Virtual Occupy MovementMany of us support the Occupy Movement. We may be too frail, too old, too remote from the action, or for other reasons unable to participate on site. The Occupy Movement's reputation has been diluted by the destructive actions of a few who do not represent the movement, but its values remain intact. We need to have a strong on-line presence as part of the 99% message.105 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Deborah B. Silverman

Return Pre-withdrawal Penalties to Americans, and Eliminate Future Penalties On Our Own MoneyWhen millions of American's lost their jobs due to big business fiascos, people had to dip into their 401ks and IRAs and the like to survive. The federal government did not lift the rule on the 10% pre-withdrawal penalty. Corporations got bail-outs, and executives got bonuses. But the average citizen still had to pay a penalty when they tapped their retirement funds to survive.27 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gail

Impeach Justices Scalia and ThomasJustices Scalia and Thomas are supposed to be neutral in their decision making yet they routinely associate with the Koch brothers and Tea Party even echoing their positions. They might as well be wearing 3-pointed hats while on the bench.2,567 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Stewart Waller

Let's Make the Buffet Rule a RealityIf 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.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chase Holden

Ban Electronic Voting MachinesElectronic 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 InfectionThis 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.39 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Renita Kilby

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.112 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Anita

DENTAL CARE FOR ALLI 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.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sharon Fitzpatrick

Fair Treatment for Employees Injured on the JobA 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.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mary Bagwell
