  • A Maury County Tennessee Mom's Battle
    My petition is about our court system not be educated enough to properly handle Child Custody cases, not taking the appropriate time to make determinations and therefore not doing what's in the best interest of our children.

  • Sen. Richard Burr, Sen. Kay Hagan, and Rep. David Price: Please repeal Citizens United through a ...
    I'm passionate about political representation and constantly seeking simple ideas that would improve democracy and people's lives. Citizens United is a travesty and corporate influence runs our legislative bodies through organizations such as ALEC. I think that overturning Citizens United and reforming campaign finance laws would improve political responsiveness to the people's needs. The recommended amendment would declare that (1) artificial entities such as corporations do not have constitutional rights, and (2) money is not free speech. Thanks for reading, please sign and share this petition. Also, consider writing your own message for your elected officials. Please visit my blog at www.chapelboro411.weebly.com

  • Genocide in Bangladesh
    Bangladeshi Hindus are being murdered, raped and tortured without any protection from Bangladeshi government. Source: http://www.hrw.org/world-report-2012/world-report-2012-bangladesh Luckily, our own government has enormous influence to diplomatically pursuade other governments to take corrective actions, to emphasize and elevate incidents of human rights violations to global human rights organizations - among many other peaceful diplomatic means. Please join me (a naturalized citizen of the USA who was born in Bangladesh, and who has worked as a civilian engineer in the US Navy to solicit the attention of our elected leaders in taking actions to address the blatant and on-going human rights violations in Bangladesh against the very peaceful and law-abiding Hindus.

  • Acceptance of Pastafarianism
    Not all religions are accepted or tolerated in Lisle Senior High School. The religious headgear of the Pastafarian religion has been deemed disruptive and not appropriate in the school. The fact that a student is forbidden to go to his/her classes with the official headgear of the Pastafarian faith is intolerable and ignorant. This intolerance needs to be removed from the school and the religious must be allowed to be worn during the school day.

    Marriage equality should be granted to all loving couples. Denying marriage equality to these couples will have immediate effects how they file their taxes, how they obtain healthcare and the future of their families.

  • In Support of H.R. 98: John Hope Franklin Tulsa-Greenwood Race Riot Claims Accountability Act of ...
    As detailed by a report of the Oklahoma Commission to Study the Race Riot of 1921, Greenwood after the riot was “a blackened landscape of vacant lots and empty streets, charred timbers and melted metal, ashes and broken dreams. Where the African American commercial district once stood was now a ghost town of crumbling brick store fronts and the burned-out bulks of automobiles. Gone was the Dreamland and the Dixie, gone was the Tulsa Star and the black public library, gone was the Liberty Cafe and Elliott & Hooker’s clothing store, H.L. Byars’ cleaners and Mabel Little’s beauty salon. Gone were literal lifetimes of sweat and hard work, and hard-won rungs on the ladder of the American Dream. Gone, too, were hundreds of homes, and more than a half-dozen African American churches, all torched by the white invaders. Nearly ten-thousand Tulsans, practically the entire black community, was now homeless." As justice was never delivered, H.R. 98 is a bill to reopen the case for redress. Redress to families affected by the Tulsa Race Riot is widely supported by civil rights scholars and academics who study the topic of reparations. To learn more, check out one of the many books that has been written on the riot and its aftermath, including Albert Brophy's Reconstructing the Dreamland: The Tulsa Race Riot of 1921, Scott Ellsworth's Death in a Promised Land, and James S. Hirsch's Riot and Remembrance: The Tulsa Race War and Its Legacy. There have been at least two documentary films made about the race riot: Before They Die!, and The Tulsa Lynching of 1921: A Hidden Story. Check out the Oklahoma Commission report: http://www.okhistory.org/research/forms/freport.pdf. Last but not least, see the text of H.R. 98 here: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-113hr98ih/pdf/BILLS-113hr98ih.pdf.

  • Gov Christie: Denounce Rep. Chris Smith's rape audit bill
    New Jersey's own Rep. Chris Smith is at it again. A committee in Congress is going to debate his anti-choice bill that could force sexual-assault survivors who choose abortion to prove to the IRS that the assault occurred. We don’t want New Jersey’s fingerprints on this kind of anti-woman policy! If it passes, women and families across the country will have elected officials from the Garden State to blame. Rep. Smith only represents New Jersey’s 4th congressional district, but Chris Christie, as governor, represents the whole state. That’s why we're calling on Gov. Christie to denounce Rep. Smith’s rape audit bill and say it doesn’t represent the values of New Jersey.

  • END THE ENSLAVEMENT OF MILLIONS OF INDIAN CHILDREN
    Every day, millions of children in India wake up with nothing to look forward to except hours of back-breaking labour working everywhere from stone quarries to carpet factories to rice mills. Children as young as 5 years-old are kept from school, forced to work 7 days a week for up to 18 hours a day and end up with crippling injuries, respiratory disorders and chronic pain. Thankfully, the Indian Parliament is considering legislation called the “Child and Adolescent Labour Abolition Bill ”. This legislation would put an end to the enslavement of children in India but it risks not passing without a demonstration of mass public support. For every day the bill is delayed, several children remain at risk of being bought and sold to work in unimaginable conditions of sex slavery, bonded labour and domestic servitude. Call on the Indian Parliament to immediately pass the “Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Amendment Bill” and end child slavery in India.
