California can turn the tide on unlimited secret money in elections by passing the California DISCLOSE Act, a measure that will reveal the shadowy interests who try to buy elections with deceptive ads. The California DISCLOSE Act (SB 52) would bring true transparency, requiring ballot measure ads to clearly show their actual three top funders on the ads themselves – so Californians know who’s trying to buy their vote. The bill is close to passing, but now some of the biggest interests in Sacramento are trying to kill it. Assemblymember Chau will be a key vote. Sign and share our petition asking him to vote Yes now.

We all will be WORST-OFF before 1928!!!

I want the United States of America to recognize and act on the fact(s) that "felons" are everyday being discriminated against when seeking employment. I know employers have the right to hire whom they please and may, but it is ridiculous when the employer wants to hire you, but the headquarters of that company tells the employer not to hire you. I want the President along with the House of Representatives (both Republican and Democrat) to all come together and create a solution to this problem. I am not alone in this situation. As a youth I never predicted I would become a man with two felonies, but I am as of today and for the rest of my life. There are many felons here in America. Life is nearly hopeless as a felon. I have been turned down from jobs with Wal-Mart, Target, and many other great jobs I sought to re-integrate me, only because of my background check. I never understood these truths until I became a felon myself. Why do they (felons) end up back in prison? Hardly anyone wants to hire a felon, and if they do they are not willing to pay them enough to survive. This is a matter that has NOTHING TO DO WITH COLOR. I want to see justice done here. I want the EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION to end. Felons are still human beings. The only difference between a felon and a non-felon is at least you know what the felon's struggles are. There is no deadline for this petition I am creating. I just hope this can be the beginning of this movement and hopefully end with a change in the employment field. Discrimination is real and it hurts. This is a serious matter. I can be contacted at [email protected] or (903)353-4896. Justice for all means FOR ALL.

Rogue, corrupt law enforcement is destructive threat to national security. Too many lives have been wrongfully lost to police abusing their power, authority and badge.

I am a property owner, voter and taxpayer who tries to support local businesses. I see first hand how hard Elaine works and want to support her business. I find it unethical to expect the business to shoulder the City's responsibilities.

I'm sick of the corrupt system and want to do something about it instead of talking about it

The American People do not feel safe in our own streets. This has become intolerable. Additionally, we don't feel safe with the current NSA tactics employed to spy on our own nation. The time has come to step up as leaders of the free world and choose Peace first. #NOMOREWAR #NOMOREVIOLENCE #WCF #LOOKDF

This moveon.org petition is about a Petition to add a Rezoning Referendum in Howard County, MD to the ballot in Nov 2014. The petition circulators, asked registered voters in Howard County to sign the petition in order for the citizens of Howard County to be able to vote on whether or not they want big development in many portions of the county. The circulators got 7000 signatures, more than enough for the ballot. The short story is the developers with their money and their lawyers have served the petitioners with subpoenas and some with writs for potential arrest! One of the intimidation lawyers, William Erskine, is up for reappointment to a position of serious power on the Howard County Economic Development Authority. We find this a most egregious conflict of interest. Mr. Erskine (of Offit Kurman law firm, Fulton, MD) is the prime attorney for the Moxley development firm: Normandy Ventures. He is the one who has threatened and intimidated Petition Circulators with being video deposed, asked to produce intrusive degrees of documents, and, finally, being hauled into court by the sheriff. He, speaking for Big Money Development in Howard County and is out to quash citizens right to free speech, petition their government, and their right to referendum. We do NOT want Mr. William Erskine on the Howard County Economic Development Authority. There will, most likely, be many challenges to zoning in the future. We cannot allow Mr. Erskine to have free reign over citizen’s rights in Howard County.

When Tom Corbett was Pennsylvania's Attorney General he prosecuted state legislators for using taxpayer money for campaign related activities. Now that he is governor, he has been skirting the laws regarding mixing his official duties and campaign activities. The conservative Pittsburgh Tribune-Review's investigation revealed that Corbett has been regularly having his campaign aides participate in official state policy meetings. (Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, August 4, 2014) Conservatives and liberals alike have condemned this practice as unethical and probably illegal mixing of campaign and official duties. Now Corbett is using taxpayer money to hold a campaign-style event promoting his Administration's job record. (http://jobs1stsummit.com) This event touts Corbett as a leader in job creation, despite his actual dismal record. "How many hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars are being spent on this event being held in the height of the election season?" asked Keystone Progress in a statement. "And if this is really about job creation and not Corbett's reelection campaign, then why did it take Corbett over 3 1/2 years to hold the first 'Jobs First' conference?" Tell Tom Corbett to stop using taxpayer money to support his reelection campaign.

Recent decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court, in Citizens United and McCutcheon, have unleashed a flood of unregulated money into our elections. These decisions are having a corrosive effect on our democracy, allowing special interests to drown out the voices of regular citizens. That’s why I’m supporting an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to overturn these disastrous decisions, and allow us to restore transparency and reasonable limits to campaign contributions and spending. The American people deserve an election system that is fair, transparent, and accountable. Sign the petition: add your name to my call for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and McCutcheon. Thank you for standing with me in this call to action!

More and more teens are killed evey year by their own reckless driving. They are too concerned with their cell phones, Facebook, Twitter, etc., and not paying attention to what they're doing and killing innocent people in the process. My 15-year-old cousin was killed recently by a reckless teen driver whom she was in the car with. He was speeding, not paying attention, and lost control. The car was cut in half by a tree; the driver and passenger survived. All three teens in the back died, including my cousin. Also, I want the teens to have their temps for a year before they can get their licenses. So, at age 17, they would get their temps, and at 18, their licenses. All people no mater what age must have their temps for 1 year before obtaining their licenses if they have never had a driver license before.
