Governor Quinn, this petition is to help restore the dignity to ex-convicted criminals; those that have been sentenced, served their time/penalty and returned to society. It is an injustice for them NOT to have the liberty to exercise their right to vote. They are yet citizens of the United States of America and not second class citizens and should be treated like-wise. Please give these citizens the right and freedom to vote in the state of Illinois.

The petition supports of unity to provide reasonable personal gun ownership of non-assault type weapontry.

Ohio has the chance to repeal and replace its 2004 Marriage Ban with a constitutional amendment that will allow a gay and lesbian couple the freedom to marry in a civil marriage. Marriage allows two loving people the right to make a public commitment to one another. Gay and lesbian couples want to marry for similar reasons as anyone—to make a lifetime promise of love, commitment, and responsibility to each other. Only marriage provides the protections families need in a crisis. The language of the Amendment has been certified by the OH Atty. General, unanimously approved the OH Ballot Board and has survived an OH Supreme Court challenge. Please support OH's Freedom to Marry and Religious Freedom Amendment. Provide family security and religious freedom by stopping the government from dictating to religious institution who may and may not be married.

There should not be one person in the United States that has their privacy invaded, their property rights ignored, or that is taken forcibly with no due process, by those who should protect the civil liberties that we are guaranteed under the US constitution. Yet many have, under the strength of the Patriot Act. The federal government will not acknowledge this destruction of civil rights, and so we petition state legislators to denounce the Patriot Act. Oregon has had a proud history of disagreeing with federal mandates, and takes invasion of privacy and property rights especially seriously. By acting locally instead of appealing to the federal government, we can at least keep our state free from this unconstitutional act.

North Carolina residents are concerned about proposed so-called "voter I.D." legislation that requires voters to show varying forms of I.D. when they show up to vote. The simple fact that up to hundreds of thousands of voters may become ineligible to vote and that there have been virtually no cases of voter fraud makes it imperative that we protest such a law.

Here's the deal. Since the GOP likes to talk about America's Debt. How we've conveniently forgot and swept under the rug the debt America owes to the folks who really built this country and their descendents.

Enhancing our education system.

Many of those seeking employment in the current economy have have been unemployed or underemployed for some time. As a consequence their ability to meet financial obligations is impeded and their credit score suffers. Using an individuals credit score as a factor in determining whether or not to offer someone a job is unfair. A credit score has no bearing on an individual's ability to perform a job.

All 4 of my children have experienced extreme prejudice and racism in the various districts that they've attended over the past 17 years. The State of Arizona is rampant with teachers who blatantly discriminate against black students and the various administrative/districts do nothing to reprimand staff hence the problem continues. I have been unsuccessful in fighting this fight alone as I have fought for mine along with other students while being a Substitute Teacher but am terminated for my advocacy. Please help me help the youth to be treated fairly as the Constitution reads and they recite daily, Thank you!

Reinstate all officers who have been relieved of duty by their police forces for either publicly or privately supporting the decriminalization of Cannabis. The majority of the public now supports Cannabis legalization. End the irrational prohibition of Cannabis, and initiate rational legislation to prevent the unjust abuses currently taking place against those who support or advocate for its well-documented benefits. Peace officers have the right to support the scientific, industrial, medicinal and institutional benefits of Cannabis legalization.
