Music, Internet, and Radio Warning SystemYouth and children can be exposed for hours daily to sexually explicit, violent, and occult lyrics and no warning or prohibition is provided. All communities are affected, but particularly African American communities, where 70% of births are out-of-wedlock, male dropout rates are about 50%, and homicides are 50% of all homicides in the nation. This is a national epidemic that will impact everyone, and this is one-step to address this issue.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Timothy Davidson

Call For A Special Session To Pass Equal Marriage In Hawai'iThe Governor has stated that he MIGHT call a Special Session of the Hawaii State Legislature to pass marriage equality into law. Let Governor Abercrombie and the Legislature know that justice delayed is never justice. We need a Special Session called, and we need it called NOW! We've been waiting 20 years since Justice Steven Levinson decided in Baehr v. Lewin that it was unconstitutional for same-sex couples to be denied marriage in Hawai'i. The resulting court case showed then--and it remains true today--that the State of Hawaii has NO compelling interest to deny ANY couple equal marriage. In the 1998 debacle, a minority of Hawai'i's voters decided in a "referendum" of sorts to take away the rights of GLBT couples and assigned marriage to the sole and dedicated purview of the Legislature. Senators and Representatives alone were empowered to decide who can marry whom and when. The public has HAD it's say. It is way overdue for the Governor Abercrombie and the Hawaii Senate and House to call immediately for a Special Session of the Legislature to pass marriage equality for all of Hawai'i's citizens into law. Please help us ask our lawmakers and the Governor to make marriage equlity a reality in Hawai'i TODAY!14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Shaun Campbell

Mr. President: Please Stop Using Tax Payer Money to Support RushThe United States Government is spending our tax dollars to support Rush Limbaugh. Rush Limbaugh’s Show continues while he collects welfare. Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move program is heard on the Rush Limbaugh Show. United States Departments airing Public Service Announcements (PSAs) include Department of Energy, United States Forest Service (as in Smokey Bear), Housing and Urban Development. The Ad Council distributes many of these PSAs claiming, “The airing of Ad Council PSAs on media programs does not imply support of that program or its spokesperson’s ideologies.” As taxpayers, We The People do not want our name used to fill Rush Limbaugh's dead air.30,228 of 35,000 SignaturesCreated by Carol Wallin

KEEP FUEGO BY SOSA'S CIGARS OPEN IN DOWNTOWN DISNEY!Downtown Disney is changing and they will be closing Fuego by Sosa's Cigars at the end of September. Here the older generation as well as the younger, (but over 21) generation get to experience the nostalgia of days gone by, where people from all over the world come to unwind and enjoy a drink and a Cigar in a friendly, welcoming, fun atmosphere! The Sosa family has been in the cigar-making business for more than 70 years! Fuego by Sosa's Cigars most definitely fits into Disney's new format perfectly, so to not have them be part of all of the new changes would be a huge mistake! Please show your support, Don't let Disney close their doors by not renewing Fuego's lease! Please sign this petition and let Disney know that you want Fuego to remain open and be part of the new "Disney Springs" right where they belong!354 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Faith Ramos

Wildland Firefighter Protection Act (H.R. 2858)I have been a federal seasonal wildland firefighter since 2007. I have fought fires in 8 states and worked on hand crews, engine crews and helicopter crews. For decades wildland firefighters have quietly endured some of the most adversely dangerous and difficult working conditions. We love our jobs, but all we ask is to be properly recognized, to be treated fairly, and to be compensated and looked after in a manner that is consistent with other firefighters around the nation. It doesn't seem right to me that people that prepare espresso have comparable wages and better benefits than those who regularly risk their lives for life and property.4,572 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Lindon Pronto

Petition for Entrance on 7th Street for proposed Hospital Linen development, and to remove 6th st...Traffic on 6th Street is a problem, and many people have worked over the years to decrease traffic on this residential street. The traffic causes noise, air pollution, and unsafe conditions for children, adults, and pets, on a residential street. The current plans for a development at the Hospital Linen site and the Metropolitan State parking structure in Dayton's Bluff, Saint Paul and Beacon Bluff do not contain a way to direct traffic to 7th Street, a commercial street, and will increase traffic on residential 6th Street and adjacent side streets. To date, the lack of a plan to direct traffic towards 7th Street encourages drivers to use 6th Street as a highway ramp to Interstate 94, which has resulted in the loss of life and property. This is completely unacceptable in a residential neighborhood, and will no longer be tolerated by residents of 6th Street, or Dayton's Bluff, and a closure of 6th Street between Mounds and Maria is demanded. The more support the more likely officials will listen. We're hoping to reach 150 signatures to show we are serious. Thank you!95 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Elliott Nickell

A law that bans acts of kindnessBy the time I was seven, I had already been placed in 17 different foster homes. I was out of options until a loving gay couple, Greg and Stillman, gave me the family that I had dreamed of. Greg and Stillman took me in as a foster kid and then adopted me when I was eight. If it hadn’t been for my two dads, I might have continued to bounce from home to home for years—without their love and support, I doubt I could have made it to college. But in Nebraska, where we live now, gay and lesbian people are prevented from providing loving homes to kids who need them. Nebraska is one of only three states that still have this type of unfair ban. Today, my dads are helping the ACLU fight this ban in court—but we need to use every means possible to challenge this unfair policy, including public pressure. Tell Governor Heineman to do what’s right for the children of Nebraska.1,005 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Arthur Stewart
