Recently, a young man has made some horrible comments about Pres. Obama and VP Joe Biden. He posted a hateful speech on youtube that went viral stating that Obama and Biden have made kids gay. His old account was deleted on youtube, but now he is back. Please sign this petiton urging youtube to permanently block him, and to impose stricter video monitoring of youtube videos.

Over 200,000 senior citizens in Illinois are losing vital help to pay for their medications. This will force seniors to choose whether or not to take needed medcine(s). In many cases the cost of monthly premiums along with increased prescription costs will prove to be too much. The State of Illinois will probably see an increase in hospital and emergency room admissions due to people not taking needed and often life-saving prescriptions.

In my opinion this petition goes to the core of this democracy: the people's right to know. In this case something as basic as what is in their food. Genetically modified foods (GMOs) are currently exempt from labeling. Over forty countries require labeling of GMOs. Non-labeling represents one more example of the dominance of corporate money and influence (in this case Big Ag) over the basic principles of this democracy: freedom of information, the people's right to know and non-censorship of information. In November, Californians will have the opportunity to vote on a ballot initiative requiring GMO labeling. In addition, several state legislatures have recently moved towards introducing legislation to require labeling (Vermont and Connecticut did so in the past two months). In all cases Big Ag has forcefully squashed such moves, and in the case of state legislatures has thwarted legislation. Polls show 90% of the people want GMOs labeled. Monsanto, which has a woeful decades-long record of aggressive and bullying behavior (some of which has been documented in a number of books and films), is the chief player.

Governor LePage and his Republican legislators narrowly have coddles the rich while soaking the poor. We must recall him and elect Democrats this fall.

This petition urges Congress to enact THE NATIONAL CRIMINAL JUSTICE COMMISSION ACT. Irregularities and inequities in America’s criminal justice system challenge our notions of fundamental fairness. This bill will establish a commission to study the current functioning of the criminal justice system.

Justin died at a young age of two after consuming a burger with E. coli at a fast food chain. People have a right to know how animals are treated and fed so they can have a better idea of the quality of food they are eating.

Apparently one gets sued if one makes critical statements about grains or food in the United States. This is not right for a democratic society.

Bloomberg says that he wants to save lives with his ban on large drinks. So if i can't buy a large drink in McDonald ,would i be able to buy lets say 4 extra drinks?? of course i can that's what Bloomberg wants for us to spend more Money. It has nothing to do with saving lives. And everything to do with MAKING MORE MONEY!

Jobs for the unemployed and citizens in general. The infrastructure of the United States is in terrible shape and needs to be upgraded for interstate commerce and travel in general both car roads and railroads.

Launch a complete, open and thorough investigation of the whole Student Loan debacle; especially lenders whose abusive practices are egregious and harmful to the credit of millions of former and current students.
