• Limit the Lobbyists
    If we cannot forbid lobbying, we must demand laws that limit lobbyists to their salesman roll. They can sell their goods but the lobbyists or the company or organization they represent cannot pass along bribes to our political leaders in any form. We must demand that this be considered bribery and punishable with very harsh prison terms to the lobbyist and CEO of the organization or company that he represents.

  • Deaf Civil Rights
    This petition is designed to express the concerns of Deaf persons in the Deaf community. What is of major concern is the way we have been treated by the majority in society. Specifically, there has been little - if any - input sought from Deaf persons concerning the use of cochlear implants. These devices have been used without the input of persons who are Deaf or who have an interest in the Deaf community. As a result, the rights of persons who are deaf have been infringed upon by the actions stemming from the prejudice and unverified assumptions of the cochlear implant industry. This is a violation of civil rights in the medical and/or surgical implementation of unfounded procedures. We need to stop implanting any children or Deaf children; that's what the whole issue is about. If you share this concern please sign below. Any comments are welcomed with no neutral comments, please. Deaf persons - especially Deaf children need to have their civil rights respected. The infringement of the rights of Deaf persons - especially Deaf children needs to stop. This includes a full recognizing the use of the use of American Sign Language or their language. It will go to Deaf Civil Right March for them to see how many Deaf persons sign it up for this petition; that might help, too. TIME FOR US TO HAVE OUR DEAF CIVIL RIGHTS and DEAF HUMAN RIGHTS for Deaf Diversity of all ages!!!!!

  • Proper Management of Funds
    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.

  • Put An End To Forced Voter ID Laws
    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.

  • The Fabrication of Foreclosure
    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?

  • Support Bill A8800
    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.

  • STOP the HATE and BIGOTRY Against MUSLIM AMERICANS and ARAB AMERICANS
    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.
