New York State Voter Registration Form Misled Voters!It is the youth vote that is being disenfranchised in the New York State Primary Election because the New York State Voter Registration Form incorrectly states the deadline for voters to change their party affiliation. The young voters who don't have long-standing ties to a political party are the ones who will be turned away at the polls on April 19. There is no time to waste. Sign the petition now so they can vote in the Primary Election on April 19.627 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Diana Hird

Save Kentucky SchoolsGovernor Bevin just ordered immediate cuts to postsecondary education in Kentucky by 4.5 percent, and he wants to increase the cuts to 9 percent during the next budget. Budget negotiations between the Kentucky House and Senate have broken down over the issue of funding universities and state pension programs. Bevin's cuts would come at the expense of students. Let's tell the Governor and General Assembly that we can't afford to sell out Kentucky's future!311 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Sellus Wilder

Tell de Blasio to END the School to Prison Pipeline Now!WE HAVE 14 DAYS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, because, over the next 14 days, Mayor Bill de Blasio will be considering important reforms to school discipline and policies and policing practices in NYC Public Schools. The stories are incredible: * A Queens first grader with learning disabilities was handcuffed by police and suspended from school when he became upset while painting an Easter egg in class. *Alexa Gonzalez, a 12-year-old Queens girl, was suspended from school and hauled off in handcuffs for doodling her name on her desk in erasable marker. The facts are outrageous: *Black students are 4 times more likely to be suspended than their white peers. Black girls are 10 times more likely than white girls to receive discipline referrals. These racial disparities are a result of systemic implicit and explicit biases in policies and practices. * Students with disabilities are four times more likely to be suspended than students without disabilities. Black students with disabilities represent more than 50 percent of suspended students with disabilities. Black students also served longer suspensions on average and were more likely to be suspended for subjective misconduct like insubordination. New York City schools imposed nearly 70,000 suspensions in the 2011-2012 school year and a task force examined disciplinary practices in the New York City’s 1.1 million-student system during the 2011-2012 school year. It found that “the overwhelming majority of school-related suspensions, summonses and arrests are for minor misbehavior, behavior that occurs on a daily basis in most schools.” This excessive use of suspension for minor offenses pushes students out of school and directly on the path towards prison. Urge the Mayor to adopt changes that will dismantle the school to prison pipeline now!25 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Monifa, MomsRising.org

President Obama, what are you going to do about Arizona?The people of Arizona have spoken. Public hearings have fleshed out stories of voter suppression in the form of long lines that people stood in only to leave or never make it to the polling booth, a shut out of "Independent" voters who make up 1/3 of the voting population in Arizona, a willful refusal on the part of The State of Arizona, in spite of many bills introduced, to hold an open primary, stories of 1 polling place for 100,000 students, cost cutting measures on the part of The State of Arizona in the form of an almost 75% reduction of polling places in Maricopa county as compared to the 2012 election, and questionable calling of the winner of the Democratic Party Primary--reports that Hillary Clinton won the primary with 1% of the vote counted and 10's of 1000's of people still in line who hadn't voted yet. Worst of all, the provisional ballots were not counted, and worse yet, The State of Arizona has no intention of counting them. This is not democracy and this will not stand. We The People have spoken and we DEMAND a re-vote at cost to the State of Arizona, or in the alternative, that the delegates, including the super delegates from Arizona, DO NOT get to participate in the democratic convention in July 2016.98 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Claudia Cinelli

Tell the Tennessee Legislature to Stop Hate Bill 1840--State-Sanctioned Discrimination Cannot be ...Imagine you are in a moment of crisis. You decide you need support and seek out a mental health care professional. But instead of offering help, the professional care provider tells you that your lifestyle is a violation of his or her strongly held religious beliefs and that you should seek help elsewhere. Sadly, this nightmare scenario is exactly what could happen if Tennessee state representatives passed Hate Bill 1840. The bill, which passed the Tennessee state senate in February, seeks to allow counselors and other mental health care providers to deny services to individuals based on the personally-held religious beliefs of the care provider. Following in the footsteps of Georgia, North Carolina, Indiana and other states, bill sponsor Rep. Dan Howell (R-Georgetown) is advocating for this bill under the banner of “religious liberty.” In reality, though, Hate Bill 1840 places the religious views of individual counselors above the ethical obligations of counselors – as set out by the American Counseling Association, and above the needs of patients. If passed into law, Hate Bill 1840 would allow a therapist or counselor to deny service to individuals without being liable for a discrimination lawsuit. Don’t let Tennessee sanction discrimination and make it more difficult for people who are struggling to get the help that they need. Sign the petition to tell Speaker Harwell and the State Legislature to oppose Hate Bill 1840 and make sure Tennessee serves ALL those in need of mental health care!7,506 of 8,000 SignaturesCreated by Joon Kim

Stop F-15E Fighter Jet Sale to QatarThe Obama administration is weighing whether to sell dozens of advanced U.S. fighter jets to Qatar, a country that has been publicly rebuked by the U.S. Treasury Department for failing to take decisive action against Qataris who are providing funds to anti-American terrorist groups, including the al Qaeda-backed al-Nusra Front in Syria. Delaware Democratic Senator Chris Coons says the deal should not go forward until Qatar shows concrete evidence of a change in behavior. “The Qataris have shown a tolerance for extremism among the groups they have supported within Syria that has caused some real friction with our other regional allies and with the United States,” Sen. Coons said. [1] Urge President Obama and Congress to hold up the deal until Qatar makes concrete progress on cutting off money from Qatar for Al Qaeda in Syria.

Voting Machines Must Have a Physical Way to Recount VotesThe voting machines in my county, which were bought after the 2000 Presidential election, have no way to determine if the total votes recorded by the machine are accurate. The only way to "recount" votes is to download the totals from each voting machine again. Several candidates who suspected inaccuracies had no way to determine if the votes recorded by the machines were accurate.181 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Dennis Richard Brown
