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!

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.

EDRA is proud of its nearly 50 years of work advancing environmental design research and until now, particularly proud of its founding roots and incorporation, since 1972, in the State of North Carolina. Our return to North Carolina on May 18-22, 2016 for EDRA’s 47th annual conference at Raleigh’s Convention Center, has become all the more momentous with the passage of HB2, a discrimination law we ardently reject and oppose. Our conference will go on, but not without EDRA declaring firm and full opposition to HB2. EDRA stands for the rights of all and stands united with all those who are opposing and calling for the full repeal of HB2. Moreover, we join in supporting the Equality Act which amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to include sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity among the prohibited categories of discrimination or segregation in places of public accommodation. Governor McCrory, we petition you to immediately rescind HB2 and to enact legislation in North Carolina safeguarding and extending civil rights to all. HB2 must go now!

I have been publicly targeted for my support of my Muslim neighbors here in Irving, Texas. The Bureau of Islamic Relations (BAIR) has protested in front of the Islamic Center of Irving, which is right up the street from my home, carrying assault rifles. They also published my name and address on Right Wing sites, calling me a Muslim Sympathizer. As a matter of fact they published the names and addresses of every Irving citizen who spoke to the Irving City Council against a resolution to support Texas House Bill 562, also known as the "AntiSharia Law Bill." It was a useless bill, and was never passed because no Muslims in Texas are trying to establish Sharia Law in Texas. No one would allow them to even if they did try. This Islamophobic Fearmongering has to stop.

In 2013, the country was appalled as George Zimmerman was acquitted in the killing of Trayvon Martin as a result of Florida’s "Stand Your Ground" law. Since then, we have had to watch as Zimmerman has remained in the news through run-ins with law enforcement, racist statements, and efforts to capitalize off of killing Trayvon through a celebrity boxing match and a recent attempt to auction the gun used to kill Trayvon. Sadly, Zimmerman has become an enduring symbol of the physical and political violence, hate, and injustice happening to Black people in our country. Now conservatives and the gun lobby are again pushing "Stand Your Ground" legislation in even more states—providing cover for race-based violence and trigger-happy vigilantes like Zimmerman. The Missouri legislature has introduced a crime bill that was expanded by Senator Kurt Schaefer (R-Columbia) to protect killers like Zimmerman. Adding a "Stand Your Ground" measure to the bill, Schaefer believes that people should be able to legally claim fear made them shoot people while on their property or in a public space. The bill is moving rapidly through the legislature and actually getting worse with each vote. As we saw with the killings of Trayvon Martin, Jordan Davis, Mike Brown Davis, Rekia Boyd, Tamir Rice, Mike Brown, and many others, an illegitimate fear of Black people, including children, is already a justification for killing them in many courtrooms in America. "Stand Your Ground" laws make it even easier to get away with violence against Black people. "Stand Your Ground" laws are also not applied equally. Black people are far less likely to succeed when using it as a defense. As we saw in the case of Marissa Alexander, even a Black woman firing a warning shot in the presence of a former abuser was not able to take advantage of the same defense that allowed Zimmerman to get away with murder. Help us ensure "Stand Your Ground" laws are not expanded. Tell Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon to veto "Stand Your Ground" when it comes to his desk.

I have seen the expense list for a trip to the convention. Between air fare and the hotel it is in the thousands. If we can't get every delegate to the convention Bernie will lose. If we can get them all there we have the upper hand. Move On needs to help raise funds and distribute them to the state pledged delegates to make sure that every delegate that is pledged for Bernie makes it to the convention.
