Pass a constitutional amendment that says supreme court justices must be re-confirmed by the senate every 10 years by a straight up or down vote

Our Governor, Senators, and Representatives have passed Fracking, Injection Well, and Water Withdrawal laws that deny the People of Ohio, our political and human rights. The Gas and Oil Industry now holds legal precedence over our land, our water, our air, our homes, our health, our children's health, our ecosystem, and our freedom for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We, the People of Ohio, Choose to Ban Fracking and Toxic Disposal Injection Wells Now!

This petion is about lowering the cost of tuition for state colleges and univerisities. This will help parents be able to send their children to school and not get so many loans.

I am a college student and I see for myself that tuition cost goes up each year, making it hardier for parents to pay for their children education. I am concern that if the cost of tuition keep going up then there will be far less younger high school graduates seeking higher education. I am calling on your support to help save our future generation and saving parents money by signing this online petition.

There currently is no insurance protection available for self-employed workers in the U.S., this creates immense hardship for workers when they are sick or injured while at work. We should have an available program to join similar to the Workman's Compensation program available to "employees".

We the undersigned citizens of Mississippi do hereby voice our objection to the tuition increase plan submitted by Governor By\ryant and the State University System. We believe this plan will supress the low income and the working families to get a descent education or get into massive debt.

We can outsmart the billionaires. If they spend hundreds of millions on television ads but no one listens to them, then their dollars spent are meaningless.

My son Matthew was born gay. We could not have been more blessed with a smarter, nicer a more caring son than what we have now. Unfortunately a large portion of LGBT children in the United States do not have parents that feel the same as my wife and I do. Too many times are the uneducated parents willing to remove their children from their own home because of the child’s sexual orientation. This is no less than child abuse. This is no less than child abandonment. The child is left to walk the streets for food, money and shelter. Often times these cases go unreported because the child feels that they have done something wrong or have no one to turn to. The parents in most cases report their child as a runaway and local law enforcement agencies hands are tied at that point. A disproportionate number of homeless children are indeed LGBT and it needs to stop. These children need us, and we need them. Please help stop this abuse by signing this petition. One more child is too many. Thanks to all who support this very important cause. Brent, Debi & Matthew.

Freedom of the press and speech means that ACTs (American Citizen Taxpayers) are entitled to know the full facts concerning our military (and support, roughly as large), "defense" , and United Nations duplication. We don't. Assume that up to 50% of our total military/defense and foreign aid budget was shifted toward growing a stronger nation over the next five years or so?

On 6-25-12, the Supreme Court reaffirmed Citizens United when it overturned Montana's 100-year old state law limiting corporate spending in elections. Ultimately the only way to reverse the now permissible giving of unlimited and undisclosed campaign contributions is by amending the Constitution. And to get complete disclosure of where the money is coming from would take an act of Congress. Both of these remedies will take a long time and success is not assured. The purpose of this petition is to ask the Securities and Exchange Commission to promulgate rules on an expedited basis that would require publicly traded companies to disclose all political contributions of $2000 or more to any candidate, campaign fund, political party or super PAC in any given calendar year. Any contributions falling under this rule would need to be reported in a monthly SEC filing and all such contributions would need to be set forth in the annual report to shareholders, in a section of the report that immediate follows disclosure of executive compensation. Shareholders when investing in a company have a right to know how much revenue is being devoted to political contributions (now that there is no limit) and precisely who and what are the beneficiaries of the corporation's generosity. This type of disclosure is similar to the existing disclosure rules on executive salary, bonuses and benefits as investors have a right to know how much money is being spent in an area where there is much discretion.
