Please stop mandates for vaccination!Vaccines are not without risk. Many risks are unknown even to manufacturers. Vaccinated people sometimes spread the disease to the unvaccinated. We must all have the opportunity to investigate about vaccines and to choose whether or not to be vaccinated. We own our bodies!222 of 300 Signatures

End "The War on Fat"Starting with the McGovern Commission in 1977, we have been told that a healthy diet is low in fat and high in carbohydrates. Despite a lack of scientific evidence to support these claims, the message that fat is "bad" has been repeated so many times that it is now accepted as an unquestionable truth. As a result of these misguided recommendations obesity, diabetes, and heart disease have reached epidemic proportions.670 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Tony Federico

Equal coverage of sex trafficking as given for sex scandalsMany substantive hard news stories affecting a large segment of our population are taking a backseat to sensational stories about the sexual habits of celebrities and politicians. These stories are more fitting for tabloid reporters than mainstream journalists. We are calling on the mainstream news media to give equal coverage and time to the issue of sex trafficking, which is the kidnapping of girls and women and selling them as sex slaves, as is given to sex scandals.50 of 100 SignaturesCreated by S.

Stop Double DippingAll government services (schools, libraries, police, fire, sanitation, parks, street trees, paved roads, etc.) are at risk and many services will be cut. In the meantime many public employees have full retirements from other public or private employers. If salaries were capped so that no one could earn a net greater than $150,000 from two or more jobs then many more jobs could be filled and services saved. Individual high level managers and professionals could could have net earnings more than $150,000 but only from their current employer. Now there are many public employees who receive large pensions and coupled with their current salaries earn way more than $150,000.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by martin nelson

Stop Verizon from Installing Antennas Too Close to SchoolsMany cities and school districts across the globe are demanding cell antennas be no less than 1500 feet from schools - taking precautionary measures to protect the permeable skulls of children from the potential dangers of constant electromagnetic frequency (EMF) radiation. Verizon is poised to install 9-12 cell antennas 100 feet from North Oakland Community Charter School and the thriving Destiny Community Arts Center, and around the corner from Anna Yates Elementary in Emeryville – over 1,000 children in close proximity. We are calling on Oakland’s Mayor Quan, Verizon and the property owner, McGrath Properties, to stop construction, and observe recommended precautions for our children.247 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Evie Ladin

Get a little $ back from Wall StreetWall Street was instrumental in getting the rules changed so that they could legally transfer Trillions of dollars of wealth and savings from the people of the US to their Primary Broker Businesses. This is a way to get a small proportion back to the original owners, the people, pensions, and cities of the US.51 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert Naishtat

Multiple Sclerosis License PlatesTo raise awareness about Multiple Sclerosis I would like the State of Maine to issue specialty license plates. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from one person to another.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nina Duddy

Stop Banks From Garnishing Social SecurityThe law says social security is safe from garnishment yet banks continue to do so without consequences. My social security was garnished 2 weeks after cancer surgery. I lost housing, my car, my dignity.

28th Amendment to the U.S. ConstitutionProposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution: "Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States." No one has been able to explain to me why young men and women serve in the U.S. Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting freedom, and only get 50% of their pay in retirement. While Politicians hold their political positions in the safe confines of the capital, protected by these same men and women, and receive full pay retirement after serving one term. It just does not make any sense. Monday on Fox news they learned that the staffers of Congress family members are exempt from having to pay back student loans. This will get national attention if other news networks will broadcast it. When you add this to the items below, just where will all of it stop? 35 States file lawsuit against the Federal Government. Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon them. It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention. This will take less than thirty seconds to read. If you agree, please pass it on. This is an idea that we should address. For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform ... in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn't seem logical. We do not have an elite that is above the law. I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The self-serving must stop.6,698 of 7,000 SignaturesCreated by Dale & Cheryl Parsons
