Petition to Stop Mandatory Enrollment of People with Disabilities and Senior Citizens into Manage...Petition Summary: California currently has 1.9 million seniors and persons with disabilities who are enrolled in California’s Medicaid program (Medi-Cal). The majority of Seniors and People with Disabilities, are eligible for Medi-Cal and Medicare. The State of California has determined that the current financial and program structure for delivering health care Long Term Service and Support LTSS, that includes Home Community Based Services --- In Home Supportive Services to SPDs is fragmented. To address these issues, Governor Jerry Brown proposes as part of California’s 2012-13 budget, the (Managed) Care Coordination Initiative to integrate health care LTSS, Home Community Based Services --- In Home Supportive Services into Managed Care for all SPD’s who are dual eligible statewide beginning in January 2013. Managed Care in California has been an unsuccessful health policy, as it has contributed to higher health care costs of about 25-33% higher over current state spending. Managed Care will undermine patients' access to health care by: restricting patients' choice and access to physicians’ treatment and medication. Under Managed Care SPD’s may lose or receive inadequate home care services and hours. Finally they will no longer have the right to hire train set work schedules or fire their personal care attendance.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by audrey harthorn

Petition to enact a system of Presumed Consent of Organ DonationThere are currently over 113,000 people waiting for an organ transplant. Only 28,463 transplants occurred in 2009 while 105, 567 waited for a transplant that year. Over 2.5 million people died in the U.S. in 2007, imagine if they were all registered organ donors. By enacting a presumed consent program, the organ shortage would be eliminated and millions of lives would be saved.157 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Kelley Curran

Change the degrading titleABC has a new "comedy" called "Don't Trust the B____ in Apt 23" about a nasty woman and, incidentally, her nice roommate. Just because you don't say the word doesn't make it any less degrading. You don't call The Sopranos "Italian Mafia A-holes" or reruns of The Cosby Show "Funny but smart N-words". It's not OK to use or suggest the B word either. Women have the right to be unpleasant without being the only group called insulting names because of it. How ironic that the head of ABC is now a woman. We call on ABC to change the title or cancel the show, and to stop with "the B word" already. We know funny. B____ is not remotely funny.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Elena Carlena

Justice 4 All Includes Women of Color: End The Consequences of Concurrent Racism Plus SexismUntil the unique experience of concurrent racism plus sexism is ended for women of color, women of color cannot move from the socio-economic bottom of society where 48% of housing foreclosures are women of color; women of color are dying at the highest level from every curable disease; only one woman of color has ever been in the US Senate; and 61% of Asian American, 74% of African American, and 75% of Latina American women over 65 cannot meet their basic needs for food, shelter, health care or employment. If there is no justice for women of color, society cannot be just. Freedom cannot be divided nor given to some while others are left out.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Suzanne Brooks

Equality, realigning the benefits of congressIt's time that our elected officials stand with the people of this country. This petition is set in motion to realign the outrageous benefits members of congress receive for life.
