America: Tell the Truth about Race and Amend the Constitution NOW!!!The American public school system and employment testing is based on a race based bell curve system that continues to perpetuate a system of race and racism to grant "White superiority" status to some students and some prospective employees. This practice has diminished the country's educational system as well as wrecking havoc in our society for everybody. The government must stop being the enforcer of this destructive practice.32 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Johnnie P. Mitchell

Stop-and-frisk the Koch Brothers, not Detroit!Stop-and-frisk won’t likely be used on the young professionals downtown or the hipsters that are moving into the city. And does anyone honestly think that the DPD will be stop-and-frisking Lions, Tigers or Red Wings fans on game day? No - it will be the working class black and latino communities that will be the target of these types of unconstitutional discrimination and searches. The Manhattan Institute helped develop New York City’s controversial stop-and-frisk program. That program has only yielded three results: it’s ineffective, it leads to racial profiling of blacks and latinos and it was recently ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge. The worst part? While retirees worry Kevyn Orr is on his way to gutting their pensions, the Detroit Police Department is paying consultants more than $600,000 to advise them on implementing stop-and-frisk. Seriously? If anyone needs to be subject to random stop-and-frisks, it’s the Koch Brothers.275 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Lonnie Scott

Pennsylvanians deserve Online Voter RegistrationWhy PA Should Implement Online Voter Registration: • Streamlining voter registration just makes sense: SB 37 is a bipartisan, commonsense bill that will lower administrative costs for state and county election offices. It will speed up processing of voter registrations and ensure greater accuracy of poll books, helping prevent voter registration errors, irregularities, and fraud. • It benefits county election boards & individual voters: Online registration makes it easier for citizens to change their registration address when they move, conveniently keeping voter rolls up-to-date with county election offices and the state. It saves counties money over time because it streamlines the voter verification process. • PA voters deserve the same convenience that voters in 16 other states now have: Online registration has been enacted and implemented by 16 other states, including South Carolina, Kansas, and Colorado. In Arizona – one of the first states to enact online registration – 70% of all new and updated registrations are done online.266 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Jorge Santana

These decisions and judgments should be made under the best circumstances.70 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Pharmacist Rights

Skip Ender's Game: Don't Give The Bigot A BuckThis fall, Lionsgate Entertainment is planning to release "Ender's Game," a film based on Orson Scott Card's novel of the same name. Mr. Card, who is also one of the film's producers, has been an avowed opponent of LGBT rights—particularly marriage equality. He even sat on the Board of the National Organization for Marriage, which has fought against marriage equality in several states. Help show Lionsgate and other major studios that we refuse to let our money go to support homophobia and discrimination!12,063 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Joey Stern

OUTLAW Gerrymandering!Among the basic foundations of American democracy are: No taxation without representation; a still-unrealized ideal which expands voting rights and opportunities rather than limiting or eliminating them; and Constitutional amendments which guarantee the rights to freedom of expression, opinion, and representation (one person, one vote) at both the state and federal levels. Gerrymandering is a blatant attempt to negate any or all of these American rights and privileges, and should be declared a violation of federal law.604 of 800 SignaturesCreated by MICHAEL J JONES

Abolish All "Vehicle Habitation" & Other Such Ordinances That Incriminate Sleeping in VehiclesMany people don't have houses, shelters are overflowing, & many artists & other working people & people who lost their homes in the housing collapse are being sent to jail & fined for sleeping in their vehicles. It is reasonable for police to run search warrants, but it is discrimination to penalize not owning private property.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alexandra Wilson

Will Justice Come to NC?The US Department of Justice has decided to challenge anti-voting laws in Texas. Please sign this petition to encourage US-DOJ to take action in North Carolina, too! North Carolina’s new anti-voting monster law has many features that seem designed to make voting harder for certain groups [see www.democracy-nc.org]. For example, eliminating pre-registration for teenagers, ending Same-Day Registration, and refusing student IDs will push down voting by young people. Poor women will face new barriers since women are nearly two thirds of the voters who don’t have a NC photo ID, according to the State Board of Elections. African Americans are especially hit hard: They are 50% more likely than whites to register by using Same-Day Registration, to vote by using Straight Ticket Voting, and to not have a NC photo ID. In addition to requiring a photo ID, the new law ends SDR and STV! On the other hand, whites are 60% more likely to use mail-in absentee ballots – and the new law makes forms to get mail-in ballots easier to obtain! Even though a recent US Supreme Court decision undermines part of the Voting Rights Act, other sections remain in force. The Justice Department aims to use those sections to stop the discriminatory election changes in Texas. In taking the action, US Attorney General Eric Holder said, the Department is “determined to use every tool at our disposal to stand against discrimination wherever it is found.” Please sign the petition to urge Holder to take action in North Carolina - and then forward it to others. Thank you! Bob Hall Democracy North Carolina483 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Bob Hall
