End the Drug War NowBlacks and Latinos are targeted and jailed for small amounts of marijuana while comedians and the President of the US laugh about their own use. This is hypocriay at its most crass. The Justice Dept. is now busting dispensaries and users in states where medical weed is legal, even though Obama promised not to do that. Thousands of people have been killed by drug cartels because of this absurd prohibition. Legalization will also bring in billions of dollars in public money through regulation and taxation13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marlene Foster

Increasing Minimum WageDemocrats in the House have proposed raising minimum wage to $10 and hour. Raising minimum wage will allow large numbers of people, particularly women and minorities, to better support themselves and their families. We all know that America tends to look down on individuals who are not completely self sufficient, but also creates systems that make it impossible for people to meet that goal. Raising minimum wage will allow countless people more dignity and respect, as well as breathing room in their budgets.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Elizabeth

Repeal Citizens United.I do not even have provide reasons why Citizens United is the ultimate of WRONG; it is glaringly obvious why this needs to be repealed. It should never have been approved by the Supreme Court. It just goes to show how corruption has wormed its way through our entire system. REPEAL CITIZENS UNITED7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by M.

Demand Quality Maternity CareThe US spends more money than any other country for maternity care and has one of the highest maternal mortality rates. It has been shown that the majority of obstetric guidelines experienced by women are "not based on good and consistent scientific evidence." We think Americans must become educated on the state of our maternity care system and demand that changes to be made to promote physiologic childbirth, as well as accurate information for women to make informed decisions for their health care.107 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Amy Meister-Stetson

Defend voting rights: Local election officials act now!American voting rights are under siege. In 2011 alone, 19 new laws and two executive orders were enacted to make it harder for people to vote this year. The Bush Administration started the trend started a decade ago, targeting an alleged epidemic of voter fraud. But a study by the Justice Department five years on found virtually no evidence of illegal attempts to skew elections. Thirty-one states now require that people have a government-issued ID card to vote. This is a needless barrier for any voter, but when you consider that 25 percent of African Americans do not have photo IDs, compared to 11 percent of all voters, it is no wonder that many see these laws as a modern day poll tax. The evidence shows that these laws are a solution for a non-existent problem. And they suppress the vote—especially in historically disenfranchised communities. To ensure that every American can exercise their right to vote in November, join with me in asking your local election officials to take the following measures now. The integrity of the election depends on it.868 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman

Congress: Require a single grade of gasoline.A very simple way to bring down gasoline prices is to require that all gasoline powered vehicles in the United States operate on the same grade of gasoline. This can significantly reduce costs for refining, storing, and transporting different grades of gasoline. Auto makers already comply with many regulations, and this is easy for them. This requires no new technology, no new infrastructure, and only simple changes in the design of a small minority of vehicles. There is no good reason for having multiple grades of gasoline.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Randall Woodbury

Tell Palermo's Pizza - Stop the Harassment!Over the past year, the efforts in Wisconsin have mobilized a new wave of activists. And the fight continues in Milwaukee, as the workers of Palermo’s Pizza are fighting to form a union in order to secure safe working conditions – and facing intimidation and threats by the frozen pizza company. The company has even resorted to threatening employees with immigration audits in order to intimidate and frighten workers of all backgrounds. In the face of unlawful efforts to interfere with their efforts to organize, these courageous, hard-working employees are standing strong in solidarity. The Palermo’s Pizza workers call on pizza lovers everywhere to contact Palermo’s Pizza and tell them that customers won’t buy their pizza unless the company stops the unlawful intimidation campaign and attacks on workers’ rights.15,765 of 20,000 SignaturesCreated by Palermo's Workers Union

Remove the cap on taxable Social Security wages.As it now stands, only the first 110,000 of a worker's wages are Social Secuirty taxable. All of a worker's are Medicare taxable. So if someone makes 110,000 maximum in a year, all of those wages are Social Secuirty taxable. But - if someone else makes 500,000 in a year, only 110,000 of those wages are Social Security taxable. Why? Makes no sense. If all wages were Social Security taxable and the government kept their hands off this money and used it for Social Security only, I believe the Social Security program would be solvent.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joann Hill
