Revamp the governmentOur State Constitution needs to be revisited and revised. We need to establish term limits. We need to FORBID paid lobbyists from contacting our representatives or senators - more than likely they are from out of state and really don't have our state's well being in mind -- just their pocketbooks.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cecelia Cook

AMERICA, OPEN YOUR MARKETS!While black Americans are buying from everyone - no one is buying from us! How long can our communities sustain this financial drain? Are you willing to help stop the madness by making your dollars make more sense?26 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Melvyna Gaynor

Electric Vehicles are the answer.It's just a matter of time before big oil will take all your money. Lets face it EV's are the answer. Our enonomy is hurting because of gas prices and we can do something about it. EV's are being made today with a range of 300 miles and they will get better. It's time to get our politicians out of the pockets of big oil and get Obama to offer the big three auto makers more incentives to produce lower priced EV's. The air you breath will be cleaner and the Oil Co's will hate you for buying an EV.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Doug Tourville

Constitutional Amendment to define "Personhood"We believe that a "Person" is a single entity comprised of flesh and blood. Not a conglomerate of people. We request an amendment to the Utah Constitution to remove "Personhood" status to any collective of and a ban on any rights afforded to a "Person" to any company, corporation or any other collective.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jeff Eshom

Rezoning Two Properties on Commercial StreetA hotel has been proposed in downtown Gloucester that will help our economy grow. But a small group of vocal opponents wants to hold Gloucester back. It’s time to stand up to them and say, “Enough is enough.” Gloucester needs to move forward, not backward, and create jobs and a healthy economy that will give our young people a reason to stay and visitors a reason to come here. This is about Gloucester’s future. We need your help! The hotel will go on Pavilion Beach, near where an earlier hotel stood for 65 years. The new hotel will: • Attract visitors whose spending will strengthen our downtown businesses. • Create over 100 new full-time jobs. • Generate revenue for the City from Meals, Rooms, and Property Taxes that can be spent on public safety and education. That's why we created a petition to the Planning Board and City Council that says:521 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Citizens for Positive Change

Boycott any sponsor of Rush Limbaugh and Clear Channel CommunicationsRush Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown University law student, a slut and a prostitute for advocating for women to have access to contraception, not just for birth control, but also for medical reasons. This war on women has to stop. As always, companies need to know that women have financial power and we will not support this war on women brought on by the GOP and its supporters during this election cycle.353 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Deborah Sandlaufer

Minnesota State Leaders Support Solar on Our Schools!Minnesota currently spends more than $20 billion a year importing polluting energy from other states and nations. There is no need for us to be sending all those dollars out of state when Minnesota has a vast, untapped solar resource. In fact, Minnesota ranks in the top ten for solar energy generation potential, and it’s time to take advantage!1,082 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Ken Bradley

Power to the PeopleMissouri's proposed renewable energy standard provides a chance to bring clean energy jobs to missouri, control rate hikes from utilities, and keep money in the state that is currently sent to Wyoming for coal. By 2025, Missouri investor owned utilities would be required to have 25% of their energy come from clean, renewable sources like solar, wind, and hydropower. Other states have set identical or similar goals and are well on the way to meeting them, so can we. But to do it, we need the help of volunteers gathering signatures to put this initiative on the ballot.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Campaign Against Radical Rate Increases

Petition To Revoke Timeline On Facebook Fan Pages"On 30 March 2012, all Facebook Pages will get a new design." -Facebook This new design is the same ugly "Timeline" available for personal pages, except on March 30th our fan pages will permanently change. The "Timeline" design will make our pages look the same as a personal page and will confuse fans and potential fans. This all together will make it harder on the average artist/page owner. We need to stop this, or at least make it optional!61 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kyle McFadden

Don't use public resources to build a Downtown arenaThe proposed leveraging of publicly-held resources for up to 50 years to pay for an arena is the wrong choice to make at this time in Sacramento's history. Those funds would be better used to put more police officers on the street, keep firefighters on the job, fix our crumbling infrastructure, and restore the services that have been slashed for our city parks and other amenities.899 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Sacramento Citizen

Spirituality 101-- ClassesMy petition would start classes from high school, to college. A single class would enable the student to obeserve themselves, in the mirror. Too many times, have I seen a sucessful-educated person, who has no idea; what life is really about. So I propose we introduce classes in school systems. Having children talk about: character issues, pride, fear, ego etc. Teach our children that: big cars, golf memberships and fancy ties; will not find you complete happiness. Imagaine the effects on the ecomonoy, in the long-run. Divorces woud go down; crime-rate decreased; TAXES would go down; so much more. So I move to have a form of classes introduced to our systems, to better improve our children's tomorrow.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Johann Schart

Everybody Needs Safe WaterIllinois has many watersheds that are not safe for drinking. There are very few inspectors to keep track of all of the water supplies and unfortunately, they often do not follow through with giving citations to communities that are in clear violation of EPA drinking standards and are not aggressive enough about expecting those in violation to make necessary changes to ensure safe drinking water. Contaminants such as vinyl chloride from nearby landfills, dangerous levels of nitrates, water not treated for bacteria, and nuclear plants leaking radiation into groundwater are examples of what people unknowingly drink everyday. Please regulate the water supply appropriately and expect water inspectors to issue citations as needed and not turn a blind eye to them, our health depends on it, as water is a basic human necessity! Please make budget cuts someplace else that does not effect the health and safety of Illinois residents any further!2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Angie Staft
