Federal Decriminalization of Medical MarijuanaCA legalized medical marijuana and put hundreds of people to work, as well as raising huge revenues to address our multi-billion budget shortfall. Federal agents swooped down and raided dispensaries recently -- leaving patients stranded without much-needed relief from a long list of problems. President Obama had indicated he would have the Feds leave States alone on this issue.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Shara Lynn Kelsey

Do not cut Medicare, Medicaid or Social SecurityWe, the ordinary people of this country have paid in to these programs all our working lives.

Corporations Are Not People!In 1819, the Supreme Court decided, in a case entitled Dartmouth College v. Woodward that corporations had the same rights as people. That decision has been at the root of a lot of the more recent rulings which allow corporations to run roughshod over our democracy, using their almost unlimited money to fund anything they want in government, and leaving ordinary citizens with very little voice in our own government. It's time for this to stop.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nora G Rivkis

They are trying to ax jobs and benefits for their constituents, why not start with themselves.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Don Spare

Sell ice cream by weightIn the USA, ice cream is sold by volumetric measures (pint, quart, half gallon) even though it is not a liquid. This gives manufacturers an incentive to pump the product full of air in order to fill a larger container with less product. In Italy, where gelato was invented, ice cream is sold be weight. This is fairer for the consumer and results in a higher quality product.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Andrew Laurence
