PETITIONS

Demand Justice for Benghazi BetrayalAlmost 140,000 Letters and Emails Sent So Far

So far, almost 140,000 patriots have sent a message to D.C. by signing this petition demanding answers regarding Benghazi. Now they are beginning to cover up the cover up... Help us continue to demand justice for those lives lost in Benghazi by signing this petition. After you sign it, share it with everyone you know on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or any other outlet you can think of! Can we get to 150,000 signatures before the weekend is over or even bigger numbers?

Sign our Petition demanding a full investigation on Benghazi today!

Marion D. from Houma, LA writes: "The families deserve the truth and so do we THE AMERICAN PEOPLE !!!!!"

Phil and Evelyn C. from Broomfield, CO writes: "We are outraged that our congress is so weak minded they don't stand up for what is right."


No New TaxesNo time to fall off of the 'fiscal cliff'

Update: Almost 50,000 letters sent this week alone!  With news of a top Republican senator ditching the taxpayer protection pledge, we have to send a message to 'The Establishment' that we will not stand for any more taxation! How many letters can we flood Washington D.C. with before the weekend is over?  Between this petition and the Benghazi petition let's flood our congressman's mail boxes!!

Send your declaration to Congress right now -- We don't have much time to act!

Jeffrey M. from Covington, GA writes: "ObamaCare is way more than enough new taxes for me. In fact, I'm hoping it will be repealed."

Memory M. from Paxico, KS writes: "If you give an inch, the current administration will take a mile. It is time to stand firm on NO NEW TAXES and NO HIGHER TAXES. Actions speak louder than words. Show the American people some backbone and keep your word."
