This petition will be delivered on June 14, the six-month anniversary of the Newtown shootings, to the District Offices of Alan Lowenthal (Long Beach), Janice Hahn (San Pedro), Linda Sanchez (Cerritos) and Loretta Sanchez.

I interact with children & adults daily that think the images, messages and morals portrayed in urban music are viable life choices.

During the month of June, the Senate will consider and vote on S 744, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act." The bill is a bipartisan effort to provide long-awaited and desperately needed immigration reform. When S 744 was marked up in the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) did everything he could to derail the bill. He introduced 49 mean-spirited amendments that were mostly rejected even by members of his own party. Senator Sessions will likely continue his attempts to obstruct passage of this important and historical legislation. Sessions has a long history of opposing civil rights and making racially offensive remarks. He once called the NAACP 'un-American," made jokes about the Ku Klux Klan, and prosecuted three civil rights workers for voter fraud. He has been an ardent supporter of Alabama's HB 56, the nation's most intrusive and hateful anti-immigrant law. We are sending Senator Sessions an unequivocal message: "Stop ripping apart immigrant families by standing in the way of immigration reform!" Will you join us by signing this petition? Texto de la petición en español: Senador Sessions: Deje de impedir la S 744, El Acta de Seguridad Fronteriza, Oportunidad Económica y Modernización Migratoria ahora que está siendo considerada por el Senado completo. Hemos esperado por mucho tiempo para reformar nuestro sistema dracónico de inmigración y sus colegas en el Senado continuan trabajando arduamente para asegurar que esto suceda. Usted dice que está preocupado sobre el impacto que podría tener la S 744 en los empleos y en la economía, a pesar de que apoyó fuertemente la HB 56 de Alabama, la ley anti-inmigrante más intrusa y odiosa del país, y una ley que le está costando a su estado billones de dólares en producción económica y decenas de miles de trabajos. Alega que la familia es sagrada para usted, pero apoya políticas que están separando a miles de familias inmigrantes. Las familias inmigrantes son vitales para el Sur y este país y ayudan a fortalecer a sus comunidades economicamente, socialmente, y espiritualmente. Necesitamos una reforma migratoria integral que incluye un camino a la ciudadanía ahora. Le pedimos que permita que El Acta de Seguridad Fronteriza, Oportunidad Económica y Modernización Migratoria avance en el Senado y esperamos que decida estar en el lado correcto de la historia votando ‘sí.’"

This is about those people who are in companies like Apple who do not pay their fair share of the USA Taxes!

Congress has made an effort to streamline spending, but they've really overlooked the fact that as so many Americans are making sacrifices, they "do nothing" and get paid like normal. Yes, they are elected representative of the people, but having their salaries off the table makes they too forgetful of their constituency.

There are too many negative things to say about how too many people will be negatively, even dangerously, affected if fracking is allowed to happen in North Carolina. Please help stop the current bill or any other fracking bill from passing.

The Supreme Court decision affects the very foundations of our democracy. Corporations ARE NOT people, their moral values are only based on profit, and their money influences the political environment way beyond what the average citizen is capable of doing.

Fairness and good citizenship

We can't be the only ones affected by the volume of TV commercials And inappropriate commercials in early evenings when kids are around.

Rape is not and has never been an act of "sex." It is an act of hatred toward the victim and should be treated as such according to the laws of the state of Minnesota. Victims and the families of victims of rape deserve the same justice and protection under the law that any victims of hate-crimes do in the state of Minnesota. Rape is a HATE CRIME.

I am a heart patient that has had my pacemaker affected by court house metal detector wands. The security screeners are ignoring the pacemaker companies warnings about the adverse effects the wands can and do cause on the pacemakers. Please help me to bring this to an end and help stop unnecessary suffering.
