Impeachment of certain Justices of the Supreme CourtThe members of the Supreme Court who voted for Citizens United have facilitated the bribery of our elected officials by giving corporations the right to give unlimited money to their campaigns. Bribery being a specific ground for impeachment in the Constitution, that charge stands against those five justices. Therefore we, the undersigned call upon the House of Representatives to impeach those five justices, and the Senate to find them guilty.22 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Walter Dale Edwards

We want enough signatures to give The F4 (dave, papa, michael, and cliff) a red flag saying "bring back Fanpop, not Facepop.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gumball17

Limiting CEO pay of non-for-profit corporationsCEO's of non profits should not make more than 4x the average salary of their workforce. This is light of their taking of public monies to fund their organizations. This includes hospitals and nursing homes who use medicaid as one of their funding sources. It's not fair that they will cut people in their organization to keep their own overblown salaries.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Diana Butsch

Restore produiction of incandescent lightbulbsThere are many of us older people and people with disabilities who have vision problems. I have found that I cannot read or even see very well with florescent lighting and it gives me headaches. I think it was unfair of the government to go ahead and attempt to eliminate incandescent bulbs without adequate input from we the people. The "reason" given was to cut energy and waste...these blurosent bulbs are environmentally hazardous5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kathleen Kelley

The Crumbling HouseWe need to return to talk between the Democrats and the Republicans, debates, give on both sides. The action of the White House and the Democrats attempt to get a bill through that would creste jobs, help this country into the future, is being stopped for no particular reason by the Republicans. While we are at it, why can't we have "real" filibusters.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chris Chrisman

Investigate Florida Voter DisfranchisementRecently, Florida Governor Rick Scott ordered the Secretary of State, Kurt Browning, “to identify and remove non-U.S. citizens from the voter rolls.” In the process a list of 182,000 people was generated, and was considered so flawed by Mr. Browning and others, that Mr. Browning wrote a formal refusal to release the data to county election officials; subsequently, Mr. Browning resigned in February. Using a "known to be flawed" data-set, Governor Scott initiated a purge -- commencing with approximately 2600 voters. This purge has resulted in a serious disenfranchising of clearly eligible America Voters in a criminally negligent fashion, and must cease and desist without delay.1,398 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Progressive Centralists

V A hospital in Greenville, South CarolinaMy petition is about, why when a vet has a stroke or heart attack should they have to go to Columbia, South Carolina to be treated. I tried the out patient client today, and as ironic as it is, its memorial day. my 5 tour vietnam man had a stroke and no money , yet I took him to a hospital. Not VA because thats 3 hours away. We need to support them in all cities. Even Dallas,TX. where my father passed. So Greenville it is , Every dam city it is. They are out saving our freedom, so tell the government to forget about their riches and sacrificing their americans and lets do it.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by karen kneese

Stop the governments war on the American peopleThis is about ending the useless and expensive "war on drugs". Many of the people our government is waging this war on are our own citizens. Not only that, but the war on drugs has created a black market ran by criminals to fund criminal endeavors and organization, and to fund terrorism. The war on drugs also siphons money out of our country. The war on drugs hurts us in many more ways than it helps us.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael Grimm

Homeless veterans need our helpSigning this petition demonstrates awareness that homelessness among veterans is avoidable provided resources are redirected and allocated directly to veterans in order to purchase homes, build businesses, or reduce personal debt. Government funding designed to assist veterans should not be limited to corporations and institutions that seek to educate veterans, improve job and self-help skills, or seek to "avoid homelessness among veterans." We can do those ourselves with the right resources. I retired from the United States Army in 2004. While pursuing a master's degree, I attempted to refinance my mortgage (with a good credit rating). Bank of America delayed this process so long that eventually I either missed, or was late with a couple payments, which disqualified me for refinancing. I then applied for a modification. This process became quite lengthy as well, and Bank of America threatened to foreclose on my home. After 2 years I began filing complaints with various agencies and government officials. It was then that Bank of America completed the modification process. I have veteran friends who returned from the war with health challenges. They have had to beg for assistance just to remain in apartments (not houses they were purchasing). I have opened my own home to potential homeless veterans, because the so-called programs in place do not assist those who need a little help. If the president allocates resources to support veteran entrepreneurship we can improve job opportunities for all Americans, limiting the challenges and funding associated with developing programs that supposedly help employ veterans. I accepted unpaid employment as an intern in order to prove myself capable of performing the duties associated with employment that I was over qualified for. I only wanted to get a job I could feel good about, while helping others. I sought assistance with veteran transition programs and was denied assistance in building my own business. This business would have aided in developing many jobs for other qualified veterans and civilians. I now own my own business and have to fight with large non-veteran businesses and corporations for contracts supposedly set aside for veterans. All I get is “fee-for-service contracts,” equal to part-time employment at best. I began using my "Post 9/11 GI Bill" benefits in order to attend Argosy University, Seattle (EDMC/40% Sachs owned). Half-way through the program, someone decided to terminate pursuit of accreditation. Even more discouraging, another decision was made to close the program due to lack of enrollment. My GI bill funds were consumed; I had a mountain of student loan debt; and I don't even have a degree (which would have carried little merit). This is criminal/predatory/fraudulent behavior; an act of Terrorism, and no one has been held accountable, yet veterans are the targets of such systems. I suffered medical challenges that interfered with my quality of life. My income decreased, and my debt increased. Many of my veteran friends share similar experiences. Some self-medicate with alcohol and drugs. Reduction in personal debt decreases medical challenges associated with anxiety, PTSD, depression, and substance abuse, which puts a strain on the American economy. This is avoidable. You don't have to be a veteran to agree, support or assist, and we’re not asking for your money. We ask that you sign and pass along this petition. Thank you for your time.161 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Sonorra McMath
