It is long past time to end the secret Stellar Wind' program (OK'd by President Bush after 9/11) that the NSA/FBI uses to conduct surveillance of US citizens internet communications/e-mail. The program was exposed by Whistle-blower Wm Binney! This program is clearly unconstitutional but far from it being ended by President Obama at this time, a huge storage facility is currently being completed near Boulder CO for storing data from this ongoing program! !

My partner is Australian. She cannot apply for residency in the US based on our relationship. We are therefore forced to spend longer periods of time out of my country than in it. Thousands of same sex couples face the same dilemma. A dilemma not shared by straight couples whose marriages are recognized federally.

Wisconsin Act 10 essentially eliminates collective bargaining for general public employees, but allows public safety employees to be exempt. The lack of the right to bargain does not preclude the existance of a right to be treated evanhandedly as employees. The employer cannot have it both ways. When corporations are deemed to be people for the purpose of campaign contributions (US Supremem Court Citizens United case), unions should be deemed to be people too. It should be a constitutional right to assemble into a union and be able to bargain with your employer, public OR private. .

Senate Majority Leader of Pennsylvania, Dominic Pileggi, is proposing to change the state's electoral college system, so that it would give a clear advantage to Republicans.

A vote for or a signature on the Right to Work legislation in Michigan is a vote against not just the unions, but all middle and lower income workers, and against democracy as we know it in the United States. I have lived in countries without the worker rights we did possess. I know what an impoverished and exploited working class looks like. I know that workers in right to work states make significantly less than workers in other states. I know that workers in right to work states have 53% more worker related injuries than workers in other states. It sickens me to see you, the Governor of Michigan, dismantle worker rights in Michigan.

Thsi Petition is about ensuring individual civil rights for all under our American Flag; advance our representative democracy; protect civil rights. The 2d Class US Citizens (American Veterans) residing in the US Terriotory of Puerto Rico can't vote for their President, in Federal elections; don't have just representation in Congress nor a perment US Citizenship if born in Puerto Rico. After 115 years, Congress hasn't done anyting to change this un-democratic status; ensure equal US Citizenship!

San Diego Police Department is currently attempting to remove exemptions for Non-Profits, holding fundraisers, forcing them to pay large fees and possibly declining to approve thousands of small fundraising events a year without providing the citizens the choice to vote on the issue under false pretense of Prop 26.

I am tired of my vote not counting!!!!

State Senator Pileggi not happy enough that PA, despite voting for more Democrats in US congress sent more Republicans due to gerrymandering; Now wants PA elections run like the Electorial College. One vote should count: this scenario would have given the winner(O"Bama) 12 votes & the loser( Romney) 8 votes. No wonder PA is rated 6 in most corrupt legislatures.

In Nebraska, two non-married people cannot adopt a child, no matter how qualified they are. Without this possibility in our state, so many children and families are being kept from valuable resources and getting denied being legally acknowledged as a family.

The facts show that nearly every Right to Work state has benefited from higher employment and increased revenue with these laws in place. This is win-win for the people of Michigan and its economy.

Its time
