Undocumented Workers Should Have Rights Too!Undocumented workers are human beings who deserve to have rights and be a part of this country. There are many myths on how undocumented workers harm the country's economy when actually they can benefit it. There needs to be a gateway for undocumented workers to gain citizenship in this country. Politicians avoid this topic but it needs to be dealt with. We need to defend these people and give them a chance to live life in a country that they respect and love without them having to fear being deported.406 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Saira Khokhar

Bring back Glass-SteagallThe Glass-Stegall act was created during the Depression of the 1930's as a way of safeguarding people's bank accounts. It forbade the banks from gambling with depositors' money in risky enterprises. The repeal of Glass-Steagall back in 1999 paved the way for the financial crash of 2008. Repeal Gramm-Leach-Bliley (which took away the Glass-Steagall protection) and bring back sensible regulation!5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Yolanda DeByle

Voter ID requirement - the new Poll TaxIf the State or the US government should begin to require voter ID at the polls, then the State needs to provide that photo ID at the government's expense. TSA (Transportation Safety) at all the airports has cost the government (the taxpayers) over $50 Billion. They have effectively uncovered and confiscated numerous nail clippers, bottles of perfume and shaving lotion, but to date no terrorist. Think what that money could have done for our educational system. At least we would have safe and better equipped schools for our children. Photo Identification unless provided at State expense is a new "Poll Tax" which has been determined to be unconstitutional. Please sign to stop this right wing paranoid foolishness about requiring a photo ID to be allowed to exercise the right to vote.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rev. Albert D. Kissling

Plea for Continuation of FBI Corruption InvestigationWhile Ted Stevens’ best friend Bill Allen and other oil executives were bribing Alaska’s legislators, including Ted's son Ben Stevens, corruption in Alaska grew to that critical mass necessary to enable corruption to become self sustaining with or without oil backed bribery schemes. End result, communities across Alaska are dominated by persons who’ve secured an unfair advantage over local commerce by pouring money into the campaigns of elected officials who sustain their unfair advantage.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ray Metcalfe

Unearned Money by legislators-State and FederalWe need to stop politicians from getting pensions and health care after only two years of service. The pensions should be part of social security with the same laws as to starting and the health care (that is much better than what is available to the general public) should not be available for a lifetime, but part of some other health care system13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marilyn Grimshaw

Support for President ObamaPresident Obama, inspite of the misguided gratuitous rude behavior and disrespectful political inuendos that have been streamed against him by a small biased minority, deserves our support as a can-do and most capable U.S. President3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by GREVILLE G.

Pro Union Ad Campaign needed!I am so frustrated that unions are not out there letting people know why unions are important. Even union members say bad things about unions. We need an ad campaign like the one Clint Eastwood did for the Superbowl that could show what unions are about. If we are to win the Walker Recall election here in Wisconsin, someone has to get that info to the electorate.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Linda Brown

Feel The Pain: Zero Health Benefits for Federal Judges and LegislatorsContingent upon the U.S. Supreme Court ruling against the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, this petition would call for a national referendum on the repeal of health and other benefits for federal legislators (congressmen and senators) and the federal judiciary (all federal judges including Supreme Court justices. Among other effects, this initiative would require that all legislators and judges purchase health insurance on the significantly more expensive individual insurance market if they choose to remain insured.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Fago

Removing the CAP on social security and medicare contributionsCurrently there is a limit on the income level which requires contributions to medicare and social security. If we are interested in preserving these critical programs needed for the maintenance of even a modest life style for our elderly we must find sources of additional funding. Currently contributions to these programs ceases at about $106 thousand. Earnings beyond that level are not subject to these deductions either on the part of the employee or employer. Support for these programs should be made by both the employer and employee up to the entire amount of wages paid coupled with a cap on the amount that can be collected.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Richard Kleinbaum

Congress should give up their perksThis petition is about the large differences between our state and US senators and congressmen and the people they are supposed to represent. They should have to pay for their own health insurance and they need to pay for their own cars and gasoline. They certainly get enough money from their salaries that are paid by the rest of us.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sharon Bennett
