Protect the Rohingyas of Burma from Slaughter and PersecutionDear President Obama and Secretary Clinton, Just as President Bill Clinton set a shining example of leadership by protecting the truly helpless in Bosnia, please use your influence to stop the ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya minority in Burma (condoned by Burmese President Thein Sein). Thank you. The Rohingyas of Burma are facing a brutal double assault by the Burmese government and Buddhist majority. Over the past months, scores of innocent Rohingya have been killed by the military as well as Buddhist monks. The ones that flee their homes to save their lives have nowhere to go! Influential Burmese people are inciting hatred against this ethnic minority through social media.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by NOOR ALAM

Petition to ban Assault CarsIn 2010 alone, traffic accidents produced 32,788 fatalities. These people were from all ages, walks of life, and included men, women, and children. Furthermore, the cars in these accidents produced untold amounts of carbon emissions. It is time to say enough is enough, and to ask Congress to ban the motorized implements of destruction used in these accidents.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by everyman

Domestic Violence RegistryThe petition that i am starting is somewhat like the Sex Offender Registry, but for domestic violence. Through the years i have seen many battered women even wives and children dying by the hands of their love ones. Not to be one sided women included, if one lives to get away i think the next person should be notified of the danger they are getting involved in because many people are ashamed to tell what was going on that's why we would have this registry. Thank you for your time!28 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mindy Bolton

Public Funded ElectionsI am outraged, disgusted and angered by the amount of money spent on elections, at every level, money that could be used to solve real problems, like homelessness, education, etc. Since I had to choose one state, I am hoping that voters in the other states will start their own petitions to put an end to money in politics and time spent on fundraising instead of actually working on issues.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ruxandra-Ana Iacob

Mr. President, please ask Vladimir Putin to free members of Pussy Riot from jail!Russian authorities have arrested members of feminist punk band "Pussy Riot" for demonstrating inside Christ the Saviour Cathedral in Moscow. These young women were simply performing a song which called for Vladimir Putin's resignation. According to Russian authorities, the women have been accused of "hooligan-ing," and the state prosecutor is threatening to sentence them to three years behind bars. However, we all know that this is a mere attempt to censor free speech and suppress Putin's dissidents. Join us in telling Mr. Putin that his detainment and prosecution of these women is unlawful, inhumane, and violates both human and civil rights. These women were simply exercising their freedom of speech, and must be set free!155 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Megan Newmark

Deny tax exempt status to most non-profits and all churchesReligious organizations are now big business and are attempting to force their views upon the nation with political pressure. These organizations, along with other non-profits like the chamber of commerce, would have the right to freedom of speech just like I do if they are a citizen. Take away their tax exempt status and make citizens out of them.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by William Colbath

Stop stealing from the top, that is why you Rich people trying to tell us how to survive on pennies.Stop our Representatives from getting their hands on money that is originally for the people from cashing in on what is meant for the people. When a Representative find monies that is meant for all the people, they need to plan a budget around who are to receive the monies and give people a chance to apply for it before they tell people who are their friends and family. We have so many people stealing from the top that we don't have anything trickling down to the people that really need it.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Beverly J
