While I live in the safe Democratic state of California, the voter I.D. laws are designed to stop likely Democratic voters from the polls. It's downright wrong and is unconstitutional since a person born in the US is an automatic citizen.

The need for Mitt Romney to prove he is a natural born American citizen

The South Carolina Election Commission Executive Director Marci Andino recently informed a federal court about how the new Republican voting law will intentionally disenfranchise thousands of voters. There are people in authority within state government who would like to make it more difficult for many citizens to cast their vote in the coming election. Their voter ID regulations would unfairly target older citizens, citizens of lower income, and potentially target citizens of color.

On September 7th, 2012, Philip Roth addressed Wikipedia in response to statements made about the inspiration for his novel, 'The Human Stain'. http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/books/2012/09/an-open-letter-to-wikipedia.html by signing this petition, tell him "Ok"

Stopping ballot fraud, and mistakes by creating a secure website that can be accessed by individuals privately and conveniently in order that we can confirm that our votes were counted and recorded accurately. By using numbered ballots we can enter the number to confirm receipt and to check candidates are correctly entered. This will stop fraud and errors from affecting outcomes.

Churches have power over their members, and can be a significant force in an election. It is clear, for example, that some churches pressure their members to vote for a given candidate based on her/his alignment with their particular teaching. However, the involvement of any tax-exempt organization in the political process is strictly forbidden by the IRS: "...it may not participate in any campaign activity for or against political candidates."

Candy Crowly leans very much to the "right" and as such I feel that she will give Romney a "pass" at the debates since he usualy answers a question with a question..

Lincoln Park on South Franklin Street in Hempstead NY is always closed during the day. This parks should be accessible to everyone during warm weather days NO ACCEPTIONS.

Countless American children & grandchildren--both minors and adults--are robbed of our inheritances because our mom or dad remarried a stepmom or stepdad, who, as a SPOUSE, has unlimited rights to inherit, even to the TOTAL EXCLUSION of us, our siblings, and our children. Our family lost everything because our STEPMOM of 18 years, whom we loved and trusted, inherited all Dad's estate as his "spouse." We, Dad's kids and grandkids, got NOTHING. Then Stepmom evicted us from Dad's home and never saw us again. She had only married Dad for his money and property. This horror could not have happened if our rights had been protected by a law that limited Stepmom's inheritance rights. This petition calls for such limitation. LIMIT the inheritance rights of ANY step-spouse who marries a man or woman with blood or adopted children, grandchildren, siblings, etc. Your step-parent's inheritance claim on your parent's estate must be NO GREATER than your own. Such legislation will also put an end to questionable wills that unexpectedly disinherit us children or leave ALL to a step-parent (or to his/her children) while TOTALLY EXCLUDING your own blood or adopted family members. In return, the step-parent's own children are equally protected, as NO step-parent can inherit more than a parent's natural or adopted children. Predatory step-parents destroy families. The numbers are frightening. Don't be fooled by loving promises without laws to back them up: remember that WE were fooled for 18 years. There are far more Cinderellas in our country than there are Brady Bunches. The estate you save could be your own.

When Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the Archbishop of New York and President of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, delivered the benediction at the Democratic and Republican conventions, he told reporters that he was there only to pray, not to endorse a candidate. But back in his very own archdiocese, a Catholic parish is distributing an endorsement of Mitt Romney. In last Sunday's bulletin, a parish priest reprinted a letter from former Vatican ambassadors which concludes: "We urge our fellow Catholics, and indeed all people of good will, to join with us in this full-hearted effort to elect Governor Mitt Romney as the next President of the United States." Cardinal Dolan's constant incendiary attacks on President Obama's health care policies have created a situation in which a priest in his very own diocese thinks it's acceptable to use a Sunday bulletin for partisan politics. If he's serious about staying out of this election, Dolan must instruct his priests to refrain from distributing partisan campaign materials and issue a pastoral letter clarifying that the church is not endorsing Mitt Romney. Sign our petition to Cardinal Timothy Dolan.

To hold candidates accountable by using fact check during the debate to question the veracity of their statements. Make them explain directly to the public and not through their political operatives.
