Grover Norquist is pressuring politicians to sign a no tax pledge against the interest of everyday people. Taxes pay for things like roads, schools, local infrastructure, police officers and fire fighters, everything that everyday hard working families have come to rely and depend on. A no tax pledge would hurt working families because it would starve the government of badly needed funding and force budget cuts to all the services the vast majority of West Virginians use everyday.

We've recently heard from folks in South Carolina who want all candidates for Congress in the state to refuse to sign the Grover Norquist no-tax pledge. All but a handful of Republicans in Congress have signed the pledge the pledge, making it impossible to get anything done and driving us towards a fiscal cliff.

The 2012 campaigns for the Presidency has been seriously marred by a number of serious lies by the candidates and their campaigns. The American people deserve an honest campaign. This petition calls on the candidates to agree to an honest campaign by supporting and complying with the decisions of a fact checker panel about the ads and remarks of the respective candidates for the Presidency, the Vice-Presidency and their campaigns.

Obamacare makes it possible for working people who do not have employer-provided health care to acquire affordable health insurance. Each of us knows someone who is struggling with this devastating problem. Governor Rick Scott continues to block available federal funding for working Floridians without insurance. It is up to us to stop Scott from stopping health care for those who need it most.

All citizens of our state form our human social family; therefore no person should be made into a commodity for monetary profit. As a concerned citizen, I urge persons to join in this patriotic effort to end the continued practice of building private prisons for profit by signing this petition.

Like life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, health care is a right. People should not be punished financially for getting sick.

Signing this pledge will hurt our state as the state will lack the funds to maintain existing roads, bridges, and other necessities derived from taxes.

Texas ranks dead last in health insurance coverage for working Texans. It is shameful to block funds made available by the United States Affordable Care Act.

Thanks to legislation passed by anti-choice lawmakers and supported by Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, Virginia is implementing burdensome and medically unnecessary Targeted Regulations of Abortion Providers (TRAP). The Virginia Board of Health took a courageous stand to amend the regulations to allow women's health clinics to remain open. Ken Cuccinelli is trying to veto the Board of Health and shut down women's health clinics, limiting the continued availability of safe, legal, first-trimester abortion throughout the state. Virginia's women's health centers provide vital health care services like STD screenings, cancer screenings and family planning services, in addition to providing legal and safe abortions. Shutting down these clinics would restrict access to essential services, particularly for young, low-income, uninsured, and minority women. Tell the Board of Health to stand up to Ken Cuccinelli's bullying and protect women's health centers and women's access to comprehensive health care services.

Our goverment is out of control because elected officials no longer consider the people of the United States as there employer. They now work for a convoluted web of special interest groups raising money for a never ending congressional career. If Congressmen could only stand for re-election twice - it would be very hard to create a web of power to funnel cash. If we reduced campaign donations to no more than $100 per individual with no room for corporate donations, elections would be about the issues instead of name calling and political skullduggery.

We have been hurt by giving our son our Retirement Fund, we are an example of middle class going poor.What is the Goverment thinks...

Begin to have some "truth in politics" by requiring candidates to have factual basis for their statements, or personally admit they were inaccurate. The public is bombarded with false and misleading political advertisements every election cycle. The 2012 election year will be rife with lies given the influx of Super PAC money. While it would be optimal to rein in all false/misleading advertisements made directly, or indirectly, by a presidential candidate, the first step is requiring candidates to ensure statements they make during debates are factual. Additionally, forcing candidates to recant their false/misleading statements live, in their own words, provides great incentive to ensure their statements are factual when initially spoken.
