  • "We The People" Amendment to the Constitution
    The Constitution of the United States starts with "We The People." The PEOPLE have been replaced by the influence of money. This petition seeks to affirm the primacy of individual voters, born human to human parents over entities born of legal standing. Though there are many examples, large and small, the clearest indication of the need for this is the Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United. Perhaps, if we reaffirm the primacy of the voter in our rights, that Congress can then work to reform our institutions.

    The "American Jobs Act" is coming up for vote in the Senate on Tuesday, October 13.

All of these benefits are what Connecticut needs now.

  • DOMA: We Catholics Support Pres. Obama
    Archbishop Timothy Dolan (New York City) President of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued on September 20, 2011 an official plea to President Obama to "push the reset button on your Administration‟s approach to DOMA." (Defense of Marriage Act). The Archbishop speaks on behalf of the US Bishops in requesting the President's defense of DOMA instead of moving to declare it as unconstitutional. We the undersigned practicing Catholics wish to support President Obama with all due respect to our bishops and the "millions of citizens" Archbishop Dolan invokes as supporting him. Petition authored by Tom Luce, 73, Berkeley, Ca; 510-684-6163; ordained priest 1963 in Rome with S.T.L. from Gregorian Univ.; married faithfully to woman 41 years ; excommunicated/laicized against will/marriage now blessed; 3 children, 3 grandchildren; publicly declared same gender oriented, 2000 during Vermont same sex marriage legislation. Believes homosexuality is normal, healthy, natural condition capable of holy married union. Note: SignOn only allows the target to grow by 50 before upping the target. We want hundreds of thousands or more!

  • An American Investment
    This is to petition congress the Federal implementation of a solar- powered, bullet-rail system that connects all capitol cities together. As public transportation ridership is poised to peak during these economic times and with our skies becoming increasingly congested, this project can support our growing needs for travel in order to keep up with the rest of the world and remain competitive and proud to do so; much like how and why Eisenhower's highways were built. The technology exists and people are eager to start building something they can be proud of for decades to come. With the added luxury to the hard working American people to travel freely within their country for a reasonable fare ($25 coach, $1000 1st class and free transfers within the network until your destination) and the vastly innumerable benefits to our ever decaying environment this is the next step towards advancing American success. Furthermore this project will easily pay for itself becoming pure revenue (beyond reasonable overhead costs), which could go towards things like the national debt and healthcare. We don't need more money in this country, we need something big that can pay for itself quickly that can generate revenue. Lots and lots and lots of revenue. An extremely large, solar-powered public train network and its fares can do that. Talk about "get-rich-quick" and fulfilling the American Dream, eh? :)

  • Take Tasers out of Flagler County Schools
    Tasers have risks associated with their use. The law mandates that parents send their children to school. Schools act in loco parentis and are responsible for the safety of the children in their care. Parents can not Tase their children with impunity. Take the police out of the schools and hire trained unarmed security guards in their place. Students don't shed their constitutional rigbts at the schoolhouse door.

  • Medicare Coverage for Hearing Aids
    Hearing loss is almost a given for seniors and can be greatly alleviated by using hearing aids. Aids, however, are prohibitive in cost and are not covered by Medicare. The social and psychological effects of hearing loss are profound and significantly affect a person's quality of life. We're asking Congress to include a partial payment of hearing-aid cost in its coverage.

  • Downsize Executive Compensation
    Petition to organize a movement to challenge corporate America to reduce the cost and transfer these cost to other jobs. We must challenge those individuals who sit on these boards to open the market up as a corporate accountability to allow individuals to submit bids or proposals at a lower rate than are acceptable today. Executive Compensation's cost is out of control. It is draining America of jobs. Jobs = payroll taxes.
