The Religious Freedom Restoration Act states that a provider's " religious reasons" could prevent a person in need from receiving medical help, housing, or a driver's license. This Act is discriminatory and unkind. We the people of Michigan in Bay County who have signed this petition do not support this Act.

In the United States, human trafficking is an increasing problem. This criminal enterprise includes citizens of the United States, many of them children, who are forced into prostitution, and foreigners brought into the country, often under false pretenses, who are coerced into forced labor or commercial sexual exploitation.

Based on the number of Black Males being killed by Officers of the Law without any indictments or prosecution of these Officers. There is an apparent lack of laws to protect this segment of the population as is evident in the recent killings of Michael Brown, Eric Garner and so many others. In a Nation of Laws we need a Federal Law to protect these innocent victims from being killed before even getting to a hearing.

I am making this petition because I believe it is morally and tactically unwise for the government increase the suspicions of the people it is meant to protect and serve. If the government you has nothing to hide, it has no reason to fear its citizens. We only want truth. Is that something the government should have to defend itself against? The greatest law is - Love thy God. The second is Love thy neighbor. Are we not all each other's brothers keepers to atone and answer for each other, to help each other up? Preventing protests near government buildings, is not helpful and after recent events at Ferguson and other places, this only will inspire hostility in the people toward government authority. Please hear me out. God bless you all.

The city council of Kennesaw has rejected a request from a neighborhood Islamic group for the right to rent a local retail space for worship service. McKoon’s silence on this issue speaks volumes about the true intentions of his so-called “religious freedom” bill, which is really designed to promote discrimination. "Religious pluralism is one of the foundation stones of this country,” McKoon says. “Sending a message that people of every faith are welcome in this state, and don't have to worry about government trampling their right to free exercise, is something we should want to champion.” Despite being a clear case of local government trampling on one group’s freedom to express their religion, the council’s decision was celebrated by opponents of the mosque, including protestors. Demonstrators held signs that read “Ban Islam” and “Islam wants no peace!” One resident addressed the Muslim group in a public meeting by saying, “We’re scared of you!” Now, Sen. McKoon has the chance to add his voice to this fight, but, so far, hasn’t said a word. The council silently denied the community’s request in a 4-1 vote, claiming they don’t allow religious organizations to rent retail space; however, as recently as July 2014, the council unanimously approved the use of a large retail space by a Pentecostal church. Only one council member, Cris Eaton-Welsh, voted in favor of the motion. “This is 100 percent, bar none, a First Amendment issue,” says Eaton-Welsh, who describes herself as “politically conservative” Catholic. “They have the right to assemble. I don’t understand their religion, but they have the right to do this.” This is clearly a case of religious discrimination. Tell McKoon to take a stand for the Islamic community in Kennesaw by publicly supporting religious expression for Georgians of all faiths.

The bill discourages people from recording the police by making unlawfully recording police – or an attorney general, assistant attorney general, state’s attorney, assistant state’s attorney or judge – a class 3 felony, which carries a sentence of two to four years in prison. Meanwhile, the bill makes illegal recording of a private citizen a class 4 felony, which carries a lower sentencing range of one to three years in prison. We can also stop this bill by calling the office of Illinois governor, Pat Quinn, at 312-814-2121, and demand that he veto the Amendment to Senate Bill 1342. Or you can email him at this link.

I am a Christian woman and this is not right. Everyone has the ability to have a seat next to God all the way until the day that they die. We are not to judge them. Only God can Judge! We are Human. If you pass this bill, then you are telling the world that you are just as good as God and you will loose! I have Gay family and if this law passes and they die because they didn't get treated because they are Gay, prepare to be owing a lot because my family will have your job!
