• Kangaroo Express: Support Tobacco Farm Workers
    The situation for tobacco farm workers in North Carolina is dire. Many farm workers often live in labor camps with deplorable conditions, suffer from nicotine poisoning and exposure to dangerous pesticides, and work long hours for below poverty wages. Workers aren’t taking this sitting down though. They are organizing to improve working conditions and demand respect on the job even in the face of threats and firings. Sign our petition to call on Kangaroo Express COB Edwin Holman to visit the fields in North Carolina, talk to farm workers and support their fight for a voice on the job to improve working conditions.

  • Explain the Republican Platform
    In attempts to run from their own party's stated agenda, Romney and Ryan are pretending that it really doesn't matter what that platform says. I want them to walk through each plank in the republican platform and identify whether they support or don't support it and why. (And if it's there and they DON'T support it, why is it there?) That is the least the American people deserve.

  • End the 2 party system
    We are tired of having to choose the lesser of 2 evils. Every party should have equal grounds for presidency. Let's have all candidates on the stage and let the people vote indiscrimintly.

  • Texans for a Healthier Texas
    This petition asks Govenor Perry to stop playing politics with the lives of Texans by rejecting millions of dollars from President Obama's Patient Bill of Rights. By accepting the Patient Bill of Rights, Texas, the number one state in the nation for providing poor healthcare to it's citizens, would provide millions of citizens with healthcare and also create more jobs in doing so.

    Tired of seeing cigarettes litter our world? Wondering if anything can be done to curb teen smoking. The Butt Return Program will require that 20 butts be returned to the retailer to purchase another package. Butts short of 20 butts will have a charge of $2/per cigarette as a deposit. Deposits will not be refundable.

  • Timeoff/sicktime without pay, bad for contractors
    It's about contractors workers who are not paid public holidays/sicktime and vacation. Yes it has affected me in the sense I did not make enough in 1 week to survive. Just because I did not work for 1 and a half day.

  • Congress stop blocking president Obama
    Congress needs to set aside their racist behavior and start working with President Obama to get their jobs done and take care of the people who elected them. Start working together now, not when and if it's an advantage to your party affiliation.

  • Stop SFMTA (San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency)
    Update on SFMTA activities! Our first two requests were met some time ago. At this point, SFMTA has painted itself into such a tight corner by destroying too much and angering too many citizens. There are too many complaints for the Board of Supervisors to ignore. The voters denied the SFMTA any additional sales tax funds that will cut hundreds of thousands of dollars out of their budget. Now they plan to raise the bridge tolls and charge the cash-paying riders more money to take the Muni. The next ballot initiative to consider is PROPOSITION 6 that would repeal the gas bill.
