Senator McConnell has, at every turn, sabotaged the efforts of the President and Congress to create jobs, including a filibuster to prevent even a portion of the President's jobs bill from being voted on. It's more important to him to defeat the President in 2012 than it is to feed an estimated 10 million American children who are "food insecure", or to help the millions of Americans who have no work and/or are losing their homes to foreclosure. He has utterly disregarded his solemn oath to "well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God."

Tell Mayor Ed Lee to stop the midnight raids on the Occupy SF encampment and the violent police crackdown.

Give people the right to protest wherever and whenever they want rather than going by codes and permits. No police interference unless riots break out. Right to occupy any public space without police interference.

Pennsylvania is faced with a budget crisis due to poor management. With this single amendment Pennsylvania lost 12 million tax dollars annually. Rendell vetoed this amendment for that very reason. Since then, the legislative branch and governor Corbett have acted shortsightedly with no regard for our budget or our rights as citizens using extreme cases of abuse of synthetic cannabis and use by minors as reason to pass the nations strictest state law in effect. By signing this petition you agree that this amendment should be rescinded. Let's send a clear message in the amount of several hundred thousand voices that we disagree with their recent decision.

This pledge gives FOCUS to the 99% protests by GETTING MONEY OUT OF POLITICS. Any legislator failing to sign the pledge should be OPPOSED IN A 2012 PRIMARY by a protester willing to stand up and file for election.

Basic Change everyone can get behind. Read the key points above. I did not write them, I do not know who did. Is it perfect? No, but the message is good. Let's make Congress work for the People of the United States of America!

Almost three decades of experience defining the limits of antiretroviral therapy and identifying key mechanisms of disease progression compels the development of new clinical approaches to address HIV infection. Even a modestly effective therapeutic vaccine would result in meaningful increases in life expectancy and delays in disease progression in people living with HIV on HAART and would allow us to drastically reduce the disparity and non- ability to provide HIV treatment to the more than 50% of individuals around the world living with HIV who still have no access to antiretroviral therapy. Recent data on a number of therapies in advanced stages of clinical development have shown them to be promising candidates for the treatment of HIV and warrant further investigation and support, as well as remind the community that the development of an effective therapeutic vaccine could lead to a functional cure. Therefore, we call for a reform of the international research agenda to prioritize therapeutic vaccine research and ensure that it is properly funded and proceeds rapidly and coherently.

Since the Republicans party has shown that they are not willing to do their jobs or listen to the will of the people!. By obstructing every attempt to improve this country's Economic and Employment situation! And buy not creating A single job since they have been in session! I pledge to put them on the unemployment lines!!!

The world wars could not be funded by taxation alone; hence, the idea of selling government war bonds was an appeal to patriotic Americans to help their country. We are now involved in an Economic War, and here is an idea of how middle class Americans can do what Congress won't do - - invest in the infrastructure and get Americans back to work: Working and retired Americans have money sitting in CD's and in retirement systems, either losing money or making very low interest. Allow individuals to withdraw a portion (no more than $5,000) with no penalties or taxes to buy short-term Recovery Bonds at a higher rate than they're presently making. Invest this money (at a better rate) in the infrastructure to create jobs, thereby helping the economy and the country recover. Sell the bonds through credit unions, bypassing big banks! Working and retired Americans should be allowed to withdraw these monies without penalty or taxation, either on taking the money out or putting it back in when the bond matures. Let us do what Congress won't do!

Making congress accountable!!!!

Petition for a federal law to make a policy on the medical treatment of transsexuals. I would want these laws to follow the international Standard of Care version 7 (http://www.thisishow.org/Files/soc7.pdf).

Congress should have to live by the same rules as all citizens.
