Reduce chronic disease through good nutritionThe Farm Bill supports producing meat and carbs. Less than 5% goes to growing the fruits and vegetables that prevent obesity, cancer, and heart disease. Our national leaders should support public service commercials and make public statements to encourage people to eat fruits and vegetables, and use the Farm Bill to support farmers who grow foods that make us healthy.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Roc Ordman

Pan-American Insurance Refuses to Cover Life-Saving Cancer TreatmentKeri Blickenstaff Kinsel is a 27 year-old wife, PhD student, teacher, daughter, sister, and step mother. In January 2012 she was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive bone cancer, Ewing's Sarcoma (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ewing's_sarcoma). After months of aggressive chemotherapy and radiation, her doctors have prescribed one final major dose of chemo followed by a bone marrow transplant. They believe this will greatly increase her chances of survival. Her insurance company, Pan-American, has denied coverage due to profit motivations. Pan-American is an insurer with $2.2 Billion dollars in assets and almost $500 Million in annual revenue (http://www.palig.com/about/press_release.aspx?id=94&language=en-us). We think Pan-American can afford Keri's treatment. This petition is to José S. Suquet, Chairman of the Board, President and CEO of Pan-American to over turn Pan-American's decision not to cover Keri Blickenstaff Kinsel's life-saving treatment. Please take a brief moment to sign, and please spread this petition far and wide via email and social media. There have been cases of insurance companies over turning denial of coverage due to people speaking out, and we expect this to be one! Thank you for your time and consideration.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael J. VanHassel

No ads for drugs on TVThere are a lot of people in our country influenced by television ads. A 30 or 60 second ad should not be how someone determines what drugs they need. Drug companies should market to doctors - but not to an uneducated public. The "fine print" needs to be printed, not spewed by a fast talking actor in the alloted time during the commercial.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by PatSwan

Save the last town waterfront for fishermenSince July, 2012, the Bowditch property, located in the heart of Town has been for sale and we feel that the highest and best use for this property is to have it available for marine-oriented enterprise such as a boatyard, marine railway, or fishing pier.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by HvD

I demand that Rep. Bill Johnson publicly call for Secretary Husted to reinstate early voting on w...Our democracy guarantees every citizens right to vote. Across the country in 40 states, the GOP controlled legislatures proposed and in many stes enacted legislation to disenfranchise voters in the fall. A majority of the laws were rebuked by the courts as was Ohio. Secretary Husted has refused to adhere to the courts ruling and in a partisan way has chosen to limit early voting by nearly 50%. This is a coordinated GOP stragedy to steal the election for Mitt Romney and disenfranchise voters who are poor, senior, and minorities and who vote by a majority democratic. As a constituent, I call on Rep. Bill Johnson to fight for our right to vote and call on Secretary Husted to reinstate early voting on weekends from now until Election Day.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Horkulic

Rep. Latta: Tell Secretary Husted to reinstate weekend votingThis petition is about reinstating early voting on the weekends here in Ohio. We used to have this right. Secretary of State Jon Husted took it away from us. If our representative, Bob Latta, publicly calls for Husted to reinstate weekend voting, there could be a chance for reinstatement prior to Election Day.217 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Maxwell
