As a resident of Texas and a proud gay american, I am outraged and demand real action be taken.

I hope this petition convinces the Governor of the significant support for my pardon and highlights my civic contributions. My art should represent Tennessee nationally and internationally. At present I cannot accept shows outside the US. I have also lost prestigious personal and professional national opportunities due to the felonies’ stigma. https://www.facebook.com/Please-Pardon-Artist-James-Andrew-Hearn-661515917345058/

When is enough enough? NOW. Stop mass killings!

In the hours after the largest mass shooting in American history(Florida Gay Nightclub Shooting/Massacre), Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick tweeted this: "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows." Choosing silence in the face of injustice/tragedy is one thing, but to virtually condone violence(a hate crime at that), is unconscionable and outright disgusting; and is behavior that should not and will not be tolerated by any person, let alone a political office holder.

People who have bipolar disorder, PTSD, or seizures like I do need to have marijuana legalized.

The American Public Deserve the Truth

I am an alumnus of the University of Illinois. I support Bernie Sanders' call for tuition-free public college. When I was a freshman at the University of Illinois in the Fall of 1982, a semester's tuition was $598. Compared to today, that's virtually free. What Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner and the Illinois legislature are doing is going in the exact opposite direction. By failing to pass a budget that assures state support for public higher education, they are threatening the future of the University of Illinois. [1] Urge Bruce Rauner and the state legislature to pass a budget that funds public higher education without further delay by signing our petition.

Jordan, the incumbent since 2007 has never passed a single piece of legislation. He is a well funded, Koch financed, pro Citizens United Congressman. Democracy itself is at stake when an incumbent can be virtually guaranteed perpetual reelection, regardless of no legislative success, due to ties to big business, Wall Street and lobbyists and the ability therefore to raise unlimited donations.

My mother has been a missing person from 1993 forward and she is still not found....there was no technology TO HELP THEN......there is now, lets utilize it, and help all the missing persons...we NEED AN ALERT SYSTEM FOR ADULTS ALSO.

On June 8, 2016, Mayor John Woods traveled to Raleigh, N.C., and scheduled a secret meeting with NC State Senators Berger, Tarte and Curtis, and several others. This meeting was to advocate for the 1-77 Toll Lane Project and was in direct opposition of HB-954. Mr. Wood's action was illegally going against resolutions passed on behalf of 90% of the Citizens Against the Toll Lanes Project, and the Town Comissioners. Mr. Woods, knowingly and deliberately, stated false information about the support of The project to Senator Berger and went against thousands of his constituents whom he was aware have researched , signed petitions, sent countless emails to town, county, state legislative, and executive council, who have donated monies for legal representation in lawsuits, and who have invested their personal time to actively work to oppose the project and have tirelessly fought to have the project cancelled. These citizens are requesting for Mayor John Woods to submit a written letter Of resignation, effective immediately, or a recall will be submitted to the NCGA on behalf of these constituents

At a major religious-right conference, Republican Senator David Perdue implied that Christians should pray for President Obama to die. "We need to be very specific about how we pray" for President Obama, Perdue said. "We should pray like Psalms 109:8 says: 'Let his days be few, and let another have his office.'" The very next verse of Psalm 109 is: "Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow." For years, this passage of scripture has circulated among religious-right extremists who advocate "imprecatory prayer" - asking God to kill President Obama. Senator Perdue's staff is now backpedaling, claiming that isn't what he meant, but so far he's refusing to apologize for his hateful misuse of the Bible.

For many years RIPTA has provided free travel to those disabled people and seniors who are already living on a limited income. Rhode Island's most vulnerable seniors and disabled can't afford to pay what RIPTA is now charging, and many have said they'll be stuck at home unable to go out much. Bills have been introduced in the RI General Assembly to undo this fare hike -- H5173, S31 and S115. These bills need to be passed.
