During the Obama campaign, we heard many horror stories from people who were unable to get Voter IDs because they lacked birth certificates, were given incorrect info by PennDot employees, were unexpectedly and illegally charged for IDs at PennDOT, were too old, poor, or disabled to get to PennDOT, were confused by constantly-changing State Department rules, had a name on their PA driver's license that differed from the one on their birth certificate, did not want to give up their out-of-state driver's license while attending a PA college, or were harassed for a variety of other ridiculous reasons designed to discourage those who traditionally vote Democratic. We should be ENcouraging people to vote, not DIScouraging them. Time to get Voter ID off the books in PA, once and for all!

In light of other states considering changing the way in which Electoral College votes are cast for the election of President, I understand that some legislators and Governor Snyder are actively pursuing such a change which would, essentially, rig the outcome of a Presidential election regardless of the will of the people. I urge this nonsense to stop and preserve the will of the people in electing our President.

Certain licensed gun dealers in the United States of America require joining the National Rifle Association as a condition to buy a firearm. Certain licensed gun dealers, required by law to provide background checks to legally purchase a firearm, are using a citizens right to purchase and own a firearm granted by the Second Amendment to promote membership in the NRA or other organizations. The citizens of the United States view this as an encumbrance of a citizens right to legally own a firearm, without conditions or influence, granted to them by the Second Amendment. We view this as a violation of the Second Amendement and request Congress to pass a law that says that licensed gun dealers, required by law to perform background checks as a condition of owning a firearm, can not require patrons to join the NRA, or any other organization, as a condition to purchase a firearm.

The Republican Party has decided to gerrymander electoral college votes in key states to steal the presidential election, Wisconsin is one of those identified states. Tell Wisconsin State Legislator and Governor Scott Walker that Wisconsin citizens do not want Wisconsin Electoral College votes to be gerrymandered in favor of any political party, especially the Republican Party. The will of the people must prevail and be upheld, every vote should be counted in our presidential elections and the winner should take all per our constitution!

Republicans in Michigan's Legislature are attempting to change the way Michigan's electoral votes are cast to reflect the district lines they drew to confine Democrats to as few districts as possible. We must preserve our democratic elections, so they continue to accurately reflect the will of the people.

To those concerned about fair and open elections, and transparency.

My petition is about urging our state leadership to not change the rules regarding the proposed changes in the way that electoral college votes in Ohio would be allocated from the current, long standing historical version of "Winner Take All" and instead changing the rules so that we allocate the votes based on Congressional districts.

The 1921 Battle of Blair Mountain in West Virginia is the site of the largest armed uprising in American labor history, pitting 10,000 coal miners against a coal company army. My great-grandfather was one of the leaders of the uprising, later charged with treason for his role. Coal companies today want to destroy the site via the practice of mountaintop removal mining, which would blast away the entire site and erase the history of this struggle for unionism and civil liberties.

The separation clause is misunderstood by a lot of Christians who think their rights to believe and pray are threatened. They also think that our U.S. Constitution was founded primarily on biblical principles, when in fact, their bible was only one of many sources used as a foundation on which to build our great nation.
