• Tax the multi-million dollar Pacs.
    My petition is about the waste in Pac money. No public good benefits from this deep well of spending. This Pac money should be taxed and the proceeds used to prop up struggling programs like Medicare, enhance education, improve our infrastructure, create jobs. Jobs. Jobs. At least, make the Pac money provide some good for our struggling working and middle class.

  • Tell Walmart to Reject Monsanto's GE Sweet Corn
    1. Monsanto's genetically engineered sweet corn hasn't been tested for human safety, and it contains three different genetically engineered traits that have never been used in food eaten directly by people. It has been genetically engineered to produce pesticide and resist herbicide. 2. Whether you shop at Walmart or not, they are the largest U.S. food retailer, and if they won't sell genetically engineered sweet corn, it's likely that farmers won't plant it. 3. Genetically engineered sweet corn will not be labeled, so you won't know what you're buying.

  • Restricting the age of military enlistment to 21 or older
    Over the past 20 years, researchers have found strong evidence that the brain's prefrontal cortex — where rational processes such as impulse control and understanding of long-range consequences takes place — was far from fully developed in teenagers. Research also showed that communication between the prefrontal cortex and other parts of the brain continues to improve as teens move into adulthood, affecting functions such as long-term planning, problem-solving and controlling emotions. Research also shows that adding anger, trauma, repeated exposure to violence, or chronic drug or alcohol use to the brain's developmental years will physically affect the brain. The latest research using MRI scans at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology indicates that the prefrontal cortex as well as other brain functions are not fully developed until the early to mid-20s, and perhaps later in young males. "Consensus is emerging that an 18-year-old is not the same person she or he will be at 25.... They don't look the same, feel the same, think the same, or act the same," writes MIT researcher Rae Simpson. Simpson says "The brain isn't fully mature at 16, when we are allowed to drive, or at 18, when we are allowed to vote, or at 21, when we are allowed to drink, ...."

  • Taxation Gender Justice
    Why should women taxpayers pick up the bill for impotence treatments while denied access to birth control and abortions? Why should women be forced into "breeding for the state" while millions of dollars in child support payments remain uncollected?

  • War Profits: A Crime Against Humanity
    War is hugely profitable for a few corporate, or human persons. If War Profits were illegal, most wars would cease as the financing dried up. Profits on the manufacture or distribution of materials consumed by war efforts must be limited to 5% over cost of production. Corporate officer salery and bonus pay should be limited to not more than the President of the country earns as official salery.
