Please tell the Maine Legislature to fix, not gut, the Maine Clean Elections Act.Due to a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling, Maine lawmakers have to make changes to the MCEA. They are considering doing nothing, which would effectively end Clean Elections in Maine. Tell them you want them to find a solution that keeps our elections where they belong: In the hands of the Citizens of Maine.1,799 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Joe Madore

Eliot Spitzer for Treasury SecretaryConvincing President Obama and Congress to replace Timothy Geitner with Eliot Spitzer as Treasury Secretary. We need someone who is removed from Wall Street, yet knows how they operate, to oversee the American financial markets. As New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer took on Wall Street and won. We need his leadership at Treasury. He's paid his dues for his misdeeds, he is too valuable to not be involved in government.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Swami Prem Kavyo

President Obama: Give Us Back Our Basic RightsSince 2001, the United States government has been passing strange laws which seriously impose on our basic rights and go so far as to nullify many of the provisions laid out in the United States Constitution, most notably the first ten, our Bill of Rights. The Patriot Act, as well as the recent National Defense Authorization Act is illegal according to what we as a country have upheld as universal laws since the formation of out nation. It is morally wrong and schizophrenically obdurate to continue to wave our flag of freedom while systematically infringing upon the sovereignty of other nations who do not follow the 'inalienable' rights ideals which we in turn do not adhere to as a people. Tell President Obama to amend the constitution so that laws which conflict with provisions of the US Constitution are not only 'unconstitutional' but simply cannot pass or exist and will not be tolerated or enforced by any branch or 'bureau' of the United States government or its 'employees' on the basis that they are utterly unacceptable and unquestionably immoral.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by scott fowler

ChemtrailsMy petition is about what is going on in our skies with planes spraying these trails for miles day and night. We need to know who is doing it and why. We need independent tests to see what damage it is causing then we need to get it stopped. If it is not doing us any damage why is there no information from the government about it?130 of 200 Signatures

SB 131 Ohio Dog LawSB 131 puts unecessary, costly hardship on the best breeders in Ohio. Some will lose their businesses. Pup prices will skyrocket and most people will not be able to afford a quality purebred dog. The huge puppy mills who produce thousands of pups a year will be able to afford the changes and will still be in business.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Barbara Barham

Tax Wall Street Earnings like Income TaxWall Street earnings are at record highs, yet they pay a much lower tax rate than the middle-class American's income tax rate. Our education system is crumbling, states cannot afford to keep parks open, people cannot afford to earn a living as an artist, and we are less able to create and enjoy cultural activities. We want to see Wall Street earnings taxed like Income Tax and funnel the revenue to fund education, parks & recreation, arts & entertainment, and other cultural activities.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Susan Butner

New York State Legislature: Follow the Fair Redistricting Rules You Have Agreed OnLegislative districts determine who represents us and the boundaries of the districts. A bi-partisan committee of New York State’s legislators are currently holding hearings on the redistricting that occurs every 10 years following the census results. They have passed a resolution for sensible districts but it won't go into effect until after 2020! Now they are trying to "run out the clock" for this process in an effort to protect incumbents.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael J. Reichert

Ban Political AdsPolitical ads cost millions of dollars to spread misinformation, exagerations and quotes out of context. The public hates them. The televised debates provide what we need to know about the candidates. So, why not call for a ban on political advertisement, similar to the ban on tobacco advertisement? Fellow citizens, please demand an end to all political ads.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by gail sabbadini

Comcast: Allow Customers to Choose Channels CheaperMillions of people are not given choices as to what channels they want to watch and end up paying for numerous channels they don't watch at the discretion of Comcast. I believe I am at the mercy of Comcast in having to pay expensive monthly service fees for channels that I never watch nor care to watch. Why can't this company say they will provide channels at $2.00 a month and we can choose our stations and charges. I don't have any experience with dish TV but they are the probably similar. It seems ludicrous that if I want to enjoy cable TV, I have to accept these outrageous charges for channels I don't watch. Policymakers in Washington, please help us (especially those on fixed incomes) to direct cable companies to provide affordable, sensible consumer specific services.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by D. G.

To ensure that all high schools have intact feeder patterns. 6. To recommend that the closing of any schools in SW Atlanta or building of any new schools in North Atlanta are tabled until we fully use all the facilities in APS we currently have. 7. To increase the level of rigor and instruction with all school programs so parents will send their children to their neighborhood schools and not across town. 8. To ensure that all school structures are safe. 9. To ensure that schools offer summer and after school programs or work in conjunction with local YMCA's in the neighborhoods. 10. To ensure that equality for all schools is reached to it's highest potential and that we aren't solely dependent on one area of the city for success & we look to all schools of APS to be successful.74 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jason B.
