One of the brightest and most active young leaders of the internet generation, Aaron Swartz, took his life last week. He did so at least in part due to over-zealous prosecution of a violation of a Terms of Service breach; a violation that had already been resolved between Swartz and the institution that was affected. This sort of violation should be treated as any other civil breach of contract, rather than as a criminal offense.

After all the school shootings that have taken place in our country all we do is look for a scape goat. When the real blame should be in ourselves as a nation. We have stepped away from God and the bible and taken away the very reason to act as a civilized peoples. Let's put the Ten Commandments back in our schools as well as singing the Pledge of Alegiance in the morning at every school. One nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all

Congress has granted itself immunity from many laws that ordinary citizen must comply with. Congress is not some form of royalty that exists above the rest of us

Male students especially minority male students are disciplined differently than female students.

I have not been personally affected by gun violence, but I am sick of seeking news articles about people critically injured and killed by guns. The NRA's explanation that better treatment of mental illness would prevent gun violence is absurd. I support a ban on assault weapons, limits to rounds of ammunition, and background checks on all gun purchases. Everyone should be concerned about this as everyone could be, or already has been, affected by gun violence.

Prevent election fraud by having the capability of having a recount if there is a dispute. Researchers have shown all on0lne voting machines can be hacked without leaving traces.

Assault weapons must be banned. My beloved country is riddled with powerful, unnecessary weapons. It is just a matter of time before a huge tragedy will occur.

We need more reasonable limitations on the excessive killing guns. If the NRA doesn't want to work with the government in creating those limits, then they should be given a dose of their own medicine with an extreme remedy of eliminating the constructional amendment that empowers it.

Greedy and criminal Wall Street bankers stole our homes, our savings, and our jobs while destroying our economy. Now that some Big Banks are agreeing to settlements to repay small portions of the destruction they caused, the IRS says they can deduct the cost of those settlements from their taxes. We pay twice and they get away with it! The Administration's top priority should be helping struggling homeowners stay in their homes and avoid foreclosure, not padding the bottom lines of Wall Street barons. Join the Home Defenders League in fighting back against this infuriating practice. (Apologies for the typo in the body of the petition. It should read "Too big to jail".)

My son Warren, attended the Indiana public school system and was denied hearing impaired services. These specific services are necessary for a individual child to benefit from special education. My son, is now a young adult that continues to suffer as a result of not receiving these services. I am still on the front line fighting for the rights of our special needs children. Special needs children, are being denied equal educational opportunities. African American boys and children of color that are diagnosed with learning disabilities are disproportionately impacted. The educational outcomes for minority children and the systemic inequities have been well documented in special education. We must put a end to disability and racial discrimination in Indiana's public school system. Parents that speak out against educator abuse against children with special needs are often retaliated against and punished. Parents let's unite, to stop educational abuse and corruption in Indiana's public school system. This problem is nationwide, together let's move to put a end to educational abuse regarding children with special needs in our United States school system. Congressman Carson, you are our Federal Representative, we are demanding that you support a federal investigation by the United States Department of Justice and the United States Department Of Education to expose Special Education Corruption in Indiana's Educational System. I have filed state and federal complaints regarding race and disability discimination and my complaints have fallen on deaf ears. State sanctioned child abuse is a crime!!!

SSA is a benefit you work and pay into. SSI is a benefit for people that have never paid into FICA, or perhaps didn't work long enough. Either, or, the benefits I got while on SSI were far more beneficial than what I'm now having to deal with getting full SSA. That's why I created a petition to The Florida State House, The Florida State Senate, and Governor Rick Scott. Will you sign this petition?
