Relative bill of rightsBecause my nephew is a baby and I am the Aunt, I lacked the key requirements that would preserve family ties. D.C.F "Rights"only extend to grandparents/ only those whom have a relationship with the child(ren) in custody. What about babies in care? I am without a solution. Without backing from a said bill ; these family members are deprived visitation rights, next of kinship, and knowledge to the child' well being.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ashley Menwer

Upgrade Our Nation's Electrical Grid System to Avert Possible Long Term OutagesI would like to initiate a petition to have the federal government design and implement a plan to upgrade our nation’s electrical grid system to be safeguarded from possible solar storms or electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attacks. In such a scenario large portions of the country's electrical grid could be knocked out for an extended period of time and unprotected electronic devices would be destroyed. A federal commission was put together in 2001 to assess the possible damage in the case of such an event and the overview of their 2004 executive report was titled “EMP is capable of causing catastrophe for the nation.” As the media are currently propagating such a threat through the news and other programming I suggest we begin safeguarding our nation from such a catastrophe as soon as possible.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kenneth Lizano

Gun ControlAfter Sandy Hook I believe that we must get better control of the guns in this country. I am not against gun ownership and in fact I own five guns myself. We must have accountability for products that can do so much damage in such a short time.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Conrad Ray Laughinghouse

SEE UPDATE BELOW: Tell Google To Support MMS Through Google VoiceUPDATE: Google Voice is slowly being integrated into Google Hangouts, now, which does appear to have MMS support. There's still a few kinks to get out of the way, but things are moving in the right direction, it seems. ----- I've been using Google Voice for years, now, and there's a few things I'm willing to forego for the convenience of it. The lack of MMS support, especially in the form of getting group texts from an iPhone, has been killer, though. The worst part about it is Google's silence in addressing this. Last time I can see that they even tried is in October of 2011. Tell Google to address this, now, or at least tell us if they won't address this.356 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Kyle de Beausset
