Gas prices keep going up. We can stop it.

The U.S. Military notoriously used Agent Orange in the Vietnam War to defoliate forested and rural land to deprive combatants of tree cover and plant food sources. The Military's application of this highly toxic chemical had devastating effects on the environment and on human life. Now, one of the makers of Agent Orange, Dow Chemicals, seeks approval of corn and other crops that are resistant to 2, 4-D, a chemical in Agent Orange. If these crops are approved, farmers who plant them will be required to use herbicides containing 2, 4-D to manage weed growth.

When Exxon and other oil companies are showing higher profits than at any time in history and when there seems to be no prevailing sense of civic or corporate fairness, there should be some vehicle to get the attention of these coporations and of Congress. Either eliminate loopholes for Big Oil or implement a windfall profits tax.

Many agree that it is a human right for everyone to receive health care. Unfortunately, one branch of health care, reproductive health, has been put off. Many couples, especially from developing nations, are unable to afford family planning services offered in their countries; certain nations don’t even have a stable family planning program for their people. These predicaments violate one’s right to care for his or her well being. The limitation of such services also negatively affects one’s ability to care for his or her children. If we can make family planning services and contraceptives more affordable and available for the people who need them the most, then there will be more families whose parents can afford to help their children succeed, as well as more women given rights to care for themselves. We are asking Bayer Pharmaceuticals to donate contraceptives to organizations that will help make all of this happen.

Saves Government billions and stops putting people in prison for pot

Since churches have become political in their financial support of anti-gay issues they should be taxed. Without the financial support of the Mormon church in California prop 8 would not have passed.

This petition is about legalizing marijuana. Its about the fact that marijuana remains illegal to support corporate profits.

We the people of the United States must act to limit the powers of Corporations. Our government has become corrupted by a system of political financing that puts our politicians at the mercy of the banks and corporations that finance their campaigns. THIS MUST STOP!! Laws and tax codes cannot be fair. They are written for politicians by corporations seeking to profit from tax exemptions, and imprison larger portions of our population for longer periods of time in order to have them work for pennies a day in the penal system [as in the case of UNICORP]. The only way to stop it is to provide fair and equal financing for all federal elections. This is a big change to the status quo for our politicians who are dependent on their ties to big business to maintain their political coffers full. It means no more political coffers, and no more 100 million dollar campaigns. It means clean and fair elections for all politicians and political parties.It also means an end to corporate control of our congress.

Prescription drug addicts in California can currently visit multiple doctors and obtain multiple prescriptions for their opiates of choice without anyone noticing the crime. The Controlled Substance Utilization Review and Evaluation System (CURES) is a prescription monitoring program that keeps track of and reports fraudulent and suspicious prescription cases. However, due to its optional enrollment only 4% of California doctors and pharmacists use it. We need 100% participation to effectively combat prescription drug abuse in our state.

Any elected official that does not support the affordable health care act for all, must forfeit any tax payer funded healthcare for themselves and their families. It is not fair for one group of individuals to receive health care paid for by American taxpayers and not support it for every American. This sends a message that they must follow a consistent vision and practices in their ideology.

Our Political Representatives want to cut BOTH the Health Insurance and our Social Security of all Americans. However, they seem to be unwilling to reduce their own benefits by an EQUAL percentage of Cost. Do you believe they should help the Deficit by offering to reduce their own benefits to show they believe it is the right thing to do for the budget?

raise minimum wage to $10.00/hr or $12.00/hr for part time work. Raising wage will allow parents to work 1 job instead of 1.5 jobs and spend more time raising their kids.Create more jobs by allowing people working 2 or more jobs to be able to afford to work 1 job thereby opening up a job for someone else who needs it. Creates more disposable income for people who will spend it, which will create even more jobs.
