Recently I passed a sign damning "homosexuals". Angry, I went home and looked under Ohio Laws protecting gay people and found that there were none! We need laws like other states protecting gays and lesbians from attacks: physical, personal and professional! Will you join me in petitioning the Governor to this CAUSE and their RIGHTS!! This should be a safe world for EVERYONE!

This petition is about telling the school systems that they cannot mandate that our children use Ritalin or other drugs as a condition of attendance. This is an unfair and dangerous policy that damages childrens self confidence and important developmental attributes.

voter supression.

For 200 years, the residents of the nation's capital--the District of Columbia--have lived without the same political rights and privileges that every other American enjoys. Congress, a body in which DC residents have no formal representation, exercises complete control over the District's budget and local laws, and did not even allow DC residents to vote in elections until 1962. The only permanent and lasting way to give DC citizens equal political rights to all other Americans is to admit the District to the Union as the 51st state. Doing so only requires a simple majority vote in Congress--not a constitutional amendment. Yet the Democratic Party, in its platform and official statements, refuses to express support for this only true solution. It only makes vague, generic references to giving DC representation in Congress, and refused to allow statehood advocates to speak at the 2012 Democratic National Convention. We are calling on the Democratic National Committee to take a strong stand in favor of legislation that would make the District of Columbia a state, finally giving full democracy and local autonomy to 600,000 disenfranchised Americans.

Nine death-row inmates were executed in Gambia and further 38 are being threatened with the same. Although the death penalty is used in many countries, the absence of transparent due processes and competent judicial institutions, coupled with ambiguous constitutional provisions relating to the death penalty, make it unsafe for its continued retention in Gambia.

MY PETITION IS ABOUT ABOLISHING THE PATRIOT ACT, THAT IS AN INSULT TO THE INTELLIGENCE AND AN INSULT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES, SUCH PATRIOT ACT WAS CREATED ONLY TO BE USED AS AN EXCUSE TO CONTROL THE CITIZENS AFTER THE 9-11 OAX AND TO INVADE IRAK. THAT LAW CASTRATE OUR CIVIL RIGHTS AND CAN BE USED BY ABUSIVE AUTHORITIES WITHOUT ANY REASON. WE HAVE TO RECOVER OUR CIVILS RIGHTS, THIS IS ABOUT REAL DEMOCRACY!

Yes I have! Parchment state prison. Show very much negligent in the care of my son. While he was a prisoner in their care.

A Maryland legislator is trying to go after Brendan Ayanbadejo for his support of gay rights in the notoriously homophobic NFL.More players need the freedom to speak out.I am neither gay for a fan of his team,but he shouldn't be silenced.

Do not require voter I.D. In Pennsylvania. It's unfair to minorities, the poor and the old.

American Airlines prevented Bede, a teenager with Down syndrome, from flying first class. He and his family were forced to change planes and were seated in the last row of coach with a buffer of empty seats. This type of blatant discrimination is unacceptable.

To refuse the help from the Federal Government to those most in need is to choose to keep them struggling under your watch. Governor Deal, do the right thing for the right reasons, regardless of politics. These are citizens of your state, and they need the help. To refuse "the least of these" is to refuse Jesus, as a Governor who claims his Christian faith as a political platform.
