• Marriage Equality for New Jersey
    “Should two adults in New Jersey, not of The Same Blood line, and of sound mind be able to enter into a Mutually Exclusive Marriage Contract; Yes or No?” If the majority of all citizens in New Jersey want their marriage recognized by the state of New Jersey, they would have to vote yes. If the majority of citizens don’t care to have their marriage recognized by the state of New Jersey, and the benefits that go with a state recognized marriage, they can vote no. Since this is a referendum to the New Jersey State Constitution, no marriage would be grandfathered, and no marriage would be exempted. This would be a straight up or down vote by every citizen in New Jersey. If the Majority vote’s No, New Jersey would cease to recognize state issued marriage licenses, and any New Jersey Law referencing Marriage would be removed from New Jersey statutes. The question on the New Jersey ballot would be phrased as such: ““Should two adults in New Jersey, not of The Same Blood line, and of sound mind be able to enter into a Mutually Exclusive Marriage Contract; Yes or No?”

  • Reasonable Political Contributions Petition
    Decades ago, income tax filers could elect to donate a dollar or not to donate a dollar to Political Groups in order to seek the most honest and qualified Presidential Candidate and provide support at a very reasonable financial level. Currently, lobbyists, paid by large corporations, outspend and control our Country's political appetite with greed as their ultimate goal. This is very wrong! Let's do something about this issue NOW!

  • Aubrey's Law
    My daughter (19 months old at the time) was severely injured, and the state of Kansas doesn't have strict enough punishing guidelines for child abusers that are first time offenders. I don't believe that someone who hurts a baby deserves a second chance. Help create this law. Children deserve a future. The current laws are placing children back into the hands of abusive parents, and putting the abusers back on the streets. My daughter survived, others aren't as lucky. This has to end.

  • Make the Tax Code Fair and Protect MaineCare
    It makes no sense to dole out massive new tax cuts to the wealthy while stripping low-income and disabled Mainers of needed healthcare services and consequently putting 4,400 healthcare providers out of work. At no time since the Great Depression have America’s wealthy elite enjoyed a lower tax rate then they do right now. Tell your legislators and Governor LePage you want the wealthiest 1% to pay their fair share.

  • Obama foreclosure deal is windfalll for Big Banks
    The proposed foreclosure settlement deal Obama is pressuring state Attorneys General to go along with would only give you $20,000 off your principal amount due. So many middle class families are underwater by $50,000-$200,000. They will still be underwater if this settlement is finalized. In addition, $1,400 may be awarded in cases where there is clear fraud by the banks. This is simply wrong and again rips off the average homeowner struggling to keep his head above water. Don't let them get away with robbing us again. Please sign this petition and send a message that says "No" to Wall Street influence on a foreclosure deal.

  • President Obama: Reform Environmental Impact Assessment
    Environmental impact assessments – supposed to predict the likely impacts of proposed projects on the environment under laws like the U.S. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) are today routinely performed by for-profit consulting firms working for the proponents of the projects whose impacts they are supposed to predict. As a result, they are often if not always biased toward minimizing project impacts, though often only after extensive, expensive, sometimes unnecessary study. Critical public comments on such assessments are routinely dismissed without serious consideration. This leads to disasters like the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe. The system badly needs reform.
