We are a country of laws and targeting Americans or foreigners without producing evidence or charging them, without due process, without allowing them to surrender is contrary to our founding core principles as a nation. We must uphold the values that have guided this country from the beginning and provide for the filing of charges and the judicial system to work out justice according to the evidence. We have three branches of government for a reason, to provide necessary checks and balances.

The state of New Mexico, primarily Democratic, is currently under a Republican governor, Susana Martinez, who has a terrible record with five court cases brought against her office during her two years, all won against her.

We need to start a petition to show our support and solidarity between voters to vote for Gary King in 2014.

Broadens the scope and depth of the consumer protection agency to go way beyond just banks.

under the blanket phrase "National Security", the public has been kept in the dark of many things that do not threaten our national security. When that term is used all discussion on a topic is stiffiled. People in power should have to prove their position to an impartial body of Congressman and Senators. I read recently some federal judge is even not going to allow unclassified material to be released to the public.

My name is Bonita, I am petitioning for Change. There are over 2 million families in the US who are impacted by incarceration causing a financial burden on the family unit. If you, a family member, loved one, or a friend have been incarcerated this affects you. Many people with convictions have families and can't provide for them after their release because of various acceptable discriminatory policies and practices which allows debarment for housing, employment, education and participation in social activities in society which extends their sentences into a lifetime of punishment. We need your help to stop long standing unwarranted, unquestioned discrimination against people with convictions. These discriminatory practices increases the risk of people committing crimes for survival or forces them into a life of lower social, economic status by barring them from opportunities. Our petition is to ask President Obama to do something to STOP the extension of their sentences, through undeserved discrimination allowed against (FIP) Formerly Incarcerated Persons who have served their sentences. If you agree that (FIP) people with convictions, who are not sex offenders, child abusers or serial killers, should have their civil rights automatically restored, giving them the opportunities to pursue life, liberty and happiness support this petition. Stand with us to ask President Obama to make them whole and human again; by issuing an automatic restoration of their rights, giving them equal access to federal, state and local agencies services, housing, employment, lending, and equal treatments in civil courts. Sign our petition to ask Congress, our President and the Supreme Court to restore and protect the civil rights of Formerly Incarcerated Persons, by making them a constitutionally protected class of people.

We should be concerned because our tax dollars go to support Zionism in Israel, that is unjust, that breaks international laws and human rights in the area. I have been on a Mission Travel Study to Israel and Palestine in 2008 and I feel like I have I have heard a different story about what is going on between Palestine and Israel. We need to bring a petition that goes out to the American people and than give that petition to our new Secretary of Defense, Charles Hagel.

Public policy should be based upon evidence.

We need adequate and sustainable revenues in Delaware and these should come from fair taxes. Currently our state's personal income tax has a top marginal tax bracket of $60,000+. We should make our income tax more progressive by adding marginal tax brackets for incomes above $60,000 so that wealthy Delawareans pay a higher tax rate than middle-class Delawareans.
