Illinois is the only state in the USA where law abiding citizens are denied the right to self defense. Illinois citizens deserve their rights restored.

Gas Companies like Scana,Shell and GasSouth compete with each other to get your business and thus offer you low gas prices. Electric Companies need to do the same and not charge by the territory it's time for a change.

Yes I have bad nerves and I rather have Marijuana than some drugs that a doctor prescribe . Those medication has all types of side effects. The only side.effect Marijuana has is it make you hungry. When you eat food takes away your high, unlike alcohol ,depending how much you drink, it takes hours and hours to sober a you up.

I would like to star a petition to go against the petition that wants to secede from the United States of America. There are people in Texas that do not wish to secede from this great nation of ours and we are just fed up with all this crazy talk of seceding.

Stop supporting corporate greed and help support a law that eliminates huge corporations from causing such chaos! The day after we are thankful America goes crazy on a shopping rampage to get the best deals without any concern for others... I have been driving to work one "Black Friday" and people are so lost in the “deals” that I almost got ran off the road near a Walmart… People have died because of this and WE MUST STOP IT!!! If special events are required to have permits, so should these stores. If a church on Sunday has traffic control, so should these stores. If a concert requires portable toilets, so should these places. If there are more than 100 people in front of a store, there should be security. HELP AMERICA REMEMBER THAT A HUMANS LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN A TV OR ANY PRODUCT OUT THERE!!!!

The election of 2012 in Ohio will be remembered for one thing: the arrogant and unbridled efforts of the Republican Party, led by Ohio Secretary of State John Husted, to suppress the voting -- and the constitutional rights -- of the proven majority of the Ohio Citizens. From the appalling gerrymandering of congressional districts to the reduction in early voting opportunities, from "accidentally" removing thousands of qualified voters from eligibility to the last minute rule changes for provisional ballots, Husted -- along with Governor John Kasich and the Republican dominated Statehouse -- has proven time and time again that he could care less about his sworn commitment to serve and protect the rights of ALL Ohioans; all under the guise of "combating fraud," a complete fabrication to justify his crimes. The very day after the election, did Husted realize that his unsuccessful and unconstitutional efforts to force Ohio to throw its electoral votes to the Republicans was misguided? No. He actually said that Ohio and Ohioans HAVE TOO MUCH INFLUENCE in electing the President. He now plans legislation, eagerly awaited by Governor Kaisch and the Tea Party Statehouse to change the way our electoral votes are allocated. Instead of listening to what the majority of Ohioans voted for, and allocating all our electoral votes to the winning candidate as we have done throughout history, he wants to divide them up between the candidates piece meal. As with gerrymandering, Husted and Kasich plan to advance the Republican national agenda with a strategy of divide in order to conquer. This petition may not effect Husted's ability to stay in office, but, with enough OHIO VOTER signatures, it can certainly put a public spotlight on how he, Governor Kasich and the Statehouse Republicans are actively taking steps to unconstitutionally gut the voting rights of the majority of Ohio Citizens. That alone may be enough scrutiny that the Ohio media will undertake a much-needed, public investigation of this travesty and stop these unAmerican efforts. Please sign and share this. BUT PLEASE, ONLY IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF THE STATE OF OHIO. The media is not doing its job, and Husted, Governor Kasich and the Republican Party have such a stranglehold on state government at the moment that their arrogant and sneaky efforts will never be stop unless THE PEOPLE TAKE ACTION!!!!! Please Sign NOW!

Sen John McCain is causing more embarrassment for himself, the state he represents and the country. His views cause more division and anger. He has NEVER voted in favor of a pro-Veterans bill. He is a relic. He needs to Resign as soon as possible and go home.

All Americans should be allowed to honor the sacrifices made to bring us our liberties at home with their families, and the opportunity to take part in shaping our future. This Petition is to turn Independence Day, Thanksgiving and Election Day into special National Holidays-- guaranteeing all Americans whose job isn't necessary for emergency or security purposes a day off to celebrate at home with their families.

From his brilliantly eloquent and rousing speech at the Democratic National Convention (arithmetic!), to his tireless and enthusiastic campaigning across the nation, Democrats everywhere owe President Bill Clinton a very big "Thank you!"

My son is 29 and his father still owes $67,000.00 in back child support. I've had a child support order in affect since 1987. Because his father lives in another state it has been very difficult to collect. This is a moral as well as legal obligation and the federal government and states have not worked hard enough to enforce the laws.

The Republican controlled legislature in Florida just passed a law making texting and driving legal. Studies show this is more dangerous than driving under the influence of alcohol. This needs to be reversed as soon as possible. I have had friends involved in accidents because of drivers texting behind the wheel.
