Omaha, NE First National Bank, of which there is a subsidiary in Kansas, has an elaborate display about the pioneers which ignores Native Americans. They perpetuate the tendency of American business to ignore contributions of invisible "people of color". The Bank has acknowledged the oversight. However, they were extremely noncommittal about when the correction would be done. That the Native Americans were overlooked in the initial planning is inexcusable. If you agree that First National Bank is obligated, by being a public commercial entity, to provide a timely, accurate display and should correct their web site and place a public display advising of their oversight, please sign the petition.

Idaho is one of the final two states in the nation that do not have a law that protects nursing mothers from being harrassed and discriminated against when in public places. We are asking for business and organization support for a bill to show mothers that we respect and support their choice to breastfeed their babies in our businesses and public areas. Please make sure that you use your business or organization name in the signature section of this petition! If you are an individual that wants to support this cause, please sign our other petition here http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/idaho-needs-a-law-to?source=s.fwd&r_by=5245760. Thank you so much.

Already, 37 states allow Same Sex Marriage. Any ban on the subject is one of pure discrimination, with no logical reasoning behind it. Being one of many affected by this matter, knowing my freedoms and rights are restricted because of something I have no say in, makes me feel as if I did something to deserve this, when instead I should be proud of who I am. When the day comes, I want to have the choice of marriage. I have friends and family who want this same choice, and why not? If Michigan wishes to grow, we have to realize our mistakes, with this banning being one of them. The marriage between any two people is of no concern to anyone but those two, and the only reason people have denied us this right is because they fear it will hinder the integrity of all marriages. This point of view is based on nothing but blind hate. It's time we progressed and march on as a state. Let all citizens be given the same rights, no matter the race, gender, national origin, religious views, or sexuality.

In February 2015, a pediatrician at Eastlake Pediatrics in Roseville, MI refused to treat an infant so as to uphold the religious right to discriminate against the infant’s lesbian mothers. The following month, Senator Rick Jones provided an example of how the proposed MI-RFRA bill could potentially be used to allow a baker to legally refuse service to a patron who requests a religious themed cake that offends the baker's personal belief system. Patrons do not deserve to endure the distress, humiliation and inconvenience associated with being refused service by a public business in their communities. Instead, business owners should assume the responsibility of communicating their biases publicly. It's clear that the Michigan legislature wants to permit businesses to legally sidestep civil rights protections under the guise of "Religious Liberty." If an individual or business can refuse to recognize a person's civil rights on the pretext of religious belief, those rights become effectively meaningless. Let's call it for what it really is, and require businesses who serve the public to specify who they discriminate against.

The Westboro Baptist Church has been protesting the funerals and weddings of gays, and have even picketed concerts in the past. This needs to be stopped, and needs to stop soon because it is causing a lot of pain to the families and members of these sort of events.

We urge you to do more to prevent "Religious Freedom" legislation from passing in Georgia. These harmful bills open the door to discrimination against Georgians, making Georgia unsafe for LGBTQ residents, as well as religious minorities and people of color. Last year, under your lead, Delta Airlines was instrumental in stopping these bills from becoming the law of the land in Georgia. As the state's largest private employer, Delta Airlines has a responsibility to it's employees, customers, and the residents of Georgia to do everything in their power to object to these bills. In the past, your company has shown a commitment to civil rights in the South, by investing over $1 million in the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, and sponsoring the 50th anniversary of the March on Selma taking place this weekend. While we value this commitment, we must do more to ensure that the civil rights of ALL Georgians remain intact. Please take a stand against these bills, and use your influence to urge other business leaders to do the same.

Children under these circumstances have no choice or say and I consider this so unfair and disrespectful. I have three children and they feel extremely aggravated when they see their peers in the cars next to them breathing air full of poison.

I am tired of seeing Jewish students attacked verbally and physically in our schools, Universities and Institutions. We must stand up to this hatred and ignorance. Violence and confrontations are not the way to make change happen. Understanding, cooperation, and education will stamp out anti-Semitism and hatred!

2017 UPDATE: Now that we have a president who is anti-LGBT, as well as a vice president who believes "conversion therapy" is an acceptable treatment for our community, this issue becomes more important than ever! OLD DESCRIPTION: I live in Oklahoma, where politicians continuously make every effort to discriminate against the LGBT community. One of the measure that has been proposed is to let "conversion therapy" of LGBT youth be legal. This blatant crime against humanity is torture, which often leads to psychological damage, including PTSD, identity issues, and even suicide. We need to speak out to all who support "conversion therapy" and make it illegal on a national level! This is brazen discrimination against those who cannot help who they are, who they were born to be, needs to end in every state! Let your voice be heard that you will not stand for such damaging torture of our younger generations! Sign the petition and let's work towards making such a crime against human beings illegal on a federal level!

Karla Brada was 26 years old. She met a man who she did not know was a violent offender. After moving in with him he killed her. Many members of AA have Asperger's syndrome. They get preyed on as well. I have Asperger's syndrome and I and others like me have been preyed upon and threatened and used by others in AA. I have watched girls get sexually harassed by people in AA. And I have seen teenagers get molested. After the death of Karla Brada, many of us have had enough. We are tired we are angry and we want some rules and boundaries.

To fire Kristi Capel for using Jigaboo to describe music on Fox 8 News for her ignorance and insensitivity! And then claiming on twitter that she didnt know what the word meant.

As a member of the Black community at Old Dominion University, it is imperative that the university support cultural understanding of Black students. As of now, institutional funding for Black programming is low and there is no central safe space for Black students to commune while accommodations for other marginalized groups have been made (i.e. the Women's Center, the Safe Space Committee, Lavender House -- a living arrangement for LGBT students, the Confucius Institute to promote understanding between US citizens and Chinese culture, and the Filipino American Center). The university is 22% Black in total and 46% Black on campus -- the time is now for Black students to be made an institutional priority.
