Matching empty homes with homeless familiesI live next door to a home that has been abandoned for several years. My church serves meals to homeless people who sleep in their cars or outdoors. There should be a program to cover utilities and food and help them take care of the house till they can get their feet under them again and the house can be sold.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Denise Fuller

unemployment and welfare drug testingWe want our government to know that us hardworking , tax paying citizens, are fed up with paying for people to use our money for supporting thier drug habits. We have to go to jobs where we are not allowed to use drugs. Some of us are even tested ourselves. This country is in extream debt. If drug users were not recieving payments to use then im sure that would save billions of dollars a year that could be used for better things like teachers for our schools,social security,medicare, and maybe funding drug programs where the drug abusers could go to get clean and sober.37 of 100 SignaturesCreated by michael dension

Sacramento Supervisors: Stop the Costly Jail Expansion!In response to the realignment of prisoners to the county jails. Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones has proposed a $100 million expansion to the County' Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center. This expansion would add 384 expensive and unneeded beds to the County's jails. In November, the County Supervisors already approved the reopening of 275 closed cells, costing the county $5.98 million, or 46%, of the 2011-2012 realignment budget for the Sacramento County. Realignment should be utilized to expand community program s and alternatives to incarceration not to build more cages.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Californians United for a Responsible Budget (CURB)

Florida right of recallCurrently we the citizens of Florida have no legal method to get rid of the government that is bankrupting us. Our present governor has a voter satisfaction rating that is lower than any other governor and a legislature that supports or even expands on his disastrous policies.23,109 of 25,000 SignaturesCreated by Roger N.

New amendment to the constitutionThe 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971 - before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc. Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year or less to become the law of the land - all because of public pressure. Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise. In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around. Congressional Reform Act of 2011 1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. 2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose. 3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do. 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people. 6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 1/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work. If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive the message. Don't you think it's time? THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS! If you agree, pass it on. If not, delete. You are one of my 20+ - Please keep it going, and thanks Congressional reforms, term limits, retstrictions on their pensions and privilieges that they have voted for themselfs106 of 200 SignaturesCreated by mary Rando-Eberhardt

Abolish physical Restraints and 'Quiet Rooms' in all federally funded educational institutions.A child with autism that cannot speak, like my 14 year old child, was recently raped by a paraprofessional, working for the Boston public school system, while alone with the student in a quit room. With all the advances in brain science I would hope that the professionals in the field of Special Educatiion can do better than physically restraining a child with an intellectual disability, or using a closet, box, boiler room or any other seperated space to address difficult behavior. Violence begets violence, no matter how you rationalize it.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Betty Grondin-Jose

Universal Health CareThe worst part is that I have health insurance. And it still costs me over $500 per month for co-pays, prescriptions and necessary lab work not covered by my insurance. Then there is the physical therapy and chiropractic care not covered by my insurance to help eliminate enough pain so that I can continue to work. Why are the "working poor" allowed to bleed to death?3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Eileen Strangfeld

Alabama Constitutional ReformAlabama's outdated and hurtful constitution, written in 1901 to disenfranchise African Americans and poor white people, is one of the major roadblocks to equal justice and true reform in Alabama. It is the longest constitution in the world with over 800 amendments and still holds racist language and gives tremendous power to a small handful of people in Montgomery. Alabama voters deserve the right to vote for real reform through a constitutional convention. Until that happens, the most serious issues in our constitution remain off limits to reform.1,932 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Callie Greer
