Diversity versus RacismMy petition is supporting President Barack Obama in his re-election for President of the United States because his election brought about som much needed "Diversity." Diversity versus Racism: A Challenge to Mankind, my new book will tell you why and how destiny has intervened in the Life of "America." I know it may sound weird but I believe President Obama is destined to solve America's economic woes and financial crisis. So before you vote, give this serious consideration.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Johnny Henry

Help change our schoolsStyrofoam trays are a very big problem in my middle school, and even with my large attempt to change these trays to recyclable trays, nothing has changed. The previous petition, where I only went to other schoolchildren to sign, did not persuade our superintendents. As global warming and temperatures rise, I hope to change the world for the best, and fear what affect the styrofoam trays have.61 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Hill

National Ballot for National OfficeCurrently each state can decide how to construct its ballot for the presidency and vp elections. Since these elections are for national office we should have a uniform ballot for president and vice president. This will do much to stop the chicanery and corruption within states over what the ballot looks like, how it can be audited and who can vote.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert Burgee

Tell Gov. Brown to make Democracy accessible to all CaliforniansThe ballot initiative process is an important way Californians can improve their communities by making or changing state laws when the legislature is unable to do what is needed. But today, millions of California voters have no say in what gets on the ballot. Senate Bill 1233 would make initiative petitions available in multiple languages so that voters who speak a different language can have a voice. Our voter guides are already available in multiple languages; it is only fair that initiative petitions should be too. It would cost the state less than one penny per person to include these voters in the democratic process. In a state as diverse as California, providing initiative petitions in English-only means that voters who don’t read English well are left out of the democratic process, and that voters can be given misleading information about a petition and they have no way to verify the petition language. They could be tricked into signing something they don’t understand. This hurts all of us. Our ballot initiative system should work for all of us, not just some.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Braelan Murray

Protect the Moab Utah region watersheds and clean airThe BLM is slated to put up 51,693 acres a total of 28 parcels on the auction block for oil & gas development in the Moab region. One parcel in particular 042 sits on top of numerous water sheds connected to Moab, another is within a half mile of a remote section of the Dolores river & numerous parcels just 20 miles south of Moab next to the small town of La Sal. Special places with names like Bridger Jack Mesa, Flat Iron Mesa, Browns Hole, Black Ridge, Kane Springs, The Lisbon Gap, The Dolores Triangle could all be affected. Moab Utah is the home of Arches & Canyonlands National Park, Dead Horse State Park & millions of acres of public lands. A gem in the eyes of the world the Moab region is one of the most scenic places on the planet, visited by millions of people every year from all over the world. Yet here we are in the fight of our lives as the BLM is slated to put numerous parcels on the auction block for oil & gas development. There was hardly any notice and there is a feeling that it is being fast tracked for approval. These parcels are in direct view of the Moab Valley, Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park & beyond. If this development is approved Moab could lose its water supply because of contamination, lose its clean air from the off gassing from drilling and its beautiful view shed will be marked with oil platforms. Moab is in great jeopardy. Tim DeChristopher went to jail to protect this area because of this same threat and here Moab is once again under threat from oil & gas exploitation. I understand the need for oil and gas development, but I think we need to do this responsibly and not lease in areas that could adversely impact an entire towns water supply and clean air. A lot of water supplies & air have been contaminated across the U.S. due to fracking and natural gas exploration. The Blm has an oil & gas lease auction every year, this year they proposed over 80,000 acres but some were deferred, including 039 which was directly on Moab's watershed. Let's not create a situation that can't be undone. Moab needs not only its citizens to help save it but all out there in the world who love it. The comment period ends Friday October 19th at 4:30 pm.

Help Injured Veterans Get The Assistance They DeserveWhile the U.S. defense budget continues to skyrocket, those who have served our country in the most important way, languish under mounting paper work. Whether their injuries are physical or mental, our veterans deserve the support of the country they defended. We have an able-bodied workforce that is waiting for the opportunity to prove their worth. Let's give the long-term unemployed the chance to help . . . Our servicewomen and men and themselves.40 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chris Ossman

Campaign contribution limitCorporate and super-pac campaign contributions are perverting what's left of our democracy. The Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court makes corporations equivalent to persons. If that is the case, can't we legally restrict each "citizen" to one vote? Let's limit all citizens to contributions of no more than $100 for any campaign. I can afford to put my $100 up against David Koch's $100 any day. This will level the playing field and will end the practice of the rich being more "people" than the rest of us.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Larue
