We all know it is wrong to harass people at work about sex, religion, and race, so why is it ok to allow political harassment? Hate radio shock jocks all try to get their opponents angry, and stirred up, and while they have a right to say whatever they want, you have an equal right not to be distacted or offended in the workplace in fact in some workplaces this can actually be very dangerous. Hate talk radio in the workplace should be banned.

Like the great state of North Carolina, we are selecting a segment of the populace and urging our elected representatives to arbitrarily ban their ability to be legally recognized as a family. Sign here if this outrages you, you want to prevent bigots from reproducing, or you believe that people should mind their own business and stop using government to legislate morality.

The NRA wants every U.S citizen should be armed. They want to turn the clock back to the wild wild west. How many innocent children and people die each year because of this Gun mentality? Who hunts with a hand gun or and AK47.

My petition is for people with PTSD to have the right to the choice of a man-made drug or a natural medicine: cannabis.

North Carolina voted to ban gay marriage and even civil unions one day before President Obama announced his support for gay marriage. Having the Democratic convention in NC in September is not the way to follow up the President's proclamation. Because the convention brings in so much money for the state it's held in, it doesn't make sense to bankroll a state that opposes what most Democrats stand for. We probably won't win NC anyway, so let's go to Ohio, or Michigan, or Massachusetts, or just about anywhere but NC.

Is it fair to everyone in this world to hate against the LGBT community. Marriage and family should be privileged to everyone.

The cynical Republican effort nationwide to keep minorities and college students from voting must be exposed. Their rationale of combating voter fraud is unsupported by any evidence of significant voter fraud anywhere in the United States.

Electing the President of the United States is one of the most important events we participate in as free citizens of a democracy, and yet we have to "find time" to vote between job, parenting an other assorted responsibilities. If Election Day became a paid National Holiday, more citizens would have the opportunity to vote without the penalty of lost wages in the event of long election lines, bad weather, or employer intimidation. Our democracy will be more viable, because more citizens could participate, if Election Day were a paid National Holiday.

Take away the pension plan for Congresspersons and Senators and put them on the Social Security Plan. They pay into the plan the receive back the same amount as anyone else would based on their salary and amount of years in the system. Under the current plan both the Congresspersons and Senators plus their spouse receive benefits for the rest of their lives, even if they only served one term. Treat everyone the same.

I support President Obama, who along with so many "thinking" people believe that our nation is about EQUALITY FOR ALL AMERICANS>

Currently the legal age to work is 14 years old, and many youth begin working around 16 years old. They pay taxes on their income and yet they are still unable to vote for policies which affect their lives and livelihoods. This goes against some of the basic principles which inspired the forging of our great nation. It's time to fix the voting age so that anyone who is paying taxes has a say in how they are spent through the democratic process. This will also have the added benefit of increasing the level of interest youth take in our elections and the democratic process and therefore hopefully increase the number of people who take part in each election. Studies show that those who start voting young are much more likely to continue to vote their entire lives. This can only benefit our nation. It's time that everyone that pays taxes had a say in how our taxes are spent.

Whether you call it religious, spiritual, God fearing, God loving, believers, or however else it's best identified for the individual; this community deserves to preserve Biblical standards. It is possible for the GLBT community to have equal legal rights from being in a union with one another, for tax purposes, work benefits, etc. without redefining marriage for all believers everywhere. God's Word does specifically state that marriage is between a man and a woman and was originally ordained for the purpose of reproduction. Let's respect and protect this specific union.
