Vote No on CISPAHR 1981 Passed on the week of April 22-27th. This bill is a wide spread internet snooping bill that was relabeled after SOPA/PIPA was struck down. It allows government intrusion upon your civil liberties with out warrant for your own "protection." They are preparing already to use these powers in conjunction with the new NSA super computer complex.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by J Chambers

Obama: Pass the Tax Parity for Health Plan Beneficiaries ActAlthough employer-provided health coverage for different-sex spouses is excluded from an employee’s gross income, domestic partner benefits are not. As a result, an employee who elects domestic partner coverage pays more income and payroll taxes than a similarly-situated employee with a different-sex spouse.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Peter Welch

Stop Paul Ryan's attack on railroad workers and railroad retirees.Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-WI) budget proposes radical and unnecessary changes to railroad retirement that will adversely affect current and retired railroad workers and their families while saving the taxpayer nothing. Railroad retirement is fully funded by railroad workers and the rail industry with no public funds used. Please contact your elected officials to stop the needless changes to railroad retirement.104 of 200 SignaturesCreated by JoAnn Walker

Plan B For HayTo be delivered also to: Powys County Council, the Brecon Beacons National Park Planning Authority and the Welsh Assembly Government. We are convinced that a new second supermarket will detrimentally affect the economy of Hay-on-Wye’s small, and as yet intact Market Town. There are other proven and viable options to funding Hay-on-Wye’s proposed and much needed new school, and we are pursuing these with vigour as alternatives. However, there are just 1250 registered voters in Hay-on-Wye. We are a tiny, intact community with a fragile market and tourist economy - and no chain stores. Our High Street is precious and unique. We need your help to preserve it, and our way of life, now a rarity in Great Britain. Within a 4 mile radius of Hay-on-Wye, we delivered 3000 questionnaires (2 per household) to our local community and we now know that: 82% Agree that a new second supermarket will result in shops and local suppliers closing 75% Agree that a new second supermarket will result in people losing jobs 70% Agree that a new second supermarket will have a negative environmental impact on our town Please can you help us in our battle with big business over democracy? We cannot do this alone, we are just too small. DO PLEASE sign our petition…….! Many thanks1,598 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Plan B For Hay

Save Progressive Talk RadioResearch shows 90% of news/talk is conservative and 10% is progressive. When progressive talk KLSD-AM (Air America) in San Diego was considering changing formats in 2007, the devoted listenership rallied and petitioned, but Clear Channel changed the format anyway. The listeners were devastated, and continue to have no access to liberal views on local, terrestrial radio. This is the case in many places in America. Radio stations are supposed to serve the public interest in exchange for their free licenses, access to our publically owned airwaves. The FCC has a mandate to ensure radio is competitive with diverse, local content but it is shirking its responsiblity to the detriment of our democracy. Furthermore, the Congress and President Clinton made a grave error in 1996 with the passage of the Telecommunications Act which allowed corporations to own an unlimited number of radio stations. To understand what happened, see the new documentary films, Save KLSD: Media Consolidation and Local Radio" and "Broadcast Blues".4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jennifer C. Douglas

Beirut Marine Families PetitionIn 1983 the Iranian government directed terrorists to do something "spectacular" against the Marines on a peacekeeping mission in Beirut. It resulted in the Marine Barracks bombing—killing 241 American Marines. In 2002, the survivors and families of the fallen Marines won a judgment against Iran for $2.6 billion. Recently, investigators found $1.8 billion of Iran's money in a frozen bank account in the United States. We have two choices: 1) Pass HR 4070 and S 2101 allowing these funds to settle the judgment in favor of our Marines OR 2) Send the $1.8 billion back to the Iranian government to use for more terrorism YOUR CHOICE— Sign this petition, and call your Congressman (1-202-224-3121) to pass HR 4070 and S 2101. Thank you.497 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Kathryn Beirut
