The Bankers and Wall Street firms that profited enormously at the expense of everyone else deserve a day in court to answer for their crimes against the people!

Food containing Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) sold in the U.S. is not required to be labelled as such. This is because the corporations responsible have told our politicians that the GMO food is identical to non-GMO varieties. Shouldn't we, the people, be allowed the opportunity to decide this for ourselves? Currently the only way to avoid GMO food is to completely avoid corn products, soy products, cottonseed oil, canola oil, sugar beet products,farm-raised salmon, and possibly meat, eggs and dairy because the animals may have been fed GMO corn or alfalfa hay. Why should we avoid GMO food products? Because the genetic modification of these plants usually consists of making the crop resistant to herbicides (mostly Roundup, but also 2, 4-d herbicides and others). The result is that these GMO crops uptake the herbicide chemicals and put them directly into our food supply. We have allowed these corporations to poison our planet and now the food supply directly, never mind what other effects there may be (pollination problems, extinction of speies etc.). Shall we continue to allow the few to profit at the expense of us all? I say no. How about you? Demand that GMO foods be labelled Sign the petition. Thank you.

We have millions of cars on our highways and streets and need to improve safety.

The miniscule amout of Eating Disorders treatment was recently cut from the state budget. It is true that there is outpatient, individual therapy, but higher levels of care are desperatly needed, especially since insurance companies, like CDPHP have little treatment facilities in their network.

To ask Congress particularly the Republicans to stop obstructing everything. To compromise. To work for the benefit of The American People. To not pass a budget that ends Social Security and Medicare. To not end food stamps that leave hungry kids to starve.

Between 2009 and 2011, Senate Republicans killed hundreds of bills passed by the Pelosi House through abuse of the Filibuster Rule. Recently the bill to keep tuition interest from doubling was killed despite the presence of a majority of Senators in favor. Harry Reid recently admitted that he made a terrible mistake by not changing the rule to avoid abuse when he last had a chance in Jan 2011. This petition proposes a new filibuster rule that would eliminate such abuse by either party in the future.

With a Federal policy directive issued by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), recognizing medical marijuana and distinguishing it from other illegal controlled substances. In its brief, the VHA directive bolsters advocates' arguments that marijuana does indeed have medical value. It is time to allow medical cannabis to be legal in all forms in the United States of America.

Candidates and politicians have knowingly deceived the pubic time and again telling deliberate lies to bolster their positions. Any politician or candidate for office or any of their surragates that deliberately lie about an issue to the public in order to gain votes or to keep the public confused and misled about voting for their opponent should be jailed and fined as a person is that commits perjury in a court of law.

Pulitzer-prize winning economist Paul Krugman shows us how to move our nation forward in his book "End This Depression Now." It's time we empowered him to do so! Read my article http://occupythesec.nycga.net/ and you will see why this makes BOTH economic and political sense.

While 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.
