The Obama administration is secretly negotiating a trade pact with Pacific Ocean trading partners, the "Trans Pacific Partnership" (TPP). The TTP pact will limit how US governments at all levels can regulate foreign firms in the USA, extend incentives for American firms to move abroad, allow foreign firms to sue the US government in international tribunals, and allow foreign firms to demand compensation for the costs of complying with American financial and environmental regulations. This will increase the power of big business in America to even greater heights.

According to U.S. Navy estimates, the use of high frequency underwater sound for testing in Hawaii, the California and Atlantic Coasts, and the Gulf of Mexico will deafen more than 15,900 whales and dolphins and kill 1,800 more over the next 5 years. Whales and dolphins depend on sound to navigate and live. Your signature and comment could stop this Naval program, potentially saving the lives of these ocean creatures.

This is a petition opposing Michigan House Bills 5669, 5670, 5671 and 5672, also known as Medical Malpractice Reform Bills or Patients First Reform Package. The most concerning aspect of this reform package is House Bill 5670, which states in part that an individual will not be found liable for medical malpractice if the individual "exercises professional judgment if the person acts with a reasonable and good-faith belief that the person's conduct is both well-founded in medicine and in the best interest of the patient". As patients we trust and hold our physicians to high standards and believe that they follow well-established standards of medical care. This provision would set aside those standards of care for a highly subjective determination of the "reasonableness" of conduct based upon it being "well-founded in medicine" as well as "in the best interests of the patient". This bill allows doctors to avoid meritorious lawsuits, and it is tantamount to saying, ‘I’m a good driver, I didn’t mean to hurt anyone and I was using my best judgment’ after causing a car accident.' What matters is whether you caused the accident.

This petition is to get Congress is to get serious about policy on global warming. It's about having a planet that our children and their children could live on. It's about taking seriously the disappearing islands, the intense weather patterns, and the urgent warning of scientists worldwide. It's about having the discussion based on science, not the will of the Koch brothers.
