Credit Checks for EmploymentRecently, I was called for a job I interviewed for over the phone. The hiring manager told me that I was just what he wanted and that I would be getting a call soon to fly to Georgia for a face to face interview. What I got was a call from an HR guy asking me to fill out a the forms for a credit check. I was asking why a credit check for an IT job and why before an offer. I did this and the HR guy called back a day or so later and asked me about some stuff on my report. Then he said if I paid these items, they would fly me in for an interview. I was blown away. All these major companies are going bankrupt and are getting bailed out by the government. The average person is struggling in this country with the bad economy and we are now getting turned away from jobs? This company is huge that did this to me. They are TSYS out of Columbus GA.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jimmy Orr

Equal VoiceOhio specialized license plates offer ProLife (anti-choice) but they do not offer Pro Choice. Why should purchasing license plates for my personal vehicle be limited to slogons and themes of the GOP without equal options for left wing Americans -- and women in our state.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Carol

Withhold Congress' and Senates pay for not doing their jobs!We the people elected the Congress and the Senate to do our business. Yet Congress will not address the Presidents plans to put people back to work. Now the Senate Minority leader wants to postpone business until after the election. The last three years we have paid these representatives a large salary plus benefits and we are made to suffer while they play POLITICS. Every 4 years we go to the polls to elect a group of leaders to do our business and I want to hold them accountable for the money we are paying them.86 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Charles Bright

PLEASE HELP PROTECT OUR CHILDREN FROM PREDITORS.Petitioning for tougher and faster punishments for child molesters with clear physical and DNA evidence would deter a lot these criminals. If they know their trials would faster with much stiffer penalties it could save many more children over time for being prayed upon.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Teasua Wakefield

Stop Outsourcing HCC JobsThe Portage County Board will be voting on July 17 on whether or not to outsource the housekeeping jobs at the Health Care Center. This will cost 7 jobs that pay living wages and affordable benefits, it may negatively affect the residents at the HCC, the employees, and it will take money out of the local economy. Replacing jobs that pay living wages with affordable benefits with low-paying jobs with few benefits harms the local economy. We are asking the County Board to stop the contracting out of these positions.180 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Collene Ottum

12 year term limit for Supreme Court JusticesHaving a radical in any Government position is objectionable, but having one who's position is protected for life, or as long as THEY choose, is damaging to the country. If there is not going to be a process for removal of activists judges, at least there should be a 12 year term limit with the option of a review (reconfirmation) for additional periods of four years. America should not be stuck with an activist judge who shows up at political rallies and is invited to dinners by parties in upcoming cases. There needs to be remedies and consequences, and at the lease term limits and review.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Eric Newlon

BofA & Fannie Mae: Give Lilly back the Title to her home!Lilly Washington returned home from visiting her injured son in a Military Hospital in Germany, to find that despite written confirmation from Bank of America that they would suspend their proceedings until she returned home, the bank illegally sold her home to Fannie Mae in a trustee's sale, who then changed the locks, and sent all of her belongings, including her son’s Purple Heart medal from his service in Iraq, to the city dump. Despite this crushing setback, Lilly refused to give up. She moved back in and won a stay of eviction that granted the right to legally stay in her home as a renter. Now Lilly is fighting to recover ownership of her home and demand justice from Bank of America and Fannie Mae. And she needs your help.90 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nish Suvarnakar

Banning FireworksIt's one of the worst fire seasons Utah is facing. Even though the 4th of July has passed, the Days of 47 are upon us. Thousands of acres burned, houses burned and thousands of people have had to evacuated. How much of our state do we have to watch burn before seeing a "ban" on fireworks. The Governor has currently issued a ban on Utah state lands. This does not go far enough. We should not be using any personal fireworks anywhere in Utah, period. On June 14, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper issued an executive order that banned the private use of fireworks statewide because of very dry conditions and high fire danger.7,357 of 8,000 SignaturesCreated by Tom Mills

Supreme Court Justice Scalia Must ResignJustices of the United States Supreme Court are supposed to do their best to be Non-Political. As the senior member of the Court, Justice Antonin Scalia should know that. However, in Arizona v. United States (2012), Scalia's dissent heavily criticized the Executive Branch, specifically singling out the Office of the President, in an obviously political statement. We are demanding that he resign.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by b brian tupaz
