Defund TSAThe TSA has turned our airports into a "Constitution-free" zone where people are arbitrarily searched and forced into machines designed to show images of their naked bodies, all in clear violation of the Fourth Amendment. We are asking that all funds for this agency be withheld until they follow the procedures mandated by the amendment and stop interfering with the established right of the people to move freely from one state to another..163 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Tony Ferrara

Petition to Tucson City Mayor and Council to End Corporate PersonhoodIf you believe corporations are not people and money is not speech please sign this petition asking Tucson Mayor and City Council to pass a resolution stating this. While the above statement is so obvious that our founding fathers did not think it necessary to put it in the original U.S. Constitution, unfortunately there have been activist judges on the U.S. Supreme Court who have made such a common sense statement necessary. As a result of the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in the Citizen's United case it has become necessary to pass an amendment to the U.S. Constitution stating corporations are not people and money is not speech. This Supreme Court ruling has allowed corporations the ability to spend unlimited amounts of money in elections, thus making it possible for them to buy candidates. This undermines the basic tenants of democracy and has effectively prevented the average American from having a voice in their government. The only way to reestablish democracy in America and give the voice back to the people is by passing an amendment to the U.S. Constitution stating corporations are not people and money is not speech. The goal of this petition is to help with the building of grass roots support of this Constitutional Amendment. Currently politicians are indebted to big campaign donors (i.e. corporations) and will not pass this amendment unless forced to by the American people. A resolution passed by Tucson Mayor and City Council will be nonbinding, since they do not have the power or authority to change the U.S. Constitution, but it will help build this grass roots movement that will end up forcing Congress and the states to pass this amendment. Please sign this resolution and show the government that the people of Tucson, AZ are demanding this Amendment to the U.S.Constitution, because we are demanding they restore our democracy.22 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Anna Steele

Remove Oil and Gas Subsidies to Fund Low Stafford Loan Interest RatesStafford loans are scheduled to double from around 3% to over 6% in the next few weeks! Almost every middle to lower income person with a college education in America has or is benefiting from these low interest, federally subsidized loans. Americans are saddled with more debt due to student loans than credit cards and we cannot afford this increase, especially now. President Obama proposes funding the continuation of low interest rates by cutting federal subsidies for oil and gas companies, currently earning record profits of 104 million dollars every single day. Republicans, also wanting to keep loan rates low, propose getting the funds from federal money allocated to preventative medecine for women and children, like mammograms and vaccinations. We must let all our Congress know that they have no reasonable grounds for keeping these interest rates low by compromising the heath of American women and children. There is only one choice, stop lining the pockets of big oil.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Netanya Welch

So this is an attempt to have a positive petition to THANK you the Governor of the State of Minnesota for your leadership and exercising your power as governor vetoing several bills, showing that Minnesota has a check and balance system.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Daniel Tilsen

Transition from Coal to RenewablesEveryday, tons upon tons of carbon pollution, ozone, nitrous oxides, sulfur dioxides, particulate matter and mercury – all from coal - exact a staggering price. Coal is the primary driver of man-made climate change – the defining moral and ethical environmental challenge of our age. The production cycle of coal is a cycle of death - especially for the people living in the toxic shadows of coal plants: breast cancers, stomach cancers, heart and lung disease and asthma.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mariel Nanasi
