• Stop Government Hijacking
    Publicly elected representatives (such as congress) should be prohibited from signing declarations pledging allegience to positions crafted by individuals such as Grover Norquist. He is among other things known for the "Taxpayer Protection Pledge", which was signed by 95% of all Republican Congressmen and all but one of the 2012 Republican presidential candidates, to oppose increases in marginal income tax rates for individuals and businesses.

  • Stop Subsidizing Inefficiency
    We'd like to use efficient modes of transportation, like walking, bicycles, and transit, but there are too many cars in the way. Every level of government subsidizes the least efficient mode of transportation, the individual automobile, by spending our taxes on more pavement and requiring designs to accommodate petroleum burners.

  • Bullying in the workplace
    Bullying doesn't just happen with kids, it can happen to adults, as well,especially in the workforce. All too often managers are getting away with bullying or harrassing their employees. Many States have laws or are trying to make laws banning this type of behavior. We need this behavior stopped in all 50 states, making bullying and harrassing employees illegal with consequences for the bullies.

  • Don't Make Cuts to Food Stamps
    The U.S. House passed a bill to cut food stamps (SNAP) by 144 billion over the next 10 years and make it into a block grant. The Senate is working on the SNAP legislation and asking for a cut of 4 billion. Sixty percent of food stamps feeds children and twenty percent goes to the elderly. Cutting any from food stamps in relation to the federal budget is like asking your child to give up his allowance to help with the mortage.

  • Restore Bankruptcy Protections To Private Student Loans
    In 2005, Congress removed bankruptcy protections from private student loans, making private student debt one of two types of debt not dischargeable in bankruptcy. This decision was made after intense and well-funded lobbying by corrupt corporations who had no qualms about creating a permanently debt-enslaved working class with no legal rights or recourse. Education shouldn't lead to penury, and the corporations which are happy to profit off of the misery of millions of Americans shouldn't have the right to do so because their money buys them the Congressional access to make it happen.

  • Tell Congress: Support Children's Health Issues
    My petition is about children's health issues. With politicians threatening to scrap Obamacare, I have a child who is now wearing braces to help him walk. We need to tell politicians in Washington to not ignore even the youngest person in the fight to keep Obamacare. If it weren't for that, I would have lost my 18 month old son to health problems. I don't want to lose my only son and only child. I love him too much. It breaks my heart to see him that way.

  • Stop Gov. Rick Scott's Attack on Florida Voters
    Florida's Governor Rick Scott continues to wage a war on Florida voters. Not only has he cut the early voting days in half including the very popular Sunday before election day, but now he also is purging the voting rolls. This week, voter advocacy groups sued Florida, claiming that the purge disproportionately targets Latino voters. The majority of voters on the list are Latino while they comprise less than 14% of the state's total population, according to Tampa Bay Times.
