Gay Blood RightsI don't understand why homosexual men can't donate blood, especially when lesbians can. It just makes no sense! Here is some more information on why this issue is still going on. First off, homosexual men are not even screened or given a questionnaire. Why not? Just because they are possibly more susceptible to HIV doesn't mean they shouldn't be screened at all! The FDA tries to cover this up by saying the screens aren't always accurate, yet men and women alike who have many partners/sexual relations other than MSM(male having sex with males) are allowed to have a screening and questionnaire unquestioned as long as they aren't prostituting. This, in my opinion, is unjust and unfair, so I think that we should all join together in trying to get people to pay more attention to this honestly ridiculous issue.52 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Amanda Wagner

Governor Li XueyongThere comes a time when every breastfeeding mother dreads their sweet baby biting down on them while nursing. Some women fear this moment so much, they will actually stop nursing altogether just to avoid being bitten. Since babies will practically gnaw on anything that relieves the pain of teething, it’s not unusual for them to bite. There’s even another reason a baby will bite that you probably never imagined: Babies bite as a sign of affection. When a baby does this, mothers usually take them off the breast and put them down in a non-punitive way to let them know that biting means an end to the nursing. But one mother in eastern China’s Jiangsu Province decided to take matters into her own hands–leaving her eight-month-old baby boy in a pool of blood. Xiao Bao is lucky to be alive after his mother stabbed him 90 times with a pair of scissors, mostly on his face, for biting down on her nipple while breastfeeding. One of Xiao’s uncles found him in the yard of their home and rushed him to the hospital. After getting more than 100 stitches, the infant is recovering. Despite neighbors pleading with the local government to take custody of the poor child, Xiao will remain with his mother and two uncles. Please see the link below for the picture of this little baby boy. http://unseenvines.com/details.php?86&news=8811 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marta DeLarm

Save Saint Andrew's in NYCSt. Andrew is a Roman Catholic parish church in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, located at 20 Cardinal Hayes Place, Manhattan, New York City. It was established in 1842. Above the entrance to the church, an inscription in Latin reads "Beati qvi ambvlant in lege Domini," which means, "Blessed are they who walk in the law of the Lord." It is vital to the community as well as the thousands who visit it regularly. St. Andrew has merged and its parish is currently at risk of being closed. Today, St Andrew in NYC is located and intertwined with the seat of New York City, State and Federal Government and it needs to remain viable church parish community including its weekday commuter parishioners. Please sign the petition, visit our church and pray for our success.137 of 200 SignaturesCreated by J Canepa

Stop private militias in the state of TexasTexas Government Code 437.208 states, “A body of persons other than the regularly organized Texas military forces, the armed forces of the United States, or the active militia of another state may not associate as a military company or organization or parade in public with firearms in a municipality of the state.” The extra-judicial armed groups now patrolling several areas on our state’s southern border are manifestly organized “as a military company or organization” outside the control of Texas military forces and the armed forces of the United States. We call on you to enforce Texas Government Code 437.208 against these private militias and disperse them.43 of 100 SignaturesCreated by James P. Thompson

Justice For RayannaThis Petition is for my six-year old niece Rayanna, who has told in specific detail how her father's side of the family has abused her time after time. She has sat down one on one with her mother Alexis, (my sister) and with tears in her eyes, she explained the physical and emotional pain that her father's family has put her through almost her whole life. Family court judge of Boone County, Linda Rae Bramlage, has been very un-fair to my sister throughout all their court sessions. Rayanna has been examined and talked to by a professional psychiatrist, and the judge has overlooked everything that has been discovered about Rayanna. Rayanna has always complained about certain parts of her body hurting, after returning from her father's home. Tonight I held Rayanna in my arms while she cried, and said she didn't want to leave, because she would never see me again. Saying how her daddy is going to take her away. She has told her mother Alexis time after time in her own words, "No matter what they say, they'll never make me hate you, mommy." And also, "If they take me away, can I come see you when I'm older?" Alexis has been fighting for custody of Rayanna her whole life. There is plenty of evidence of what Rayana has been through, however the Judge/Court system has still favored the father's family, over my sister. Now the father is trying to gain full custody of Rayanna, and Im not sure where else to turn. I have even created a Facebook page for this. Justice For Rayanna And Madison. Madson being her little sister. I hope that I can get some help with this, and rescue this little girl, from being abused for the rest of her life, at least until she is grown. I love my niece(s) so very much. I want her to be safe, and be with her mother who loves her very much.91 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kristen Osborne

Remove Cannabis From Schedule I of the Controlled Substances ActI have many medical conditions for which Cannabis has been proven effective. My husband has cancer and another relative has found Cannabis useful for TBI treatment. We are all productive citizens of good moral character and believe that we have the right to choose to use Cannabis instead of the much more harmful and addictive drugs presently prescribed. By not removing this plant from the top Controlled Substance list the Federal government is doing a great disservice to our society and causing people who do choose to use it illegally to be turned into criminals according to the current laws.68 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Frances Porgal
