• Eliminate State and Federal Rights for Marriage
    The States and Federal Governments give hundreds of rights and benefits to those Americans who are married; single Americans deserve all the same equal rights and benefits. The Governments are discriminating against those Americans who are not married; single Americans pay taxes to the governments and do not receive equality and all the benefits; give equal access to all rights and benefits under the laws to all citizens or deny those who are married any special rights and benefits.

  • Mentally Ill Patients Have Rights Too!
    My petition is in support of St. Charles Health System only using restraint on mentally ill patients as required in OAR 309-112-0000. There are Oregon Rules that St. Charles Health System has violated by restraining mentally patients in non emergency situations!

  • Presidential Pardon for Scott Davis, of PA.
    Scott Davis was convicted of a "crime" which never even happened, in a series of Constitutional violations perpetrated at the behest of, and by, Attorney General Tom Corbett. The President DOES have the power to act on behalf of Scott Davis, as requested - and time is of the essence. Scott Davis is innocent, and should be exonerated and pardoned and compensated for damages by Executive orders of President Obama. This would benefit hundreds of individuals adversely affected by Corbett's hoax, and would be good for America.

  • Move Demo Convention out of N. Carolina
    Since North Carolina voters decided to outlaw gay and straight domestic partnerships, plus gay marriages, let's petition the Democratic National Committee to move their Convention out of North Carolina and into some state that does have legal same sex marriage.

  • Save Community Services for People with Developmental Disabilities
    Community organizations across the State of California who serve people with disabilities are going to lose millions of dollars that they have been promised from the Department of Developmental Services. We need your voice to help us tell them NO! Enough broken promises, we need you to be held accountable to what you say.

  • Parent's right to be in parks with children in Orange County Ca.
    If a parent must register as a sex offender (regardless of offense....even a misdemeanor that happened 20 years ago) they can't be in public parks within Orange County with their child. This violates both the parent and child's rights! A parent is the front line protection for their child. Take that basic right away then we all can loose our other rights quite easily!

  • Stop political harassment in the workplace.
    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.

  • Ban Conservative Marriage in Maryland
    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 Supports gun violence
    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.

  • move the democratic convention out of NC
    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.
