Tell MSNBC to fire Joe ScarboroughI am running this petition to remove Joe Scarborough from the MSNBC morning. The time on air he is given is disproportionate to the target audience for the network. It seems to me a much better fit for the morning show would be "NOW" host, Alex Wagner.2,490 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by L. Miller

"Not One More"*UPDATE: Three weeks ago, Santa Barbara. Last week, Seattle. This last weekend, Las Vegas. HOW MANY MORE? Take action now! In Santa Barbara, Richard Martinez lost his son and only child, Chris, when Elliot Rodger went on a deadly rampage, taking six young lives and then his own. “This death has left our family lost and broken,” said Martinez. “Why did Chris die? Chris died because of craven irresponsible politicians and the N.R.A. They talk about gun rights. What about Chris’s right to live? When will this insanity stop?” [1] Out of his unimaginable grief, this father found the strength to demand “immediate action” from our national leaders to curb gun violence by passing stricter gun-safety laws.[2] Martinez vowed, “I’m going to ask every person I can find to send a postcard to every politician they can think of with three words on it: Not one more… I’m asking people to stand up for something. Enough is enough.[3]” Our hearts break for Richard Martinez and all the families who lost their children to gun violence that day. Stand with Richard Martinez. Tell Congress: “I join Richard Martinez and demand immediate action to curb gun violence— NOT ONE MORE. Pass gun safety policies like comprehensive background checks on all gun purchases now.” We will send your message of support to Richard Martinez and to our national leaders in Washington, D.C.

The 2nd Amendment: End the NRA’s MisuseLast month 6 Santa Barbara students were killed, 3 with legally purchased handguns; 5 more were shot. Then? Shootings in Seattle, Las Vegas, and Portland. Congress needs to legislate reasonable and responsible controls on guns and ammunition -- common sense breaks on free and too-easy access to automatic and semiautomatic weapons. Lack of reasonable and responsible gun controls has no place in a free and safe society.681 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Ray Paloutzian

Money OutMoney in politics has destroyed our democracy. The corporations have a stranglehold on our legislators and the voice of the American People has been stifled. We have seen attempts to limit hard money and soft money. But it is always just a bandaid on a cancer. Every problem that this country suffers today is due to corruption and the outright bribery of the elected. When politicians have no financial gain to achieve by circumventing the public's wishes, they will get back to doing the work of the People who elected them.29 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Biff Thiele

Demand An End to Gun Violence in AmericaAs part of the Isla Vista and University of California, Santa Barbara community, we are heartbroken over the recent mass shootings claiming the lives of our students, and historically in the US. How many more have to die before our Representatives take responsibility and acknowledge popular support for the creation of sensible policies restricting gun ownership to curb deaths from gun violence? We demand action be taken to enact strict regulations on firearms to prevent yet another mass shooting tragedy. This might include multiple policies such as: enacting tougher background checks, longer waiting periods, outlawing automatic weapons, requiring psychiatric evaluation, incentivizing the return of firearms to law enforcement, etc.441 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Jami Nielsen

Share the cure!!!This petition is to give hope to Americans suffering from incurable diseases such as but not limited to; auto immune diseases, cancers, STD's, skin disorders, paralysis and nerve damage. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2010, it is an auto immune disease that affects the muscles and nerves and it has restricted my abilities tremendously. This disease has been in America for over fifty years with little insight of its origin or a cure and I want the government to share the cures of all medical diseases that are known to be safe to mankind or be punished. One nation under God is the American we must take part in freeing God's children!!!22 of 100 SignaturesCreated by LaTosha Kincaid-Coker
