Stop Police ViolencePlease sign this petition which will be sent to President Obama, Congress, as well as state and local committees asking them to publicly address the issue of police brutality towards citizens. This is a huge problem that must be stopped now! As citizens participating in Occupy movements all over the country practice their right to peacefully assemble and act in Civil Disobedience they are pepper sprayed, shot at with rubber bullets and bean bags, beaten, and treated violently in many other ways. We call on the president, congress, state and local committees to deal with this matter and hold officers who abuse citizens accountable for their criminal actions towards civilians.34 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Laura Murphy

Save BadgerCareThe WI Republicans want to help balance the budget by kicking 53,000 adults and children off BadgerCare. Premiums are scheduled to increase as much as 1100%. This is totally unacceptable. This will prevent people from getting cheaper healthcare earlier, and drive up costs with later expensive emergency room visits and preventable hospitalizations. Tell Gov. Walker and the Fitzgerald brothers this is unacceptable.15,767 of 20,000 SignaturesCreated by John Hardin

MDOL Revision of Work Week definition for overtime payMany employers are overlapping schedules so that one workweek overlaps into a second workweek. Because of present labor laws on over time and what is defined as a workweek, the employer is exempt from paying overtime or from giving a day off to the employees even after they've worked for 40 hours. Many employees are working 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 full time consecutive work days without a day off and with no overtime pay.53 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Linda Anthony

Capital Gains DistinctionCapital Gains, the bulk of income for the 1%, is taxed at 15%, while income from work is taxed at 15-35% PLUS 7.65% payroll tax on roughly the first $100,000. This means the marginal tax rate for the 99% is roughly 22-42%. Ending the special treatment for Capital Gains and taxing it at the same rate as wages, salaries and tips would bring Warren Buffet's tax rate in line with the rest of us.18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stephen H.
