FAIR FEDERAL PAY ACTWhile our governent bleeds money, elected politicians continously vote themselves pay raises, while cutting back room deals to fire or reduce pay for workers who actually provide services. They have no sense of urgency to correct the issues as people loose thier jobs, homes, and savings. It is the responsibility for both partities to work together and solve issues. Those who cannot, are not doing thier jobs and should have thier pay ADJUSTED ACCORDINGLY. Both sides of the aisle continue to live from fat salaries and benefits, while the working class dies on the vine with no help.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by robbie ferguson

Boycott Exxon MobilWhile most oil companies give political contributions to both political parties, Exxon Mobil, the most profitable corporation in the world, gives almost exclusively to Republicans. In this age of Citizens United, it is important for (non-corporate) citizens to make sure their voices are not drowned out by corporate money. Withdrawing support from companies that work against our core values is the only recourse we presently have to fight against egregious corporate power.37 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Shel Neymark

Maintain Separation of Church and State- Get Religious Texts out of Legal MattersWhile being sworn in as a Notary in Pennsylvania, I was asked to swear on the Christian bible. Months later, while on a jury, I was asked to do the same thing. The final straw was while I was obtaining a marriage license and was asked again to swear on the Christian bible. Separation of church and state is apparently not honored as these were all legal matters and the state continues to show favoritism towards one religion (or a religion at all). We must ask to have religious texts banned from matters which are legal in nature.31 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rianne Hartwell

SREC's in WisconsinSolar Renewable Energy Credits, SREC's, must be added to the WI Renewable Portfolio Standard to make affordable, distributed solar energy mainstream in Wisconsin. Using a sytem of SREC trading offers the solution to cost recovery and income from solar energy for people and businesses while transitioning away from "burn-tec" energy production. Distributed energy is everyones right, and using it effectively may prevent the need for expensive grid buildout in the USA. The states adoption of the RPS takes us almost there. We must have a "Solar Carve-out" added to it.60 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Phil Manke
