• Let's Make the Buffet Rule a Reality
    If you're part of the wealthiest 1%, feel free to ignore this. If not, sign. Let's show Pres. Obama he's right about fair taxation and we're behind him. Show your support for the Buffet Rule. If you agree that millionaires should pay at least as high a rate as middle class Americans, sign this petition to show our numbers. No household making more than $1 million each year should pay a smaller share of their income in taxes than a middle class family pays. This is the Buffett Rule—a simple principle of tax fairness that asks everyone to pay their fair share.

  • Ban Electronic Voting Machines
    Electronic Voting Machines have been proven inaccurate, unreliable, and susceptible to fraudulent tampering. In 2012 after the initial GOP Primaries, several states had inaccurate counts including Iowa and many had revised vote counts and many mistakes. This will not stop unless we make it stop.

  • Speaker Howell: Help Protect Patients From Deadly Septic Shock Infection
    This petition is in hopes to acquire a law that requires every Virginia hospital to report all cases of the deadly blood infection known as Septic Shock. Most people have no idea the state of Virginia is not among the states that are required to collect or report any information regarding incidents of septic shock. My hope is if this petition is signed it might prevent some of the fatal traumatic incidents of Septic Shock at Virginia hospitals. I aquired this deadly infection while in a Virginia hospital and once I was released no one in the healthcare profession seemed to care. This is a scary thought because 40-50% of patients that acquire this blood infection die. This is an outrage! This fatal desease must be controlled to prevent further families from loosing love ones. Hospitals and staff should be held accountable for their mistakes.

  • Vanity Fair: Publish Diverse Faces!
    The Problem: It's almost cliche now that Vanity Fair's annual Hollywood Issue will feature white actors to the near-total exclusion of actors of color who are as busy and talented as their white colleagues. Too often, actors of color-- and the important stories they tell-- are relegated to specialized or marginalized publications. Rather than segregating actors, we paying newsstand readers and subscribers would prefer to see and read about actors who are telling compelling, powerful stories-- which are sometimes not at the top of the box office returns-- no matter what race they are. One Solution: Vanity Fair has an impressive stable of writers, photographers and editors. They are thinkers who have the ability to do more than pander to the masses, just as countless other publications do already. VF has a unique position and ability to elevate and challenge our cultural conversation. Therefore, we ask that they make an effort to do so, starting with that most powerful of impression-makers, the visual on the cover.

  • DENTAL CARE FOR ALL
    I see too many people who are in need of dental care. Teeth not cared for can actually cause death. It's a terrible thing to see woman especially , who feel so bad about their teeth. It's not like this in European countries. I think we should support the dental schools, like UCLA School of Dentistry, by Allowing people to come to them for prepaid dental care.

  • Fair Treatment for Employees Injured on the Job
    A customer at Publix closed her car trunk on the head of a courtesy clerk who was putting groceries in her car. When she reported the accident to her manager she was told to go back to work because she was not bleeding. A few hours later she experienced dizziness, numbness and a blinding headache. Instead of taking her to the doctor she was told to drive there herself. The Company doctor told her nothing was wrong but she woke unable to move the next day and went to emergency. Another doctor found that she had sustained a serious neck injury resulting in nerve damage. Publix disregarded his finding and refused to pay workmen's comp. Consequently she has been unable to work for the past seven months and has lost her other part time job which gave her medical benefits. She eventually found a lawyer to take her case and they pushed her into settling for a very small amount. Now she does not have a job and may need surgery due to this injury.

  • Stop Random Strip Searches
    The Supreme Court recently ruled that anyone arrested by police can be strip-searched for any reason. ANY minor infraction including riding a bike without an audible bell; failing to use a turn signal; having a noisy muffler; engaging in a sit-in -- can now trigger a strip search. This ruling by the Supreme Court will enable police to strip search anyone without justification. Legislation is needed NOW to stop this appalling violation of civil rights.
