Insurance is becoming too expensive for most people these days, and more selective about who they will insure - and this trend will only get worse, even as our population needs it more than ever with unemployment being so high. We need a solution that is palatable to all political sides. If insurance companies are forced to become non-profit organizations, they will not be able to take monetary advantage of us any longer, and we will all be able to find affordable health insurance coverage.

On May 16, 2010, a Detroit police Special Response Team, being filmed by A&E's First 48 reality show, firebombed the home of seven-year-old Aiyana Stanley-Jones in Detroit, and shot her in the head, killing her. There has been world-wide outrage at this murder, but to date, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy has brought no charges against Police Officer Joseph Weekley, who fired the fatal shot, or anyone else from the police department and city government (which had contracted with The First 48), in this child's death. This qualifies as a first-degree murder because police had ample opportunity to arrest the person they were seeking, who did not live in Aiyana's home, previously the same day, but waited until the cameras were rolling. Weekley fired immediately upon entrance into the home in a poor Black east-side neighborhood.

With Millions out of work and infrastructure decomposing around the country Congress is still dragging their feet to help out the citizens of this country while still catering to the wealthy. President Obama has proposed the American Jobs Act which calls for a hefty investment in America's infrastructure, in our schools, in labor and calls for tax increases on those who can afford not on the working class. We are calling on Congress to pass the American Jobs Act with out delay so we can start rebuilding America's Infrastructure and start getting Americans back to work.

A mother had her baby removed 2 years ago and accused of neglect. It was subsequently found that her daughter had the rare and incurable condition Osteogenesis Imperfecta (Brittle Bone Condition). This disorder is caused by a mutation in the genes and the mother has been tested and is not a carrier of the mutated gene. However, despite this the social services are blind to this diagnosis and are pushing to have the baby placed for forced adoption against the mothers wishes. Due to restrictions in the UK family courts, which are held in secret without a jury I am not allowed to mention the mothers name or anything else to do with the case before the court.

This is the Social Security tax. It's how Social Security gets its income. Social Security has been a strong program because it has a dedicated income source--the "payroll" tax. We don't want to cut this tax! Social Security needs all the income it can get, because the benefits being paid out are now exceeding the income from taxes.

There are millions of pages of information, videos, scientific reports, news articles, personal accounts, expert testimony, and a generally overwhelming volume of information on the known and yet-unknown dangers and proven health risks of consuming GMO products and the millions of tons of highly toxic pesticide, RoundUp, with which they are drenched. Please sign this petition insisting on our basic human right to know and CHOOSE what we ingest. Demand mandatory labeling of all GMO ingredients (including animal products from animals fed GMO) so we can exercise our freedom of CHOICE!

SignOn.Org now has no option for editing the petition text without deleting it or omitting the recipients listed. The president of The Conservancy has communicated to me that it's membership's wishes are that there be no name change and no one's name appear on the title of The Coast to Crest Trail and Jerry's wife concurs. I hereby withdraw my pursuit in changing that trail's name, and this petition will not be delivered to either recipient. This petition will be left online for now, and if you support honoring Jerry Schad in a positive way proportional to the magnitude of his contributions that has the blessings of those who were closest to him, then sign this petition. I'll leave it to others to decide what that will be, and will decline any leadership role in that process. http://rparky.tumblr.com/post/11004273422/honoring-jerry-schad

Help job seekers and their families get over job search hurdles and get back to work. Support the middle class who are falling through the cracks because they do not qualify for assistance even while collecting unemployment. Families and whole communities are grieving over the loss of so many jobs that it takes each community to step up and take care of those living in your community. As part of living in your community everyone should have a place to go that can help with job search assistance, career management solutions and support for everyone in the family during difficult times. Local job clubs can and do provide those services, often for free and with no funding. Community Job Clubs can be the front door to connect local talent with local businesses and local businesses with local talent. The One Stop fits all doesn't work. Let's work together to get people back to work.

By signing this petition you are letting our Police Department, and our local, state, and US government know that It is unacceptable to be harassed, brutalized, or killed at the hands of the people that are hired with our tax dollars to protect us!

This legislation would lift the Social Security Payroll tax cap on all income over $250,000 a year, would require millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share into the Social Security Trust Fund, and extend the program for the next 75 years.
