• Tell DOJ to Block Discriminatory Voter ID Laws
    The largest rollback in voting rights in over a century is now underway. A wave of restrictive laws passed in 13 states will mean that next year as many as 5 million Americans could find voting difficult, and even impossible. With even more states considering such legislation, the voting rights of over 21 million Americans nationwide could come under attack. In 2011, 38 states proposed legislation designed to make it harder to vote at every step of the process. New laws restrict the forms of ID allowed to vote, reduce early voting, place restrictions on voter registration, and deny voting rights to Americans with criminal records who have paid their debt to society—measures that disproportionately impact African Americans, Latinos, senior citizens, people with disabilities, and young voters. Sign this petition to Attorney General Eric Holder asking the Justice Department to enforce the Voting Rights Act and intervene to stop discriminatory voting laws. Visit advancementproject.org for more information on protecting our voting rights.

  • Americans deserve to know the truth!
    There have been so many lies spread about President Obama - both personally and professionally. A website has been created in Palm Beach County whose soul intention is to tell the truth about the accomplishment of this President and to state the "pants on fire" and other lies spread and point the finger at the person who spread the lies.

  • Reclassify Cannabis
    The DEA misclassified Cannabis (marijuana) as a Schedule I forbidden drug (same scheduling as heroin) in 1970. This has never been corrected and Cannabis cannot become federally legal until it is rescheduled by Congress or by the U S Attorney General.

  • Congress Must Cut Its Salaries, Benefits.
    Congress is poised to cut medicare, social security, medicaid, planned parenthood and other key social programs. Taxpayers pay for high salaries, benefits, pensions for Members of Congress. We demand that Congress begin its budget-cutting by: 1. Reducing their salaries by 40%. 2. Eliminating all pensions, including former members, but enabling them to be eligible for social secuirty. 3. Eliminate free gym and other privileges. 4. Eliminate Congress's taxpayer subsidized health care, mandating they purchase healthcare insurance from their home states. Taxpayers can no longer afford these costs.

  • Stop deportations! Keep families together!
    This country is a country of immigrants. We need comprehensive immigration reform WITH a pathway to citizenship. Mass deportations that separate families and detentions in private prisons for the sole purpose of profit are inhumane. I encourage Obama to keep his campaign promise to push for immigration reform.

  • End the cap on Social Security contribution.
    Start taxing all wages including those above $106k. It's unfair to exempt wages over the cap. The cap has been raised every year since the early '70s. Removing it permanently will save the system.

  • Veto Cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid
    Do not sign the Super Committee's bill to make cuts to Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid. These are not property of the Congress or Senates to play with as they wish. They are insurance policies that the American people have paid for during their working lives.
