move the democratic convention out of NCNorth Carolina voted to ban gay marriage and even civil unions one day before President Obama announced his support for gay marriage. Having the Democratic convention in NC in September is not the way to follow up the President's proclamation. Because the convention brings in so much money for the state it's held in, it doesn't make sense to bankroll a state that opposes what most Democrats stand for. We probably won't win NC anyway, so let's go to Ohio, or Michigan, or Massachusetts, or just about anywhere but NC.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by laraine m harrison

Stop Cox Communications Virginia Cable MonopolyCox is the only cable company that offers cable in most of the state of Virginia. They raise prices every 2 years and bill you a month in advance. If you owe a bill for $100 a month they will bill you $200 and add a $5.00 late fee for each month if you do not pay the entire amount. Virginia legislators are so busy raising the prices on every state provided necessity while reducing money for big business in this state that is is very difficult for anyone to live comfortably. Regulating Cox would be a good start.246 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Ericka A. Byrd

Sensible Support for BusinessesCorporations and Businesses receive huge tax-breaks and subsidies from local, state and federal governments - not all of those windfalls are of benefit to the tax-payer who has to foot the bill. I propose that all business subsidies / tax breaks of more than $500,000, or $100,000 for five years or more, are subject to automatic review. Before the subsidies / breaks can be continued, legislative bodies must determine the value to the citizenry, produce a detailed report on their findings, and have an open public comment period.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by kevin cummings

LET CHILDREN VISIT PARENTS IN PRISONFlorida restricts those under 18 from visitation with an incarcerated parent, even alongside their other parent or adult family member, in many legal cases. The court, jail, or prison should not restrict children from visitation with their parent. Studies show children benefit from visiting with their parents.87 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dolores R.

Fair TaxationWe need much more fairness in our tax system. Many people do not even realize that almost 1/2 of our citizens pay ABSOLUTELY NO INCOME TAXES AT ALL! We must insist that everyone share the load. That 46% of the people who pay zero income taxes should be ashamed of themselves. How can we best do that? I suggest that we end ALL deductions and loopholes. If EVERYONE pays the same percentage of income in taxes, that would most certainly be fair. Obviously, the wealthy will continue to contribute, by far, the largest total amount, at least the burden will be shared equally. We must end the so-called earned income credit. Do you realize that we actually PAY some citizens for doing nothing? As I understand it, the government actually sends them a check, rather than the citizen sending the government a check -- that makes no sense at all.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Darwin Carmichael
