Seperate Church from StateThis petition is to stop religious practices in state funded shelters in Albuquerque, NM. The First Amendment-Freedom of Religion is violated when homeless and day shelters force the Christian religion onto shelter residents. Some shelter residents are of other religions which do have different practices. Even if only $1 is donated from a government entity, the shelters should recognize the religious freedoms of its habitants.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Clarissa Jean Skeets

Exxon: Don't Discriminate Against Married Gay EmployeesWhen Exxon merged with Mobil in 1999, the newly merged company ended Mobil's domestic partner benefits program for gay employees. Today, Exxon Mobil denies spousal benefits to all legally married gay employees. The Human Rights Campaign has given Exxon Mobil a score of negative 25 in its Corporate Equality Index -- a scorecard that rates 1000 companies on criteria ranging from diversity training, transgender-inclusive medical coverage to non-discrimination policies. It's the first time they've ever awarded a negative score to a company. It's 2013 and as the Supreme Court prepares to rule on whether the federal government will recognize legal marriages, it's time for Exxon and other employers do the same. Let's tell Exxon Mobil to stop discriminating against gay employees.109 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jess Kutch

Don't Share My EmailsUnder current law, personal emails, contacts and chats can be shared by the provider without your knowledge. This means every email you send could make it to a government office, and you could never know about it. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want anyone, let alone the government, reading through every email I send without even notifying me. In many states, employers go as far as demanding access to email and social media accounts of candidates applying for jobs. Current laws are outdated and don't protect the online content that we all use daily. Sign the petition to the Senate now and urge them to support S. 607 and protect Internet privacy for all.219 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Christian Norton

Tell StudentsFirst bullying lawmakers are not educational "Reformers of the Year"Our gay son, Marcel, is 11 years old and lives in Tennessee representative John Ragan's district. Marcel was severely bullied in fifth grade and despite our support, contemplated taking his own life. That year the "Don't Say Gay Bill" was introduced in the Tennessee state legislature to prevent teachers from talking with kids like Marcel about being gay. If Marcel had returned to public school under those circumstances, we feel certain the consequences would have been deadly. Now Marcel would like to ask for your help. Here's what he wrote: Over a year ago StudentsFirst named state representative John Ragan their Tennessee educational “Reformer of the Year.” StudentsFirst continued supporting John Ragan with donations and fundraising on his behalf. In February of 2013, Representative Ragan introduced the “Classroom Protection Act” which the Tennessee American Civil Liberties Union called “disgraceful” and an even “harsher version” of Tennessee’s notorious ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill. On April 29, 2013, StudentsFirst made a statement which they felt addressed the situation. While StudentsFirst made it clear they do not support the bill, they declined to rescind the award. Additionally, they did not specify if they would support John Ragan and his efforts in the future. They also gave no indication that they were sorry for donating to and fundraising for the bill’s sponsor. There was no mention that they hoped to help repair the damage their advocacy inflicted on bullied students in Tennessee. The concept of changing the education system to put students first is noble. However, honoring John Ragan, and by proxy his “Classroom Protection Act,” runs contrary to the very concept the name StudentsFirst suggests.

Oppose Amnesty Now - Don't Let Washington Kill American JobsBlack Americans are disproportionately harmed by mass immigration and amnesty. Many blacks compete with immigrants, particularly illegal immigrants, for low-skilled jobs due to skill level and geography, and there are simply not enough of these jobs to go around. We must stop amnesty efforts in Congress, which will be costly for all Americans, but will harm black American workers more than any other group.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Black American Leadership Alliance

Reinstate Paulina TrumblePaulina Trumble, while saving the lives of the children in her classroom during the deadly Oklahoma tornadoes last week, was fired for praying out loud during the disaster. Ms. Trumble did not ask nor force the children of her class to pray with her; she prayed FOR THEM and THEIR protection. The laws and persecution against Christian Americans has gone far enough and allowing this firing to commence is a direct violation of Ms. Trumble's civil rights. She is free to pray for the lives and protection of her students if she so pleases as long as she isn't asking the children to do it with her.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Hodges

TRAYVON MARTIN SUPPORTERS BEING BULLIEDThose who are supporters of the defendant, George Zimmerman, have gotten out of hand in 2013. What they are doing is just outright harassment and intimidation. They have crossed the line with their rhetoric and intimidation. The supporters have continually reported their harassment and bullying and nothing gets done. Screen shots of their many Community Pages were sent to Facebook Corporate and HLN TV, nothing is done. Screen shots of Trayvon Martin supporter’s comments and pictures have been seen on their pages and are being used to harass, intimidate, and spew racial epithets. They are preventing us from speaking our 1st Amendment rights “Freedom of Speech” in attempts to make most fear them. It gets so bad that they scare people off these support pages. When we defend ourselves against them we are suspended between 1-30 days. It's not enough that smear campaigns are being created by using social network Facebook in creating hate pages against the victim Trayvon Martin, threatening his family and badgering Witness #8 (ongoing). You have one person that I and most Trayvon Martin Supporters feel he should be investigated by the FBI for hate crimes against Black Americans. I have copies of his comments with racial epithets! We don’t even know if that is his real name. There is also a Facebook Community page where they gather to make plans to harass and intimidate us. They have spammed our post to from one page to their page to ridicule and demean us. They have continually harassed people, hacked peoples accounts, made fake petitions on change.org by the same person who spew racist epithets, and others who may have leaked people's home address, people's phone numbers, leaked people's pictures, leaked kids photos, stolen pictures, created fake profiles, created fake Facebook Community Pages, edited people's pictures of the Martins, their attorneys, and have cyber bullied Trayvon Martin Supporters and their families. What is sad is about all of this is you can’t block them because Facebook community pages don’t have that feature to block. They feel they are invincible from being suspended and blocked by Facebook. They use fake names and profiles so we can’t find their original page to block. I advocate in Domestic Violence and Rape and this needs to get people's awareness of what is going on in Social Media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and etc. This needs to stop before someone gets hurt by one of them finding out our real address, that is a terrifying feeling. I have put statements on my Facebook Profile that it is against Facebook to spam my posts, pictures, and profile. I have shut them down completely letting my family and friends are the only ones to see them. Somebody needs to listen to us so they can put a stop to this. We tried writing Facebook Corporate and gave them 12 pages of screen shots and links. We have sent reports to the FBI via their link. No one is helping us. This is one more try to get Facebook and the FBI’s attention. This first Petition was up about this subject in 12/2012. We need to reach the Trayvon supporters to start taking screen shots, save them, save your messages and send them to us. I am hoping the news stations see who how horrific this is getting as the June 10th Trial is near. This has now gotten dangerous and the more we allow it, the more it's going to happen. We want worldwide attention. We want people from the outside to know our pain. The supporters of the defendant in the Trayvon Martin shooting have made being on Facebook an UNENJOYABLE experience. It is sad that one of the pages we like to debate on the author is If the News media, Facebook, or FBI would like to see these screen shots. You can contact me by using the twitter hash tag #FBBullying. Update: Because of the latest events of Mark O'Mara, the evidence that has been released in the public media has gone viral! The Supporters of the Defense Team has used the evidence to harass and bully the Trayvon Martin Supporters even further whereas a Trayvon Martin supporter by copying and pasting this member's real name and address on the HLN In Session main Facebook Page. This has got to stop!231 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Evelyn Ortiz
