Remove Rush Limbaugh From The AirRush Limbaugh has finally stepped over the line. In nearly 9 hours of relentless defamation of character, slander and outright lies against Sandra Fluke, he has proven that he has no place on the airwaves. Let's band together and have his broadcast license revoked once and for all.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert Orth

NH doesn't need photo I.D.'s for votersVoter fraud is practically non-existent, and the NH legislature should stop wasting so much time on bills restricting peoples' rights. The requirement of any I.D. document that costs the citizen money is equal to imposing a poll tax, which was prohiited in 1964, by the 24th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Barbara Frake

PA Tobacco Tax & Cessation/Prevention ProgrammingThe PA State Legislature has the opportunity to save lives by adding a tax to non-smoking tobacco products and by increasing monetary support for tobacco cessation and prevention programming. PA is the only state that does not tax non-smoking tobacco products. These changes may prevent youth from becoming tobacco users.96 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alysha

End the Gay Marriage BanThis petition is about the injustice and inequality that the gay community is facing in the state of Florida. Although discrimination against gays exists in other parts of our country, it is slowly declining with the recent legislation allowing gays to marry in several states such as New York, Washington, and Maryland. Ending this ban will end the use of personal religious beliefs in politics.242 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Danielle McClain

Landmark Admirals Row!On January 27, 2012, New York City took title to the Admirals Row property in the old Brooklyn Navy Yard. The six-acre site, which was decommissioned in 1966, comprises ten historic mansions that housed senior officers since 1848, the last remaining U.S. Navy timber shed, built in 1838, plus a parade ground and tennis courts. The city's plans to redevelop the site include a 75,000 sq. ft. supermarket, 160,000 sq. ft. of additional retail space, plus industrial space and parking. Under the current scheme only the timber shed and one of the mansions will be rehabilitated. The development plans are excessive and should be reconsidered: * Admirals Row qualifies as a landmark district in New York City, New York State, and the National Register of Historic Places. * The six-acre site, equivalent to 2.5 city blocks, has sufficient space to accommodate both preservation and development. * There has been inadequate public process. The few public hearings were not publicized and poorly attended. * The Uniform Land Use Procedure (ULURP) including 9 zoning variances, which allows for demolition of the site, was rushed through prior to title transfer, again with insufficient public involvement. * The site includes a number of old growth trees, only four to be saved in the current plan. * The planned supermarket is of a scale way beyond local requirements, and will be the largest in the City. * Planned parking provisions are insufficient. * ALL the buildings, though dilapidated, are salvageable. * Landmarking of the entire Admirals Row will preserve epochal architecture, provide a valuable local amenity, and establish a national heritage site. * The cost of rehabilitation is minor compared to the overall development scheme. * The NYC Landmarks Commission has never had the opportunity to review the status of the site. * Steps should be taken immediately to prevent further deteriation.

Ban Plastic BottlesPlastic bottles make ugly, long lasting rubbish. Some make it into our landfills, but the rest are trashing our roadsides, and endangering our wildlife. Only a very few are ever recycled and the petroleum they're made from could be put to better uses. Missourians can live without plastic bottles, but the state's natural beauty is too high a price to pay for "convenience".257 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Aaron Dougherty

Social Security Disability denying qualified people.It is heartbreaking when you hear from a lawyer that 90% of all who apply get rejected, despite medical evidence proving the inability to work due to a condition. This is damaging our economy because it is preventing our ability to spend or save that would improve the Gross Domestic Product. The fact that many feel it is an entitlement is wrong; we paid for it by paying our taxes. I am currently considered disable due to a combination of blood clots and bulging in the cervical discs. On June 14th, my muscles stiffen up and I went unresponsive. People around me thought I had a stroke (it was a LARGE muscle spasm). From that point, my doctor told me he will not clear me until the conditions that caused this to occur disappear, because the next time it will be a stroke. A year later, the flow in my brain is slightly improved, which means it may be another year before I can actually work. I got enough documentation to prove the clots were real and potentially dangerous if I get stressed, but the rejection rational is “You don’t bend, squat, walk, stand, so you can return to your company for employment.” I am a technical support person, when do we not get stressed on the call? I am 33 years old, and prior to this I had been working since I was 19. I have enough credit in the system to be eligible for social security. I have paid them each year, and when I need them: I get denied. I am currently working with a lawyer to appeal this, but it should not have to be this way. If we have the plenty of facts proving our condition that negates our ability to work, it should be enough to state “Ok, we will approve you.” Sign if you feel that SSA and our Government is doing us a great disservice by allowing this to continue.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dana Haywood

Mr. President, please help us save our jobs as flight attendantsLong before the economic tailspin, Flight attendants were being replaced with cheap labor, and to make it more palatable to our Commander and chief, and the public as well, it appears that they are only replacing foreign unionized interpreters. Instead, with the union removed, we are all slowly being replaced by "language speakers". "IT'S Discrimination!" America does not need a huge group of baby boomers collecting unemployment and retirement. instead we need our Jobs to continue helping the economy recover!!36 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Paula Brackman

Ban Plastic BagsLightweight plastic bags are ugly, they don't go away, few locales and fewer individuals recycle them and they kill wildlife when tossed into our woods and streams. We don't need them and we lived perfectly well without them only a few years ago. Missouri has a strong heritage of support for our state's natural beauty - these eye-sores have to go.127 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Aaron Dougherty
