• Congress:Ban Cellphone use while driving
    It has become obvious that talking and texting while driving has made the roads more dangerous for all of us. I have seen people driving with a cellphone in one hand and a cigarette in the other. How can they possibly maintain control of their car under these conditions. Please sign this petition and tell Congress to enact legislation that will help save thousands of lives every year.

  • Asylum for Assange
    Targeted by the American government for exposing its crimes, Julian Assange currently awaits the decision of the Ecuadorian government for his petition for asylum in that country. As can be imagined, Ecuador is under tremendous pressure to deny that petition and evict Assange from its London embassy where he has sought refuge.

  • Reduce all congressional pensions
    Currently Congress spends less time working that we who have full time jobs do. As of October 1, 2010, 443 retired Members of Congress were receiving federal pensions based fully or in part on their congressional service. Of this number, 262 had retired under CSRS and were receiving an average annual pension of $69,420. A total of 181 Members had retired with service under FERS and were receiving an average annual pension of $38,460 in 2010. This is higher than the national average. Since so many other state and local employees have has their pensions decreased due to high burden on the tax payers, I believe Congress should receive the same treatment.

  • Voters Rights is today's Civil Rights
    We should be making laws especially Voters Laws easier for the American People not harder. I think that everyone should show proof that they are of age & should be able to vote. The voting stations should take photos of everyone that votes and if there are any fraud, those folks should be severely punished with a huge fine and possibly jail time. I think there should be a law to keep lawmakers from making it harder for voters to vote, but instead make ways to broaden voters. Any lawmakers that changing Voters Laws should be responsible for providing ALL accommodations to ALL effected voters, IT SHOULDN'T BE THE PUBLIC RESPONSIBILITY TO BE ABLE TO VOTE , IT'S OUR RIGHT AND THE LAWMAKERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING IT WORK for ALL.

  • On a Path to Recovery
    Drilling in the Arctic; The Keystone XL pipeline; Fracking in NY and other precious pure areas...will destroy this country's ability to recover its former status as a world leader. The ongoing wars this country is engaged in have destroyed the middle class, reinforced the stronghold that the military-indutrial complex has on the power structure of this country. We must change the priorities to SURVIVE!!!
