North Carolina residents are concerned about proposed so-called "voter I.D." legislation that requires voters to show varying forms of I.D. when they show up to vote. The simple fact that up to hundreds of thousands of voters may become ineligible to vote and that there have been virtually no cases of voter fraud makes it imperative that we protest such a law.

The official chaplains of the U.S. House and Senate are supposed to be nonpartisan pastors who offer spiritual support and guidance to our nation's elected leaders. But on Inauguration Day, they're scheduled to speak at a right-wing event in Washington alongside some of the most hateful and racist figures on the Christian right. Pat Robertson describes President Obama as a "socialist" with a Muslim "inclination." Joseph Farah runs WorldNetDaily, a conspiracy-theory website that continues to claim was born in Kenya. Jonathan Cahn is a fringe "messianic rabbi" who sees signs of the apocalypse in Obama's speeches and writings. We've only got a few days to stop House chaplain Patrick J. Conroy and Senate chaplain Barry Black from lending the prestige of their offices to this hateful exploitation of Christian faith.

Texas State Rep. Yvonne Davis has filed HB 535, the "Buy American" bill. This bill would require state agencies to give preference to purchasing goods made in Texas or the U.S. when the option is available. If products are not made in Texas at a comparable cost to other goods, the next preference would be to goods made anywhere in the United States. Millions will benefit by the Texas government investing in American jobs and America workers. Disabled veterans and farmers will be some of the first to benefit from such a law.

It's an existential test of SignOn's existence.

Over the next few days, the fate of filibuster reform hangs in the balance. Let’s tell the leaders of the U.S. Senate that real reform includes a full talking filibuster. Other proposals out there don’t go far enough, and won’t change the culture of obstruction that paralyzes the Senate. Your grassroots support today is critical. Sign the petition: Tell the Senate to fix the filibuster. ~ Senator Jeff Merkley

I got annoyed by the hypocrisy and outrage of registering guns compared to registering men 18-25 for Selective Service. The law is antiquated and needs to be abolished or suspended.

Let's put an end to Congress making laws to suit their own agenda instead of what is for the best and highest good for all concerned. I am a widow raising a child. My survivor benefits ended when she turned 16 instead of 18 (what is used to be a few years ago). Her survivor benefits will end when she is 18 instead of through college (also what it used to be a few years ago). My situation is minor compared to what others have lost due to the benefits Congress has seen fit to unduly grant themselves.

WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO: "Try very hard" to enact the Gun Violence Reduction Executive Actions into law. I sign this to reflect my 100% support.
