• Personhood Ammendment
    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.

  • Revoke DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act)
    Help end discrimination and give equal rights to all people. As long as DOMA exists, there is government sponsored discrimination against a whole group of human individuals. Everyone deserves the right to date, live with, marry the one they love and create an existence as a devoted, loving couple; with all the rights and privileges as other citizens of the United States. EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL !!

  • Legalize marijuana
    Marijuana should be legalized because it is a medical herb that treats many ailments. Even recreational use should be legal since the use of Cannibus in that fashion is a preventitive measure. Denying Americans to grow, possess, and use Marijuana is to move us away from the natural cycle of life.

  • Tells McDonnell and the VA Legislature: Let These Kids Go Home
    On February 3rd, the Virginia House decided to backtrack and make discrimination legal when it comes to adoption. After this law is passed, private and faith-based organizations will be legally protected from denying anyone the right to adopt or foster based on age, sexual orientation, political beliefs, disability, gender, family status or religion. We need to call on Governor Bob McDonnell and the state Senate for voices of moderation and reason by not signing this bill into law.

  • Mayor Reed: Support Your LGBT Constituents
    Chuck Reed, mayor of San Jose, has previously declared his stance against LGBT rights and allied himself with right-wing evangelicals, threatening the separation of church and state. San Jose is the tenth largest city in the country, and its one million inhabitants reflect the rich diversity of the West Coast. We now call on Mayor Reed to join the vast majority of American big-city mayors, stand up for San Jose gays and lesbians and their allies, and reverse his stance on marriage equality by signing his name to the U.S. Conference of Mayors Resolution 46: Equality and Civil Rights for Gay and Lesbian Americans.

  • President Obama: Give Us Back Our Basic Rights
    Since 2001, the United States government has been passing strange laws which seriously impose on our basic rights and go so far as to nullify many of the provisions laid out in the United States Constitution, most notably the first ten, our Bill of Rights. The Patriot Act, as well as the recent National Defense Authorization Act is illegal according to what we as a country have upheld as universal laws since the formation of out nation. It is morally wrong and schizophrenically obdurate to continue to wave our flag of freedom while systematically infringing upon the sovereignty of other nations who do not follow the 'inalienable' rights ideals which we in turn do not adhere to as a people. Tell President Obama to amend the constitution so that laws which conflict with provisions of the US Constitution are not only 'unconstitutional' but simply cannot pass or exist and will not be tolerated or enforced by any branch or 'bureau' of the United States government or its 'employees' on the basis that they are utterly unacceptable and unquestionably immoral.

  • Stop Voter Suppression in Pennsylvania
    The Pennsylvania Senate is considering legislation (HB 934) that would create obstacles for citizens trying to exercise their right to vote, making it impossible for some to make their voices heard. In June, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives passed House Bill 934 (HB 934) almost entirely along party lines, sending it to the Senate for action. The bill requires valid state or federal photo ID from all Pennsylvanians at all elections before they are permitted to vote. HB 934 is an expensive voter suppression bill that would make it harder for older citizens, young adults, people with disabilities, racial minorities, and lower-income people to vote. This petition is sponsored by the Protect Our Vote Coalition, Advancement Project and PA Voice

  • Repeal Sections 1021 and 1022 of the NDAA
    On January 31, Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act into law. Sections 1021 and 1022 of the NDAA is very dangerous to our freedoms. It allows for the indefinite detention (without trial) of American citizens. It also allows for the military to turn turn America into its battleground. Who can be detained? According to the NDAA, anyone who has"committed a belligerent act [against the United States] or has directly supported such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces.” This language is so vague that it can include those American who are just exercising their constitutional rights of free speech and right of lawful assembly. This is a blatant violation of our Bill of Rights. But we can stop it. We must urge Congress to repeal sections 1021 and 1022 of the NDAA. But we must hurry. The law goes into effect on March 3.

  • Say "No" to Enemy Expatriation Act
    The Enemy Expatriation Act (HR3166 and S1698) is currently winding its way through Congress. This bill is very dangerous. It adds "engaging in or supporting hostilities against the United States" to the list of acts for which United States nationals would lose their nationality (without trial). This would mean that you could be picked up and indefinitely detained simply by disagreeing with the government. Our freedom of speech will be totally be gone. We must stop this bill in its tracks.
