Reverse Citizens United: "Corporations are People"We need a Consitutional Amendment that "people are people" and corporations are not to be treated as people for the purposes of contributing vast monetary political reservea and influence into the election process. The amendment needs to define the boundaries for corporate influence in U.S.'s polotical process, especially flowing unlimited money into their causes. This threatens our very democratic system to become a "corporatacracy".3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Willard Roase

Tommy Thompson: Personal attacks have no place in politicsOn Wednesday, Sept. 5, Tommy Thompson's US Senate campaign sent an email to members of the media attempting to question Tammy Baldwin's "heartland values," launching a personal attack on Tammy Baldwin for her sexual orientation. Thompson's campaign is attacking Baldwin on the basis of her personal life. This is not the Wisconsin way. Thompson cannot remain silent another day. It's time for Thompson to take responsibility for his campaign and the divisive, personal attacks they’re pushing.11,054 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Lisa Mux

REPEAL THE TeleCommAct Of 1996.This petition is about balance in the media which is largely owned by the one percent. The TeleCommAct was a job killer by consolidating broadcast facilities under single ownership as a monopoly directly opposing The Radio Act of 1934 which stated that one could not own more than 7 AM, 7 FM, 7 TV (of which at least two of those signals HAD to be UHF, not ALL exclusively VHF), & 7 newspapers throughout the USA. Now, under this Act, ownership is NOW A WHOPPING 8 SIGNALS PER MARKET ALLOWING FOR A BLANKETING OF A CORPORATION'S DOMINANCE AND INFLUENCE in the supposed Free Market Space, WITHOUT REGARD TO OPPOSING POINTS OF VIEW. COMPANIES LIKE COX AND CLEAR CHANNEL OWN THOUSANDS OF STATIONS NOW. RUPERT MURDOCH, A NON-AMERICAN OWNS NEARLY HALF OF ALL THE TELEVISION SIGNALS IN THIS COUNTRY, PLUS HIS CABLE ASSETS LIKE FOX NEWS. We are also in GREAT DANGER because THE [E.B.S.] EMERGENCY BROADCAST SYSTEM WAS ALSO ABOLISHED as well as BROADCASTERS' RESPONSIBILITY TO ACCURATELY REPORT THE NEWS EVERY HOUR ON THE HALF HOUR. WHAT ARE WE TO DO IN THE EVENT OF AN ACTUAL EMERGENCY SUCH AS HURRICANES, BEING ATTACKED BY TERRORISTS OR SOME OTHER NATURAL DISASTER LIKE A BIG OUT OF CONTROL WILDFIRE?? How are we to be informed so we can reach safety when all commercial stations are churning out mindless programming without a live operator on the job??5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by BOOMer Yyz

Congress: Penalize Airlines For Delayed FlightsI missed my brother's graduation because of a 17-hour flight delay, due to maintenance. They wouldn't even put people up in hotels. I know so many people who have spent nights in airports and on planes due to overbooking or late flights. People missing weddings, funerals, important meetings. The money that is lost due to thousands of people sitting around in airports waiting for their delayed flights has got to be astronomical, and it has a negative effect on the economy. The airlines keep doing it because they can. They have a monopoly. Without a government-imposed penalty system, this will never stop.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Benjamin M Farber

Save Thorndale Avenue in Stow, OH from Marhofer dealershipMarhofer car dealership purchased one near century old home on Thorndale, is under contract to purchase two others to demolish, along with acres of 100 year old trees in order to store vehicle inventory. This will create hardship for remaining residents as it will negatively affect the value of our homes and quality of life. If city council approves the rezoning of these residential homes, it will set a dangerous precedent in our city.153 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Carol Tymchenko

TreasonMcConnell, Boehner, and Cantor signed the Norquest pledge to never raise taxes and as a congressman or senator, it is their oath that America is first, never a pledge. Mitch McConnell explained that "the single most important thing he wanted to achieve was for President Obama to be a one-term president," the most important thing is the improvement of the United States of America that is in a depression, not to make the president a one term president. Obstructionism, they were for projects and after the president is for them they are against them if it will in any way benefit the presidents rating even if it would have benefited the United States of America. The actions from these three members for signing the Norquest pledge and obstructionism must be brought to light so that no members of congress or senate ever put pledges or obstructionism before their oath they took for their office.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bill Anderson

Revisit The Right to Prayer in SchoolsA recent statistical analysis by David Barton graphically illustrates how America has plummeted from righteous living, prosperity and success in the last quarter century The removal of prayer from our schools was a violation of the third commandment which commands us “not to take the name of the Lord in vain.” By the judicial act of forbidding invocation, the Court audaciously elevated a secularized system of education beyond the authority, reach and blessing of God Himself. Worse than taking the Lord’s sacred name in vain is treating it with contempt, denying it rightful place and stripping it from public use and even from the lips of children. Jesus’ own expressed desire, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them” was also violated by these judges, many of whom were raised in Christian homes.When they voted out the right to pray in School I was too young to vote I would love to see us as a nation get back to prayer in School I recently read a comment or a blog or just a article and it explained how the question was asked of God why is there killing and molestation in School. On top of that why are Kids not being taught properly and Gods answer is Im not allowed in School we stood by as a nation and allowed back in the Sixties a group of people who claimed they were offended by Prayer in Schools.Banned together started a pettition to take the most important part of lives our creator out of out Children's lives so I'm challenging and inviting every one who knows in there hearts to sign this petition and I know as sure as they knew , that the Lord God Almighty will turn this nation around if we turn back to him Be Bless My Beloved Brothers and Sisters33 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Woodie Johnson

Student Loan forgiveness in bankruptcyIn Bankruptcy, all debts are forgiven, for individuals and corporations, if one meets the criteria. Not student loans however. This is recent, as congress passed punitive legislation in the 1990's. Prior to this, student loans were forgiven during bankruptcy. Particularly in this unforgiving hiring climate, students have a lifelong debt to repay, regardless of life conditions.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joan van Velsor
