• Stop Irresponsible Reporting by the News Media of Heinous Acts
    Providing names, photos, details of massacres only spurs more crazy people into copy cat crimes. The crazy criminal could not afford ten seconds of air time, yet the media gives hours of time to them for free. The more heinous the massacre, the more time they get. It makes them into heroes to other sick minded individuals and gives them a blue print to improve upon.

  • Tell MSNBC: Pull the misleading ads from the GOP!
    MSNBC has recently started to let the Republican National Committee air their misleading ads against President Obama during their regular programming. The past four years all the GOP has done is obstruct and attempt to repeal common sense services that have been in place since 1940's such as medicare and social security. If your tired of the same old rederict and partisan bullying that has come from these people pleas sign below. It makes no sense that a progressive and honest news channel would allow the radical right and republicans to air the misleading attacks against president Obama.

  • Honesty in Reporting
    Many news organizations, as well as a large number of websites that comment on news events should be required to give a more honest look at the news, instead of just forwarding their own agendas.

  • Gun Control Now
    We need commonsense gun control now, including the following: * Ban civilian ownership of weapons designed for warfare, including assault weapons. * Close the gun show loophole. * Limit high capacity ammunition magazines. * Create certificates of ownership for firearms, similar to automobiles, which should be governed by similar regulations, including the need for training, testing, and insurance. I'm a MoveOn member. I'm a gun owner. I'm a Christian. I'm a Grammy-winning country music producer. And I'm asking us to come together, in the wake of one of the deadliest mass shootings in modern U.S. history, and stand up to the NRA by calling for an end to senseless gun violence. El Paso. Dayton. Gilroy. Santa Fe, TX. Parkland. Sutherland Springs. Las Vegas. Sandy Hook. Columbine. Aurora. Virginia Tech. How many more innocent victims must die at the hands of an antiquated and oft-misinterpreted amendment? Enough. It's time to say that thoughts and prayers are no longer enough in the face of gun-related tragedies. We need meaningful action. Gun control doesn't mean no guns. I'm a gun owner, and I'm not suggesting that we take guns away. I'm suggesting that we put tighter controls on acquiring and owning them. We must ban assault weapons and all weapons of war. We simply cannot fast track the use of silencers or allow public access to armor-piercing ammunition. Gun show loopholes must be stopped. Ammunition should not be sold online. Mandatory wait periods should be enforced, during which time a thorough background check, psychological and medical evaluation, and character references should be completed. More accountability should be placed in the hands of retailers. When patrons refuse wait periods, authorities should be notified. Training and testing should be mandatory, as should a renewal process that includes many of the above-mentioned evaluation terms. I would hope that we could all agree to submit ourselves to these terms. Currently, it's easier to go to a gun show and pick up a firearm than it is to go to the local pharmacy and buy cold medication. Acquiring and owning a gun should be at least as controlled as getting a license to drive a car. Gun control alone is not the whole of the solution, but it's a start. And if it saves one sweet life, it's worth it.

  • An Amendment Limiting Political Contributions
    The United States was founded on the fundamental right of citizens to have a voice in their government. The Citizens United ruling has given corporations and individuals with huge sums of money a disproportionate voice in the financing of political campaigns, effectively limiting the First Amendment freedoms of individual citizens to participate in their government.

  • Rescind Merger of Duke Power and Progress Energy
    Duke Power and Progress Energy merger is unfair to customers due to projected rate hikes following the merger. The details of the merger were not fully disclosed to the NC Utilities Commission, Federal Energy Regulators, and the public. The lack of transparency is a breach of trust. Costly repairs and upgrades will unnecessarily burden the electric utility customers of these/this electric corporation.
