"They raped her... They raped her quicker than Mike Tyson raped that one girl... she is so raped." That's what one local man said on camera about the now-infamous gang rape of a teenage girl by members of the Steubenville, Ohio high school football team last August. The girl was carried, unconscious, to different parties and raped at multiple locations throughout the night. And the dozens of teens who were there didn't try to stop them, get help or call the police--instead they took photos and posted jokes about the attack on Twitter. Police have been dragging their feet for months, but under Ohio law, failing to report a felony is a crime. And based on his 12-minute video, the man not only knew about the rape, but witnessed it. It's outrageous that local authorities are sweeping this under the rug--but it's not too late for the special prosecutors to charge him and others involved. Can you sign our petition that demands that DeWine prosecute anyone who knowingly failed to report the crime?

Our state needs affordable healthcare. I had to drop my insurance as it was too expensive, I don't have a job and cannot afford insurance. I am one of many in the same situation. People should not have to die because we cannot afford health insurance.

Governor Patrick has proposed a bold plan to make taxes more progressive and to raise money to pay for roads, bridges, mass transit and education. The legislature has taken his proposal under advisement and will probably pare it down. The gas tax has not been raised since 1991. It's time for drivers to pay their way.

My granddauther teaches 4th graders who are ill-equipped by prior education, lack of teaching supplies and assistance from the school itself. Every year they keep cutting back teachers/equipment and this should be stopped.

We the signed, want the trapping of our wildlife banned in our country; as it is in all other civilized nations. A trapped animal is a terrified animal in unimaginable agony, exposed to predators and the elements, dehydration, starvation, and extreme psychological distress in separation from their young--finally meeting a brutal end.
