Republicans are trying to stop early voting!!!The voter suppression efforts are in violation of the 15th Amendment past in 1870. Americans must demand that congress enforce the 15th Amendment and uphold the rights of American citizens to vote. 15th Amendment Amendment XV Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nicolette McClure

Fighting To Abolish State Laws Prohibiting People from FREELY FEEDING AND SERVICING People Within...This Petition is Written for US (The American People) , to abolish ANY and ALL State Laws in Pennsylvania, as well as ALL other 49 States that are prohibiting US(The American People) in FREELY FEEDING AND SERVICING ANY AND ALL PEOPLE WITHIN OUR COMMUNITIES Who need assistance. I have personally been affected by the issue above through having dealt with being homeless for the past 11 months myslef. Having to experience struggling to make a way and feed my children has shown me first hand how these laws only hinder our people from helping those who need help. There are plenty of people that would help other people out but tend to shy away due to the laws and regulations set in place within there own communities. This only keeps our people oppressed and crime and poverty high.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by I'Mirror Queen

Governor of PA-Tom Corbett- Allow all PA residents the right to vote!The Republican governor in PA and the Republican Congress are making it very difficult for almost a million people in the state of PA to vote in the Presidential Election in November, 2012. They are forcing people to get an ID in the next 60 days. They are demanding that people get the ID yet making it difficult to acquire those ID's. Pennsylvania House Majority Leader Mike Turzai said that a recent voter ID law passed in his state "would allow Governor Romney to win Pennsylvania."2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by J. Parkinson

FREE RUDWAN-- (A USA RESIDENT) HELD IN PRISON IN SUDANRudwan Dawod spent six months in Sudan and South Sudan last year leading a number of humanitarian projects and was featured in an Al Jazeera documentary titled, "How to Mobilize a Million" (watch it on YouTube). In his most recent trip back to South Sudan at the end of May, he was leading a reconciliation effort in which Muslims would help re-build a Catholic church in protest to a recent church-burning in Khartoum. The government of Sudan was aware of Rudwan's plans to enter his native country and they were waiting for him. Approximately ten days after he arrived in the north, Rudwan was arrested along with a dozen others in Al Haj Yousif at a demonstration he helped organize through Girifna, a youth movement calling for change in Sudan through peaceful, non-violent protests. They were speaking out against the austerity measures and increasing cost of food and basic goods, and against the violent crimes of the government. The police beat Rudwan unconscious and then went to his home to arrest his father and brother. They vandalized their home, stealing their money and valuables. Shortly after, Rudwan was taken to the NISS headquarters while the others remained in Haj Yousif Police Station. He was deprived of sleep and was tortured for days as they mocked and insulted him for his work in re-building the church in South Sudan. They beat him on his back and feet until he fainted, trying to coerce a false statement from him that he was CIA. Local government-controlled papers featured front page stories that a “terrorist cell” had been arrested and the leader was married to an American. It claimed we were part of a Darfur military movement supported by South Sudan to bomb several market places in Khartoum. While initially held incommunicado with visits denied to any lawyer or family member, Rudwan was soon transferred to a prison in Omdurman by order of the court after he appeared visibly exhausted and unable to walk well. We believe media pressure also played a key role in his transfer. The others being held in Haj Yousif were brought to Omdurman Prison to join Rudwan, where they remained until everyone except Rudwan and Ahmed Kawarti were acquitted on July 25th. There are five (5) charges against Rudwan and Ahmed, including Attempt, Abetment, Rioting (with violence), Calling for opposition to public authority (with violence), and Criminal and terrorist organizations (with violent intent). The most serious charge is punishable up to ten years in prison or the death penalty. The court will make their decision on August 13th. Armed with only a flyer, Rudwan and Ahmed are completely innocent of any of these accusations and fabricated lies. The flyer called for others to demonstrate against the lack of food, increasing transportation fees due to loss of oil subsidies, and unemployment rate after graduation. They asked others to take to the streets and protest against the corruption of the government that caused the secession of the south, destruction and death in Darfur and the mass killings in Nuba Mountains and Blue Nile. (Copy of flyer available upon request.) Please help us keep the pressure on Sudan 's government to release Rudwan, Ahmed and the thousands of other peaceful protestors being held. It is NOT a crime to call for peace, equality, justice and democracy in Sudan !! For the love of his country, it was Rudwan’s conscience-duty. “The only guide to man is his conscience; the only shield to his memory is the rectitude and sincerity of his actions. It is very imprudent to walk through life without this shield, because we are so often mocked by the failure of our hopes and the upsetting of our calculations; but with this shield, however the fates may play, we march always in the ranks of honor.” Winston Churchill Nancy Dawod Springfield, Oregon6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nasr Haggam
