Save the Postal Service for all AmericansIn 2006 the Republican Congress under George W. Bush got congress to make the Postal Service Pay for the Health Benefits of retirees, for 75 years ahead, in 10 years. No business, public or private does this. Other than that the P.O. has had an operating surplus since.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John J. Donovan

Student Loan Forgiveness ActIf Congress doesn't pass the "student loan" act that is before it, loan interest payments will be increased by July 1, 2012. There are many people still unemployed, going to school is the only way many of us will be afforded new occupations. On-the-job training is a thing of the past, unless you are fresh out of high school, even so employers are looking for employees who are proficient in their working skills. Make your voice count now and for those who will be coming along in the future!5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Carol Rigsbee

Keep us on Daylight Savings TimeIs anyone else sick of falling back and springing ahead? Is it still relevant for the US to switch their clocks? Many countries do not observe it and even in the US certain states and counties within the states do not practice it. It causes more confusion than good. It messes with your circadian rhythm. Kids have difficulty with the adjustment. It just feels like an antiquated ritual that needs to end.3,543 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Dawn Decker

No More Homeless ChildrenI work at a Homeless center in San Diego and I found out that in addition to all of these thousands of people sleeping on the streets, there are also families with little children out there! There is one parking lot where families can park their cars in a relatively safe place for the night with their kids. It is just the most unjustifiable horror that I can imagine for those kids. And look at all of the homes sitting vacant in our city. This is the lowest of the low for our country. At the age of 60 I have never seen so much greed and selfishness! We have to help these kids! NOW!660 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Mary Alice French

Preemie Medical LeaveWhen a woman has a preemie, her maternity leave is usually used going back and forth to the hospital to see her baby. By the time the child comes home from the hospital, the mother's maternity leave is over. The mother now has to figure out what to do with what is the equivalent of a newborn baby that most day cares will not take and the many required doctors' appointments. Preemie medical leave should be six weeks paid time off to be used when the preemie comes home from the hospital.68 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Danielle Ruffin

Save the Post Office!In 2006 , The Bush White House and Congress went after the Post Office with the " Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act" It requires the Post office to PRE-PAY the health care benefits for the NEXT 75 YEARS! This law requires USPS to totally fund SEVEN DECADES WORTH OF BENEFITS BY 2016!!! No other government or privately owned company is required to adhere to such a requirement. The Post Office is the #2 employer in the United States , employing 100,000 people with good union jobs. They are fully funded by the sale of stamps and related items. The USPS is the Most affordable way for Americans to mail items and it an American treasure! PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION !!!284 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Doreen DiLeonardo

DoJ, Stop helping Amazon destroy its competition.By forcing Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Penguin Group (USA), Simon & Schuster and Apple to abandon the agency plan (whereby a publisher sets the prices of its books and ebooks), DoJ allows Amazon to continue to sell below cost and thus destroy competition and become the publishers' only customer. The publishers are only defending themselves, authors and all booksellers against the Amazon leviathan.50 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Giovanni's Room

Free John LarsgardJohn Larsgard, a Norwegian student, has been sentenced to 7 1/2 years in prison for attempted murder. So what did he do? He accidentally drove down a street going the wrong way during a street festival. They surrounded the car, beat him up and threatened him. He called the local police in desperation but instead of helping him, they arrested him and charged him with attempted murder with a deadly weapon - his rental car. He spent 7 months in solitary confinement awaiting trial and was convicted today of attempted murder with a sentence of 7 1/2 years! He was convicted in this small town where the "witnesses" all agreed in lock step that he was trying to kill them. Poor guy was in fear of his life and was trying to get away from an angry mob. Oh did I mention, his mom was in the car with him?13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Abigail Johnson
