Stand Up for Troops on Veterans DayHundreds of predatory lenders target & then literally rob American soldiers while they fight to defend our nation. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was created to protect our troops, but it can’t do its job until it has a director. Right now, Senate Republicans are busy playing politics, & refusing to confirm Richard Cordray's nomination. On Veterans Day, we will deliver our petition to the Senate GOP demanding that they quit playing games & support our troops.228 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Murphy for PA

Save the WoodsThere is a small area of land that is untouched by humans. There are beautiful trails, beautiful trees, and it's a small place for many animals to call there home. Every fall, hundreds of birds flock to these woods for a quick food stop as they migrate. This area needs to stay up so that it isn't sold when housing development pushes through. This area of land is located in Hampshire, IL. I want to get permission from him to survey the land myself.113 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Robert Jacobs

Allow Injured workers to Reopen workers Compensation ClaimsInjuries received on the job may cause health problems later on in life. Workers who find that previous injuries prevent them from obtaining employment, or giving rise to new health damages should be able to re-open their claims to receive their proper compensation. This will encourage insurance companies to insist on discovering/ disclosing all health outcomes to workers.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mark Bales

As the mother of a child, I've been preoccupied lately with education, with health care, with housing.

Abolish Corporate PersonhoodThe doctrine of corporate personhood that has been enacted and supported by the Supreme Court, most recently through their ruling in the Citizens United case, has allowed small groups of people (i.e. corporate boards of directors, CEOs, etc) with access to large amounts of cash to have an outsized influence on our governmental policies. This influence was a direct cause of the Financial Crisis of 2007-8, and time and again has brought this country and the world ever closer to true economic, ecological and social catastrophe.50 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Greg Schneiderman
