In a 1957 speech titled "Give Us The Ballot," Dr. King made a vivid case for why voting rights are so critical in our society: "So long as I do not firmly and irrevocably possess the right to vote I do not possess myself. I cannot make up my mind — it is made up for me. I cannot live as a democratic citizen, observing the laws I have helped to enact — I can only submit to the edict of others." Senator Margaret Rose Henry is advancing voting rights in Delaware. She has introduced a Same Day Registration bill that allows eligible Delaware voters to register to vote on Election Day and then immediately cast a ballot. Please help advance Dr. King's vision in 2015.

The National BSA needs to remove the ban on gay adults in scouting. There is no reason for it. Scouting allows a boy who is gay to be in scouting, but as soon as he turns 18 he is no longer allowed. Quoting BSA President, Robert Gates (5/21/15) the “status quo in our movement’s membership standards cannot be sustained,” He then called on the organization to end its ban on gay adults. He also went on to say that the BSA would not revoke the charters of Boy Scouts Councils that defied the organization’s ban on gay adults, explicitly mentioning the Denver Area Council and the Greater New York Council

If we do not stop Gov. Jindal's Executive Order, we will be allowing Louisiana to become discriminatory against other human being and to take away key civil rights. Don't allow Louisiana to legalize discrimination. Sign now to make your voice count!

Update: "Take Back Redding" is disavowing the "no handout ordinance" petition. The least we can do is allow the homeless the chance to eat, we do not need this in our community https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSGD45D8URM

My name is Mimi V-B and I am 9-years-old. I am starting this petition because I care about the safety of others and when I heard about this injustice, I was horrified. People like Michael Brown, Freddie Gray and many more should not be treated that way. I am not blaming every white policeman, many are good, like our neighbor who is a police chief. We just want to stop discrimination against African-American people. That's why I think the grown-ups should now listen to the kids. Grown-ups when you get this message, please pass it along to your kids. If you don't have kids, please pass it along to people who do.

It is Illegal for a SOVEREIGN NATIONAL NORTH AMERICAN INDIAN TRIBAL MEMBER TO BE A CITIZEN SLAVE SURVEILLANCE NUMBER, IT IS ILLEGAL IN ALL 50 States to make contracts with minors, application SS 5 for a social security number that will NEVER belong to them but will make them a ward of state and put them under admiralty/maritime JURISDICTION.

Quebec law allows bilingual signs in stores. Costco is spitting in the faces of their English members for absolutely no reason whatsoever. It is time for Costco to show some respect for their English speaking members in Montreal! https://anglosigns.wordpress.com/2013/07/13/is-something-rotten-at-costco/

"Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex." The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution that would expressly prohibit discrimination against girls and women on the basis of sex. The Constitution does not guarantee equal rights for women. As former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has stated: “Certainly the Constitution does not require discrimination on the basis of sex. The only issue is whether it prohibits it. It doesn’t.”[1] The ERA is an important statement of principle. The Constitution embodies the nation's core values. Equality between women and men is a fundamental human right that should be guaranteed in the Constitution. Sex discrimination continues to limit equal opportunity and justice for women. Economic inequality, pregnancy discrimination, violence against women, and other forms of discrimination against women and girls are pervasive and leave women without effective legal recourse. State laws are not uniform and federal laws are not comprehensive. Moreover, these laws can be, and in some cases have been, rolled back anytime. The Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution does not protect women from sex discrimination. The Fourteenth Amendment provides equal protection of the law, but it has been interpreted to require state action and the intent to discriminate. Much discrimination occurs through private action and is not intentional, making intent hard to prove. The Supreme Court reviews sex discrimination claims using intermediate rather than strict scrutiny, a lower standard of review than for racial and religious discrimination claims. Source: 1.

My kids where taken from me because my ex hurt them so I moved, and he kept stalking me. Someone went and lied on me and said he was living there and hurting them again. It wasn't true, and they never took the time to see it wasn't true. They just took my kids. I lost my kids to CYS and am trying to bring them back . My daughter, since they took them has cried because she wants to be with me, and just recently passed out at school with all the stress from this. My baby girl has had emergency surgery,allergic reaction. My son fell off of slide and busted his lip and has a black eye and is throwing a lot of tantrums. If you could sign this and help me get them home I would really appreciate it! I am trying to fight to get my kids back.

When my stepdaughter was being bullied online and someone posted a despicable photo with a racial epithet, I reported it to Facebook. Facebook decided there was nothing wrong with the picture and it doesn't violate their Terms of Service for racially motivated hate speech or harassment. The saddest part is how easily resigned my beautiful girl was to the outcome. Please sign this petition and or contact Facebook to show support for my girl, zero tolerance toward the boy who posted it, and pressure for Facebook to reverse their decision on this matter.
