Free Press....free of corporate/private ownership!For our media outlets to ever be truly "free" they must be free of the shakles of those "owners" who influence what is and isn't told to the American people. Move ownership of all corporate mass media news outlets into the holding hands of "blind-trusts" that are then not allowed to influence journalists freedoms to report the truth as they see it!16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Darrell Ernest Rolstone

Please Help Stop the 100Ft Cell Tower at DPW!The town of Watertown is proposing a 100 ft Cell tower at the local DPW on Orchard St. This is across from Lowell Elementary, next to Victory Field, and surrounded by many residential homes. The area may not actually need a full tower to bridge any dead/soft zones. Other solutions (smaller/less impact) may be possible. Our children may be at risk! Market values on homes nearby will be negatively impacted. Please consider signing the petition so that the Town Council will understand that the town and residents do not need/want this 100ft tower. Please look into all alternatives! The Town hired an agency to map cell coverage who found the town had good coverage. March 20th 2014 5:15-7pm Town Hall meeting to review the document to allow Cell Towers/Antennas on public land! This document makes many assumptions. The first and main being that we want and need a 100ft Tower! Please Attend!231 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Kate Coyne

Flat TaxA simple solution to the debt crisis is to implement a 10% income tax on all gross earnings for individuals, private companies, and corporations. This is fair and affordable for all. No more deductions or loop holes. No more tax dodging. The $20,000 threshold would benefit those living at the povery level. Many economist have proposed this solution. NOW IS THE TIME TO IMPLEMENT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by William Turley

Stop Fracking in ArkansasStop hydraulic fracturing in Arkansas. The gas industry in Arkansas is self regulated by nine members who work in the gas industry. Drilling, disposal, transportation, and environmental pollution and destruction are occurring at a uncontrollable rate. The laws are not in place to protect our air, water, noise, and landowner's rights. The wells are being placed where the Buffalo National River and Greers Ferry Lake (an Army Corps of Engineers lake) could be contaminated.1,268 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Amanda Rodgers

STOP PLAYING POLITICS WITH ENDANGERED SPECIESFor the first time in history, Congress recently passed legislation (hidden in the Budget bill) that stripped Endangered Species Act protections for one particular species, putting politics above sound science and our national commitment to conserving America's wildlife. Wolves were reintroduced into areas of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, under the Clinton Administration and Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt. Since then, studies on area elk and wolves find that weather and hunter harvest affect elk declines more than wolf predation. Wolves often enhance prey populations by culling weak and sick animals from the gene pool, leaving only the strongest animals to reproduce. But many western politicians, such as Idaho Governor Butch Otter, despise wolves and want to eradicate them to placate the hunting and ranching lobbies. This provision has set a terrible precedent that could be regarded as an invitation to strip protections for any other endangered species that a politician finds inconvenient to protect. Grizzly bears, salmon, whales, polar bears, and Florida manatees and panthers are just examples of those that could be at risk30 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Shelley Czeizler

Social Security for Public EmployeesAs long as the Government is for the Government and not for the people it can never be a fair and good government. When their entitlements are the same as the peoples entitlements then we will all be working together instead of working for one group or the other. The government will then be working for the good of all it's citizens. Let's start with Social Security. All public employees will retire on Social Security and the government will not have separate plans.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kenneth J. Cox

Special Murdoch ProsecutorAn attempt to inspire the sort of investigation which has proven invaluable whenever official channels be clogged with influence peddling and favoritism of the sort manifest in the UK (and not exactly unheard of on these shores). Specifically, the appointment of a Special Prosecutor to plumb the depths of News Corp, wherever the trail leads throughout the Murdoch realm.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Clovis Bowden
