In the spring of 2008, Aaron Fisher--Victim 1 in the Jerry Sandusky case--then a freshman at Central Mountain High School in Mill Hall, Pennsylvania; revealed that former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky had been molesting him since he was 12 years old. However, when Aaron told his mother and school principal Karen Probst about what had happened, Probst told Aaron and his mother, Dawn Daniels, to "go home and think about it" rather than go to the police. As the investigation unfolded, it emerged that assistant principal and head football coach Steve Turchetta had allowed Sandusky to take Aaron out of class on numerous occasions, and even allowed him to take Aaron off-campus. Turchetta never informed Daniels that this was happening, even after growing suspicious of Sandusky's motives. Three years later, during Fisher's senior year, Daniels learned that some other students, apparently blaming Fisher for getting Penn State coach Joe Paterno fired, had threatened to beat her son up. When it didn't appear that Probst was taking the threat seriously, Daniels was forced to remove Fisher from school.

People are being pushed away from their fundamental right to vote. Why? They have to work! We need a national holiday so that working people can vote without having to choose between their country and their job. We could open more poll places because more people would be able to participate in both voting and volunteering. Students will grow up knowing the importance of their parents voices having meaning, of creating true change, and be able to witness it every year. How come we have not done this yet? It is common sense!

Make America's election day a national paid holiday

Ban pre and post employment drug testing for THC, specially in states where Medical Marijuana is legal to use with a prescription. Marijuana is beneficial to health in many ways unlike Tobacco or Alcohol which are legal despite its addiction and bad affects on society.

Voter disenfranchisement.

This election has mmore to gain or lose for students than ever before. National issues are everyone's concern, and students should not have to choose between their interest as citizens and students.

I and many other citizens have a difficult time voting because we have to work during the day. No one looks forward to standing in long lines.

In the interest of fair elections we are petitioning to postpone the November 6, 2012 national election until all voters in the areas devastated by Hurricane Sandy are given an equal right to vote. The storm has displaced hundreds of thousands of residents along the East Coast. Many people are still without power, phones or any form of communication. Many people have no means of locating their polling place, or getting there to vote. If this election is held as scheduled, on Tuesday November 6. 2012, many Hurricane Sandy victims will be disenfranchised from the right to vote. To ensure a fair national election it must be postponed at least until after power is restored.

"In a last-minute directive issued Friday night that could disenfranchise thousands of Ohioans and tip the outcome of the election, Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted changed requirements for submitting provisional ballots on Election Day. The directive requires voters, not election officials, to fill out a confusing form listing the type of ID they provided to vote. This new directive is a clear violation of Ohio law and puts even more votes at risk of not being counted. Secretary Husted has also instructed election officials to not count ballots where that part of the form has not been correctly filled out by the voter. Ohio Secretary of State Husted's high-handed actions are just one example of the rampant egregious violations of Consitutionally guaranteed and hard-won voter rights in this country today. The election's certified outcomes should be withheld until everyone's valid vote is counted. All obstructionists should be held to the fullest extent of our laws. This is a direct assault on America's democracy. No different than the voter suppression of the 1960's addressed by former Attorney General Robert Kennedy.

The Lesbian,gay,bisexual, and transexual demands equality justice among average people. The fact that each of us are real humans also dont make us difference. We deserve our recognition equality and respect.

For months now Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted has transparently and shamelessly manipulated Ohio's election laws with the clear and unmistakable goal of disenfranchising poor and minority (mostly Democratic) voters. He has repeatedly altered voting hours, and summarily fired Board Of Elections members who opposed him in doing so. He personally ordered the installation of new and untested software patches to thousands of Ohio voting machines. In an unprecedented move, Husted mailed out thousands of unsolicited absentee ballot applications. Confused voters who complete these applications then attempt to vote in person will be required to use a provisional ballot - and Husted has recently passed stringent new requirements for which provisional ballots will be counted. Husted's actions are in direct opposition to his duties as Ohio's Secretary of State. Governor Kasich's duty is clear - whatever the Governor's personal feelings, Husted must be fired immediately and his manipulations halted.
