• Return of Civil Rights and expunction of records for ex-felons
    This concerns every non-violent ex-felon who has "paid their debt to society" but cannot get a return of their civil rights nor have their records expunged. Under former Florida Governer Charlie Crist this process was streamlined as long as the person had a non-violent offense and met the requirements of the statute. Florida Governor Rick Scott, in an effort to prevent these individuals from voting changed the law almost immediately upon taking office.

  • All Politics Are Local - at least in Brooklyn, NY
    My Brooklyn Neighborhood, Windsor Terrace, is fighting against the mega-giant Walgreen's proposed move into the Key Food site. My neighbors have nowhere locally to shop for grocery items if Walgreen's comes here! We want to preserve the local pharmacies and jobs of the fired workers, and we need your help.

  • Stop Drilling & Fracking in Ohio's Parks
    Environmentalists have expressed concerns about pollution from drilling and the method known as hydraulic fracturing, which blasts millions of gallons of chemically laced water into the earth to fracture shale formations and release oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids such as propane. Governor Kasich is relying on this plan to create jobs for Ohioans. However, like the non-renewable resources he wants to drill for, the jobs too will run out. Please tell Gov. Kasich to stop this potentially irreversible damage to Ohio's parks and groundwater, and instead research and implement renewable resources for creating energy in Ohio.

  • Disarm Gangs
    Gangs of teenagers are easily armed with lethal automatic weapons and handguns and are terrorizing urban areas . Inner cities and "ghettos" are not the only place this is occurring. More and more you hear about gun violence in all areas of the country. Guns are so easy to acquire and there are really no regulations. It's time we realize that we are not able to be in control of the situation as it is. Some things need to go. Gun shows travel the country selling guns to anyone with cash, no questions asked. This is insanity. Gun shows need to go. We need new tough laws and regulations to regulate the way guns are bought, sold, licensed and manufactured. Please sign this petition if you agree that a ban on automatic weapons and hand guns nationwide is needed. Restricting manufacturers from creating these man-killers is essential. Opponents will say that "guns don't kill people, people kill people!", the fact is People with guns kill people. Without guns people are much less likely to kill each other. We can't lead the world on this one, most countries across the globe already restrict guns and require permits to have them, this is civilized. Sign this if you want to see a change in gun laws nationwide.

  • Mr. Boehner, Take $12B Out of Bombs Not Food Assistance!
    The House of Representatives is considering throwing 3M people off of food assistance by slashing the Supplemental Assistance Nutrition Program (SNAP) which Republicans demonize by its old name, "Food Stamps." A family of three, with a total income of more than $24,100 annually, would be out of luck, and food. This is yet another GOP anti-woman bill, as a large amount of public assistance goes to poor working single mothers.
