Stop TSA from using body scanners on pregnant women.While traveling in the US, families with children under the age of 12 are now allowed to use metal detectors without additional screening, but pregnant women are still forced to either enter body scanners or endure a pat down. TSA should allow pregnant women to walk through metal detectors without being forced to go through additional, invasive screenings.160 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Trina Loomis

ASK EEOC TO PROSECUTEThousands of people are forced to pay a private attorney to handle their discrimination cases once EEOC submits a "right to sue" letter. The EEOC has the power to prosecute each case. Statistics show that they prefer not to, leaving people to pay for legal council. The majority cannot afford the high legal fees are are forced to do nothing allowing their employer to go free.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by dan wehnes

Term Limits for Supreme CourtThe notion of any position in government running for life is an idea which should have died with rule by monarchy.It invites a tyranny of the few affecting all. While an independent Court is best for all, a wholly unaccountable Court serves no one.38 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Randy Handley

Fed Cuts Off Hundreds of Thousands of Unemployed Across the country, 93,000 affected in Californi...On May 12, 2012. the U.S. Department of Labor will cut federal funding to hundreds of thousands of US Families across the country. In California unemployed were given only two weeks' notice of loss of benefits, even though these benefits were expected to last for up to 20 weeks. The Fed believes 11% unemployment in California is an acceptable number and therefore they do not need to honor the 20 weeks promised to those seeking work. This could result in Californians' losing their homes, apartments, and cars. Tell lawmakers to support the hundreds of thousands of families across the country hit hardest by the economic downturn and act swiftly in extending federal unemployment benefits by fully extending the 2011 unemployment emergency assistance in 2012.1,377 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Leah Harrison

Blatant Ad Lies by the Romney CampaignWe need to have our politicians tell the truth when they campaign. The romney campaign has ads that are blatant lies of the Obama Administration set to run on TV. See Wadhington Post article of April 30, 2012 regarding automobile plants in Finland, traffic light manufacturing in China and solar plants in Mexico. These companies/plants are right here Ipin the US NOT overseas. Broadcasting companies Ned to check the facts before airing blatant lies!1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by MAgara

Paul LePage: Apologize for slandering public emloyeesAt a town hall meeting in Newport last Thursday, Governor Paul LePage accused Maine state employees of being “about as corrupt as you can be.” I agree with Republican State Legislators Roger Katz and Patrick Flood and others who have called on Gov. LePage to apologize. Public workers do important work for all Maine people. For Gov. LePage to call them "corrupt" is baseless and insulting to every public worker who has dedicated their lives to making Maine a great place to live, work, and raise a family.86 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tom Foreman

Elections should be held on SaturdaysIt is way past time for elections to be held on Saturdays, not Tuesdays, for it allows poor voters a better opportunity to get to the polls. It is far more difficult for low-level workers to get off during the middle of the work week, and farmers and ranchers no longer need the few days it used to take to go the polls. Today, with the right wing doing all it can to disenfranchise voters with new voter ID laws, it is high time to change election day to Saturday.29 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ron Foster
