My petition it's about recognizing the contributions of that women have made towards the greatness of our country. each one of the women named had an integral part in reshaping our nation's treatment of both African American slaves and disenfranchised women. As a woman I owe of these women a debt of gratitude because I can vote. As an American I owe these women a debt of gratitude because they fought tirelessly and bravely, risking everything, to end the enslavement of people in this country thus allowing United States to join the rest of the civilized world in banning slavery forever.

Outsourcing of jobs and tax cuts for the wealthiest individuals,along with loopholes that are designed to help only millionaires and corporations with huge profits profoundly hurts middle class families .If someone wants to hold the most powerful office in the country full disclosure of prior taxes should be demanded by the people.

I would like for the rule of law to be followed, sanctuary cities to be outlawed, and citizenship for children of illegal immigrants to be disallowed by a proper interpretation of the 14th Amendment.

Companies like Black Water and KBR and the new names that have now changed to are still responsible for wasting American Tax Dollars. We want our Taxes for war to go to Military only.

I would like to start a petition so that US residence will unite lower Gas Prices. It seems like the last time we did this gas prices went down by 10 cents or more.

In 2000 and 2004 The Florida Presidential elections were in the spotlight of the enitre nation. The pathetic pictures of election workers strugling to decipher the chads,etc.was pathetic and embarassing to the state of Florida. Now the 2012 election is upon us and I have no confidence in the Florida voting system whatsoever. With the recent attempts to "avoid voter fraud," I am futhere concerned that each vote must count. Please provide the voter with a physical copy of his completed ballot as he leaves the polling site, then if there has to be a recount the voter will be able to produce his copy to prove his choice without calling on "chad hunters." The cost of providing a copy should not enter into consideration in such an important issue. The Floridia debacle 2000 still resonates strongly here in Florida.

Over 200 thousand people each year die from adverse drug reactions but the cases are probably higher due to a lack of reporting. My daughter Julie developed Stevens-Johnson Syndrome at the age of 11 months old from a medication to treat pediatric epilepsy. We were not warned about side effects. After starting the medication she developed a high fever and blistering rash. Julie was misdiagnosed with chicken pox and continued on the offending drug. As a result she suffered blistering burns across her body and treated in a burn unit for 27 days. She is now blind in one eye and has low vision in the other, dry eye syndrome, photophobia and many other side effects, and she is one of the lucky ones. Many SJS patients do not survive. We were told it was a 1 in a million reaction and so rare we would never meet another SJS patient. Since 1994 we have heard from thousands of people from around the world that have suffered SJS and TEN (Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis) another form of SJS. It's not as rare as we were led to believe. SJS can be caused by over the counter children's ibuprofen! Something available to us at the grocery story and carries no warning of SJS! SJS is a severe adverse life threatening reaction to medication which causes patients to literally burn from the inside out! No one has an accurate count of SJS because there is NO mandatory reporting system required by medical professionals. Only a voluntary site for patients. A mandatory reporting system will enable the FDA to see which medications have a higher incidence of adverse reactions leading to labeling changes and safety for consumers. Please help us.

Mitt Romney wants Americans to cut tax's for the wealthy. He's asking us to pay more so, people like himself can pay less. Every one has been affected by the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest and, Middle Class is erroding at the expense of Congress.

My 15 year old daughter was killed in a car accident due to texting 2 1/2 yrs ago

Not personally affected, but this is one other sign of the way in which religious fundamentalists hinder knowledge and progress due to their own fears that their beliefs will be found faulting.

This petition is not technical in its description. It is simply a wish for our government to admit that we have a problem with the economic system. The usage of money is an effective way to manage barter and trade, however, since we have never been able to pay the debt created on top of the money supply since it has always exceeded the total amount of the money supply, the "industry" of banking produces nothing, no goods or food that can be used to sustain life on our planet. It is only a tool that favors the rich hugely in order to create imaginary profits which enable those people to also contribute nothing to society and is payed for by denegrating the poor into paying the highest interest rates when each dollar of theirs is more vital to the basic survival of themselves and their dependents. We, the people of the Unites States, have an obligation to change policies which hinder the prosperity of our country. Currently the banking industry has perpetuated the figurative slavery of all who are not in the top percentages of income. We rely on our government to create laws that prevent people or corporations from taking too much without providing adequate goods or services to earn their wealth. Since money and banking are such critically important factors in our economy, the "industry" of banking should be run by the state, since it is a clear conflict of interest to have a business responsible for ensuring the safety of our money while also having an obligation to shareholders to produce profit at any cost. Since they do not actually create goods or services, there is no loss of anything contributing to the standard of life for us. This would also help to alleviate tax fraud since the records would largely be readily available to the Treasury. Honest Americans should have no reason to hide this information and should not fear that it will be spent unwisely, such as the bailout which was paid for by taxpayers to earn the priveldge to continue to be taxed by interest we couldn't afford in the first place. Since the U.S. made the money, it should earn the interest generated through loans, which will ultimately be paid back into public works. When the rich are left to "trickle down", that is not guaranteed, ever, & generally one does not become rich by giving money away. Before we reach the brick wall of oil depletion, we need to take the power back from the corporations and give it back to the government, which represents the American people. Any outsourcing of American jobs needs to be accounted for and the opportunity cost to the people and communities from the loss of jobs, environmental damages in transporting goods across the world that could be produced domestically should be taxed accordingly to close this mammoth loophole to maximize profit over the country's stability, & is reaching critical points of economic disparity where many people are out at risk of being homeless, starving with no opportunity to correct the problem realistically. It is largely the biggest threat to our nation than all of crime, extremists, and disease put together, & many of those problems are in fact secondary problems caused by the current economic problem that I am humbly begging for you to truly change the world, to oppose the holders of power (money) from continuing this is dangerous, but they can keep the wealth they have now, but once it runs out they should have to produce goods or services to earn future wealth without cheating the environment and people to make huge profits for the top while people can barely afford the basics or not afford them at all. This is not a request for socialism, or communism, just a check to keep the levels of profits to those who create, not rest on their laurels.
