Health CareI am writing because I would like Oklahoma to accept the expansion of Medicaid because I have friends who desparately need healthcare and don't qualify for the insurance even though they are low income enough they need it I myself qualify because I'm disabled but I have friend who has been sick for 3 months and is having a hard time getting healthcare to find out what is wrong and I'm trying to help him but him and his wife are scared to do the tests but don't have a choice to find out what is wrong and help him get well. I don't want my friend to die so I'm trying to help them get to doctors appointments and I just went to the pharmacy for him and they wouldn't fill his prescriptions and he needs them to get the testing done. Please help me and others like me who need healthcare and please let the Medicaid expansion go through thank you very much.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Charity Crosby

Liberty Commons approval to adopt dogs into the communityI have put an inquiry into Empire Management Company to obtain the right to adopt a small dog into my home @ Liberty Commons. As long as we are responsible and cleaning up after our animals, why shouldn't we be able to provide a loving home to a dog in need as well as gaining a best friend at the same time? After all, dogs are not called man's best friend for no reason!1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jerrica Porciello

"AARON DOTY LAW""LET`S STOP THE VIOLENCE BETWEEN KIDS/YOUNG ADULTS" A young man in Sebring,Fl , Aaron Doty, 20 years old, was beaten at a party by two men while others at the party watched. No one did anything but video taped the fight instead of calling 911, No 911 calls were made at or after the party. Aaron was later brought to the woods by the same two men in someone elses truck, whom is not being charged and they set him on fire while he was still alive . Aaron was left for dead while not a single person helped him. he was found dead on 6/9/2012. All those people who stood there and watched an innocent person slowly die, and did not help him or call 911 should be charged with accessory after the fact to his death. It needs to be a law that if you see someone helpless being abused or see someone whos life is in danger or anything of that nature to call 911 to save someones life. I speak for others when I say we want justice for Aaron Doty. This law needs to be in effect to protect the innocent and punish the guilty!!!3,446 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Roxanne M Judd

No overtime pay for state senate or state representativesThese people are paid to do a job. They should not pe paid extra if they cannot do the job in a timely matter. It is absurd that they get paid extra to argue as to how to spend our limited resources. I' m tired of spending my tax dollars for ineffective government.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Laura Holt

Demand investigation into prosecution of Aaron SwartzOn January 11, 2013, facing trumped up felony charges and potentially decades in prison, my beloved partner, Aaron Swartz, made the tragic choice to end his life. He was only 26. We need you to help us learn more about why this happened -- and help make sure it never happens to anybody ever again. Aaron faced 35 years behind bars for the nerdiest alleged crime in history – downloading too many academic journal articles. Aaron had authorized access to all of these articles through a nonprofit online library called JSTOR. Two years ago he was accused of downloading 4.8 million of these academic articles at once. He never distributed the articles or used them for anything, and he reached a private settlement with JSTOR (the supposed victim here) – who even publicly asked prosecutors to drop the criminal charges. But US Attorney Carmen Ortiz and prosecutor Steve Heymann decided that the best use of the US government’s resources were to throw the book at Aaron. I believe that they recklessly persecuted an innocent man because they thought it would advance their careers. I also believe that there may have been serious irregularities, possibly even violations of Aaron’s constitutional rights, in the way that they pursued the case and hounded him to his death. But I can’t prove any of that right now – and that’s where I need your help. Join me in calling on Congress to conduct a full nonpartisan investigation into the events leading up to Aaron’s death. The law treated Aaron like a dangerous criminal, but everyone else knew a different Aaron, the real Aaron; he was an innovator, entrepreneur and social justice advocate who co-authored RSS 1.0 (the web’s format for sharing and distributing content) at age 14, co-founded the social news website Reddit and led the fight to stop SOPA and PIPA -- the bills that attempted to censor the internet. He wanted to reform our criminal justice system and keep the internet free and open. The case hung over our entire relationship – we started dating just weeks before Aaron was indicted. I believe Aaron was innocent of any crime and would have been acquitted at trial, but the stress and the exhaustion and the uncertainty finally became too much for him to handle. Aaron will never have the chance to prove his case to a jury of his peers, and his family, his friends and I will never get him back. But we still have the chance to do some justice for Aaron with a full investigation. Congressmen Darrell Issa and Elijah Cummings have taken the initial step of writing a letter to the Department of Justice, and have already indicated that they're considering launching an investigation, but it's not a done deal yet. Please join us in encouraging them to proceed: We hope that a nonpartisan and thorough airing of the facts can help yield the policy shifts we need to make sure that agents of the law use their power to uphold justice -- rather than engage in destructive witch hunts like the one that befell Aaron. Sign the petition to Congress: Fully investigate the prosecution and death of Aaron Swartz and make sure prosecutors can never abuse their power this way again. We can never be made whole, but we also believe that we can find some peace in an investigation. We also hope that we can prevent this kind of abuse from happening to anyone else again. We know that’s what Aaron would have wanted in the wake of his death. Thank you, Taren Stinebrickner-Kauffman, partner of Aaron Swartz2,343 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Taren Stinebrickner-Kauffman
