't be so worried about reelection and would vote their conscience versus party lines. What you have right now is everyone concerned about reelection and voting party lines versus whats best for the country.

  • Poverty Level
    The poverty level according to the government has stayed the same. Yet, prices keep going up in groceries, gas, health insurance, medicine, etc.... It is time to raise the poverty level so more people will not have to go hungry, not without clothes, medical help etc.... Who can possibly make it on minimum wage and pay a sitter? These people are also losing their homes and as Americans we need to fight for them and their children. What if it was you?

  • Public Schools for Public Service Official's children
    Public schools are in shambles across America. The only way we can fix it is by making our elected leaders experience what we go through as parents of public school students. To make them accountable, all elected officials must be required to send their children to public schools in their area as a part of their pledge to serve the community they get elected to represent.
