Whoa, Kris KobachThis is a governmental petition to OPPOSE the proposed legislation by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach to move forward the new election laws for proof of citizenship when a first time voter applies for registration from January 1, 2013 to June 1, 2012, which enforces the citizenship requirement for the 2012 election. Kansas Secretary Kobach, the author for preventing aliens to vote by showing proof of citizenship, also known as the "Birth Certificate" law, has become zealot in thrusting ahead with legislation to change the effective date of his election laws so they will be in effect for the 2012 Primary and General Elections. Kansas legislators are being coerced to vote for the proposed legislation. It must be noted that the Kansas Secretary of State's Office does not recognize a governmental petition. Kansas University publications are for different states, not Kansas. In Kansas slang, Whoa, Kris Kobach. Hold on there partner. You are not a wild mustang. Leave your laws alone. We don't need your kind around here.117 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Randy Conyers

Ask the State Department to help free Pat Alloco and his sonAmerican concert promoter, Patrick Allocco, and his son were kidnapped at gunpoint in Angola after their client, rapper Nas, failed to show up at a New Year’s Eve performance there. Nas was paid $300,000 in advance for the conference. The Angolan promoter allegedly kidnapped the Allocos, demanding repayment of the advance. The men were later released but their passports were being held and they are unable to leave the country. Nas has paid back some of the money but refuses to pay the remaining $100,000. January 11th, Alloco alerted his Facebook friends that he was being arrested, the State Department has not been able to confirm this report.950 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Mello

Repeal the Patriot ActThe Patriot Act is anything but patriotic in its nature and intent. The privacy and civil liberties of American citizens are disregarded in this law, created in the wake of September 11, 2001.476 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Deborah L. Jones

Reinstate Assult Weapons BanIn 2004, the Clinton Assault weapons ban was allowed to expire . Senate Bill 6396 banning the sale of assault weapons was introduced shortly after Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was wounded and others were killed at the "Congress on Your Corner" event in Tucson Arizona. The House allowed the bill to die. This country needs to reinstate the Ban of Assault Weapons so that tragedies of this magniitude are prevented. We urge congress to pass this very important "Homeland Security" bill.23 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joanna Learner

Stop discrimination against elderly coop homeowners!Homeowners over 65 years old are supposed to be able to get reverse mortgages guaranteed by HUD, called HECM's for short which stands for Home Equity Conversion Mortgages. In 2008 Congress included eligibility for seniors who are homeowners in cooperative housing. But so far HUD has failed to issue regulations which are needed to tell mortgage lenders how to handle HECM's for coops. Thus coop seniors like me cannot get the reverse mortgages for which we qualify in theory. This petition asks the White House to force HUD to do its job.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Vicki Strang

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative License Plate in GeorgiaSeveral states across the U.S. currently have Dr. MLK Commemorative license plates to honor one of our country's greatest heros of all time. The state of Georgia is the birthplace of Dr. King and where he and Mrs. King are buried. The State of Georgia DMV requires a minimum of 1000 applicants for the commemorative license plate and a representative design or logo prior to offering the item to vehicle owners. Commemorative license plates could preserve Dr. King's dream forever and proceeds could support the MLK historic site.27 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Edward D. Sanders

Protest NDAA 2012President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 into law on 31 Dec. 2011 . This law codifies the practice that begun under Pres. Bush that allows the military to detain an American citizen indefinitely, without charge or trial, if they are a "suspected" terrorist. This takes away the constitutional right of due process. Although Obama issued a signing statement when he signed the act into law, the statement that he will not misuse this authority is not persuasive and is not binding on future presidents. This is an outrage that needs to be vigorously protested!2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gene Ragland
