Stop Employers from Discriminating When Employees Disclose DisabilityAmerican's with Disabilities Act provides protection for employees with disabilities prior to obtaining employment, but what about those who do not learn of their disability or are not diagnosed until years later? This could happen to anyone of you. All across America employers are forcing resignations, firing and demoting highly qualified individuals in fear that their disability will interfere with the very same job they were once hired & deemed qualified to do. Why should you take a stand? By doing so you are not only saving tax payer dollars and replenishing the constantly depleting social security funds available to Americans who are eligible for retirement; but also giving someone a chance at having their livelihood back. Imagine being in a position where you feel needed as a nurse, teacher, daycare worker or some other profession; to wake up and have that all taken away. In “Right to Work” States, like Florida, this is even more appalling that employers don’t have to give reason for their dismissal and makes the issue even more prevalent. Staying home collecting a 'check' should not be a way of life for those that are willing & able to continue their duties with accommodations. Encourage employers to make accommodations for employees with tenure.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Clarissa

No more homeless vets; no property taxes should be paid by disabled combat veteransIf a man or a woman has served our nation, and become unable to work in the civilian world, their service needs to be honored by a grateful nation. A homeless vet is a terrible thing; this should not be. Many veterans are homeless due to an inability to keep up with both a mortgage and property tax. If We, the People, truly value our troops, we need to put our money where our mouths are. We, the People, owe these men and women for their service, and this is a small way to pay them back.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Colleen P. Williams

Petition CNN to have an impartial fact checkerCNN is America's #1 news source. However, they seem to delight in having someone as a fact spinner from each major party. It ends up being nothing but a confusing mess where each side lambastes the other side and then goes on to present their equally greatly slanted spin of whatever issue is being discussed. This adds nothing but confusion to those interested viewers. Who to believe? CNN should have an independent fact checker or someone to clarify the issue being discussed with nothing but the facts, no spin, just facts. This is an appeal to add clarity, not continue with confusion.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Fred Riek

Oppose HR 4170HR 4170 is a bill to have the US Government pay for student loan debt, or to force the companies who have loaned money to students to cancel that debt and absorb the losses. The economics of this just don't make sense! Yes, student loan debt forgiveness would help those with loans, but only in the short term! Students now in school would not be helped. The US Government owes $14 trillion, and HR 4170 wants to add another trillion! Or even to cause companies, who own those loans, to pay for it. The US Government can't afford to pay for college education.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Morgan Parker

Gun Owners Liability InsuranceWe the undersigned want the Congress of the United States to pass legislation which would require all gun owners to purchase liability insurance for each gun they own. This insurance will guarantee that victims of gun violence be compensated for their losses. It costs taxpayes about $60,000 for every bullet fired at a crime scene. This insurance would help those who were victims of gun actions. It16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dan Beamer

The Student Loan Forgiveness Act Of 2012Subject: Support the Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012 Hi, I signed a petition to the U.S. Senate, House of Representatives, and President Barack Obama, which says: "Total outstanding student loan debt in America is expected to exceed $1 TRILLION this year. Millions of hardworking, taxpaying, educated Americans are being crushed under the weight of their educational debts, while the economy continues to sputter. Support a REAL economic stimulus and jobs plan. Support the Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012 (H.R. 4170)." Will you sign this petition too?
