I am now aware of the fact that many campaine donations come from outside the United States. Donators have influence over the candidate they support and there fore should not be able to influence our government. No wonder companies allowed unless they are tax payers. Rather individual, business or conglomerate only those within the US should be have offices outside of the US. If those companies could not contribute to campaines they would have a reason to have their offices inside the US and pay their taxes here.

MEDIcare and SSI costs,

this petition is about making people in government accountable to the people who elect them.

In the health care field, it is common practice for workers to have to pass drug tests, criminal background tests, and get DCFS clearance. However, in the past several years, many companies, including most major hospitals, have added credit checks to the application process. This forces many otherwise qualified candidates out of their chosen field, and into working for less wages with fewer or no benefits. This practice needs to end now. Making gainful employment only accessible if one can pass a credit check is only helping to force individuals and families into poverty. Please sign my petition to make our state and national leaders aware of this policy.

We need to start giving our children "real" food in schools. Studies have shown that the more children eat processed and sugary foods and beverages the more likely they are to become obese, diseased and have violent tendencies. If we all got together and spoke with local farmers and growers we could easily be able to give our children real nutrition. We must change policies to make it easier to accomplish this. I am not a mother but I am witnessing what these deplorable disease causing foods are doing to my siblings children. I am also a Holistic Nutritionist and know how harmful these foods that are being offered to our children are.

We, the United States of America, waste too much time and money on campaigning, especially the presidential campaign. This year's presidential campaign is projected at $1 billion - that's ridiculous!!! Can't we find something better to do with $1 billion??? I believe the presidential campaign should be limited to 3 nationally televised debates and that is it. No mailings, continuous TV commercials, etc.

ALL of the facts are on our side. But we are about to lose the election to the lies told by the Republicans, Fox News, and other Conservatives!

The USA should stop using the term "Hispanic" and "Latino."

Women currently make $.77 for every $1.00 that a man earns. We need to provide more effective remedies to victims of discrimination in the payment of wages on the basis of sex, and for other purposes.

Bishop Robert W. Finn of the Missouri Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph was convicted of failing to report child abuse suspicions.

The residents of the Sierra Los Pinos subdivision and adjoining private areas would like to petition the board of the county commissioners of Sandoval County, NM, to ask for an order prohibiting the running at large of livestock within the limits of the Sierra Los Pinos and Vallecitos de los Indios area and to fence out the cattle roaming freely on private land beyond the permitees legal range boundaries in the National Forest.

The economic storms of recent years have raised concerns about growing inequality and questions about a core national faith, that even Americans of humble backgrounds have a good chance of getting ahead. Most of the discussion has focused on labor market forces like falling blue-collar wages and lavish Wall Street pay. But striking changes in family structure have also broadened income gaps and posed new barriers to upward mobility. If you or your children have been adversely affected in pursuing the American Dream, let your voice be heard in the election box and through this petition.
