Support the Bring Jobs Home ActArkansas Senators Mark Pryor and John Boozman have a chance to support the Bring Jobs Home Act (S. 2884), which would eliminate the tax incentives that outsourcing companies get when they ship jobs overseas and reward companies that bring jobs back.804 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Danielle Housenick

Keep Methadone Clinics out of Residential NeighborhoodsWith 150 addicts visiting a Methadone Clinic every morning between 6:30 & 8:30 when children are walking to school, we are trying to convince the Mayor to find a site in another area. Not in a residential area withing 1/4 mile to an elementary school, a middle school and a high school. Spectrum Health, we've been told, can go anywhere they want, no matter the zoning, because they are an "educational facility" and don't have to abide by the zoning laws the rest of the citizens of Pittsfield have to follow. 8 parking places for a building with 2 apartments and 2 offices would not be allowed for anyone else. Children play all around the designated building and they should not be exposed to this. We need to keep our children and neighbors safe. Please help by signing this petition.53 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Debbie Dwyer

Campaign finance amendmentTired of the disproportionate voice of wealthy secret corporate and individual campagin donors? What about the flood of advertizements and robo calls during election season? The Supreme Court has opened a Pandora’s Box of foreign and domestic corporate money attempting to disproportionately influence the political discourse in this country. This allows corporate CEOs to bypass the donation limits set on average citizens during election season.59 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kent Krach

Keep Our News Networks HonestToo many of our television media outlets seem reluctant to share all the news with their viewers. The truths being spun by some networks and ignored by others, create a vacuum that gets filled by propaganda and innuendo instead of facts and reality. We need the truth, especially in a crucial election year. If a candidate is lying, we need to know. If Congress is playing nothing but politics, we also need to know!3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sandra Zylberman

Student Loan BankruptcyAllowing bankruptcy on private student loans again would be a huge boost to the economy. Most of todays students are over their heads in student loan debt. The fact the cost of college has continued to raise at an all time high, while the amount businesses are paying you to work is lower than that of the of the 80's based on growth, is actually turning kids away from college.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Louis Brems

Romney leads Obama among Veterans.Considering Romney ducked out with a deferment during the Viet Nam War to spend 2 years in Paris recruiting for his Mormon Church how the hell can he gain support among us Veterans? Not many people are aware of this - those who are often comment that Obama wasn't in the service but fail to realize he wasn't of age during the Viet Nam Conflict. You may hear that Romney had an obligation to his Church but shouldn't your obligation to America takes precedence..13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Larry Polsky

Go Metric, America!The whole world uses the metric system of measurement, except for the US, Burma, and Liberia. The time has come for the America to go metric, too. It would save time and money if we taught only the metric system in our schools. It would also eliminate confusion for our children, in having to learn 2 systems of measurement, when just the metric system would suffice.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mattis, Linda

Take Back the BanksIt is about nationalizing the banks as they have for too long abused their privilege of enjoying Fractional Reserve Banking System. It is about regaining our sovereignty as the American People in an ever expanding Global Economy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx5Sc3vWefE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rC720Cl3N-01 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Roland Shield

Keep families together!With the current immigration laws, when a citizen marries an undocumented immigrant, the citizen must file a petition for residency on behalf of the immigrant. At the point of interviewing with the immigration official it is likely that the immigrant will have a ten year ban from the country placed on them, separating the couple for many years unless the citizen can prove a hardship without the spouse. I am personally capable of taking care of myself and my children alone, and I do not have a debilitating illness, but because I cannot take my children out of the country to live, as their father is American, I am forced to choose between my children or my husband. I married him because I love him, not because I needed him financially, but now I may lose my husband because when people are forced to be apart for years the relationship can die. It would be financially impossible for me to visit more than once a year.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lisa Perez
