I'm an unemployed Healthcare worker who is trying to find a job in NYC. However, I feel I am being discriminated against simply due to my credit report. I am seeking a non-financial based position and I want my credit report to be kept private. I don't want my credit report being plastered in public. Nor do I want it to be used against me when I am trying to find a good job.

Make Jefferson's speech about seperation of church and state an actual constitutional amendment!

Men's Central Jail in Los Angeles has been violating the basic international human rights of its inmates for years. Abhorrent insanitary and abusive conditions continue to treat inmates like animals instead of people. Those responsible for continuing the cycle of injustice and violating a person's constitutional rights, must be held accountable for their actions. Help be a voice for those who's voice has been taken from them.

Perjury is a crime and Clapper is not above the law. This serious crime must be acted upon by this administration if we are not to allow total mockery of the rule of law.

Disturbingly, the Obama administration has criminally prosecuted more whistleblowers under the Espionage Act than all other past administrations combined. The tactic of criminalizing the messenger is timeless, however. For decades, truth-tellers have risked not only their careers but their reputations and freedom to disclose abuses of power that betray the public trust. Government abuse of power is peaking. Thanks to whistleblowers we know that Big Brother has moved into every American’s smart phone and computer. Now more than ever these whistleblowers need your support, and we need theirs. Demand that Congress pass legislation banning retaliatory criminal investigations and prosecutions against whistleblowers! Ironically, while criminal prosecutions are at record highs, the Obama administration has demonstrated unsurpassed leadership in whistleblower protection against job-related retaliation – as demonstrated by passage of the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act (WPEA) last Congress. The point of whistleblower laws such as the WPEA is to encourage employees to report waste, fraud, abuse and substantial threats to public health and safety. Unfortunately, as seen in the recent documentary War on Whistleblowers by Brave New Foundation, criminal prosecutions create a far greater chilling effect than merely demoting or firing a whistleblower. Tell Congress: It should not be legal to prosecute whistleblowers because of activities for which it is illegal to fire them! Whistleblowers who change the course of history are frequently criminalized in the process, even when they act lawfully, only disclosing unclassified information. Thanks to their courage, we know that the government has engaged in: - Extensive domestic surveillance, allowing big brother to tap into your phone lines and email accounts; - Gross misspending (in the billions!) to conduct illegal domestic spying, employing taxpayer dollars to target whistleblowers and media outlets such as the Associated Press; - Torture of prisoners of the "War on Terror” under official U.S. government policy; - Systemic race and gender discrimination within the Department of Energy; - The cancellation of U.S. air marshals on flights during a confirmed overseas terrorist hijacking more ambitious than the 9/11 attacks. Whistleblowers should be rewarded – not faced with jail time – for alerting the public to such threats. Congress must respond to the disturbing abuse of power by the Obama administration. Otherwise, it is the public that loses. Tell your elected leaders today: Ban the criminalization of whistleblowers!

The US Government is going the route of George Orwell's 1984. The outright and unlawful actions they have taken "to protect us' is based on fear-mongering and a carefully calculated campaign machine designed to infiltrate our lives and takes us one step closer to the possibility of tyranny and oppression. Each little of power the government takes is power they never give back. It's time to give it back. In order to do so people have to understand that this is a gateway problem. Today, it's watching us. Tomorrow it's oppressing us. It doesn't matter if you're doing nothing wrong so you don't care if they're watching you. You should simply care that they are doing it. In a country that is supposed to be the home of the free shouldn't we feel free? Do you feel free if every move you make is monitored? Do you think you're free when there are people who have unfettered access to all your private communications? Do you think you're free when you can innocently say a keyword or combination of keywords that will instantaneously add you to the NSA watchlist? You're not. In order to be the land of the free and the home of the brave we have to do things right. That means respecting the constitution, our rights to freedom, our respect for each other and most of all - to not give into a fear that is generated through acts of terror. Never let an act of terror manipulate you. Stay strong, stay brave, stay a hero.

Ask NYPD to press hate crime charges against Clinton Stable Park Horse Owner who made racist and homophobic remarks http://www.irishcentral.com/news/Irish-carriage-drivers-racist-and-homophobic-outburst-startles-NYC---VIDEO-162843886.html

This is a petition to remove a man that perjured himself under oath. He has also responsible for obtaining personal information of targeted reporters illegally. He is responsible for Fast & Furious which resulted in the death of a border patrol officer. He also supports the NSA violating the 4th amendment which prohibits anyone from gathering ANY information on an individual without due process

Right-wing Wisconsin Representative Jeff Stone and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos are trying their hardest to bring voter suppression right here to Wisconsin. They're pushing a bill packaging together all of the worst voter suppression measures: restrictive voter ID requirements, limits on absentee and early voting, and an end to Election-Day registration. It's a brazen strategy that depends on the rest of us sitting idly by. We can't let that happen. Tell Rep. Stone and Assembly Speaker Vos: Stop trying to suppress voting in our elections.

The decision to prosecute should be moved out of the chain of command so that victims of sexual assault can feel safe reporting the crime and so there is justice and accountability. Our service men and women should not have to suffer in silence.

I am pulling this petiton together to try and stop the law of click it or ticket. This law is ridiculous if you are over 18 you should be able to choose whether you want to wear one or not. The goverment has never really proved how many lives it saves and how many die from actually wearing a seatbelt.

Recently we've seen two shocking revelations about how the government is invading our privacy: - The FBI and National Security Agency (NSA) are currently tracking information on every single call made by customers of Verizon in the United States, according to the Guardian. - According to the Washington Post, the FBI and NSA are also collecting chats, emails, photos and videos by tapping directly into the servers of some of the nation's largest internet companies, including Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Yahoo, in a secret program called PRISM. These secret programs are a major overreach, and President Obama should put a stop to them right away.
