Demand Publication of all Senators' Names that Voted Against Sensible Gun ControlYesterday we and watched in dismay as our Senate voted against sensible gun control measures that the vast majority of the people in this country want and reasonably expected to pass. If you feel fed up with the gun lobby as well as the stranglehold the NRA seems to have on the Republican Party, please sign this petition calling for publication of all Senators who voted against gun control as well as the amount of campaign contributions taken from the gun lobby.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Elizabeth Sink

Ban Gut and Replace and Frankenstein PracticesWe, the public, are affronted that some state legislators think that ambiguous bill titles and last-minute amendments are an appropriate way to evade basic, procedural safeguards established by our State Constitution. We are calling on the current Hawaii State Legislature to REJECT all bills which were substantively amended in a manner which evades the Constitutional public right to testify on proposed legislation. We are petitioning the legislative bodies to defeat the following bills that were subject to “gut and replace” procedures, and we are petitioning that the following “Frankenstein” bills, that had non-germane material added to them after the opportunity for review in a publicly-noticed hearing, be defeated or be amended to remove the non-germane material prior to a final vote. See filed petition, including bill numbers: http://bit.ly/FrankenSteinPetition We condemn these tactics and strongly oppose these misleading practices which keep the public in the dark.222 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Common Cause Hawaii

Stop NRA and other corporate lobbyists from buying our politiciansCorporate money in politics is one of the biggest threats to our democracy. The Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision threatens the basic nature of our democratic system, allowing corporations to spend unlimited sums of money to influence the outcomes of elections. Because candidates with the most money win more than 85 percent of the time, corporations and corporate lobbyists now wield incredible power over the election of our country’s leaders. Congress should serve ALL of the people of this nation, not primarily corporations. Congress must act to ensure we have a democracy of the people, by the people, and for the people—not corporations.181 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Kristina French

Imagration Reform, I especialy think that these children who were brought here when they were babies or todlers should be given a chance at citizenship and schools. I also think in the debate about imagration NAFTA has to be renegotiated. If American companies go to other countries they should pay the workers a fair wage, so they have more of a incentive to stay in thier own countries.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Francis Collins

President Obama: Mandate background checks for gun buyers.It is obvious that in spite of the will of 92% of the people, including 78% of gun owners, Congress will not find the courage to approve background checks for gun buyers soon enough. The President, however, has the power to issue executive orders, and should at least consider doing so on bahalf of the vast majority of We, the People.222 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Carmen n'ha Lydia

U.S. Senate: Tell us why you really voted down the Manchin AmendmentThe American people were told that the Manchin Amendment was a blatant violation of the Second Amendment without a specific explanation as to how. The American people were told that the Manchin Amendment would create a gun registry when it specifically received votes from Senators with great NRA ratings because it would prohibit creation of a gun registry. What were those who voted down the Manchin Amendment really thinking by voting no?382 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Michael Scriven

Just Care Family Network Needs A Mediator To Solve Conflict: Raphaelle Richardson And Norman RedwingMy Mentor Raphaelle Richardson And Norman Redwing use to work for Just Family Network. They are being treated with disrespect. Parents and Staff are lying and causing confusion with them. They have been nothing but good people and deserves respect.Our youth should be our top priority, but its not. This conflict needs to be settle the right way.I believe that "Lies are told to closed minded people to avoid conflict and retribution. A closed minded person can't handle the truth, doesn't want the truth and will punish the truth." Thats why we the YOUTH THAT CARE OF MEMPHIS want the truth. We want to be treated fairly and want our voices to be heard thats why we want them back.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jasmine Lott

Bribery Should NOT be Legalized in NC!!!Rep. Robert Brawley from NC wants to legalize Bribery. Seriously. He created HB640 which states "A public servant, legislator, or legislative employee may knowingly accept a gift from a lobbyist" Even worse, the bill enables them to not report this bribe! This is clearly legalized corruption and should be stopped!4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mark Hebbard
