• Make Same Sex Marriage Legal in Nevada
    My petition is about equal rights for equal folks. I also believe that this move will cause an immediate impact on the local economy of Las Vegas, Nevada considering all of the marriages that occur there already.

  • Revoke D.O.Energy contractors Legal fees
    My peteition is about The fact that D.O.E. hires contractors to manage their D.O.E. National Labs. Those private Corporation are supported and totally funded by the Government, which is collected as a tax from the American people. For their legal fees ,expenses and settlements when they commit a criminal violation, or civil rights violation against their employees and private contracters.any employee who files a E.E.O.C. vilolation complaint is subjected to the response of a fully funded and the power of the best legal law firm, paid for by the American people and the very employees that are the complaintant or whistleblower. This special fully funded Legal fee reimbursement, not only costs the American people over 30 million dollars a year(estimated costs),it encourages and promotes the contracters ability to violate the civil rights of its employee regarding sexual harrassment, racial bias,discrimination for race and age related offenses. Without the expense of financial expense (which is an deterrant) of all violation and many more, they find it a situation that it pays for them to committ these crimes as a business blueprint. I ask that any Contractor that manages any D.O.Energy be 100% responsible for their own civil rights vilolations crimes,expenses and its legal fees and settlement. The employee must pay their houseold money,that they cannot afford , to fight for their civil rights. Againt a company the work for and pay for in taxes. 30 million dollars of our taxes. This is abusive and a violation of te Federal laws.

  • Access to Accurate Information Act
    One's ability to make an informed decision or choice relies upon one's access to accurate, unbiased information; due to money driving our information delivery systems, citizens of The United States no longer have access to accurate, unbiased information.

  • National Indian Day
    Native Americans are the foundation to the existing ground we walk upon today; we are the people from many generations of strong people. This day of recognition will bring awareness and educate citizens throughout the world in a positive manner and influence people to express their support and respect to our Native American people. There are several great Native American leaders. The date of April 22 which is also Earth Day seems to be an appropriate time, since Native Americans protect our Mother Earth. This will permit so many people to contribute observation by 'closing' which would conserve in so much positive mannerism. I think everyone should sign this petition, since there is not a specific date for ALL to observe on the same date together. Why you should sign my petition? It is the tribal people who will contribute a helping hand and peaceful traits to all people for generations to come. That is a proven fact.

  • Amend the Air Carrier Access Act of 1986 to Allow for a Private Cause of Action
    In 1986, Congress enacted the Air Carrier Access Act of 1986 to prohibit discrimination against passengers with disabilities by commercial airliners. However, recent federal court decisions have narrowly interpreted the statute to deny a private cause of action in federal district court. Congress clearly needs to include an EXPRESS private action in the ACAA to prohibit unjust, discriminatory treatment by air carriers.

  • Voters Rights is today's Civil Rights
    We should be making laws especially Voters Laws easier for the American People not harder. I think that everyone should show proof that they are of age & should be able to vote. The voting stations should take photos of everyone that votes and if there are any fraud, those folks should be severely punished with a huge fine and possibly jail time. I think there should be a law to keep lawmakers from making it harder for voters to vote, but instead make ways to broaden voters. Any lawmakers that changing Voters Laws should be responsible for providing ALL accommodations to ALL effected voters, IT SHOULDN'T BE THE PUBLIC RESPONSIBILITY TO BE ABLE TO VOTE , IT'S OUR RIGHT AND THE LAWMAKERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING IT WORK for ALL.

  • Ban Tasers
    Tasers are used by police. Tasers kill (or immobilize) people by delivering a 50,000 volt shock. This shock can and has killed people , including healthy people. When police officers use this device on unarmed people, the young the elderly; they are executing innocent people. Without charge and without trial. Until TASERS are 100% safe and the company TASER International, are willing to pay for the deaths they cause (and will cause) then TASERs should be banned.
