Folks in North Dakota want Senator Heidi Heitkamp to take a public stand in support of marriage equality as the Supreme Court gets ready to decide the future of Proposition 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act. Will you support this please; everyone deserves equality no matter who you love, same-sex or not.

Opponents of same-sex marriage claim that marriage for the purpose of procreating and/or raising a family , they must not allow marriage between a man and a woman who are unable to, choose not to, or are too old to raise a family. The point is, they will never demand that, thereby they are being highly hypocritical.

54% of Hoosiers oppose a ban on Gay Marriage, but Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller is the primary author of briefs to the Supreme Court in the cases heard today, on California's Prop. 8, and tomorrow, on DOMA. We need you to stand up publicly to the bullies and bigots along with the majority of Hoosiers in support of our friends, neighbors, co-workers, and families. I have married gay friends in California and elsewhere, and gay relatives who cannot get married in Indiana.

I live in a town that flourishes because of the university students. Many of them make their homes here permanently. Others live here for several years. Their presence makes this a better place. Yet, our elected officials keep making it more difficult for them to vote. Now they want to stop many of them from voting at all. If Indiana seriously wants to stop the brain drain, this is not the way to do it. If we allow the legislature to take voting rights from students, who will be next--women, blacks, the disabled? We must stop it NOW.

If we are going to allow for critical unskilled labor as a part of immigration reform, let’s ensure their children have a fair shot at the American dream. In 1938, child labor protections were exempted for agriculture. As a result, today an estimated 400,00 to 500,000 children legal work in agriculture. These kids are NOT the children of farmers; they are hired help whose health and education are compromised. They work in conditions most adults can’t physically tolerate. An estimated 65% of these children will not finish high school, a waste of potential. We are creating a permanent underclass of citizens. Each generation is supposed to do better but, if your children work instead of study, it’s rare. A child born to a farm worker is treated separate and unequal, denied protections from pesticides, arduous work and denied basic protections of non-agriculture children. Let’s take this opportunity to end a double standard. Agriculture is a profitable business. ADM boasts 62 billion in net sales in 2010. Cargill #1 Private Company with 109.84 billion in revenues. Agriculture doesn’t need to survive off the back of children.

My grandmother is 97 beautiful years of age, and hasn't driven for 27 years! Her voter ID is her heating bill. I"m asking your help in rejecting HB 1332, which would require a photo ID. She has fought for her rights and it's time for us to fight for those of our elderly!

People in the Indiana State Legislature want to ban students from out of state who attend college here and live here from voting in Indiana elections. Students have every right to vote in the districts they live in, and if some student is living in the ISU Dorms, and attending college, they legally live here, and have the right to vote in Indiana elections by law. Don't allow these students to be disenfranchised simply because they are attending college, and trying to better their lives. Call on the Indiana State Legislature to reject House Bill HB1311, and protect the rights of students to vote. Thank You!

This petition is a pledge, a thank you and a farewell to 33 year old Tomas Young, one of the most prominent and inspiring Iraq War vets/anti-war activists to date, and who is now facing his own imminent death.

Senator Claire McCaskill has publicly announced her support for marriage equality: "Our government should not limit the right to marry based on who you love."

Students at UW-Madison union have been calling on UW-Madison administration to cut the university’s contracts with the company. When students asked UW-Madison Chancellor David Ward if he'd stand up for workers' rights and for my co-workers and I, he told them that he would not support “these workers, not today.” Ward’s comments are terrible and they also ignore recommendations from the the UW-Madison Labor Licensing Policy Committee and a recent report from the Workers’ Rights Consortium—an organization UW-Madison is affiliated with—that found Palermo’s Pizza violated labor law, retaliated against us for trying to form a union and illegally fired workers. Tell UW-Madison Chancellor David Ward you won’t tolerate his comments.
