Help Save Liberty DenimLiberty Denim has been a fabric mill since 1901. It is one of the last denim factories in the United States. It closed down in December 2011 due to being bankrupted by the owners & management in spite of producing 400,000 yards of denim per week and making millions of dollars in revenue. We plan on reopening it as an employee-owned co-op. www.facebook.com/HelpSaveLibertyDenim www.wearUSA.org664 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Liz Havlin

Tax reform needed nowRepublicans in Congress backed out on a tax reform deal along the lines of Bowles Simpson last year and then almost shut down the government and lowered our US credit rating. We must not have the same scenario this year.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joel Carlson

REPEAL CITIZENS UNITEDThe Citizens United ruling was NOT a matter of free speech as they asserted. It IS a matter of one-man-one-vote in a republican form of government. By allowing unlimited contributions by corporations they have essentially given them as many votes as they can afford. It is the equivalent of saying that votes can be had for every x number of dollars, or that only landowners can vote; a concept proposed and rejected by our founders. In addition, they have ignored the laws that prohibit political contributions by foreign interests because almost all publicly held companies have some stock owned by non citizens. Further, because there is no reporting requirement for contributors, foreign interests can make direct anonymous contributions to these Super PACs. Shouldn't it be a violation to let foreign interests decide who is going to be a US public servant? Corporations are NOT people; they are commercial and legal paper entities, and they have legal protections people do not. They do not have children who need good schools, they cannot get cancer from a polluted environment, they cannot lose their lives in wars of choice, they cannot be sent to prison or jail, and they do not benefit from a happy populace. Their sole interest is in monetary profit. When corporations enter political debates with vast expenditures and propaganda, they seek to further their own interest, not those of humans. Far too often their interests prevail at the expense of the public well being because of their immense wealth.39 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Thomas G Spencer

Don't tax Internet storesSenator Roy Blunt of Missouri is trying to tax stores such as Amazon and E-bay for sales over the Internet. He claims that small businesses will benefit if shoppers are taxed on their Internet purchases. He also claims that states (already running on tight budgets) will be able to cut taxes if they receive revenues from Internet sales. In short, he wants Internet shoppers to pay taxes by taxing the Internet stores. Isn't that contrary to the Republican philosophy of never increasing or adding new taxes?12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gene W. DeVaux

ALL United States Government Job DescriptionsI believe it is in the best interest of the American People to rewrite the job description of all our Government Officials from the white house to the general labor and then match those jobs with a appropriate pay or salary according to the job or position. When the American Peoples Taxes are paying an employee to do the job for the USA we also need to enforce that that those positions and or jobs descriptions are being carried out to met the American Peoples expectations after all thats why they have the job because we believe they can and will serve the American people. I am sure we could also cut out a few positions that are only costing The US and not a necessary position if it is not serving the American People.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by L. LaVonne Everly

Free Education for All!!!Robert Applebaum has started a conversation with his petition to call on Congress to enact Student Debt relief from the millions of us who have burdensome student loan debt. I believe that tuition fees for students that work hard to make it to college, then to be burdened with tuition fee debt later on, are a obstacle to progress and growth in this country.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by James Whalen
