The recent gun violence that killed six year old Aliyah Shell in Little Village and 7 year old Heaven Sutton on the Westside as well as the massacres in the Aurora, Colorado movie theater and against the Sikh Community in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, and the tragedy at Sandy Hook elementary demonstrates that we must stop the senseless killings by fire arms, and have better control over the firearms that enter our communities.

Impeach William O'Neal, revoke his pension and start court proceeding to try him for treason. He has e-mailed death threats concerning the President of the United States of America.

I recently moved to New York City after living in Washington, DC for the better part of two decades. I have never thought it was fair that DC residents are denied the right of full voting representation in Congress. Now that I live in New York City and have the privilege of voting representation in Congress, I consider it my duty to lobby my elected representatives to extend my rights to my brothers and sisters in DC.

Walter Jones wants to amend the Fair Debt Collections Practices act to favor the Banks, the bill sought to change the definition of Lawyers and their firms so that lawyers not called debt collectors. This proposed change does not help homeowners because in addition debt collectors as it is are lawyers who sometimes buy debt and then turn to collect it. This bill is a sham and the Representative may be working for the Banks on this one. see link for details http://mariokenny.me/2013/01/17/bill-to-amend-fdcpa-for-attorneys-introduced-in-u-s-house/

District manipulating for political advantage has been around a long time. but it should not be in the future. I for one am tired of the steady march to right wing extremism.

This petition is about having Rush Limbaugh either suspended or forced to apologize for mocking children killed by guns in Connecticut. As a resident of Connecticut, and someone who lost a school friend to this tragedy, this is not nor will it ever be acceptable to make fun of a tragedy such as this one.

The Government is concerned about the economy and the middle class yet they give themselves raises all the time. Stop It Now!!!

Now is the time to tell Governor Brownback that anti-immigrant laws are wrong for Kansas! We need immigration policies that reflect our state’s values of fairness, justice and equality. Passing anti-immigrant laws will hurt the Kansas economy. If all unauthorized immigrants were removed from Kansas, the state would lose $1.8 billion in economic activity, $807.2 million in gross state product, and approximately 11,879 jobs. Implementing harsh laws would cost Kansas billions! Anti-immigrant bills will tear families apart. Family unity is one of the strongest Kansas values. Our current system is separating and damaging 1,000 families daily. We call on Governor Brownback to support and work for a path to citizenship that allows families to stay together. Kansas no longer wants to be labeled as the state that promotes a senseless “self-deportation” approach to this issue. The belief that making daily life miserable for undocumented immigrants is unethical and violates basic human rights! We ask Governor Brownback not to support inhumane immigration laws.

This story is very REAL. It is based on FACTS. The story is about how YOUR tax dollars are being used to victimize and harass a single struggling parent. This petition was started because repeated requests to HUD to relocate the family have been ignored coupled with the landlord's refusal to stop victimizing the family.

This impacts every American who have paid taxes who's money has gone overseas to make war with nations who have large oil reserves.

Our Governor, Paul LePage, has said he will not expand Medicaid as per the Affordable Care Act. We urge him to reverse this decision and accept the expansion which will help Maine's poor and vulnerable.

The goal is to petition appropriate executives at PBS NewsHour and CNN to provide a frequent, powerful and dignified reminder of the large numbers of children and teens killed by firearms each week. The procedure is to follow closely that which the PBS NewsHour uses to honor military personnel killed in Afghanistan. Whereas I have not lost a relative, all Americans are endangered by the ready availability of firearms in the USA.
