Re-count The Wisconsin RecallWhereas there are noteworthy disparities between the Wisconsin Recall exit polls and the reported vote results, and Whereas there have been numerous questions resulting from electoral disputes since 2000, and Whereas the Wisconsin Recall elections have never been counted by humans, but only by optical scanners, and Whereas there have been numerous documented instances of counting errors by optical scanners which have subsequently changed election outcomes, and Whereas confidence in the accuracy, fairness and sanctity of the vote is essential for confidence in, and the survival of, our democracy, Therefore, we the undersigned demand that all the ballots from the Wisconsin Recall elections be counted by hand in order to validate the machine-counted tallies, and We further demand that the State of Wisconsin pay for this manual recount as part of its responsibility to ensure fair, honest and transparent election results.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael R.

Accept the Medicaid expansion in AlabamaMy son recently had to have an emergency appendectomy. He was in the hospital one night, and we received a bill for over $60,000! Fortunately I have health care, and the cost was negotiated down. But I have to ask myself, why am I being charged for all the people not paying or unable to afford health care for themselves?9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Eileen Dobbins

NC: Replace members of Committee on EnvironmentIt's about the fact that this Committee denounces science and environmentalists, denies the fact that the ocean is rising, wants only to support developers who will build everywhere on our coast without consideration of the damage this will do everywhere. I have seen the ocean in NJ take houses, throw refrigerators around, and destroy what developers have done. Not here, not in North Carolina, please!2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gay Cheney

We have contacted the retirement system regarding this issue however, they will not allow me to change the status of my beneficiary.

Don't Clinch Fracking in NC with Fractured Voting RuleFracking was forced into NC through a crack in a fractured House vote. Fracking is too important an issue to be rammed through the legislative process in this way. Stanford professor Mark Jacobson says we can be fossil-fuel free by 2030, with all energy needs met by wind, water and solar. Furthermore NC has strong wind and solar resources. http://www.stanford.edu/group/efmh/jacobson/Articles/I/sad1109Jaco5p.indd.pdf http://www.stanford.edu/group/efmh/winds/global_winds.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_sLt5gNAQs After the "fracking bill" (S820) passed, Gov Perdue vetoed it, and the House lacked support to override it. But by the time House Speaker Tillis opened the vote to override the veto near midnight July 2, at least one Rep had been "bought off," and then Rep. Carney pushed the wrong button. Within two minutes, S820 was set in stone, clinched by motion meant to drown out Carney‘s protests. NC alone gives members only 10 seconds to vote and almost no chance (if any) to correct a mistaken deciding vote. When such errors occur, whether the no-change rule is suspended or the vote is clinched depends largely on whom the Speaker recognizes. What happened in NC’s House on July 2 is flagrantly unfair and warrants a correction on S820 and a change in NC’s voting rules. Members should have an opportunity to check and confirm their votes before the machine is locked. A verification vote on close or contested results should be mandatory - no room for bias. Most important, the House should take time to gather and study updated and unbiased information about fracking and the potential of wind, water and solar before rushing through a bill like this one. FYI: NOES-- Holloway (Rockingham, Stokes Counties) and McGrady (Henderson County) are the two Republicans who voted with the Democrat minority to Sustain Perdue's VETO on July 2 (the day of Carney's mistaken vote) - In other words, They voted AGAINST FRACKING AYES ---K Alexander (Mecklenburg); Brisson (Bladen, Cumberland); Carney (Mecklenburg); S Hamilton (New Hanover); Hill (Brunswick, Columbus); R Moore (Mecklenburg) are the six Democrats who voted with a majority of Republicans to Override Perdue's VETO on July 2 (Carney saying hers was a mistake). In other words, They voted IN FAVOR of FRACKING.
