Impose a one cent federal sales tax on stock market transactions.

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.

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!

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? :)

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.

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.

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.

This change the name of some people who are referred to as African-American or Black-American because we are neither one..When a person from Africa become a citizen then he become a African-American reguarless of skin color..The people from the caribbean west indnia american.The AUTHENTIC AMERICAN this is home we are not going to attack our home and beside these people seperate themselves from us if they can.Look at all big city ethnic networking will destroy the country.

Government must force big oil to put "service" back into gas stations. Saw an incredibly elderly woman trying to gas up her car and clean her windows. She held up a whole lane at the gas kiosk ... she was there when I drove up and still trying to clean her windshields when I left. How can fat-cat oil execs sleep at night forcing a senior citizen to do this? a) Given that proper tire pressure and regular oil changes help improve gas mileage, why - in this time of great conservation efforts on all parts - would the USA allow oil companies to remove "service" from gas stations? b) How can government approve of Big Oil charging consumers for AIR (I was refused air at a service I frequent because I wasn't BUYING gas that day) and water - basic car maintenance (and bicycle riding) items? c) Why is it OK for the State of Oregon to OUTLAW "self-serve" yet the rest of the USA citizenry must deal with wasting gas on clothes, etc.? RETURN SERVICE to gas stations: add attendants - not doing so is greedy, unscrupulous, environmentally negligent on the side of government and business, and just plain totally WRONG.

With so many people pot of work coupled with the need to rebuild America;s cunbling infrastructure, We urge evrybody to sign this petition in support of President

A piggyback to the petition on the D.R. show on MSMBC. I believe these petitions must be Sate by State to have the greatest effect on Congress, because all politics is local.

Do Not Support The Florida (un)Fair Foreclosure Act

There is a free bus system between remote points in Northern New Mexico, only the times they run do not work for those seeking jobs in Taos or Espanola. Consequently the state loses income they could have from those who could work but have no way of getting in at earlier times from sites like Dixon among others. The state also ends up paying more in entitlements because the people can not get jobs. Now it comes around 10 am so no one can get a job that begins earlier.
