Congress to work with the President to heal this nation.The middle class has bail out the banks and big business. We deserve a bail out. The country requires the middle class support for finances. The wealthy class should be willing to support this country by doing it fair share of the burden. They have reaped all the profits on the backs of others. Now is the time to stand for America and not greed.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Beverly Jackson

Stop allowing children under 14 years of age ride in the back of a truck.Recently, I was sent a picture via Facebook of a pickup loaded with various articles, a boy who appeared to be about 12 years old was riding back there with saw horses, etc. I found out later, there was a car seat in the bed of the truck also with a toddler in it. Several years ago there was a death in Stephen County when a toddler bounced out of a pickup as it crossed over a railroad track at too fast speed. The baby was killed. I cannot believe there is still no law in this county to prevent something so horrible.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Almeda DeHart

Tell Rick Warren to speak out against Uganda's anti-gay lawThe Ugandan government is just days away from adopting a draconian law criminalizing homosexuality. Gay and lesbian Ugandans could face life in prison or even the death penalty. Evangelical mega-church pastor Rick Warren has traveled to Uganda and preached against homosexuality and one of the Ugandan pastors who's led the fight for this horrific bill has spoken at Warren's conferences in the United States. So the last time the "Anti-Homosexuality Bill" was introduced in Uganda, human-rights activists successfully pressured Rick Warren into taking a public stand against the law. Faced with mounting international criticism, the Uganda government backed down -- until now. But this time around, Rick Warren is remaining conspicuously silent about the situation in Uganda, despite giving a number of high-profile interviews on other subjects. At a time when his voice could help save the lives of LGBT Ugandans, he's on CNN comparing being gay to giving in to a temptation to "punch a guy in the nose."199 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Michael Sherrard, Faithful America

President Obama: Leave religion out of the swearing-inDear President Obama, I request that, during the swearing-in ceremony for your second term, you consider laying your hand upon a copy of the Constitution instead of upon the Bible and that you eliminate all trappings of religious faith from the ceremony. The reasons for this request are as follows: -Having the Chief Executive sworn in with a Bible is an obvious violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment as it clearly represents a preferential acknowledgement of one religious belief (Judeo-Christianity) over all others. -The Constitution represents the set of rules that applies to all Americans regardless of race, sex or creed, whereas religious texts only apply to the adherents of their particular faith. -The Constitution is the document that you swear to defend in your oath of office. -The Bible contains passages that are supportive of mysogyny, homophobia and genocide. It also offers advice on how to properly treat slaves without once stating that owning other human beings is morally wrong. -None of the governments described in the Bible are democratic. -The words "so help me God" are not a part of the official oath as stated in the Constitution and when said by a member of the government being sworn into office represent another violation of the Establishment Clause. Obviously the choice to remove all forms of faith from a presidential inaugural will be controversial and cause outrage among your political foes as well as many of your supporters. But in the interest of obtaining true religious liberty in our country, this outrage will be well worth facing and the ensuing debate healthy and well worth having.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Emily Bukowski-Thall

Promote an Amendment to the U. S. Constitution to guarantee unbiased tax-payer funded Elections f...Go to link: http://wh.gov/IYtl to sign petition at WhiteHouse.gov. Promote an Amendment to the U. S. Constitution to guarantee unbiased tax-payer funded Elections for all of our Citizens. Promote an Amendment to the Constitution to rectify, guarantee and create a Unbiased Tax-payer funded (a minimun fee) Federal Elections and Polling Commission (similar to the Federal Reserve). All other moneys would be illegal with a minimum fine of 100 times the amount of the contribution/gift (including to Incubents and Challengers). All Elections and Polling (Federal, State and Local) would a month long and would be done on-line based on a combined data-base of the States, IRS, Social Security, Medicare ,Medicade and Re-election Committees. There would be a Federal Holiday on the final day once a year. The State/Local Election Commissions would be become part of the new Federal Commission. Influence of Lobbists would be marginal-ized and Citizens-United made mute. A real Legacy!!2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael Willis
