Certain legislators have introduced measures which severely shut out the public and due process. These actions disfranchise citizens, corrupt public policies, and undermine democracy. This is not pono.

The Mn. marriage amendment wants to keep marriage for just a man and a woman. It is unconstitutional. We are all equal.

DemocracyPlusPlus.com is attempting to facilitate a more personal and accessible civil discourse between citizens and candidates for, or holders of elected office. We plan on using a combination of live video streaming with a one-time-use login for individuals to pose questions, then vote for those questions that they feel should be asked. Our hope is that these debates and question-answer sessions will foster a greater interest in politics among citizens and lessen the gap between holders of public servants and those they serve. We create these petitions on behalf and at the request of individuals and concerned voters. To request a petition, visit democracyplusplus.org/petition.html

STOP chipping away at the little gains that the 99% are trying to survive on. You refuse to place the blame for these deficits where they belong. Those who make over $250 thousand and upwards. Yet you attempt to persecute average working poor and those young people who want to attend college, seniors and low to middle income families. Enough is Enough. Get out of our pockets and go after the deep pockets they the money we don't.

Rush Limbaugh's reprehensible attack on Sandra Fluke, the college student who spoke to Congress about women's reproductive rights, calling her a slut and a prostitute and asking her to make a sex video, should be the end of his on-air career. He has in the past attacked African-Americans, Latinos, and other minorities and it is time for him to stop doing so. Let's convince KTSM AM 690 to kick him off the air in El Paso, TX. El ataque verbal de Rush Limbaugh en el radio contra Sandra Fluke, fue reprensible. Ella es una estudiante de universidad que fue a hablar sobre los derechos de la mujer sobre su cuerpo a el Congreso de los Estados Unidos. Limbaugh la llamo ramera y prostituta y le pidio que hiziera un video pornografico. Esto deberia ser el fin de su carrera como locutor. En el pasado el ha insultado a Afro - Americanos, Latinos, y otras minorias de Estados Unidos y es tiempo que deje de hacerlo. Hay que convenser a KTSM AM 690 la estacion de radio en El Paso Texas que lo quite de su programacion.

When a series of FOIAs were initiated to track nationwide testing of the Armed Services Aptitude Battery (ASVAB),it was found that Oregon is leading all other states with Opt-Out compliance (63% vs. 12%, national average). However,,various individual Oregon schools were found to be in apparent non-compliance with existing Federal law. This data found that 19% of these schools not only mandate such testing, but automatically release all test results to recruiters in violation of federal parental opt-out requirements.

When the State of Hawaii accepted the medical use of Cannabis in 2000 by creating Hawaii's Medical Marijuana Program, it did so because of the fact that States have the right to decide the medical use of controlled substances. However, nothing has been done since that time to correct the resulting discrepancy between state and federal law regarding this substance. It is up to the Governor of Hawaii, who has legal standing in this matter, to obligate the Attorney General of the United States to recognize Hawaii's right to decide the medical use of controlled substances, and thereby remove Cannabis from Schedule I.

On March 17th, the NYPD seriously injured several peaceful protesters at the six month anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street movement, including a few that needed hospitalization. No police were injured and no property was damaged. We demand an investigation into the violence.

There is no need to create new voter ID laws because there is no epidemic of voter fraud. These new ID laws will disenfranchise the poor, the elderly, minorities, and students. A democracy is best served when voting is encouraged.
