ELIMINATE A SPECIAL INTEREST GIFTMy petition is about the most outrageous clause ever to appear in a legislative act. It prevents the prescription drug act's administration from negotiating drug prices with pharmaceutical firms. This is outright graft. A billions of dollars legislative gift to major campaign donors.59 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Larry Jaffe

Bush-Era Tax Cuts - Where are the Jobs?The justification offered by Congressional Republican leadership for refusing to consider increasing tax revenues through the suspension of the Bush-era tax cuts is that it would discourage or suppress new job creation by the benefitting industry sector and enterprise organizations. However, no analysis from independent agencies has been provided that document a net gain in new jobs created within the US, resulting from the 10+ years that the Bush-era tax cuts? have been in effect.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ronald Thomason

"I'm Fine with 49" - A Call to Reduce Debt & Deficit by Raising Taxes on Earnings Above $250,000/...In an era of unprecedented national debt and deficit, many of our elected officials adamantly refuse to raise taxes and are instead calling for additional tax cuts for the wealthiest segment of society. This distorted thinking gains tacit approval each time it is repeated and reported without critical condemnation. Citizens can and should feel free to say, "nobody likes to pay taxes, but increasing taxes on those most able to afford it is practical, necessary, reasonable - and realistically, a burden one can live with." This petition will tell the President and Congress in clear terms that many Americans support increasing taxes. A maximum marginal tax rate of 49% on earnings above $250,000 will help sustain solid social programs and gradually pay-down our debt, while allowing those earning the most money to keep most of what they make. I'm fine with 49 - are you?23 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dan Bentley

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
