Keep financial aid for hair stylists, mechanics, chefs, and truck drivers.Rich politicians from the Senate Committee on Education are ending financial aid for women and low income students. The committee consists of rich attorneys who cannot relate to Joe the Plummer or Harriet the Hair Dresser. Their kids don't qualify for financial aid so they are attacking schools with high women and minority enrollments. STOP THEM NOW or YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD COLLEGE. They are targeting YOU!40 of 100 SignaturesCreated by WomensVotersAlliance

Stop Michigan Republican Abuse of "Immediate Action" ClauseMichigan's Republican legislature has used the "immediate action" clause to pass over 550 laws since January. This clause was intended for a natural disaster or like event. Currently, Michigan Republicans are using this clause to pass bills contrary to the formal legislative process. Please sign this petition to tell Michigan Republican legislators to start following the proper legal process. Some sources indicate that every law passed could be legally challenged for validity. Governor Snider and his Republican zealots are out of control and need to know that the state belongs to all its residents not just big business.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dave Kocenda

Corporations are >not< 'People.'The US Bill of Rights does not read "We the Corporations," it reads "We the PEOPLE." A key element to the Citizen's United debate is the false notion that corporations are entitled to free speech equal to that of a US citizen. Many other perversions of democracy currently being asserted fall from this same false premise. A 'corporation' is >only< a hypothetical legal construct created for the purpose of organizing capital and managing business liability. Nothing more. This fact needs to be re-asserted in current political awareness.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by A. Real Citizen

Move to AmendIt's about an existing petition, the Move to Amend the U.S. Constitution to say that Corporations ARE NOT People, and that Money is not the same thing as Freedom of Speech. This would help put people back in charge of our Democracy instead of the big corporations, big banks, and richest 1%.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Douglas Johannes
