The Missouri House and Senate are considering a constitutional amendment requiring a photo ID to vote, which would unfairly disenfranchise thousands of elderly, minority, and low-income Missourians. Tell your legislators to oppose so-called "voter ID" laws.

The Ohio State Legislature is 2/3 majority for the party that lost the last election; the same with Ohio's Congressional Representation. This is mirrored across the USA. State after State have been gerrymandered to the extent that we no longer have a representative form of government. The House of Representatives no longer represents the vote of the electorate. STOP THE GERRYMANDERING; STOP THE DECAY; SAVE OUR DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS.

The North Carolina State Legislature should abandon G.O.P.-inspired efforts to force North Carolinians to present photo I.D.'s when entering voting locations. Being lawfully registered to vote is enough; voting is a constitutional right for legally registered citizens of this (and every) state, and there is VERY little evidence of so-called voter "fraud". This is simply an effort to suppress voting among certain groups.

We need very strict guns control in the state of texas like in the rest of the country. it is time to be more responsible with arms policies and attitude.

Gays do not have equal rights, which all Americans are supposed to be entitled. They are discriminated and persecuted.

Senate bill 47 is an attempt to limit the time citizens have to gather signatures and have an issue placed on the ballot. We the People have been successful in getting legislation before all of the people. It is our CONSTITUIONAL RIGHT to hold our elected officials accountable. STOP SB 47. Don't allow the State House to steal our right to petition the State Government to stop legislation that infringes on our free excercise of democracy.

The change from winner all to percentages based on voter's choices in elections that you are working on to give Republicans an advantage.

The "Equality" journey from Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, to Anthony's women's suffrage in 1920, to Paul's 1923 authoring of The Equal Rights Amendment, (ERA), to the 92nd Congress, ratification of Representative Griffiths’ 1972 ERA Joint Resolution, and now in 2013, to you, Representative Gonzales. We have talked the "Equality" talk for over 165 years. Let us pay homage to Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Caddy Stanton and Alice Paul's "Equality" dream! Let us come together as Americans living in the greatest democracy, where the will of the people is the basis of the authority of our government. Let us bestow legal equal rights to all citizens, male and female, of the United States of America. The Fourteenth Amendment, requires each state to provide equal protection under the law to all people. All people (male and female) born or naturalized in the U.S., are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. Women, like men, too are citizens, taxpayers, spouses and deserve liberty, justice and equality! It is the new millennium, a new era, and adding ERA to the U.S. Constitution would make it clear that America stands for legal equality of all its citizens, female and male. Now, the time has come, to walk the talk and ratify "The Equal Rights Amendment, ERA, to the U.S. Constitution! Respectfully, we thank you.

I feel that they are people just like you and me. Our message to give out is that "Gays and Lesbians have a right to live as they choose, they don't have the right to redefine marriage for all of us."

Now that Justice Antonin Scalia with his racially tinged rhetoric has exposed himself as a radical partisan, an activist judge in every sense, it is time for the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to demand more impartiality and more decency from the members of his court. We call on the Chief Justice to repudiate Justice Scalia's recent comments and to demonstrate the impartiality of the court.

The Beaverton Police have started performing police stops on innocent people "en masse" while having no suspicion of a crime, and no way to possibly suspect them of a crime, only to find 99% of the people they stopped are innocent. These people are effectively detained, immobile, and forced to show proof of their innocence against theft, under threat of being arrested if they do not show their papers... A TriMet transit ticket. Has this happened to you? If you ride the Max, chances are it has. The Beaverton Police either board the train, or they wait outside the train. Sometimes they come on in rapid swat-like fashion, and they carry GUNS, wear the complete vest/riot gear, and they really get up in your face demanding the ticket. Why should innocent people be subjected to repeated police action? It would seem like the very laws preventing the police from harassing innocent people are repeatedly being violated by the Beaverton Police. What about the constitution? The 4th Ammendment protects against unreasonable search, saying the civilians are "secure in their papers". The 5th Ammendment protects against self incrimination. The Miranda rights provide that you don't need to talk to police. They have violated all these rights. Moreover... We FEEL violated by their actions. We FEEL like our rights of interaction with police... Only if they are investigating a real crime or have suspicion about you personally... have been stripped away, and if they can do THIS... What's to stop them from doing anything? Please..... We need your help.
