• Fire Senator Scott Brown's racist staff!
    Staffer's partaking in the Tomahawk" rally after the debate between the Senator and Elizabeth Warren should be fired. They are government employees, consequently paid by taxpayers. Their actions were intolerable as government employees of a US senator- no matter the political party of a member of the US Congress.

  • Justice For Theodore Scott
    Theodore Scott won Gold Peak Tea's Take The Year Off Contest for $100,000. Theodore was later disqualified by Gold Peak Tea/Coca Cola because they alleged that Theodore violated a particular section of their contest rules which was to say at least ambiguous, vague, and overly broad (in which one Coca Cola high level personnel admitted to the ambiguity). Theodore refuted the claim that he violated the rule in question, however, Gold Peak Tea/Coca Cola did not relinquish their position because they wanted to protect the image of their company. When Theodore pointed out to Gold Peak Tea/Coca Cola officials that the other contestants including the new designated winner violated explicit and expressed rules, Gold Peak Tea did not act on this information and did not disqualify these contestants for their rule violations. Many people have been extremely hurt and outraged over the way Theodore Scott was mistreated by Gold Peak Tea/Coca Cola and are now calling for justice. We're asking people to sign this petition and stand up to the injustice that was done to Theodore Scott. Follow our cause at https://www.twitter.com/GoTeamTheodore.

  • Puerto Rico admission as the 51st state
    After more than a century as a colony of the U.S., Puerto Rico deserves a serious approach in the part of the President and Congress to solve our political status. We are tired of the the usual spiel or litany that we have to take action first and decide what we want. No, we need to know what are you willing to accept as a non-territorial status to conform the policy of the United Nations. Then we will conduct a plebiscite with the options acceptable to you. Results will be transmitted immediately for final action.

  • Fathers Have Rights Too!
    My brother is fighting to protect his rights to see his daughter without interference of the court ordered agreement by his child's mother. She has interfered with the order over 5 (documented) times and still nothing has been done. Why do double standards have to exist in these types of cases? I am concerned that the stereotype of the 'deadbeat dad' has negatively affected my brother's case. Here's a father who is fighting the right way, and has been let down by the very system that's supposed to be fair and just. The Attorneys involved have the opportunity to right the wrongs in this case and many others like it. Let's stop this vicious cycle of pounding on men who are fighting to help raise their children!

  • No drone summary executions without trial
    The government has made it a policy to murder persons, including american citizens without trials using drone bombs resulting in thousands of civilian deaths and america losing its standing abroad as a nation that respects due process. This policy should be stopped in favour of using laws and courts.

  • National Voter Suppression Racketeering Charges
    My 91 year old friend Catherine may not be able to vote for the first time in her life simply because her drivers license has expired and it is due to the ALEC motivated ,unprecedented Voter Id laws currently being forwarded across our great nation in over 30 states by GOP controlled state governments. This is voter suppression, pure and simple and it is illegal, immoral and totally Un-American.

  • Stop voter suppression in Ohio
    People across the United States and in Ohio can barely believe that Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted is considering even more restrictive voter ID rules by reducing the types of IDs accepted at polls. It is happening, and we demand that Husted stop trying to suppress the vote in Ohio by these and other practices.

  • Impeach Florida Governor Rick Scott
    A few months ago the Republican led congress voted to hold US Attorney General in contempt of congress for withholding information from Congress. http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/story/2012-06-20/holder-contempt-House-vote/55717644/1 When Attorney General, Democrat Thurbert Baker refused to make advances to block the Affordable Healthcare Act Georgia lawmakers attempted to have him impeached. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/25/georgia-attorney-general_n_512970.html Well on a number of occasions Governor Rick Scott has either not cooperated with the Federal government for the betterment of the people of his state or down right refused to comply with Federal legislation. Some of his actions include: Vowing to fight all the stimulus money (although he later used some or all of it). http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/political-animal/2011_06/scott_learns_to_stop_worrying030033.php Rejecting Federal Funds for a High-Speed Rail Line that could have brought thousands of new jobs to Floridians. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/17/us/17rail.html?_r=0 Refusing to comply with the Affordable Healthcare Act and turning down millions of dollars in federal grants to create a state-run "exchange" to help consumers compare insurance plans and prices. http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2012-09-23/news/fl-health-care-presidential-issues-20120918_1_health-care-affordable-care-act-new-law And now he is trying to illegally infringe upon, tamper with or block the legal rights of voters in his state. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ryan-campbell/voter-suppression-in-florida_b_1840793.html
