• Texans Against Secession
    While we recognize that Texas is a great state, characterized by its independent citizens, there are many citizens that do not support secession from the United States. A petition has been filed with the White House for Texas secession that has reached the 25,000 signature goal it needed to be looked at by the White House. Although it is extremely doubtful that Texas would be granted the approval to secede by such a petition, we would still like to recognize that there are many people in Texas that feel differently, whether we agree with the current administration or not. Rick Perry as the President of the Republic of Texas does not sound good to many of us. Plus, we recognize that things like NASA and federal defense contracts contribute quite a bit to the economy we like to brag so much about. Please sign so other voices in this debate are heard.

  • Trump, Your Fired! Tell NBC to Cancel Celebrity Apprentice
    As a follow up to the "Dump the Trump" at Macy's petition, equally we should implore NBC Universal to not renew Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice show slated for March 2013 for the same reasons. Mr.Trump has proven to be a public embarrassment and help to spur incendiary and antagonistic rhetoric about our country's election process and also about the President of the United States. Although in the court of public opinion everyone has the right to free speech, and we as viewers have the right to choose what we shall or shall not watch on our televisions, there is some responsibility on the part of the company or corporation(in the case NBC Universal) to monitor and address issues that run counter to their network policies and affect viewers and shareholders adversely. Therefore, we should call on CEO & President Steve Burke of NBC Universal to cancel the upcoming season of Celebrity Apprentice and tell Donald Trump "Your Fired!" Here's the latest commentary in the media and blogosphere supporting the idea of this petition: -Scott D. Pierce, Television Critic for the Salt Lake City Tribune http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/entertainment2/55269990-223/trump-nbc-doesn-network.html.csp?page=1 -Alyssa Rosenberg, Culture Reporter for ThinkProgress.org; columnist for Slate; correspondent for TheAtlantic.com http://thinkprogress.org/alyssa/2012/11/13/1164271/nbc-donald-trump-the-apprentice/ Add you support of this petition! I need to reach a goal of 50 to move this forward! http://signon.org/sign/trump-your-fired-tell

  • Remove Florida's Sunpass toll system
    Florida Sunpass system is a very unfair toll system. The bill your tag and if you don't get the notice in time you receive a uniform traffic citation and your drivers license get suspended. Also the traffic citation is considered a moving violation. This is also very unfair because a lot of citizens lost their jobs as toll collectors.

  • Fire Joseph Pitruzzelli as LARABA's President. Hypocrisy Is Not Leadership!
    I was the artist that lived in the Los Angeles Arts District for 30 years and was unfortunately next door to Joseph Pitruzzelli's business, Wurstkuche Restaurant when they arrived in 2009. Joseph Pitruzzelli leased the AIR loft next to my studio and began to illegally use it as a commercial warehouse for his restaurant next door. I sued Joseph Pitruzzelli for that illegal commercial use of an Artist in Residence and I won. But Joseph Pitruzzelli refused to stop his commercial use of that legal Artist's loft. He turned it into a 24 hour nightmare for any artist actually trying to live and work there. Joseph Pitruzzelli would not stop his illegal use and had the case appealed because I sued him personally and didn't sue him as his republican corporation, Wilson, Pitruzzelli Investments, LLC. The city of Los Angeles cited Joseph Pitruzzelli's business for the illegal use of that AIR loft as well as Paul Solomon, the owner of my building. But rather then do the right thing and be the least bit considerate to his artist neighbors, Joseph Pitruzzelli refused to stop his illegal use, at which point I was forced to fight my landlord who was also cited by The City of Los Angeles for Joseph Pitruzzelli's illegal use of that legal AIR loft next to me as a 24 hour noisy commercial nightmare. That was my home and my studio for year before Joseph Pitruzzelli showed up and disrupted the arts district with no regard what so ever for the actual artist trying to live and work there. Having Joseph Pitruzzelli as LARABA's president is total hypocrisy. I ended up leaving the arts district because of this on going and growing nightmare Joseph Pitruzzelli and his partner Tyler Wilson brought to the Los Angeles Arts District. And his illegal commercial use of that loft in the heart of the LA Arts District continues to this day. Joseph Pitruzzelli's business has no permits to use that loft commercially. But he still does not care because he has chased the artist around him away. This man should not be the president of any artist association. LARABA must fire Joseph Pitruzzelli. Hypocrisy is not leadership.

