Curbing Pesticide Use Through Green Label ReformDespite the growing desire for "organic" foods in America we find ourselves more reliant on chemicals to produce our food than ever. Part of the problem is the extremely flawed organic labeling system in place. The organic label is inadequate at resolving the multiplicity of standards that create consumer confusion and undermine certification integrity while preserving the ability for labeling methods to target a wide range of environmental and public health issues. Our solution is to divide and sub-categorize this process into more specific narrowly defined certifications designed for consumer clarity and the realistic ability to regulate and enforce, under this model “pesticide free” would be only one of many new labels put into practice.35 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ian Christie

Revision of Social Security Payment ScheduleSocial Security payments should be made on a date certain (like they used to be) rather than a certain day of a certain week of the month. Recipients now must wait five weeks several months in the year before receiving their payment, which throws off the recipient's payment of other monthly obligations, thereby making those payments overdue. Social Security Administration is an entity unto itself much like the Internal Revenue Service, and the people of the United States have no recourse. They will not even respond to individual correspondence.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Shauna Stevens

Ronald Nesbitt: Public Internal Review of Police/Gov't Actions actionsDemand that City Manager, Steve Hall publicly expose to the general public for review my 13 years of police services. The public deserves a right to know about their police services, and especially minorities who are under represented. The Olympia Police Department consistently covered-up my facts pertaining to complaints associated to racist practices, and actions that raised questions around their integrity as a public safety agency. The extent of racism in the City of Olympia alone warrants concern in, and of itself regarding the quality of justice being dispensed to minorities. By signing the petition, I'll seek compensation related to personal, and career damages, as well as create an independent citizen police review process.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ronald Nesbitt

Forget legalizing gay marriage...Why is marriage such a hot topic these days? Because of government intervention. Marriage is a religious institution, ergo our government should not recognize any difference between a married and unmarried individual. Let us truly separate church and state by removing all government recognition of marriage. No tax breaks for getting married, no marriages in public courts, and no reason to complain about sexual orientation inequalities!2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by n g

Do Not Use Public Funds For An Arena In SodoThe city wants us to help pay for a multi-purpose arena in Sodo district of Seattle. We've been through this before, and last time we were ignored getting stuck with the Safeco Field bill. Why should we have to pay for something that many people in the city won't even be using? We've got to tell Mayor McGinn to put the breaks on this one and withdrawal public funding of this.123 of 200 SignaturesCreated by James Thomas

STOP THE INSANITY! RESTORE, RATHER THAN REPLACE THE TAPPAN ZEE BRIDGE.As a New York resident you are about to be saddled with an astronomical cost, via increased taxes, and reduced quality of life due to more traffic jams, 5 to 10 or more years of noise, dust, increased air pollution, and inestimable environmental damage to the Hudson River, it’s aquatic life, and the surrounding communities. The cause of all this: Our State Governor has embarked on a project to replace The Tappan Zee Bridge— a completely unnecessary, $5 to $10 billion or more undertaking, with an unbalanced state budget, borrowed funds and already strained public services. PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION AND PUT A STOP TO THIS MADNESS73 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Richard Z. Ross

End tax on income used to pay student loansTo incentivize education loan repayment, taxpayers should not have to pay federal or state income tax on wages, retirement funds, social security, or other income when it is used to repay education loan debt. The volume of education loan is soaring, the loan rates are extremely high relative to rates paid for savings, and the middle class--young and old -- is saddled with education loan debt. We need a mechanism like 529 plans that will make it easy to move money from wages, retirement funds, social security or other income into tax-free accounts that can be used to repay student and Parent Plus loans.32 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Linda Wagner
