Governor Paul LePage has gone against the voters of Maine and our ELECTED Attorney General once again in suing the federal govt. for protecting the civil rights of LGBT persons. Please sign this petition to ask the Maine state government to take action against the Bully Governor!

Minnesota Democrat Betty McCollum is circulating a letter to her House colleagues on protecting Palestinian children being held in military detention. [1] Maryland Democrat Elijah Cummings and Illinois Democrat Luis Gutierrez are now in a position of unique influence: they've been named to the Democratic Platform committee. [2] If we can get Reps. Cummings and Gutierrez to sign the McCollum letter, that's two more signers on the letter, but it's also two more members of the Platform Committee who've signed up for the idea that the U.S. should do more to help protect Palestinian kids in military detention. That will improve the prospects for getting strong language on respect for the rights of Palestinian children in the Democratic platform. Urge Rep. Cummings and Rep. Gutierrez to support the McCollum letter by signing our petition.

Being born and raised mostly here in the South I have realized the amount of religious privilege, bias, and incredibly, how much lawmaking is carried out by their faith alone. I am so passionate about making the United States of America, no matter the region, for all, no matter gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation, because I deplore the powers that strip our natural given rights that then causes the suffering of mankind. Check the post and see how much of a threat an un-separation of church and state will be: http://www.forwardprogressives.com/republican-religious-fanatics-pose-bigger-threat-country-than-isis/ My father fought in Desert Storm. Being there twice and coming back like most soldiers he was not the same. I fight for him, like he's fought for me and my freedom. So I continue to fight for the America and the rights and freedoms that we deserve. So I will say again, drop the religious Fanaticism. You can keep your religion, but you DO NOT have the right to force it on our lives. If we make laws it should be based on evidence of a threat if those laws are not upheld. Like for instance, what happens when we don't uphold the separation of church and state. Thank you, Cortney of Alabama

Exit polls have shown HUGE inconsistencies in the actual vote. DNC has stopped the exit polls instead of investigating. Please investigate and re-establish exit polls if possible. Thank You.

Civil Rights and the Students of PISD deserve a discrimination-free school district!

This petition was created to help show Legislative Hall the public support for passing the Homeless Individuals' Bill of Rights. This bill would give equality back to those facing homelessness. This bill will help stop the discrimination happening everyday to those in our communities who are trying to get through a rough patch in their lives. It would also help give the homeless a foundation to stand on to get back on their feet. You can read the bill here to better understand the difference this would make for them. http://legis.delaware.gov/LIS/lis148.nsf/vwLegislation/SS+1+for+SB+134/$file/legis.html?open

The DNC has been in bed with the dirty politics of the Clinton machine since the beginning of the primary season. When the deny Sanders in June, We need someone to vote for that isn't Authoritarian Donald Trump or Wall Street Pet Hillary Clinton that has legitimate chance of having a successful campaign and change the narrative of the election. The Libertarian Party is the third largest political party in the United States. Their presumptive nominee Gary Johnson was a two term Governor of New Mexico and his running mate was twice elected governor of Massachusetts. That is a ticket that should be taken seriously. He is pro pot legalization, anti war, pro choice, pro immigrant, anti-IRS, small government, and a successful business man who has climbed Mt. Everest. He can only take part on the presidential debates if he is polling above 15% nationally averaged in 5 national polls. He is already at 10 or -11 in the only 2 he's been included in. I would love another viable option rather than Clinton or Trump. Let's petition the major polling sources and the media to include Johnson in the polling! Lets get Johnson into the presidential debates, which can't happen without getting to 15% in the polls, which can't happen if he's not in the polls!! Help! Need to know more before you sign? https://garyjohnson2016.com http://www.ontheissues.org/Gary_Johnson.htm

The exit polls which have been conducted thus far in most states have indicated a wide spread pattern of deviations between the raw exit poll numbers and the official vote count - in many cases showing a deviation of ten to fifteen percent or even more - which is a red flag indicating that the vote count has been rigged. Because the scanners used to count paper ballots in the US use a "fractionalized" vote counting program (which counts each vote as 100/100ths rather than simply 1) that serves no conceivable purpose other than rigging the vote count in a way that cannot be detected after the fact (except by exit polls!), we know that the means exist for a single individual to hack the vote count in order to produce any desired outcome with a set number of voters.

This petition is to have her removed from any formal position that would allow her to make any rules or decisions regarding the convention in Philadelphia due to her public comments and incredible bias against the Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders in favor of Hillary Clinton. She is neglecting her duty to the Democrats of this nation by doing things that make it appear she is campaigning for either candidate. And I call for her replacement, with a unbiased, unaligned, responsible alternative that will ensure that the voice of the Democrats of this nation are given a true and rightful voice at the national convention.

HB2 was introduced, passed in the North Carolina Senate and House, and signed into law by Governor McCrory on March 23, 2016. This is not a "bathroom bill": it is a blatant attack on transgender North Carolinians, strips current and future protections for LGBTQ+ citizens, and is a direct attack on workers rights. It is time to repeal this deeply dangerous and detrimental law and replace it with comprehensive legislation that protects LGBTQ+ North Carolinians. The Equality for All Act would not only repeal HB2, but protect all LGBTQ+ citizens of North Carolina in employment, housing, credit, education, and public accommodations. Tell your State Representative to vote YES on HB 1078 now!

400,000 voters were intentionally disenfranchised by a write-in candidate to disallow voters, Black and Brown in particular, from voting. This is not government of the people!

Free and Fair Elections are the foundation of every Democracy, along with education. The two party system is archaic, outdated and easily corruptible. I'm asking for you support in ending the Electoral College, and giving Americans an easier path to participate. Rank Voting, which requires a simple majority, would increase participation, expand dialogue and end the feeling that many of us have, of either holding our noses or wasting our votes. We've heard testimony of Voting Machines being rigged, votes being stolen and citizens being excluded and disenfranchised. If we are to bother with a democracy at all, it most be equal and fair for all.
