  • Abolish Corporate Personhood
    Support a proposed US Constitutional amendment that would abolish corporate personhood that resulted from the 2010 Supreme Court decision on "free speech" for corporations, unions, and other incorporated groups that wanted to give endless amounts of money to campaigns. It's really perverse that corporations are now protected by the Bill of Rights.

  • Pledge Not to Pledge
    Elected members of government should not be beholden to a contract that does not allow them to negotiate in good faith. There has always been, and always will be drastic differences between individuals and political parties on what, and how things can best be done. Regulation, law, and taxes require people coming together for the good of the people.

  • corporate media control
    The petition is about the breaking of the monopoly of the corporate media so that the public can be informed. As of today the corporate media decides what you will hear and read and it is censoring the news plus it is a conservative media.

  • Stop Garbage Pollution in Residential Area
    New York City proposes a ten-story garbage facility in a historic and multi-ethnic, as well as landmark area which is home to one of the city's finest outdoor athletic facilities used by local schools and neighbors. Political factors involving the outgoing mayor influenced the decision, which has been shown to be more expensive than alternative, hazardous to aircraft, and noxious to health.

  • Horses are not raised for food…stop horse slaughter before it begins
    We do not raise horses as a food source in this country. They are treated with vaccines, de-wormer's, and pain killers that make their meat toxic to humans. It says it right on the bottle next to the skull and crossbones. Because of the horse's instincts, a humane slaughter is impossible. Many are just stunned only to wake up while they are bleeding to death from having their throat cut. Over breeding, like puppy mills, has to stop. The responsibility of backyard breeders and national organizations like the AQHA is to curb the overpopulation created while they are looking for that one animal that will win them a $1.98 blue ribbon. Those that don't meet the grade are tossed out with the garbage. Please sign the petition to stop the slaughtering of horses here in Florida. There is a law on the books but it is not strong enough language to prevent slaughterhouses from being built and sanctioned by the USDA. We cannot allow this to happen in the Sunshine State. Let our government representatives know that this barbaric activity will not be allowed in our state.

  • Election funding and contributions should come from individuals and not coorporations
    The government should be for the people and run by the people in every aspect. To think that some big coorperation will be able to fund whomever they want without any bondaries is scarey. Sign the petition, lets send a message that we as American individuals will not stand for this.

  • Trickle Down Doesn't work
    Our economy is tied to the middle class of millions and not the so called "Job Creators" We want the American dream for all not just a few. You cannot silence the majority. A decade of self interest, greed and deception has divided our country. We need a congress to represent the people with compromise. There are thousands who are giving up on our democracy because they do not think their vote counts. We need to change that!

  • TELL CONGRESS "STOP SPYING ON AMERICANS"
    Orwellian legislation is up for a vote this summer: the extension of the "FISA amendments" that allow the government to read our email and listen to our phone calls: and CISPA, the new internet censorship bill. Both have been passed by the Republican House. It is up to us to call our senators and read the riot act about these bills. Watch this short interview, "Senate AdvancesExpanded, "Orwellian" Gov’t Surveillance with FISA Amendments, CISPA" here: http://www.democracynow.org/2012/5/24/senate_advances_expanded_orwellian_govt_surveillance

  • Keep State Politics within the State
    We need to have all money, adverts, etc. underwritten by the people of that given state. I am from Wisconsin where 25 million out-of-state dollars have poured in to underwrite Scott Walker. If we limit states to pay for and produce their own campaigns then there should be a fairer exchange and not simply an indoctrination process which is now happening!
