Violating Amendment #1-Freedom of the pressAfter reading that the FBI had copied the phone calls of the AP reporters, I expected my emails to be flooded with outraged citizens asking me to man the barricades with them and demand that the confidentiality of their sources be respected as inviolate. Sadly, the only request for my signature on a petition was to support the marriage of two characters on a television show. Where is our moral indignation? Isn't it apparent to everyone that one of our greatest protections comes from the shielding of investigatory press? No whistle-blower, who may be the only witness to gross fraud, is going to step forward and chance all kinds of retribution without the protection of anonymity until all the facts can be uneartthed.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Casper Roos

Eliminate The Electoral CollegeDue to the Electoral College these "well- to-do" people were able to take advantage of their role of choosing the president for the people by placing their electoral votes to George Bush. The shown & believed policy is the presidential candidate that wins the state gets the electoral votes (number of votes vary by state). The other part not talked about is the fact the the electors have the right to overrule the people's popular vote and shift their votes to the candidate THEY CHOSE. This is exactly what occurred in the 2000 Pres. Election between Gore & Bush. Al Gore won the popular vote yet somehow George Bush received enough electoral votes to win that election by way of this idiotic technicality. The Daily Press had his story on the the front page where one of the electors was quoted saying " I made what I felt was the choice for the American people in electing George Bush" More truthful eyes are on these elections so its a hard thing to duplicate. Which is why now they are trying to adjust districts of states to make certain areas electoral votes counts more than others. The electoral college needs to go before another controversial election occurs38 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mainframe Magazine

Craig Watkins: Don't Seek the Death Penalty Anymore.The death penalty does not act as a deterrent. It is also exorbitantly costly and deeply flawed. We demand that Texas DA's stop seeking the death penalty and instead embrace life-without-possibility-of-parole (LWOP) as an alternative to the death penalty.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Hadi Jawad

Tell AFLAC to cover same-sex MARRIED couplesAFLAC came to my work place to try to sell their product. The same-sex couples who are married were denied the ability to purchase an AFLAC product that would cover themselves and their family (Spouse and children). They could purchase a product that would cover themselves and the children however because AFLAC had not yet changed its policy the non-covered spouse would have to buy an individual product to receive the benefits. The state where I live passed the Marriage Equity Act in the summer of 2011.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jeanne Claire Cotnoir

The First Amendment has been repealed.33 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kevin Zabbo

Anti-Gay Marriage Propaganda: Doctrine from God?I seriously doubt a loving and merciful God would harbor essentially a hate-clause for people who either choose to be or are born gay. It's not necessary for humankind to feel like they need to be self-proclaimed judges in this case, for God has that covered, and He thanks you very much! I have two brothers, one of which is gay, and I feel he was born that way. Does that automatically condemn him to the flames, and do the other two us men automatically get a better deal in being saved? I seriously doubt it. I vote for LOVE. For GOD IS LOVE. The time to act is imminent- no delay needed any longer.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tom Kennedy
