Georgia: Add Outkast to Stone Mountain!I believe it's important to recognize the history and heritage of all Georgians. However, the carving of Davis, Lee, and Jackson on the side of Stone Mountain only represents a small, regrettable time in the history of the Peach State. It's high time we added a bit more of our history and culture to this monument. By no means do we wish to erase or destroy the current carving, which, regardless of its context, is an impressive and historic work of art. We simply wish to add new carvings, of Atlanta hip-hop duo Outkast, to the mountainside. There's plenty of room. I believe that Daddy Fat Sacks and Three Stacks should be carved riding in a Cadillac (as is their wont). This will help the new carving blend nicely with the Confederates who are on horseback. Outkast are two of the greatest Georgians in the history of our state. It's about time the Empire State of the South paid proper tribute to them, while also improving a great monument and tourist attraction.17,021 of 20,000 SignaturesCreated by Mack Williams

Congressional Medal (WWII) for an African AmericanThis is an appeal to redress an injustice in the US armed forces in which discrimination against Black people was rampant. Sgt. Waverly Woodson, Jr. should be added to the short list of African Americans whose valor needs to be recognized by this nation.

Help Stop the Release of a Convicted Killer, Child Rapist, Kidnapper, and Abuser of a Corpse.My younger sister was shot in the head while she slept, and DISMEMBERED by her husband. He pled guilty and spent less than 25 years in prison. Within 5 months of his release, he kidnapped and raped 2 minors, sodomizing at least 1, and committed almost 20 other "new" crimes. I want to hold Oregon legislatures accountable for the laws they made during a 4 year period that let this killer out, and the parole and probation departments that allowed him the freedom to commit more crimes. This monster MUST remain behind bars! Here is a link to his inmate information, you will need to type in his name.

Overturn the Wrongful Conviction of Jon-Adrian VelazquezThis is an application for the immediate release of Jon-Adrian Velazquez, a man who is innocent and has been unlawfully imprisoned since February 2, 1998. Jon-Adrian Velazquez IS AN INNOCENT MAN. Here are seven reasons why Mr. Velazquez’s conviction must be vacated: 1. Mr. Velazquez and his alibi witness have both taken lie detector tests and have passed them with flying colors. 2. Eyewitnesses have recanted their identifications and changed their trial testimony. 3. There is no physical or DNA evidence against Mr. Velazquez. 4. There is absolutely no connection between Mr. Velazquez and the admitted co-perpetrator of the crime. 5. A seated juror was identified as the shooter during Velazquez’s trial, yet still voted to find him guilty, but has since admitted that he made a grave mistake. 6. There is an outstanding disparity between the initial descriptions of the shooter’s appearance and race-as provided by every single witness-and Mr. Velazquez’s actual appearance and race. 7. The police failed to pursue and investigate an individual by the name of “Mustafa” who was identified to law enforcement by multiple independent sources as the shooter and the person responsible for the death of the deceased. His continued incarceration violates his right to due process under Article 1, 5, and 6 of the New York State Constitution and the 8th and 14th Amendments to the United States Constitution. As citizens of "OUR" global community, WE respectfully declare that the case of the People v. Jon-Adrian Velazquez(Indictment #693/98) be vacated immediately. We demand immediate intervention and correction, and also pray for favorable consideration in this matter in accordance with our Bill of Rights.5,345 of 6,000 SignaturesCreated by Dylan Wood

Awareness for the disease Avascular Necrosis (AVN)There are thousands of people of all ages that have been affected by this rare disease including myself called Avascular necrosis. This disease goes through several different stages and can often be overlooked or misdiagnosed. Unfortunately I am one of the many that was not diagnosed early enough to prevent having my hips replaced because of it. Some of the factors that cause this are the excessive use of alcohol, steroids, trauma, sickle cell anemia, arthritis and lupus. All of these can contribute to blood loss from bone. Although it is unknown exactly what causes this condition. Avascular necrosis can also occur without any conditions of these risk factors being present. All of the bones in the body can be affected by Avascular necrosis. It can render the person to be in severe pain as well as lead to deterioration of the joints. The femur bone in the thigh is most commonly affected, causing pain in the hip and knee. Also the ankles, shoulders, and jaw are also commonly affected by this disease too. Avascular necrosis can occur in more than one part of the body during its life long course of the condition, either at the same or different times. I have designed and created an awareness ribbon for this silent rare disease. The colors of the ribbon are blue (faith), green (hope) and purple (peace). I created the ribbon in 2014.2,355 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Wyketha K. Parkman

Wheelchair Access On Commercial AirlinesDear President Biden and Congressional Leaders: The Air Carrier Access Act of 1986, Title 49, Section 41705 of the U.S. Code, prohibits commercial airlines from discriminating against passengers with disabilities. The act itself, however, does not have any provision to protect the rights of those who, because of their disabilities and for safety reasons, cannot sit in a standard airline passenger seat and must remain seated in their personal wheelchairs like myself. These individuals are prevented from traveling any way except by land vehicles, trains, or ships. This constitutes a blatant infringement on their civil rights and access to affordable and expedient transportation. We, the undersigned, propose that every commercial aircraft have one to two removable passenger seat(s), in the front row of every aircraft, with a 4-point air cargo system underneath (identical to the system used in the U.S. Air Force cargo transport aircraft) to fasten each wheelchair securely to the floor of the cabin. An additional safety belt will be required around the waist of each wheelchair user to secure them in their seats. This proposed setup will guarantee the accessibility and safety of every passenger on board. Such implemented change is an economically sound investment for air carriers. The large and growing market of people with disabilities has $175 billion in discretionary spending, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Additionally, The New York Times reported that spending by travelers with disabilities exceeds $13.6 billion annually. I know that I personally spend approximately $5,000/ year on vacations. We estimate that this amount will increase significantly once individual aircraft become more wheelchair accessible. Please amend the Air Carrier Act of 1986 and push the Federal Aviation Administration to require airlines to designate wheelchair accessible spaces on every commercial aircraft.