  • PROP 37: Count ALL the Votes!
    Jon Rappoport, investigative journalist, states that OVER A MILLION votes on Prop 37 (the GMO labelling initiative) in CA have gone uncounted to date. Since the margin of "victory" is about 600,000 votes, this means Prop 37 could actually have passed. If we want to do something about this, NOW is the time. This petition seeks ACTION by the CA Secretary of State to count ALL the votes cast on Prop 37. If you cast a vote on Prop 37, make sure it gets counted by signing this petition, requiring the CA Secretary of State to do her job. *** A little background: On November 8, two days after the election, Jon Rappoport found that many votes in California remain uncounted. He decided to try and find out just how many, and contacted the Secretary of State of CA, responsible for elections in the state, who apparently doesn't know. He was informed that all counties in California have been asked, but not ordered, to report in those figures, but it is apparently voluntary. So Rappoport decided to pick the largest counties and called their voter registrar offices and these are the results he obtained: Santa Clara County: 180,000 votes remain uncounted. Orange County: 241,336 votes remain uncounted. San Diego County: 475,000 votes remain uncounted. LA County: 782,658 votes remain uncounted. In other words, in just those four counties, 1.6 million votes remain uncounted. It is still unknown how many other votes are uncounted in other Californian counties. *** About Rappoport: Nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, he has worked as an investigative reporter for 30 years, writing articles on politics, medicine, and health for CBS Healthwatch, LA Weekly, Spin Magazine, Stern, and other newspapers and magazines in the US and Europe. Rappoport has delivered lectures and seminars on global politics, health, logic and creative power to audiences around the world.

  • Nature Made corporation poisoning pregnant mothers
    My wife was thinking she was doing something good for her body and baby, started taking Nature Made's prenatal vitamins on a daily basis 3 months before she became pregnant. After our son was born she continued to take them while nursing him for a year. Preparing for our second child, she just recently discovered that Wholefoods and Mother's market didn't carry it and she was told to look at the ingredients. She didn't realize that it contained artificial and unsafe ingredients that have been linked to brain development birth defects, ADHD, and forms of cancer; including leukemia. The ingredients Red 40 (dye), Yellow 6 (dye), Blue 1 (dye) are unecessarily placed into this prenatal vitamin have been scientifically linked to ADHD. It also contains DHA from an unknown source. Which brings into question the amount of mercury, lead, pesticides and other potentially harmful contaminants typically found in unsourced fish oil. The fact that it's unsourced is a red flag since Nature Made has made two fish oil products that are under scrutiny (lawsuit) for containing the highest amounts of PCBs which cause birth defects, which makes little sense in a pre-natal vitamin. We're calling for Costco to stop selling Nature Made products and for Nature Made to be forced to stop putting poison in their pre-natal vitamins.

  • Boycott Celebrity Apprentice
    Donald Trump is a divisive public figure who has engaged in some of the most appalling behavior toward a sitting President ever. I feel that because he has been given air time to voice his beliefs, it is time for the people to voice ours.

  • Stop the Obstructionist Gridlock
    In the recent election, the American people reconfirmed our belief in a government that serves all of the American people, not just the wealthy, white, or male members of our society. It is time that the obstructionist "right" in Congress woke up (grew up?), smelled the coffee, and went to work with our President for the American people instead of bull-headedly beating on their own outdated ideology. I do not want to see even two more years of the gridlock that kept us from moving forward in the last two. Our President deserves better than that.

  • Cancel Celebrity Apprentice on NBC
    Donald Trump displays a lack of respect for the elected President of the United States. I do not think it is in good taste that a natiional TV network such as NBC to continue to support him as a brand. There are plenty of other celebrity brands or show platforms that can replace Mr. Trump and his show.
