• Repeal Government Pension Offset (GPO) and Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP)
    I am a retired public school teacher. I worked for 27 years in a public school district Ohio. I am also a widow. My late husband paid into Social Security and was fully vested. Because Ohio is one of the states affected by the Government Pension Offset (GPO), I cannot receive widow's benefits. If I had worked in a state not affected by GPO, I would be eligible to receive widow's benefits. Many retired public employees in the states listed above cannot receive Social Security benefits that were paid for by themselves or their deceased spouses. We are asking the 115th United States Congress to repeal GPO and WEP.

  • Demand that pulp & paper giant APP keep its promises
    I have recently learned of APP’s links to PT BRS in Bangka Belitung and of APP’s intention to bring the company on as a supplier. I am calling on APP to implement its policies and respect the rights and demands of the people of Bangka Belitung who have rejected pulp and paper plantations on their traditionally owned land.

  • Support Fat Fast Fashion
    With the majority of women in America (67%) being considered plus-sized, many clothing brands still do not cater to this market. Companies such as J. Crew should cater to larger sized people to support both fashion and socially responsible endeavors.

  • Stop the CSX cargo trains from blowing horn during night time and early morning hours
    We live in Gaithersburg and many communities are situated around the CSX train lines. This is unavoidable due to urban development and housing costs. We ask that the cargo trains have a little consideration when blowing their horns because many of us have young children that need their sleep.

    I'm starting this petition because when I was younger, I bought the ticket to support their harming of these extraordinary creatures, and now I'd like to return it for a better deal. I would like to return it for their lives in the wild where we all know they want and deserve to be.

    These veterans fought for their country and thought that their country would help them recover, but their country turned its back because of a wrongful action the veteran may not have had control over.

  • MD Governor Candidates to Release their Taxes
    Trump has destroyed the political norms of our country and it is up to us to be the beacon of what good governance can be. The first step a candidate can do to prove that they are not like Trump is to do what he didn't, release their taxes. Demonstrate to those they want to represent that they have no other interest but to better the lives of those they would represent.
