Gov. Quinn: We Need Common Sense Gun Legislation NOW!The recent gun violence that killed 6-year old Aliyah Shell in Little Village and 7-year old Heaven Sutton on the Westside as well as the massacres in Aurora, CO and Oak Creek, WI demonstrate that we need to pass HB 5831 in Illinois. We believe that requiring handguns to be titled like cars and banning military style assault weapons from our communities are two reasonable solutions to save lives. We urge lawmakers to enact stronger common sense gun laws to protect our communities from this gun violence epidemic. HB 5831 would: • require all gun owners to register their handguns with the Illinois State Police, and renew that registration every 5 years. The records would be considered private, and would not be released publicly. • require all gun owners to present a Certificate of Registration issued by the Illinois State Police in order to transfer or possess handguns, and create a Class 2 Felony for falsifying the information. • require gun owners to report the theft or loss of a firearm to law enforcement within 72 hours of becoming aware of it, and creates a Class A Misdemeanor for the offense. • generate resources to help shore up thousands of records on dangerously mentally ill and other prohibited persons that are estimated missing from the flawed ISP FOID Card System and the FBI NICS. El reciente acto de violencia a mano armada que mató a Shell Aliyah de 6 años de edad en La Villita o Sutton Cielo de 7 años al oeste de la ciudad a las masacres en el cine de Aurora, Colorado, y contra la comunidad Sikh en Oak Creek, Wisconsin, demuestran que tenemos poner alto los asesinatos insensatos con armas de fuego. Creemos que requerir que armas de fuego sean registradas como los coches y que prohibir armas de asalto estilo militar en nuestras comunidades son dos soluciones razonables para salvar vidas. Instamos a los legisladores a promulgar leyes más duras con sentido común en contra el uso de armas para proteger a nuestras comunidades de esta epidemia conocida como la violencia armada.208 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Marcenia Richards

Repeal HB 87Georgia's HB 87, the anti-immigrant law passed in Georgia in 2011, seeks to falsely blame immigrants for problems they did not cause, damages our economy by preventing Georgia's agricultural and other industries from hiring the workers our economy needs, and promotes an environment of racial profiling in which Latinos, Asians, and other people of color are targeted and harassed because of their appearance.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Kennedy

We Need to Boycott Donald TrumpDonald Trump is a racist. It is time that we stood up to his bigotry and hostility toward President Obama. It is time that we stand up to this meglomaniac and let him know that fair minded and intelligent citizens have had enough of his stupid rants and silly tirades against the President.237 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Robert Young

Increase the size of the House of RepresentativesIncreasing the size of the house would allow the American people to have a stronger voice in the government. Originally when the house first started in 1789 it had 65 members, one for every 60,000 inhabitants today the average member represents about 700,000 Americans. The disparity in representation for the American people is far too great.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by James Mann

Vow to support a candidate to run against John Boehner in the 8th District of OhioI was looking forward to undoing the wave election of 2010, and I was looking forward to throwing my support behind the Democrat running against John Boehner. Only, I saw that he was running unopposed... Let's not let that happen again! Vow to support, with money or effort, a Democrat to run against Boehner and his do-nothing record.38 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Glenn R Hall

Stop Governor Kasich’s anti-women’s health appointment to the state medical board!We did it! Thanks to thousands of you who signed our OH Lawmakers, Stop Your Attacks on Women petition, Ohio’s attempt to defund Planned Parenthood and its restrictive “heartbeat” bill have been defeated! Tuesday, Ohio Senate President Tom Niehaus said that he would not move either the "heartbeat" abortion ban bill or the bill to defund Planned Parenthood in Ohio. Both bills are unlikely to move forward. Senator Niehaus even defended Planned Parenthood’s role as provider of critical women’s health care: “From my perspective, you have to look at the entirety of the work that is done by Planned Parenthood, and I believe that they offer much-needed services that are not offered other places.” Unfortunately, there’s more work to do. Governor John Kasich has recently appointed the President of Ohio Right to Life, Michael Gonidakis, to the State Medical Board. Kasich has shown once again that he believes the government should get between physicians and their patients. Positioning ideology on the same level as public health and safety must be avoided. The appointment of Mike Gonidakis sends a message that the function of the Medical Board is not to license and regulate the medical profession, but to foster one particular ideological perspective within the Board's activities, opinions, and rulings.12,575 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Heather Holdridge
