• Start Art
    The youth of New Mexico need to express themselves in a positive manner. When left with no outlet, children find negative outlets. So, by offering an artistic program, serious and minor issues alike can be prevented.

  • Repeal the Helms-Burton Act and lift the embargo against Cuba!
    The embargo against Cuba and the Helms-Burton Act hurt people in the US, Cuba and people around the world. These vicious policies restrict trade as well as the exchange of scientific, medical and cultural information. US companies cannot sell their products to Cuba and people in the US cannot buy Cuban products. Cuba has many innovative medicines for which people in the US have no access. For example, the Cubans have developed cancer fighting drugs, drugs which treat the effects of diabetes and drugs which reduce cholesterol. As a person recovering from cancer, my rights are being violated since I have no access to medicines which might help me. My rights are also violated since these policies make it difficult for me to travel to Cuba and benefit from scientific and cultural exchanges. It is past time to normalize relations with one of our closest neighbors. "Love thy neighbor as thyself." "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

  • Lights Out!
    There is an excessive and unnecessary waste of energy, materials for electrical systems, and money by leaving unoccupied buildings illuminated at night. "Lights Out" would lead to a major reduction in greenhouse gasses and massive savings in operating expenditures. Much like we are renovating older governmental facilities to be more energy efficient through advanced HVAC systems and insulation, this would have an immediate impact with no cost, just savings.

  • We the Unemployed Do Not Support Violence in any Form and We Would like to Offer Our Sincere Apol...
    This Petition was started, because we the unemployed need to ensure that Mrs. Boehner and the Public are aware that the actions of one do not reflect the beliefs of us all, and that we do not support Violence in any way. We are scared and we feel abandoned by our Government. We actively stand up for Our Liberties as “We the People” to have our inalienable Rights of “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”. In order for us to have these Rights, we must be able to obtain reliable and gainful employment. Unfortunately there are over 10 million people in this Country unemployed and less then 4 million jobs, which means that too many people are struggling on a daily basis just to feed themselves and care for their families, let alone have a roof over their heads. This situation creates a fear within people that is beyond devastating, and sadly, not all can endure this rationally. We will continue to do our best to seek each other out to offer support, resources and encouragement to remain strong and hopeful that this will all end, and someday every person in this Country will have a chance at reliable and gainful employment. We have created a website that lists information for public resources, support, job information, veteran information and much more. www.empoweringpeoplewithavoice.com We also have many support groups as well, that are designed to reach out to the unemployed and give them a place to come together and help each other. We have dedicated our lives to ensuring that everyone who wants a job will be able to obtain one in the future, as well as to the support of each other during this national crisis. We will continue to do our best to reach out to everyone that is unemployed, and ensure that they are encouraged not to commit any violent acts in any form, but please understand that although we do our best, we are unable to ensure that everyone complies. Thank you for your understanding in this matter, and I hope that we can show you that we are so very truly sorry about what has happened.

  • Yahoo: Stop profiting off ads that lie to pregnant women!
    CPCs are predatory groups that tell women getting an abortion will give them cancer or make them suicidal, and even pushing them not to use birth control — and by taking their money, Yahoo is putting profits above these women's lives.

  • Change before tragedy
    On march 26,2014 four black male children ages 11-14 were playing in a fort in trees separating two subdivisions. They were taking limbs off the trees and a neighbor called the police. When the police arrived they ran up on these children and yelled " you mother fuckers get on the ground now" one officer also had his gun drawn in the children's faces . When these children asked to be taken to their parents they were told no. Proper Policy and procedures were not followed. After filing a formal written report with the internal affairs office in Henry county Ga. This officer only received two days suspension and training. This is not acceptable.

  • Republican Party: Stop Messing With People's Voting Rights!
    How can we as the proponents and defenders of democracy around the world accept such crass, anti-democratic behavior by one of our two national political parties? On the sale that this is being perpetrated, it is clearly a conspiracy against our country's basic principles.

  • Informational Advertising
    I deeply care about biodiversity, along with many other Americans. The short-minded use of palm oil is contributing to the extinction of many species and habitats. The maps that show the historic range of the rainforest, compared to today, serve as a huge visual cry for help.

  • Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi: Boycott Benghazi Select Committee
    Four other bipartisan committees have already investigated the Benghazi attack. One of those lines of inquiry — the Government Oversight Committee’s investigation — remains ongoing. Republican political opportunists have established the select committee only because of their interest in raising money and exciting the GOP base . Appointing members to the committee would lend credibility to such a nonserious political "circus."
