• Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative License Plate in Georgia
    Several 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.

  • Protest NDAA 2012
    President 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!

  • Stop CPS from legally stealing children
    Child protective services has over stepped their bounds and are padding their numbers to make it look like they are needed, by lying about the amount of abuse cases. Child protective services break so many constitutional laws and laws written to back the constitution just to steal our children and break up families. Children are being ripped away from loving families because people claim their abuse, without proof, and Child protective services without due process take children from their homes. When A crime has supposedly been committed it should be left up to the police department to investigate, and give parents their due process. There is no need for child protective services to existence, especially when our founding fathers were against such governments in the first place. They make laws which somehow has ignored what the constitution says, we reserve our rights of not being harassed and be accused of a crime in which they fabricate. They court system they use is a kangaroo court with no real justice, and they use threats and intimidation to kidnap children from loving homes, merely because they can, it has to stop. They aren't suppose to exist, they do not protect children once they get them they put them in hellish foster homes, with people who only care about the money they get for each child taken. When a parent stands up for their rights they fight back with fabricated evidence to take their children away. There so much corruption that it is in our power to abolish a government when has become corrupted. Now here is your chance to tell congress to abolish a government that is corrupted. Better laws need to be in place so that the small percentage of children being abused is protected. But a branch of government call child protective services needs to go, they don’t look out for the best interest of the children, they look out for their best interest of themselves. they put people in their pockets by paying them off in order to get what they want. us the people NEED to make a stand against CPS and the courts stealing our children to better THERE financial status, and by there I mean the people who work of CPS/DHS and the probate court. When CPS was originally formed, it was supposed to PROTECT the children who were being abused, that they could prove abuse in the home, and to HELP families stay together. But now the CPS and probate court are looking at dollar signs, And in the process there are hundreds of thousands of families who have to suffer the emotional and mental distraction of CPS tearing apart their family. CPS and the courts (in emmet co. that i know of for sure) in their pockets right along with a lot of the lawyers. The lawyers up here in Northern Michigan told us we have a case to get our children back. BUT Yet NOT 1 of them will go after the county, BECAUSE they will tell u straight out, because they have to work and live in Emmet county, and they know that the county will intimidate them until they moved just because they went up against them. How are you supposed to get ANY justice and help with protecting and fighting for the rights for your 4th amendment when no one will even help, because they are too scared to go up against the county. The news media won’t either because they are afraid of our county. Where is the justice???? Freedom of the press and freedom and speech?. All that Emmet County is showing is that they can do what they want because they pay everyone off or scare them. How long are we going to allow them to do this?

  • State of Kansas' Dept. of Wildlife and Parks anti-seniors agenda
    Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks, and Tourism is wanting to balance their budget on the back of senior citizens. If they can convince the legislature and Governor Sam Brownback, beginning in July of 2012 senior citizens will no longer get reduced rates at State parks. Those 65 and older will no longer be exempt from purchasing fishing and hunting permits starting in 2013. Let us send a message to the Governor and legislature that we don't agree with this method of increasing licenses sold by removing a benefit of longevity.

  • Remove Special Interest Money and Lobbyists From Politics
    Our elected officials are working for the interests of the big money donors not the American public. This is far from a Democracy. Rule by the people for the people has been disrupted and corrupted by all of the special interest money.
