Please vote to stop Racial Profiling in Watertown Ny

More and more states are banning and outlawing gay marriage. The most recent state was a surprise. North Carolina, a supposedly "progressive" state, outlawed the basic human right of matrimony just because the humans happened to be of the same sex. I live in New Jersey. I am family friends with a gay couple who have been living happily for years. I want to attend their wedding and help bring social justice to homosexuals in this great state of ours. Tell our state legislature to get a bill passed. Get them to pressure Chris Christie into signing it. If he vetoes it, help the Democrats representing our state shove it up his throat and allow these US Citizens the same matrimonial rights as heterosexuals/

Democrats in the House have proposed raising minimum wage to $10 and hour. Raising minimum wage will allow large numbers of people, particularly women and minorities, to better support themselves and their families. We all know that America tends to look down on individuals who are not completely self sufficient, but also creates systems that make it impossible for people to meet that goal. Raising minimum wage will allow countless people more dignity and respect, as well as breathing room in their budgets.

If RICO gets passed on the State level I assure you all our black children will be at risk for unfair targeting under this act. Illinois is a corrupt state as it is and with entrusting them with this type of power it will surely be abused. Every black person will be labeled a "known gang member" and would then be subject to prosecution under this law. Sign to stop this NOW!!!

Pro-Life. Imagine a cure for cancer, or some other disease. God had sent us that such person in the form of an unborn child only to be snuffed out by abortion. The aborted child, a precious gift, grows up and discovers a cure for breast cancer. A woman's health issue. Please protect all life in our constitution.

This petition is for anyone who agrees that all Diebold voting machines are rigged and should be scrapped..it's time to get back to old fashioned voting..no cheating machines.

• With over 2 million prisoners, USA is on the top of the chart for total number of prisoners, holding 23 % of total global inmate population on the planet. • 67 % of people released from prison are re-arrested within 3 years of their release. Why Meditation in Prison: Prisoners share common characteristics, although they differ in age and social background. Most of them are highly impulsive and have low self-control. Meditation gives people a conscious choice and chance to become aware and in control of their behavior. Kundalini Yoga & Meditation are magnificent shortcut to restoring power, harmony & energetic balance in the human body and living happy, stress –free, fulfilled life. Successful Examples of Meditation in Prison Meditation has brought to the American correctional system /the practice has also been successfully introduced in Mexico, Australia, as well as in US women’s prison/ a way out of the debate about how to administer change from the outside by giving directly to the inmate the responsibility and means to change from within. Outcomes of Kundalini Yoga & Meditation National researches conducted over a decade in the US, show that meditation the practices lead to : • Improved executive functioning: o Improved self-control and self-awareness o Improved attention skills • Reduced stress and anxiety: o Decreased anxiety o Decreased blood pressure • Reduced misbehavior/aggression • Improved attention skills and social skills • Increased positive emotions We believe integration of Kundalini Yoga & Meditation in Prisons will contribute to improved self-control, self-awareness and decreased levels of aggression of prisoners and future crime prevention! This will create much more humane and effective prison system. We believe that every person deserves a chance for healing, in order to build a free, safe, healthy and happier future society!

For 36 years, Leonard Peltier has been in Federal penitentiary for the responsibility of a shoot-out between the FBI and a small Lakota summer encampment on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Many people have called for his release" Amnesty Intl, Desmond Tutu, Nelson Mandela, Robert Redford and others. Obama has done nothing to further human rights during his administration. It's time for a presidential pardon.

One of America's wealthiest churches is trying to send Occupy Wall Street activists to prison. Last year, Occupy Wall Street sought sanctuary on vacant property owned by Trinity Wall Street Episcopal Church when they were evicted from Zuccotti Park. The church's rector, ignoring pleas from Christian leaders like Archbishop Desmond Tutu, had the occupiers arrested and charged with criminal trespass. Those arrested, including a retired Episcopal bishop, are scheduled to go on trial next week. They're facing up to 90 days in prison, but so far Trinity's leaders are cooperating with the prosecution and falsely claiming that the situation is now out of their control. So a group of prominent New York City pastors is organizing a last-minute prayer vigil seeking to have the charges dropped. We're hoping to give them a petition signed by over 10,000 people to deliver to Trinity Wall Street -- will you add your name?
