Change the Two Party SystemProportional voting increases voter choice and allows more accurate representation of the political parties in legislature. The basic approach of proportional representation is simple: If you have a 10-member district and the Republicans win 50% of the vote, they receive five of the ten seats. If the Democrats win 30% of the vote, they get three seats; and if a third party gets 20% of the vote, they win two seats. PR voting systems provide more accurate representation of third parties.75 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Friedemann Buschbeck

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 !!20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Charles G. Jones

Legalize marijuanaMarijuana 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.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marc Rosen

Tells McDonnell and the VA Legislature: Let These Kids Go HomeOn 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.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jeremy Hanes

Mayor Reed: Support Your LGBT ConstituentsChuck 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.1,194 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Rick Infantino

President Obama: Give Us Back Our Basic RightsSince 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.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by scott fowler
