We need to focus the proper management of tax dollars into more meaningful programs rather than war mongering, corruption, and greed. We need to funnel money into education, so teachers don't have to spend their own money to get needed supplies for their students, and college graduates aren't paying student loans forever...healthcare, so people are not dying needlessly...jobs and housing, so families do not lose their homes...clean, renewable energy and sustainable living as humans being, so we can have hope for the future without using up our resources...social security, so our seniors don't have to worry needlessly...and most of all, global peacemaking efforts, paying it forward with random acts of kindness so everyone can be who they are, and have what they need, all around the world.

The push to make Voter ID laws that are targeted at Poor, Ethnic, and Student voters is nothing more than a Poll Tax disguised as "Fraud Prevention." Making people pay for a State Authorized form of ID is a tool to disenfranchise people on limited or fixed income.

Indefinite detention of US citizens deprives us of due process otherwise established by our Constitution.

My petition is about improper foreclosure. I understand that thousands of people have been victimized. Move-on members should care because laws have been blatantly broken and the culprits not only refuse to accept culpability but are busy trying to bury the issue. Will these reckless villains and enemies of Society buy their way out of this fiasco?

Religious groups have until February 12, 2012 to move out of public schools and find their own venues of worship. These groups conduct services inside schools when classes are NOT in session, and is not catered towards the schools' students. The religious groups pay rent to the City of New York, and act as refuges for those who seek help. This does not go against the separation of Church and State in that the church has no influence in the state and vice versa for the state as well. Assembly Bill A8800 will give religious groups back the right to utilize school buildings during non-class hours. This bill must be passed as soon as possible. We do not have much time.

This Petition is to every American, Muslim American and Arab American who lives in and cares about our beloved country, the United Sates of America and its people, to STAND UP AGAINST HATE AND BIGOTRY. In my over fifty years of living in this country, the country I love and where I raised my family, my children and grand children, to be loyal, law abiding and productive citizens, I have never been humiliated as much as I was when I was watching the Republican Debate in JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA on January 26th, 2012 As I watched the candidates RACING for the most accolades and most applause they can get by trashing AMERICAN MUSLIMS AND AMERICAN ARABS, I could not but create this petition to collect as many signatures of all concerned citizens as possible. Our target is a MINIMUM OF ONE MILLION SIGNATURES BY NOVEMBER 1st, 2012, To Present to The White House, The Congress as well as, The Republican and Democratic National Committees. As Senator SANTORUM, who did not miss an opportunity in any of the debates, including this one, MARKED AMERICAN MUSLIMS AS JEHADISTS AND EXTREEMISTS, As SPEAKER GINGRICH talked about the PALESTINIAN Arabs, as an INVENTED PEOPLE. It was the same Mr. Gingrich, who at the Islamic Institute of Thought, Washington, DC, IN FEBRUARY 2001, RAVED about the Fantastic Organization of the American Muslim Community, that led to President G.W. Bush's win OF the White House, in the NOVEMBER 2000 elections. As GOVERNOR ROMNEY , LASHED OUT so vigorously , to the REPUBLICAN PALESTINIAN AMERICAN QUESTIONER, AGAINST THE PALESTINIAN ARABS, wanting to destroy Israel, clearly unaware of the truths and details of the Israeli / Palestinian conflict. Nevertheless it was without a thought for Mr. Romney, Bash the Palestinians and get away with it. BIGOTRY and HATE has so transpired across the political spectrum at all levels, local and national that AMERICAN MUSLIMS and AMERICAN ARABS are INSULTED in every speech by BIGOTED POLITICIANS. BIGOTRY and HATE against the American Muslim and American Arab Community, HAS TO STOP ONCE and For ALL. The AMERICAN MUSLIM COMMUNITY CANNOT BE HELD HOSTAGE for the actions of the few, WHO EXIST IN EVERY RELIGION BAR NONE. THIS CAN ONLY HAPPEN BY SIGNING THIS PETITION. The American Community MUST SHOW THAT POLITICIANS CANNOT AFFORD ANYMORE TO TRASH THE AMERICAN MUSLIMS OR the AMERICAN ARABS OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER, OUR VOTES COUNT. The goal of this petition is to collect a minimum of ONE MILLION SIGNATURES by November 1st, 2012, WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT AGAINST BIGOTRY AND HATE against the AMERICAN MUSLIM AND AMERICAN ARAB COMMUNITY, once and for all. WE NEED TO SHOW THAT OUR VOTES COUNT. REMEMBER. Pass this on to Everyone you know.

The man or woman who have been convicted of a crime pays his or her debt to society, and then is released. This population needs jobs in order to sustain themselves. But, more and more companies discriminate against this section of society by denying jobs to those that have been incarcerated. This is a growing problem in this country, and must cease. Legislation is needed to help this group find work.

Sunny Sheu was a victim of mortgage fraud, who discovered that a NY Supreme Court Judge was complicit in the fraud that stole his home. Sunny was officially scheduled to testify at NY State Senate hearing on Judicial Corruption, but before he could testify, he was abducted by two NYPD detectives and threatened with death if he "went to the authorities" Sunny requested witness protection from the FBI and posted a video on Youtube predicting his murder by the judge and the NYPD. Days later, on June 26th 2010, Sunny was found bludgeoned to death on a dead end street in Flushing Queens. Hours after his death, the NYPD illegally removed his body and sent it to the Medical Examiner with a note saying he had dies of an "aneurysm" and that there was "no criminality" The Medical examiner disagreed and ruled the cause of death "Blunt force trauma to the Head with skull fractures and brain injuries." and the manner of death "undetermined", making a criminal investigation mandatory. There has been no investigation. The NYPD has violated NY State law by denying FOIL request for information regarding Sunny's death. The case is thoroughly detailed and documented at: www.sunnysheu.blogspot.com On May 18th, 2011, the Blackstar News sent a certified letter to NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly, describing the case and demanding an investigation. Receipt of the letter was confirmed, but Kelly has not responded. If a whistle blower can be kidnapped, threatened by the NYPD, then murdered without an investigation, all New Yorkers are in dire jeopardy.

Proportional voting increases voter choice and allows more accurate representation of the political parties in legislature. The basic approach of proportional representation is simple: If you have a 10-member district and the Republicans win 50% of the vote, they receive five of the ten seats. If the Democrats win 30% of the vote, they get three seats; and if a third party gets 20% of the vote, they win two seats. PR voting systems provide more accurate representation of third parties.

Stop Corporate Excesses in Advertising on Television and Internet sites.

There has been inequality in civil rights that exist today. People have not been able to be true to themselves and live happily without expressing thier true values. It is unconstitutional to not grant this right to everyone. Signing this petition will create more equality for everyone in our society.

Corporations are abusing their definition as persons, and are increasing their ownership of the political process. Until they are stripped of that personhood, human beings will never regain control of the political process.
