Boycott Idaho!In my home state of Idaho you can: lose your home, job, and be denied emergency services because someone SUSPECTS that you hold a gender or sexual identity that they disagree with. It's time for codified bigotry to end. If Idaho won't do the right thing, maybe they will do the fiscally prudent thing.69 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dylan Cole

Ban Routine Infant Circumcision (RIC/MGM) In The U.S.A. NowThe foreskin is not a birth defect. Circumcision is a permanent amputation of normal, healthy, sensitive tissue that serves important physiological functions and without which normal sexual performance and sensation can be impaired. During the 19th century, circumcision was promoted as an effective remedy for a host of ailments including but not limited to rheumatism, epilepsy, asthma, skin cancer, insanity, and venereal disease. But it was as a remedy for "masturbatory insanity" which was believed to result from masturbation or "self-abuse" that circumcision was most widely promoted by its supporters during the 19th century. These are the historical and pseudo-scientific roots of routine infant male circumcision as it is practiced in the U.S. today. Yet this petition is not about banning circumcision. It is about banning forced circumcision. It is about ending the practice of denying men the right to choose for themselves whether to be circumcised. There is no right more basic nor more important than the right to control one's own body. Forced infant circumcision violates that right. It is a human-rights violation because it deprives infants, boys and men of the right to determine what is done to their bodies. The campaign to end involuntary circumcision, like its sister campaign to eradicate female genital mutilation, is based on the simple idea that each individual, regardless of sex, has an innate right to control his or her own body. Thus, the effort to ban routine infant male circumcision is part of a greater human-rights struggle in the broadest sense. It is a crucial part of the effort to create a world in which all people's rights - infants, girls, boys, women, men, and intersex individuals - are respected.10,658 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by DAVID BALASHINSKY

Say Yes to Holocaust Memorial in Teaneck's Brett ParkThe Teaneck Holocaust Memorial Committee has been working for 2 years to get a Holocaust Memorial created in Teaneck. We believe that it is important to create a Holocaust Memorial in the Township of Teaneck to memorialize those who perished in the Holocaust and establish a place for the community to use for reflection and education about the tragedy of genocide and the lessons of tolerance. We believe that time is of the essence as each year the amount of Holocaust survivors is dwindling and soon there will be none left to bear witness to the horrors of the Holocaust. After doing extensive searches in the town, we furthermore believe that Brett Park (River Road at the intersection of Winthrop Road) is the best choice to establish the Holocaust Memorial due to its accessibility to the community, available parking and visibility from River Road. Since the land in question is vacant, nothing will be displaced and this memorial will bring meaning and sanctity to the park and to the Township.198 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Steve Fox
