This international "trade agreement" has been being negotiated behind closed doors since 2006. First, it would supercede a country's own laws. In essence it is implementing itself above the democratic processes. Akin to SOPA and PIPA it would tragically impede the internet as we know it. Additionally, it would establish a worldwide reduction in civil rights. We need to act now. Please sign this petition to tell President Obama, Congress and Senate we do not want the USA to ratify ACTA.

While SOPA and PIPA appear to be defeated, there is still another bill to be afraid of. H.R. 1981 hides behind child pornography to excuse taking greater control of the internet and keeping logs far longer than they are required. The right to privacy extends to the internet.

Lamar Smith has a new, even more terrifying bill called the "Protecting Children From Internet Pornographers Act", which would require ISPs to log ALL of your transactions you make online for up to 18 MONTHS on the premise of catching child pornographers.This bill far over-reaches even the danger level of SOPA and PIPA, and it has already passed through its committee. Below are relevant articles containing information about the bill: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d112:h.r.1981: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2011/08/the-legislation-that-could-kill-internet-privacy-for-good/242853/ This bill is in strong violation of the 4th Amendment's unlawful search and seizure writ, and should be immediately and permanently removed from the docket under such grounds. Other means of stopping child pornographers are readily available without having to treat every citizen as guilty by logging their internet behaviour and looking for "guilty" actions. This bill grants an utterly unreasonable amount of power to government agencies and ISPs to police through the elimination of personal privacy, and this is utterly unacceptable. Jayce Stock

In Eureka, California, a chain link fence has been erected around the lawn of the County Courthouse to keep the public out. Leaders have been targeted and arrested repeatedly Without cause for merely being present in an effort to end the occupation of this central public space. Violence has been used by law enforcement resulting in physical injuries resulting in broken ribs and head injuries. Personal and community property has been seized and destroyed-- everything from pop-up canopies, a library of resource materials to homeless persons winter survival gear.

This petition is about stopping the violence against prepubescence.

Fighting online piracy is important. The most effective way to shut down pirate websites is through targeted legislation that cuts off their funding. There’s no need to make American social networks, blogs and search engines censor the Internet or undermine the existing laws that have enabled the Web to thrive, creating millions of U.S. jobs. Too much is at stake – please vote NO on PIPA and SOPA.

This petition is for those in opposition of the SOPA and PIPA bill that the senate is considering passing. This bill is in direct violation of freedom of speech and the free information act. Please sign this petition and let your opinion be heard!

To stop the government from passing the SOPA or PIPA bill which would give the government the right to censor the web

Voter suppression laws have been implemented by the Republican Party in many states, especially here in Georgia. After all of the blood, sweat, and tears shed by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights pioneers, we DO NOT want those rights to be taken away! Please sign this petition and urge the U.S. Senate and U. S. Congress to ensure that all American citizens will have the PERMANENT right to vote by making additions to the verbiage in the 15th Amendment and Voting Rights Act. Resources: Library of Congress.

Have the government not let the OPA take in to effect! If it is passed, sites such as Youtube, Google, wikipedia, Wikia, and WAY MORE! could be shut down! PLEASE SPREAD THIS PETITION SO WE CAN HAVE 1 MILLION SIGNS!

I am being evicted from public housing because my son and daughter have not completed their community service. I pay $968 a month for rent and I'm being evicted. I have no extra money to move right now. I live from pay check to pay check. Don't get me wrong I am furious with my son for not completing it and I already forwarned him he would have to move if it comes to me being evicted. So he will be moving to Alabama with his dad. My daughter did make up most of her hours last year and then misplaced her paperwork. I can't put her out because she has a 2 yr old. I can't believe you can be put out for this. I rented this house not my kids and I pay my rent every month and their are a lot of problems with my house that have not been addressed but they get my rent every month.
