We can target tea party functions, bringing loud noisemaking equipment under our trenchcoats. At a prearranged signal we can make NOISE! Our T-shirts can read American Dream. ANYONE can do this. It costs little money, little energy and little risk. LET'S MAKE NOISE!20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Caryn

Stop the slaughter of 5,000 black bears in WisconsinBlack bears are peaceful, shy beings who live in harmony with nature, but the state agencies are killing brokerages. Wholesale destruction of the natural world and other species is the really important issue now. The slaughter, over packs of dogs and bait, and 20,000 hounders and their dogs, starts Sept. 5 - Oct. 9, 2012. The DNR is promoting running packs of dogs on bears starting July 1 through the kill - for 15 weeks of disruption of all ecosystems. Bears need to put on fat for winter hibernation to take care of their babies. We must ORGANIZE for change now.2,654 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Patricia Randolph

Hold healthcare executives responsibleHold healthcare executives responsible for the damage they have done to people. In my case these people need to be charged with attempted murder, nothing more nothing less.43 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jo Joshua Godfrey

Save military pensionsRight now the Department of Defense and Congress are targeting military pensions as a cost saving effort. Military members who have been in less than 20 years but planning on retiring would have their entire retirement wiped away in a pen stroke, replaced with a 401(K) system. As a military spouse I am calling on President Obama, Congress and the Department of Defense to find spending cuts elsewhere and provide our military families the safety of a pension so they can be sure they have enough to live on later in life.23 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nicole Poore

Forgive Hopeless Student Loan DebtThere is a cancer growing on the students of America. This cancer is so malicious and resolute that it keeps millions of Americans impoverished for the rest of their lives. The cancer, of which we speak, is the aggressive collection practices used by student loan lenders (mostly the US Department of Education) against borrowers incapable of repaying their loans.226 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Charles Lundquist

Just Say No To The Return Of Jim CrowRepublicans and members of the Tea Party are determined to destroy this nation and blaming it on President Obama. We have not recovered from the policies of President Bush and the attacks we are taking from these conservatives should be considered nothing less than Home-Grown Terrorism! We are calling on President Obama to be diligent in protecting us from these Republican Tea Party attacks.35 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Eric R. McCarroll

BRING BACK BALANCE- SHARE THE BURDENWE ARE ALL TIRED OF THE GRIDLOCK IN WASHINGTON AND ATTEMPTS TO BALANCE OUR BUDGET ON THE BACKS OF OUR ELDERLY, DISABLED AND POOR. WE HAVE BEEN AT THE BRINK OF DISASTER AS WE WERE HELD HOSTAGE BY THOSE WHO FEEL THE BURDEN SHOULD NOT BE SHARED BY ALL AMERICANS. THE REPUBLICANS HAVE SENT THEIR MOST CONSERVATIVE MEMBERS TO THE SUPER COMMITTEE. WE WANT TO WORK WITH THOSE WILLING TO COMPROMISE, NOT OBSTRUCT.22 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mary Ciddio

Official EnglishThe objective is to make English the official language of the United States. English unifies us, a Tower of Babel separates us. When everyone shares a common language, they better understand each others meaning. As S. I. Hayakawa said, "You guys are both saying the same thing. The only reason you're arguing is because you're using different words".44 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Spartican

Term and Benefits Limits for CongressAll members of Congress should have term limits: Senators should be elected for not more than two terms of three years each, and Representatives should be elected for no more than two terms of three years each. Their benefits, including health care and pension, should be terminated at the time they are replaced. In this way, the members who run the government will know EXACTLY how the rest of the America middle class lives.46 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David L. Meth

NO MORE FRACKING WITHOUT ACCOUNTABILITYResidents' drinking water, health, and property values are being systematically destroyed as a result of carcinogens, neurotoxins, endocrine disruptors and radioactive material in the fluid used in, and waste water resulting from, the new hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" process of horizontal drilling for natural gas wells all over the country. We are likewise concerned about over-projections of reserves by the natural gas and finance industries, and the likelihood that it is causing yet another economic bubble ready to burst and further damage our nation's economy. We demand that our state assembly bring a halt to all new drilling until the EPA's cumulative impact study is complete, and we demand that our congress repeal exemptions to the Clean Air Act and Safe Drinking Water Act granted to the natural gas industry in the 2005, so that they will again be regulated by the EPA. We further call for an end to corporate welfare funded by our tax dollars to these corporations, and demand that our state and federal governments hold accountable every corporation responsible for drinking water contamination, the health effects endured by individuals and families in communities affected by natural gas drilling, and inflated projections of reserves that put us at increased risk in this fragile economy.59 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Noël Jones
