Monitor traffic and lower speed on Great Seneca HighwayThere have been several traffic deaths on Great Seneca Highway in Gaithersburg between Muddy Branch Road and Longdraft Road in the last couple of months. I believe that speed cameras are necessary as well as patrol cars, in addition to a traffic light at High Gables Drive (with a left turn arrow) and a left turn arrow added to the light at Kentlands Blvd.133 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Leslie Stewart

Stop voter suppression in OhioPeople across the United States and in Ohio can barely believe that Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted is considering even more restrictive voter ID rules by reducing the types of IDs accepted at polls. It is happening, and we demand that Husted stop trying to suppress the vote in Ohio by these and other practices.5,278 of 6,000 SignaturesCreated by Gary Atkins

Remove David Gregory as host of Meet the PressDavid Gregory has violated journalistic ethics by being the "keynote speaker" at a conference for a major Republican Advocacy group, the NFIB, on May 15, 2012. NBC claims he did not violate their rules. However, the Society of Professional Journalists’ Code of Ethics states: Journalists should: — Avoid conflicts of interest, real or perceived. — Remain free of associations and activities that may compromise integrity or damage credibility. — Refuse gifts, favors, fees, free travel and special treatment, and shun secondary employment, political involvement, public office and service in community organizations if they compromise journalistic integrity. In addition, as moderator of Meet the Press, he shows his bias in favor of Republican politicians.10,670 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Jim Billings

Evil torture and murder: An innocent Puppy set on fire for viewers on YouTubeI have been horrified, sick and heartbroken for days on end. There is still a video on YouTube by user Icecake27 depicting an innocent puppy screaming and on fire. The murderers show lighting a match....and laughing while that poor baby was horrified, in extreme confusion and unspeakable agony. I along with many others have flagged this video to no avail.

Violent or repulsive material 2. harmful or dangerous acts 3.hateful or abusive 4. an infringement of our rights The evil murder, torture, and sick crime is all of the above.

Please help me and us, to remove that sick video. Please.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by KimberLeeA Burge

Impeach Florida Governor Rick ScottA few months ago the Republican led congress voted to hold US Attorney General in contempt of congress for withholding information from Congress. http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/story/2012-06-20/holder-contempt-House-vote/55717644/1 When Attorney General, Democrat Thurbert Baker refused to make advances to block the Affordable Healthcare Act Georgia lawmakers attempted to have him impeached. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/25/georgia-attorney-general_n_512970.html Well on a number of occasions Governor Rick Scott has either not cooperated with the Federal government for the betterment of the people of his state or down right refused to comply with Federal legislation. Some of his actions include: Vowing to fight all the stimulus money (although he later used some or all of it). http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/political-animal/2011_06/scott_learns_to_stop_worrying030033.php Rejecting Federal Funds for a High-Speed Rail Line that could have brought thousands of new jobs to Floridians. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/17/us/17rail.html?_r=0 Refusing to comply with the Affordable Healthcare Act and turning down millions of dollars in federal grants to create a state-run "exchange" to help consumers compare insurance plans and prices. http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2012-09-23/news/fl-health-care-presidential-issues-20120918_1_health-care-affordable-care-act-new-law And now he is trying to illegally infringe upon, tamper with or block the legal rights of voters in his state. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ryan-campbell/voter-suppression-in-florida_b_1840793.html1,534 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by None

Truth in AdvertisingEmpower the Federal Communications Commission [FCC] to enforce truth in political advertising. The FCC must set severe monetary penalties for any politician, PAC or Super PAC making false statements, lies, or half-truths in ads. Fines are to be levied against broadcasters that fail their due diligence to fact check ads before being aired on radio and television.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Richard Donin

Stop Monsanto and the Non-labeling of GMO products!GMO foods have slowly been intergrated into our everyday food sources, leaving the public completely unaware. Now, there is a movement to push them more directly into our stores WITHOUT labeling! GMOs are one of the leading causes, if not the main cause of most major diseases and disorders affecting children and adults worldwide. Autism, ADD/ADHD, Neurological disorders and birth defects are just a few of the disorders directly associated with GMOs. Recently, Wal-Mart has agreed to put non-labeled GMO corn in their stores to sell directly to the consumer, creating yet another long list of problems. They are refusing to make the consumer aware of exactly what it is they are purchasing and consuming. Monsanto, the producer of these GMO seeds and other toxic chemicals being used to spray our foods refuses to accept any accountability. Monsanto Director of Corporate Communications Phil Angel said, ”Monsanto should not have to vouch for the safety of biotech food. Our interest is in selling as much of it as possible. Assuring its safety is the FDA’s job." (According to a report from the New York Times) GMOs are not only destroying those that plant it and those that consume it, but they are also destroying the land and animals. Many states are rallying against this non-labeling, but in order to have true success, we all must band together and stop this mass murder through food and take back our power from Monsanto and other big corporations in making decisions for us.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Na'avah Rich

A Graduated Capitol Gains Tax RateWhen millionairs and billionairs pay a smaller tax rate than orinary Americans, something is wrong! We have a graduated tax rate for income, why not for capitol gains? We ought to tax the first $1000 or $2000 or $5000 in capitol gains at 0% and have it rise to 35% quickly. Warren Buffet supports this idea, me thinks.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael Frank
