Fully Fund Maryland's Historically Black UniversitiesSince 1865, Maryland established four historically black universities. However, the state underfunded these universities and segregated them from advanced academic, research, and post-graduate degree programs that Maryland fully funded at white universities. Maryland’s black universities operate with substandard libraries, inadequate research and technology facilities, insufficient faculty pay, insufficient funding for scholarships, and inadequate post-graduate degree programs. Despite a lawsuit by students and graduates, Governor Martin O'Malley refuses to fully fund Maryland's historically black universities.137 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Thomas Ruffin, Jr., Legal Counsel of Maryland Coalition for Justice & Progressive Change

Terminate Lauderdale County High School Head Football Coach Bob Grisham for Sexist, Derogatory co...Grisham: Like those lunches - you get 600-calorie lunches - you know who's behind that? Different voice: Michelle Obama Grisham: Fat butt Michelle Obama Grisham: And look … look at her. She looks like she weighs 185 or 190. She's overweight. Different voice: Big fat gorilla (laughter) Grisham: I'm serious. Y'all, our country is, is, is going in the wrong direction." When a classroom instructor and especially a high school football coach uses his authority and power to denigrate the physique of one gender, he teaches the students that they are allowed to do the same and it will be met with laughter and approval. Not only is this wrong, it is discriminatory and against the law. Clearly, his classroom already understands that racist remarks are acceptable. We must put an end to gender discrimination, sexism and racism in Alabama classrooms, NOW.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cherokee Lair

Funding for Mental Wellness CentersAn increase in funds allocated to these institutions will help treat more peoples afflicted. With our nation becoming more aware of mental illnesses and how they affect the society as a whole, we need to insure our peoples of South Dakota have every opportunity available to them for treatments, and keep the avenues open that are already in place. We need to address this issue and do all in our power now rather than later. So we implore you to delegate as much money as possible to the Mental Wellness Centers in South Dakota. From the small towns to the largest cities in South Dakota, they can really use your help. When both of us experienced mental health illnesses beyond our control, wellness centers helped us to get better. Now we work to support those centers, and one of us co-facilitates a mental illness support group. With our nation becoming more aware of mental illnesses and how they affect society as a whole, we need to ensure people of South Dakota have every opportunity available to them for treatment and keep the avenues open that are already in place.195 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Loran Harris & Tim Flaskamp

Siskiyou County Law Enforcement InvestigationI was incarcerated in Siskiyou County when Sargent Stewart believed drug dealers. He did NO investigation, did NOT knock on the door and ask for any witnesses. It took 56 days for my legal counsel to prepare for a jury trial and present to the D.A. 'trial ready discovery'. Two and one half hours later, void of any court proceedings, I was kicked to the curb. That discovery vaporized $500,000.00 bond WITHOUT a hearing and no one even said "oops, sorry." This is ONE of THREE criminal dismissals by yours truly.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by paul miller
