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.10,662 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

Senator Daines: Stop Denying Climate ChangeClimate change is impacting Montana, threatening our environment, economy, and the health of our communities. From longer fire seasons, to forests killed by pine beetles, to trout streams suffering from reduced flow caused by melting snow packs, the effects of climate change are already being felt by thousands of Montanans. Yet some of our elected leaders refuse to even acknowledge there is a problem. U.S. Senator Steve Daines is the highest-profile climate change denier in Montana politics, and it’s due to politicians like him that we haven’t seen more progress in the fight against climate change. Scientists warn that at least 80% of existing fossil fuel reserves must stay in the ground if we are to avoid the worst consequences of a warming global climate. But Steve Daines is actively pushing to expand coal and oil extraction, and to build new pieces of fossil fuel infrastructure like coal export terminals and the Keystone XL tar sands oil pipeline. Steve Daines publicly denies that human-caused climate change exists, and has refused to engage in a dialogue with constituents about how to address the issue. It’s time to hold Steve Daines accountable for his backward position on the scientific reality of climate change. Fortunately, ordinary Montanans are coming together to support climate solutions such as increased generation of solar and wind energy. This March, grassroots organizations will hold a nonviolent demonstration at Daines’ office to call out his climate change denial. Sign this petition urging Daines to take the threat of climate change seriously, and your signature will be delivered with hundreds of others on the day of the action.33 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Corey Bressler

Enforce The Do Not Call LawI file complaints daily as these illegal calls ring my phone. I've been on the Do Not Call list for many years yet it's being ignored. Telemarketers argue with me over not seeing my name. Some simply hang up and call again in an hour. If politicians expect anyone to take them seriously, they should back up the laws they pass.143 of 200 SignaturesCreated by james fay
