• National License for Funeral Service Professionals
    Enacting a law that would license funeral service professional in the same manner that doctors are licensed. This would make them more accountable, and strengthen the profession that is presently free to pray on individuals and take advantage of them in a sensitive time in their lives.

  • Yes! Obama Cares
    This isn't a petition, it is an idea for a slogan. I do not know how else to bring it to somebody's attention.

  • Metro-Dade Fire Captain Brian Beckmann: You're Fired!
    On the evening of Wednesday, April 11th a captain with Metro-Dade fire station, Local 1403, posted a hate-filled rant on his facebook wall. His comments were in response to Special Prosecutor Angela Corey's decision to arrest George Zimmerman in the shooting death of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin. His comments make questionable his ability to perform his job as a first responder in a community as diverse as Metro-Dade County Florida.

  • Using Planned Parenthood this year
    My petition is for women to pledge to use services at Planned Parenthood this year, as a sign of support of the organization. For women who live within a reasonable distance of a clinic, and who can afford to pay in full for services (if PP doesn't accept your insurance), to use Planned Parenthood for their check-up, or any of their services.

  • 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. Politicans 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.

  • Preserve Social Security for Post-Baby-Boomers
    Social Security insurance provides an essential safety net for the elderly, for disabled workers, and for surviving children. The American people can easily afford to preserve Social Security, even though many have been convinced it can't be there for them. Americans should be told the truth about Social Security, and Social Security funding should be adjusted to provide benefits for future generations.

  • Elimination of "At Will" employment
    The majority of our states are "At will" employment states. While it is understandable that the term "At Will" means that you may terminate your employment whthout cause, employers also have the right to terminate your employment without cause. For EMPLOYEES that have been terminated for truly doing nothing wrong, it is extremely detremental in their efforts to find and secure future employment. The fact that future employers see a termination on your employment records biases their desire to employ you, whether you were at fault or not. I believe that employers must prove that an employee was truly in violation of company policy before they are terminated.

  • Remove Tax Breaks for the Wealthy
    My petition is about fairness when it comes to taxes. Urge congress to remove tax breaks for the very wealthy (those who make more than $250,000.00 per year) and large corporations (those that make more than 1 million dollars per year). Then, we can work toward a more balanced budget with not sacrificing funding for important things like education and healthcare.

  • USPS vs Congress Senate Bill 1789
    The Postal Service wants to Consolidate Plants and Small Rural Post Offices. Lower the Service standard of the First Class Mail Letter. Post Office management has made clear that if Congress doesn't take action before May 15, the USPS will begin to dismantle the Mail processing network. By 2015, the USPS plans to eliminate more than half of all mail processling plants. This problem was created by congress in 2006 when it voted to require the Postal Service to pre-fund 75 years worth of future retiree health benefits over a ten year period- a burden no other government or private company has to do. Everyone should join the struggle by calling, writling, e-mailing or visiting your senators immediatelly.
