Prosecute banks, financial institutionsThe state should sue or prosecute these institutions for fraud, using RICO and all other crimes committed which allowed the taking and devaluation of homes and property These would include the illegal use of electronic transfers of title used by the banks. These transfers should be clarified by the governor and the secretary of state. These transfers violate the laws of contracts and real estate on the face of those laws. These are direct violations of "illegal taking"3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Pat cameron

Fair Districts- Fair VotingState election supervisors can not be biassed toward, or actively working for, a particular candidate, and fairly oversee election law. In recent years, even the pretense of objectivity has been ignored. States must enact non-partisan election boards to oversee elections and eliminate gerrymandering.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Christopher Mahon

One person, one voteThe Electoral College violates the principle of one person, one vote and should be eliminated. It was put into the Constitution as a compromise between electing a president by a vote of Congress or by a vote of citizens. It gives voters of more populated states a smaller say in an election than voters in smaller states. Thus a president can be elected even if he or she loses the popular vote, as happened in 2000 (Bush vs. Gore). This is clearly undemocratic and should be ended.191 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Faith Evans

Trader Joe's discriminates against same-sex couplesI miss Trader Joe's. They've got great prices for great food, but what they don't have is health benefits for employees' domestic partners or other "soft" benefits such as bereavement leave. Shocked? Me, too. I believe that all families should be treated equally. Check it out: http://www.hrc.org/apps/buyersguide/profile.php?orgid=13517#.UEv5MIl5mc0 Anti civil-rights sites such as lifesitenews even tout Trader Joe's as a place for "pro-family" shoppers. Not sure which families they mean, as they seem to be against some families I care about! http://www.lifesitenews.com/mobile/blog/the-best-and-worst-places-to-shop-in-2012-if-youre-pro-family I'm on a budget and I have three small kids and work full time. I miss Trader Joe's. I plan to be missing it until they bring their civil rights into the 21st century. Sign below to let Dan Bane, the CEO of Trader Joe's, know that you care enough about supporting the human rights of their same-sex employees that you're pledging to skip shopping in their stores November 1-15, 2012 (but feel free to join me and stop now, if you're as shocked as I am.)349 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Julie Smith

Defend religious freedomThe Republican party has captured the myth laden ideas of "freedom" and "religion" and uses them, with great success, as propaganda to further their corporate agenda. They imply that it is patriotic, and in the service of freedom, to have a closer union of church and state. The founders would be appalled; they recognized that the separation of church and state was necessary for religious freedom. The radical union of church and state proposed by the religious right is a threat to both religion and to freedom.301 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Joe M Lamb

Petition to Decriminalize MaijuanaSince the mid-1930's possession or growth of marijuana has been a federal crime. It was born out of racism since, at the time, it's use was mainly among blacks. Over the years, various methods have been used by the federal government to enforce this "crime." With the advent on the "War on Drugs," it has truly become a war. People including women and children are being murdered daily and dumped in the streets of the Mexican border towns. Billions of taxpayer dollars have been used to enforce the drug wars with no tangible success. And despite the fact that at least ten states have legalized marijuana for various uses, the federal government continues to prosecute those caught with even small amounts of the substance.This has made the U.S. the nation with the highest number of prisoners incarcerated of any country in the world for drug offences.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Neil Jacobson

Investigation of the death of my sonI probably will not listened, but I have been affected emocionally for the death of my son. He was kill by a Target truck on 10-29-11, he was only 22 years old. The police report was done based on the testimony of the truck driver, and eventhough that the Lawyers that I have asked for help have seen that the Police Report is not not consistenly and the pictures taken from the accident doen not much the graphic in that report, they do not want to hire an expert to do the reconstruction, neither to inspect the trucks and the data recorded from the black boxes. If your office have the time for a mother that is devastated for her lost, please reply my e-mail. With depply appreciation, Miriam Monjaraz10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Miriam Monjaraz
