Bringing jobs back to AmericaWhat seems to have been lost in all of the rhetoric is the belief that we can isolate an issue and simply vote on it. Most issues involving the economy, energy, environment, government, and jobs are interrelated. We can solve this in a way that benefits mankind and the country by mandating this one thing.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Doelman

Demand that Paul Ryan debate his congressional challenger, Rob Zerban.As a constituent of Paul Ryan's I am appalled that he won't even respond to debate requests. Congressman Ryan and his Democratic congressional challenger Rob Zerban present drastically different visions for the future of the country and we deserve the opportunity to hear our candidates debate. Will you stand with me and Wisconsin's 1st Congressional District and demand that Paul Ryan comes back and debates Rob Zerban?931 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Patricia P.

Common CauseFair Elections Now! Instead of focusing on their constituents and the important issues of the day, elected officials in Washington spend too much time raising money from wealthy donors and lobbyists – often from the very industries they’re supposed to oversee! It’s time to get our leaders out of the fundraising game and let them do the jobs we’ve elected them to do. The best way to do that is to pass the Fair Elections Now Act. Under such a system, qualified candidates who take no contributions larger than $100 can run for Congress on a blend of small donations and public funds. This bill already has more than 150 cosponsors. If your Representative is one of them, please thank him or her. If your Representative has not yet signed on as a cosponsor, please ask him or her to do so right away! (When you enter your address below, our system will look up the name of your Representative and his/her co-sponsor status.) Take action today!5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Frank Krzyzowski

Since then some very hateful people have suggested boycotting Big Apple Pizza and some have even written negative comments about his business on Yelp simply due to his hugging the President. Please show your support for Big Apple Pizza by signing this petiton, ordering his pizza (buycott instead of boycott), and/or writing words of support on Yelp or other business rating sites.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lee Frank

CORPORATIONS ARE NOT PERSONSIn 2008, The Supreme Court decided that corporations can use their money to buy political speech during peak campaign seasons. As a result, independent corporate political speech is now protected under the First Amendment. According to the Supreme Court, money becomes speech when corporations use money to speak. This makes corporations entitled to First Amendment free speech protection. Now, according to the Supreme Court, money is speech which makes corporations persons. This tortured and butchered logic underpinned the High Courts ruling in the Citizens United case. Citizens United wanted to use corporate money to air a film critical of Hillary Clinton which would have violated The McCain–Feingold campaign finance reform Act. The Supreme Court overturned the law on First Amendment grounds. The law previously prohibited "electioneering communication" by corporations.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Fred Lundgren
