LGBT Americans can legally be fired in 27 states simply because of their orientation. This does not move us closer to the promise of American equality and fairness. Demand our leaders pass this commonsense legislation!

Voting is a right not a priviledge. To make a citizsen produce an ID is parralled to the "Old Jim Crow Laws: literacy tests, and/or poll taxes".

I do not feel safe shopping around customers with guns strapped to their side. I feel this type of person is just looking for trouble. Also even if the person were to draw the weapon in an emergency, without proper training (which is not required in Nevada) innocent people may well be injured. Statistics show that the owner of a handgun (or their family) is more likely to be injured than a criminal by that gun.

As a Florida voter, we cannot allow another bad election to happen in this state. We need to stop him before he leaves office. We will all be effected by this.

This petition is about the plant Hemp, that the government and others lied to the American People about. We all have been affected.

Amend the13th amendment to remove "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." It should just simply say "Slavery is abolished now and forever." Because slavery was NEVER abolished in the USA. Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

A lot of gay people get criticized every day about there sexuality. some people think its "against god" but in the Christians bible are the ten commandments 1: Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 2: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image. 3: Thou shalt not take the name of the lord thy god in vain. 4: Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 5: Honour thy father and thy mother. 6: Thou shalt not kill. 7: Thou shalt not commit adultery. 8: Thou shalt not steal. 9: Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor 10:Thou shalt not covet which people do every day. in the declaration of independents it says "We hold these truths to be self–evident, That all men are created equal, That they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, That among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.– That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, Deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." The suicide rate for gays is 3 times the rate of straight people. help these people by showing your support and signing this petition. let them know that who they are is okay and will be accepted.

After the 2010 census, the congresional districts in the State of Michigan were redrawn by the Republican party, which had a majority at the time. These districts were not drawn with any kind of fairness in mind, as the party that happens to have the majority just asfter the sensus gets to draw the new districts. This must change.

Many states that are controlled by the Republican party are trying to weaken Democracy by limiting those who can vote and by radically changing the way Electoral Votes are distributed.

Petition Update 1) Matthew was not sent to the Troubled Teen Residential Facility (TTRF) on legal record, but to another TTRF program in Bend, OR. 2) Matthew was not sent away for eight weeks on legal record, but for twelve. 3) Information regarding Matthew’s true location was withheld for over 8 weeks. The police report shows that Matthew’s location was withheld from the police too. 4) TTRF, OR, contacted me a few days later, a phone conversation with Matthew was established, and a handwritten letter from Matthew was received. My visitation was denied and then approved, but information regarding the location of the “field”, 1.5 hour from base camp, was withheld. 5) FBI SF agreed with my evidence and contacted TTRF. My travel partner was approved. 6) Next, TTRF denied my visitation. 7) FBI OR was contacted. FBI Oregon advised me to contact the police to check on Matthew in Bend Oregon which I did. I expressed concern of Matthew’s treatment, medications, psychological testing, isolation from family, extreme conditions, conflicting information in his letter, handwriting exercises when diagnosed with dysgraphia, all suggest Stockholm Syndrome tactics further evidenced by the withholding of basic information including the FTC, Dept. of Consumer Affairs, Article 0185 (Google it) and the House of Representatives Bill H.R. 3126: The Stop Child Abuse in Residential Program for Teens Act (Google it). I was concerned Matthew would be relocated out of the country. 8) Matthew was transferred to a boarding school in Central America where he resides. 9) The Marin County Family Court has since put a restraining order against me from contacting Matthew’s boarding school in Central America, and from contacting any government authorities even if child abuse is suspected. 10) Upon being contacted by the boarding school, an exchange of information was underway to facilitate communication, a new email and Skype account and visitation was proposed. 11) Subsequently, legal counsel threatened me with sanctions for being in violation of the restraining order to only receive information thus preventing me from obtaining information that would facilitate the allowed communication and visitation. 12) Is that entrapment? If you have had a similar experience with the Marin County Family Court endorsement of child abuse neglect or worse, please let me know. Mia Lilien, P.O. Box 884, Mill Valley, CA 94942.
