I watch 60 Minites on CBS TV and it is shocking in a Democratic society that unemployed workers are discriminated against in this recession. The banks have caused this delima. Can we take a stand against employers who placed adds on the internet and news papers stating that "the unemployed need not apply. I am calling on the President and the Secratary of Labor and the NAACP and all of us to take action

Chemical Agriculture is the smoking gun over lost pollinators. DuPont, Monsanto et.al. have damaged sustainable family farming leading to bad water, bleached soil and tainted crops that infect natural food strains while further exploiting global populations with food copywriting, effectively 'snuffing out' non-chemical farmers. Reinvesting in natural seed banks, portioning out land for soil reclamation and promoting smaller size farmsteading can reinvigorate a sustainable agriculture.

There is no way we can continue to fight over revenue and succeed.Just as a household has to have salary our federal and state governmetns must increase taxes to pay for needed programs .Tell Congress to raise taxes now!!!

I believe we have a one man one vote democracy. Therefore I believe all people that served there debt to scoiety upon completion of there prison term , should have the right to vote.

With all the controversey over Religious organizations not wanting to cover birth control, it's time to change the name to what it really is - "Hormone Assisted Therapy." Many women use this therapy for non contraceptive reasons, ie migraines, polysistic overy syndrome, heavy periods, acne... and so.

WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO: Create a specific Federal agency to help people fight medical and dental Insurance companies denial of payments. This petition is to request the Federal government to create an agency for the purpose of protecting the consumer from medical and dental insurance denials of payments to providers. Currently, each state has a department of Insurance that is charged with compliance of the Insurance laws, but more often then not they side with the insurance companies reason for denial. The consumer has no recourse but to try and resolve the denial through court. We need a consumer protection agency to be an advocate for unscrupulous medical and dental companies that find a way to deny payment of covered services.

The cap on earnings for people who draw social security before normal retirement age, when congress is crying that the program is going broke.

This is important for the future of our children.

Recent restrictions on voting by many state legislatures are a blot on democracy. Voting should be easy and encouraged.

It is time for the US to regulate the practices of debt collectors. In todays economic climate many good, hardworking people find themselves deep in financial trouble as a result of things they cannot control. Jobs that have been lost or have been replaced with jobs that do not pay a living a wage, reduced or no benefits, rapidly escalating prices of items essential to survival, there are so many people who have worked all their lives and faithfully paid their debts, but now find themselves unable to keep up payments they were able to afford just a few years ago. The resulting feeding frenzy by debt collectors is unprecedented in its savagery. These collectors literally thumb their noses at any notion of fair debt collection practices, and their activities are no less than unlawful harassment of people already pushed to the limit theri circumstances. It is time for the US government to regulate the collection industry and to require debt collectors to treat those who are genuinely trying to pay their debts with the respect that they have earned. Just because people are struggling should not mean they no longer have rights. Yes there is a federal debt collections practises act, but far too many collectors, especially bank employees ignore these practices and laugh at the idea that they have any limits to what they can do.Many companies do not even require their collectors to know there are limits at all.
