  • Legislate the ratio of CEO pay
    In most of the world the ratio of CEO pay to lowest paid employee is no more than 40% in the US it is over 400%. CEOs in the US make more than 400 times what the lowest paid employee gets paid. We need to control corporate greed.

  • Pass the "Use it or Lose it Act" before the general election
    Currently, by their own admission to Congress, the Petroleum industry is only drilling in about 25% of the places they currently hold leases to drill, but they refuse to return the rest of the leases for reissue to others. Passing this act would reduce the price of gas at the pump (the law of supply and demand DOES work), put more people back to work (the closed down refineries would reopen), protect fragile eco-systems like the gulf and the artic (since the currently held leases are NOT in those areas), and take the control of our economy out of the hands of the petroleum industry.

  • Comcast: Stop Allowing "OnDemand Disabling Fast Forward"
    One of the great joys of using OnDemand recorded shows used to be the ability to fast forward through advertising at will. Now Comcast is allowing more and more networks to disable the fast forward functions of Customers set top digital receivers.

  • Tell Congress to support medical liability reform
    This is urgently important. Not only do we, as patients, need to find a way to ensure "medicinal liability costs" don't cost us money, but we also need to make sure we can avoid losing our doctors (as well as our right to choose who we want to be seen by). H.R. 5 will help reduce the costs for health care (and the deficit will be reduced by this as well).

  • Why does Ann Romney have a Choice and I Don't?
    Women and men should sign this petition, and we should make slogans and t-shirts declaring our right to choose. Instead of trying to take women back 50 years, Congress should be working tirelessly to pass all possible laws to help support a woman's right to choose. The Repubicans have the biggest double standards of all time. They fight tenaciously to , take away a woman's control over her own body, yet fight tenaciously to give total control to gun toters. Out of one side of their mouths they fight for their rights, and out of the other side, they take away someone elses.

  • Creating Civility
    Everyone agrees that the discourse in the public square has gotten very acrimonious. Rather than waiting for our leaders to improve the atmosphere we as citizens should take personal responsibility to affect the change by pledging to communicate with others in a moderate and non threatening manner and avoid name calling histrionics. Operating like Pass It On each of us can be a voice for moderation !

  • Bring our Soldiers home!
    I have not heard one comment in the news, from the White House or Congresss, about the Soldiers killed as retribution for the mistaken burning of the Koran. They were killed while training Afghani soldiers. I

  • Creating Civility
    Everyone knows the dialogue in the public square has turned negative and acrimonious. Everyone expects better but is waiting for someone else to change things. This petition is a vehicle to engage our leaders and ourselves as citizens in taking responsibility for making change occur. By pledging to initiate and maintain a standard of fairness,moderation and reasonableness signers will be creating a visible commitment to action. Similar to the Pass It On movement all citizens and leaders will apply this standard to their interactions in matters of public policy and discourse.
