• Stop discrimination of employment
    The reason I am starting this petition is to help put a stop to discrimation of those who have been previously convicted of a felony. I was convicted of a class 6 felony in 2008 and since 2009 when I was released I have not been able to find employement. People say that when a person does their time the sentence and punishment is served. Where is the justice for those that made mistakes and are still paying for them. For instance the coviction that I pled to was for attempted aggrivated domestic violence. And since the conviction I have applied to Lowe's Home Improvement on several occasions. All of which I have been told that I am not able to be hired due to my answers on my assessment. How is this possible when the majority of my working life has been in customer service with the highest remarks? It is because of my background and even though my civil right have been restored I am not given fair treatment and I wanted to start this because I am sure that there are others out there that are expierencing the same unfair treatment.

  • Preserve The Florida "Stand Your Ground Law"
    The trayvon martin shooting has created a massive problem for gun owners rights. Florida Governor Rick Scott has employed a task force to look into this excellent law. "Stand Your Ground" The law was passed overwhelmingly in 2005. It always law abiding citizens the ability to protect their life or families life without being prosecuted. It also prevents the bad guy to file a civil lawsuit against the good guy. This law is in grave jeopardy due to the unfortunate shooting of Travon Martin. One incident should not effect the rights of millions of Floridians plus millions of other Americans in a few dozen other States. Please sign this petition if you want to preserve gun laws in the USA.. The Castle Doctrine started in Florida in 2005 & spread to 26 other States. If Florida changes the Castle Doctrine, other States will follow.

  • Civil Rights Office in North Carolina Public Official Accountability
    Private US citizens of NC currently do not have an office to submit a grievance letter to for due process to report racial discrimination or misconduct of public officials, because there is no state office to investigate public officials misconduct , these private citizens will have to pay a lawyer to navigate the state Court of Appeals. Many can’t afford a lawyer and never receive justice. A state civil rights office will give all a fair chance at justice. Currently many families and children have been targets of racial discrimination and hate crimes. Please watch our video of the Student with No Hope. Take action with your signature and help us stop the HATE. http://youtu.be/68_lW1ge1dE

  • Time To Come Off The High Horse
    Our petition is about promoting empowerment, and positive American History. Lexington, KY is full of positive uplifting history, however our city is littered with negative landmarks. Streets named after public lynching sights and slave auctions "cheapside" referring to the cheap slaves and live stock. Lexingtons "old" courthouse has a Confederate solider statue on Main St next to Cheapside. We feel taking action to have this statue removed would be taking a step closer to rid our country of racial insensitivity.
