I am starting this petition because it's time that religions learn they don't own marriage, education, morality or our country. WE ALL DO. We don't all trust in a God. Don't force us to live that way. Also we should be able to hold public office, and be married without a religious official. WE ARE AMERICANS TOO.

My family spent all of Summer 2014 touring our amazing country, logging close to 15,000 miles by minivan. We stopped at numerous National Parks and Monuments, and a few Presidential Libraries that my mother wanted to see for the first time. At each spot, we wanted to purchase a souvenir. To our disappointment and dismay, it was challenging to find anything produced domestically. We love our global neighbors, but it is saddening to think of slapping a Grand Canyon magnet manufactured in China on my fridge to represent an American Treasure.

To provide, WE THE PEOPLE, the right to know what ingredients are in our food supply. HR 1599 is hereby OPPOSED By WE THE PEOPLE notice sent to CONGRESS by MoveOn.org

To reinitialize the investigation into Scott Walker and to stop cronyism from undermining the democratic process in the state of Wisconsin.

In a recent decision, the Wisconsin Supreme Court stopped the John Doe investigation into Gov. Scott Walker for Campaign Finance Law violations. However, it has been reported that the majority opinion was written by and supported by Supreme Court Justices Michael Gableman, David Prosser, Patience Roggensack and Annette Ziegler--each of whom have received donations from the very campaign organizations that Scott Walker is accused of colluding with in the John Doe investigation. It is thus clear that these four justices failed to disqualify themselves due to conflict of interest under Federal Law 28 U.S.C. § 455. There is reasonable cause to believe their ability to remain impartial is substantially hindered by their vested financial interest in those being investigated.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court recently ended the investigation of possible illegal activity between Scott Walker's 2011-2012 recall campaign and outside special interest groups. Four of the justices of the court were the beneficiaries of dark money spent in their behalf and which was the heart of this case. They should have recused themselves and did not. This type of behavior can happen all across the country: in Wisconsin, many states and the U.S. Supreme Court, it is up to the court itself to adopt recusal rules. Demand that judges adopt strong rules and abide by them to ensure our courts are fair and impartial.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court recently ended the investigation of possible illegal activity between Scott Walker's 2011-2012 recall campaign and outside special interest groups. Now Wisconsinites and the rest of the American people will never know if Scott Walker and his campaign engaged in illegal activity during 2011-2012! Four of the justices of the court (Michael Gableman, David Prosser, Patience Roggensack and Annette Ziegler) were the beneficiaries of dark money spent in their behalf — and dark money was at the heart of this case. These judges should have recused themselves and did not. In Wisconsin, it is up to the court itself to adopt recusal rules, which they voted against doing not long ago. Demand that they adopt strong rules and abide by them to ensure our courts are fair and impartial.

Thousands of Americans are suffering today.

We want recall rights in the state of Florida.

Republicans have STOLEN Florida's vote! It's time for them to return it back to the people!

Faced with a flood of secret money in every aspect of politics – and the pressure of regular Americans like you who just want to know the truth – the U.S. House Leadership chose to protect Dark Money. They advanced a 2016 Appropriations bill in which they hid multiple amendments specifically blocking the current and future President, SEC and the IRS from increasing disclosure. They surreptitiously buried these items in the bill because – just like secretive Big Money donors – they don’t want voters to know what they're doing. One amendment blocks any action or even presidential executive order requiring government contractors to disclose political spending. Another bars the IRS from reining in the massive abuse of non-profits to funnel money to partisan activities. Another bars the SEC from requiring publicly traded companies to disclose their political spending to stockholders or voters. These amendments are an insult to voters. Worse, they put Dark Money beyond the reach of the law and prevent disclosure vital to democracy. Tell the U.S. House of Representatives to oppose the bill until these shameful shadowy amendments are removed.

To usher in the New Age the way we should, not in the same direction we have been heading in.
