  • No Ego Monuments On Taxpayer's Dime
    This petition is about a long standing practice of elected officials having monuments, statues, citations, plaques, etc. delivered in their names because they provided tax payer funds to some institution. "Slush funds" or "Pork Barrel" dispersements to non-profits, education, etc. should be credited to tax payers not their representatives (unless those elected officials can demonstrate that all such funds come from their private bank accounts).

  • Revoke the BSA Congressional Charter
    As a former den leader and pack secretary/treasurer who was kicked out for being gay back in 1998, I have followed the BSA's position on gay membership closely. In the case of Dale v BSA that was argued before the US Supreme Court, the BSA successfully petitioned the court to recognize it as a private religious organization. This decision effectively permits the BSA to discriminate against whomever it chooses. And as much as people may not want to accept it, that is their constitutional right. Imagine one of your church groups being forced to accept someone that did not follow the same teachings as your church. However, as a private religious organization, the government, whether local, state or federal, MUST dissociate itself with the BSA. Failure to do so is a clear violation of the First Amendment. Therefore, it is imperative that the US Congress revoke the charter it granted the BSA back in 1916 that effectively gives it a monopoly not only on the use of the term "scouts" (amended to allow the Girl Scouts to use it in 1954) but also on the type of program. The BSA has successfully sued to prevent the formation of similar organizations that are inclusive and non-discriminatory. It is able to do so solely because of the Congressional charter. Contact your representative and your senator and tell them to revoke the BSA charter. Tell them that the government of the US must not endorse any private religious organization. Tell them that every young boy— gay or straight, atheist or agnostic or relgious— has the right to have the opportunity to enjoy the benefits offered by an organization that helps them develop their character, their self-esteem and their sense of responsibility to the community.

  • Petition For Parliament
    We are a people who are sick of the beauty pagent and popularity contest known as american politics. We are sick of parties hiding behind ideals they do not follow, and delivering promices they won't keep. In a parliament, the party is voted in as a whole, based soley on their ideas, and if they fail to lead by those priniciples they are dismissed from their term early and a new election is held.

  • Deliver to President Obama and Congress this unique economic approach to reach full employment wi...
    This petition has two goals of roughly equal importance. There is a eco-political article posted at www.econostan.com that describes cause and effect of presently argued critical economic policies such as why company’s hire, does lowering income taxes reduce unemployment etc., written at a level that can easily be understood by the average person with absolutely no economic background. . It also contains a unique economic approach to jump start the economy and attain full employment within three years. Goal one is to get potential petition signers to read the article so that they’ll recognize when politicians are lying to them about the effects of these policies. Goal two is to get the President’s Council of Economic Advisors to read, evaluate, and hopefully use this approach to relieve unemployment. Hopefully signers will do so by August 15, 2012.
