• Voter ID requirement - the new Poll Tax
    If the State or the US government should begin to require voter ID at the polls, then the State needs to provide that photo ID at the government's expense. TSA (Transportation Safety) at all the airports has cost the government (the taxpayers) over $50 Billion. They have effectively uncovered and confiscated numerous nail clippers, bottles of perfume and shaving lotion, but to date no terrorist. Think what that money could have done for our educational system. At least we would have safe and better equipped schools for our children. Photo Identification unless provided at State expense is a new "Poll Tax" which has been determined to be unconstitutional. Please sign to stop this right wing paranoid foolishness about requiring a photo ID to be allowed to exercise the right to vote.

  • Change the US Constitution!
    The United States constitution hasn't been changed since the 27th amendment passed in the 1980's. This petition is calling for a Consitutional Convention to take place ASAP at a date and location to be determined later. This convention should be used to update the constitution's amendments to conform with our modern values and encode certain protections already written into law and legal opinion (such as the right to privacy) but not into the constitution itself.

  • Demand Berkeley DA Drop Charges Against Peaceful Protesters
    Last November 9, UC Berkeley students, staff and faculty tried to set up a small encampment on campus, in solidarity with the then-burgeoning Occupy movement and in opposition to the ongoing privatization of the UC. Campus police and Alameda County Sheriffs viciously beat the students in order to stop the tents from going up. Now, nearly four months after the fact, 13 people are being charged with misdemeanors for the events of November 9, even though most of them were never arrested.

  • Congress must honor their Oath of Office
    The Patriot Act is clearly in violation of the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution and the courts refuse to even hear any case that challenges its constitutionality. The Patriot Act needs to be allowed to expire as it was intended.

  • U.S. Supreme Court Declares Open Season On Strip Searches
    The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that police and law enforcement agencies can now conduct invasive strip searches for ANY OFFENSE, if the suspect is being introduced to a prison population. It no longer requires that the officer have a reasonable suspicion of hidden contraband or weapons. This pertains not only to federal and state penitentiaries, BUT ALSO local precinct holding cells and detention centers. AND, you do NOT have to be convicted of a crime; it can apply if you have been arrested or detained and are awaiting a magistrate or hearing. People have been detained and strip-searched for offenses as minor as: -driving with an inoperable headlight; -failing to stop at a stop sign; -having outstanding parking tickets; -driving with a noisy muffler; -violating a dog leash law; -failing to pay child support; -riding a bicycle without an audible bell; and -trespassing during a demonstration (and this happened to a nun)

  • Demand The Pope To Ratify Love!
    Every year, millions of Catholics around the world die knowing they're not going to Heaven for a love they cannot control. It's heartbreaking, especially knowing that the Church accepts that some people really are born that way, yet simply aren't allowed to act upon it. Fortunately, there is hope: “And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of Heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in Heaven.” Matthew 16:18-19, New International Version (NIV). This excerpt is from the book of Matthew, and it holds a secret truth that few Catholics are prepared to speak openly about: Our love simply doesn't have to be taboo anymore. If the Pope declares it permissible on earth, it's permissible in Heaven, too. I'm calling on all Catholics, LGBT Activists and Supporters to petition the Vatican to do the right thing, and "loose" an archaic rule which has barred us from Heaven for so long. And if we can do this, perhaps we can do more than just save a soul. We might even save lives.

  • Designating Mental Illness
    Mental Health conditions in the USA still have room for improvement. Many suicides are still committed even though the patients are on medication, and receiving therapy. A lot of these people are considered normal during grade school and high school, so what happens? We need to assess the underlying pholosophy of labeling, and examine the current sulutions for cures.
