Save the Post OfficeWhy not sell advertising on postage stamps, save the USPS, and keep the stamp rates from going up, up, up. I would just as soon look at the new cars or a soda can as a dead celebrity or a yellow bird.34 of 100 SignaturesCreated by ellie lingner

Hey there, Mr. Senator!We've recently heard from folks in South Dakota who are outraged that Senator John Thune voted to block a billion-dollar veteran jobs program and want him to explain why he abandoned our veterans despite their high rate of unemployment and homelessness. It sounds like MoveOn members would be interested in signi10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by dafda dfada

END THE AFGHANISTAN WAR NOWEND THE AFGHANISTAN WAR NOW. Protect our brave men and women from senseless death and wounds while proudly serving our country. There is no feel good patriotic win for the Afghanistan war. US fatalities: 2125. Coalition fatalities: 3190 as of 2012. Wounded data based on monthy reports from the Department of Defence: 10,369 as of February 2012 - iCasualties.org “This is the longest war in the history of the United States of America. The Afghani government is mostly corrupt. War in Afghanistan has tested the resolve, capabilities, and strength of the allied military forces. Moreover, our efforts at nation building have largely failed.” Congressman Jason Chaffetz, UT “After nearly 10 years of fighting, the progress in Afghanistan has been diminutive and alienated the peoples of Afghanistan. This failed strategy is not worth one more drop of American blood. I believe that if we are going to leave, we should leave; otherwise we are doing a great disservice to those soldiers who continue to fight and American families at home who will continue to suffer the loss of their loved ones. Furthermore, The current centralized government system and the regime of Hamid Karzai is hopelessly corrupt and not representative of the Afghan peoples.” Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, CA February 2012, I sent a letter to the President, signed by 87 bipartisan Members of Congress to accelerate the withdrawl of our troops from Afghanistan by the end of next year. "I believe it’s time to end this war and bring our brave servicemembers home." Congresswoman Lois Capps, CA "I can't find a whole lot right about what's happening in Afghanistan," Congressman Bill Young, FL “Our soldiers and their families shouldn't be the only ones sacrificing for these efforts, and that's a large part of why I will continue to push for the immediate return of our troops.” Congressman Chris Murphy, CT “Through fiscal year 2012, the United States has spent more than $549.5 billion, and the war effort will cost another $88 billion in fiscal year 2012.” A better solution is available — "to get our troops the hell out of there. The real solution, is staring us in the face." Congressman James P Moran, VA “At a time when we have so many of our own infrastructure needs and budgetary challenges here at home, we cannot afford to be in the business of nation-building in places like Afghanistan. “ Congressman John Carney, DE American soldiers are dying in Afghanistan on average 31 a month or one per day. Our brave men and women are not disposable commodities. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Help us get them all home – Alive would be best – the sooner the better!

Dump the Dump! Tell IPL to Close the Harding Street PlantIndianapolis Power & Light, wants to keep this dirty and deadly coal plant operating for decades into the future. Worse yet, it wants my friends and family to contribute hundreds of millions of dollars in upgrades the plant needs to continue operating. Indianapolis Power & Light is expected to make a decision about the Harding Street plant soon. Let's make sure the company knows that Central Indiana residents don't want to pay more for electricity to extend the life of this dirty coal plant, which spews air pollution right into downtown Indianapolis. According to their own website, Indiana Power & Light calls itself "an industry leader in environmental stewardship;" and their website displays intentions of going green. But pollution from its Harding Street coal plant is not green. The clean air task force has estimated the pollution to cause 76 premature deaths, 120 heart attacks and 1,300 asthma attacks each year in Central Indiana. The EPA's Coal Waste Data sheet reports that the Harding Street Station now has two hazard ponds. According to the National Inventory of Dams (NID) criteria, “high” hazard coal ash ponds are categorized as such because their failure will likely cause loss of human life. "And if Indiana Power & Light moves forward with the costly plant upgrades it is considering, Indianapolis and surrounding areas we will be stuck with this dirty air pollution for decades." We can't allow that to happen."5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kevin Faulkner

BRING OUR TROOPS HOME AND HAVE ALL FOREIGN TROOPS IN THE U.S. OUT BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.There is no reason at all to be fighting in Afghanistan or elsewhere for that matter, and it is time to bring all our troops home - NOW. It will not happen without the wholehearted support off the people and the threat of impeachment. Also there are thousands of Foreign troops in the U.S. ready carry orders like gun confiscation, expressing views not in line with present mandates of the government. These troops have no qualms shooting us expressing ioinions.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by don ferrari

EQUAL TAXATION FOR EQUAL RIGHTSWhy is it that gay Americans are required to pay taxes in the same way heterosexual Americans do -- when they are not afforded the same civil rights? Either allow homosexuals to marry under the same protections as heterosexuals, or give them a tax break because they don't receive the full benefits of their American citizenship.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Pamela Valentine

Vets need more substance than symbolismAll over Wyoming we see public support for our troops overseas, but just because their tours of duty might end doesn't mean that the debt owed them by their country ends with them. Nonetheless, our troops are coming home to Wyoming and finding it even harder than non-vets to find jobs, housing and support. We can wave all the banners we want, paste all the bumper stickers we can find, but that doesn't put paychecks in veteran hands or roofs over veteran heads. Recently, Senator John Barrasso voted to block a billion-dollar veterans jobs program, and its time, we in Wyoming, did more to support our troops than bumper stickers and trite reposted pictures on Facebook. Sign the petition today and tell Sen. Barrasso to support our troops with deeds, not words.322 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Josh Kronberg

Boycott All Rupert Murdoch CompaniesThe Murdoch family should not be allowed to profit at the expense of a family's loss of a child. Any American citizen or any individual with a moral conscious should do everything possible to constantly remind those around them that Murdoch's British news tabloid, News International, willfully and shamelessly used illegally obtained voice mails of murdered teenager Milly Dowler and others for personal profit.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brian Jones
