Return of the Home LandAll recognized federal and state parks including forests, and open range should be returned to the Indian Nations. The first people of this country have been waiting for 500 years to have a right to their own land that was acquired by birthright and taken away from them illegally. I have been affected personally by this issue. My family was forced out of their home land by gun point and only a small portion was returned back to the Indian People and they were forced to live in a foreign way of life in their own land. I have never felt that I was home, neither did the earlier generations of my family. Native American Indians deserve to have a portion of their land back, furthermore out of 500 nations we are ONE PEOPLE and we have a birthright given by our Creator that is being overlooked by the United States Government. We feel that the Creator ranks higher than any government because his deed has been registered far longer than any claims on this land. When the people return to their land, the land will heal, and the animals will replenish.4,945 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Principal Chief Randy Two Bears Standing TaTe

Repeal the surchargeable portion of M.G.L.c.85, sec 15Beginning tomorrow, if you have windshield wipers on in Massachusetts, you must have your headlights on. It's a good law; I have no issue with it. However, not only is it a ticketable offense if you are stopped, but the insurance companies are allowed to add a surcharge onto your insurance. That is dead wrong. They get enough from us and this is going to hurt those who can least afford to pay any more than they do already. It does not affect me, I have a new car so my lights are always on. But it infuriates me that they are getting away with making this a surchargeable offense.189 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Cynthia Stoltz

Keep farms safer by holding owners responsible for safetyThe owner of Yankee Springs Dairy, Paul Lettinga, was responsible for the deaths of two young men aged 17 and 18 in 2010 due to unsafe farming practices. This farmer knowingly sent these two young men into a silo without proper equipment, which resulted in suffocation and loss of life. These losses have torn at the families who have been left to try and continue on without their loved ones. The penalty for his crime: a $14,000 fine which was later reduced to half that amount. Perhaps if farmers were sentenced to jail time rather than minor fines and inconveniences, we would see a reduction in extreme farm accidents. This case has been held up in litigation and risks being dismissed without any real loss to the farm. Please ask for changes, ask for justice and safety on farms. All life is precious regardless of location. Please use this opportunity to discuss what responsibility should look like and how justice can be served.95 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tara

Ban travel by Georgia State Employees to IndianaI am an employee of the State of Georgia, and I strongly believe that we should show our support for fairness and equality by boycotting Indiana where a "whites only" style of law has been instituted. There is no place for such unjust laws in a nation that embraces equality before the law for every citizen.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Danny Ingram

Restrict travel to Indiana using public funds for nonessential businessI would like to see this bill rewritten or repealed as it is offensive to many Americans. This is a protest of Indiana's recently-passed bill that allows businesses to discriminate against people whose lifestyle is different than the said establishment. This is a very bad precedent and should be sent back to the dark ages.18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by joe wolf

Ban travel to IndianaWe cannot return to the bigotry of the early 1960's when officials met civil rights activists with the vilest of behavior. As nation we must decide that we are better than that.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by James Niesen
