I would like to start a petition for parents who are primary care givers to minor children. I feel that if the absent parent never pays child support, or is not in any contact with the minor child that the primary care giver should be given full custody over the child. In my situation my daughters father walked out when she was 2 years old, she is now almost 11, he walked out, never pays child support, has had a warrant for non-payment for 3 years now,.he also has not tried to contact either of us to even check on her. I wanted to change her last name to mine and the courts told me that I needed the father's permission. I was shocked. How can a person who has absolutely No hand in raising or taking care of the child be the person I need permission from? I was also told by that court that because the fathers name was on the birth certificate that he could come and pick her up right out of my front yard without my permission and that if I called the police there would be nothing they could do because he is her father. That is a scary thing for any parent to think about. The law needs to be changed, if you are a dead beat/absent parent then you should not have any so say regarding the child.

Simple: If drugs/paraphernalia products are illegal then why allow stores to move in and setup a crime institution right in the middle of our community ? If a person wants to buy or sell drug paraphernalia that's thier business but it makes it our problem. If selling drug paraphernalia is going to be deemed legal then we need to leagalize the drugs. Please sign this petition to ask the City of Aurora to ban selling of drug paraphernalia in our communities.

Men have no protection against Women that get pregnant and keep the children a secret! I hope we can get enough signatures to change this law to give Men more rights!

The California state attorney general said we have a $25 billion dollar settlement with the banks. President Obama put out the HAMP plan. Yet, most of us, including me, is getting our loans modified. The banks are doing whatever they want because they can. The government needs to make a moratorium on foreclosures now, take over the loan modification process completely, and get the relief to all of the homeowners, including you and me, that was promised, but for most of us, never delivered.

We have the right to know when our food has been genetically engineered.

Those who follow sports, particularly the NFL, are likely familiar with the New Orleans Saints "Bountygate" scandal. Roger Goodell's recent suspension of New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Peyton for one year for his failure to stop the bounty program that he did not participate in is not only excessive it is punative to the entire organization, players, and the fans.

Remove Rush Limbaugh from WHBU radio now.

This is a strong matter in our community. We NO longer feel safe and would like someone to step in and make it a better place for everyone. The motel 6 has had so many murders, suicides, prostitutes and we see drug deals happening in and out of that place, so much that our kids are questioning us about how safe it is for us. We want this motel closed down and would like a grocery store or some type of new venue to take place there.

This petition was started by P2P LOPW NPCO .. In an effort to get Chicago's Mayor and City Politicians to stand up against the escalated violence in Chicago thus far. The Mayor has dug near and far to scrap and savage every piece of money he could find but has yet to speak or put a plan in action to counteract this violence. Our children young and older African American- White- Hispanic All deserve a chance at life... This is past ridiculous.. We are prepared to March at City Hall if need be so that they can see we are tired of burying our chlidren and Family members. The more signatures the firmer our foundation. It takes a village.. Lets make a stand TODAY!!!!!!
