National Indian DayNative Americans are the foundation to the existing ground we walk upon today; we are the people from many generations of strong people. This day of recognition will bring awareness and educate citizens throughout the world in a positive manner and influence people to express their support and respect to our Native American people. There are several great Native American leaders. The date of April 22 which is also Earth Day seems to be an appropriate time, since Native Americans protect our Mother Earth. This will permit so many people to contribute observation by 'closing' which would conserve in so much positive mannerism. I think everyone should sign this petition, since there is not a specific date for ALL to observe on the same date together. Why you should sign my petition? It is the tribal people who will contribute a helping hand and peaceful traits to all people for generations to come. That is a proven fact.288 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Ms. PJ Moore (Red Dirt Girl)

Abolish the Death PenaltyCalifornia spends about $137 million every year on death penalty trials, but there has not been an execution for 3.5 years. Florida spends about $51 million every year on death penalty trials. This money could be going towards children's education. The death penalty may be another form of the Jim Crow laws. People who are discriminated against are determined guilty until proven innocent. - Innocent men like Duane Buck, Todd Mitchell, and Anthony Porter have been convicted of murder. According to MotherJones magazine, "Texas inmate Duane Buck was sentenced to death after racist testimony from a psychologist who said Buck's race made him inherently more dangerous. Illinois' Anthony Porter who, after 16 years on death row, walked out of prison 48 hours before his scheduled execution thanks to Northwestern journalism students who proved his innocence. Texas' Cameron Todd Mitchell wasn't as fortunate. A forensic group proved he was innocent of setting a house [on] fire that killed his children five years after his execution." - Amnesty stated, "Of the 500 prisoners executed between 1977 and the end of 1998, more than 81 percent were convicted of the murder of a white, even though blacks and whites are the victims of homicide in almost equal numbers nationwide." - With Franklin's new bill, HB 1, in Georgia, women who have miscarriages will be convicted of murder.149,400 of 200,000 SignaturesCreated by Emilyn Cahn

Student Loan RatesWhile interest rates are at an all time low, student loan rates for college and graduate students are running from 6.8-7.90%, are non-dischargeable in bankruptcy, and due to recent changes by Congress, require interest to be paid by the students while in school. This heavy burden will force some students to leave school and cause others decades to repay, as tuition rates spiral while colleges and universities make millions. The interest rates need to be reduced and the debts made dischargeable3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mary LeVine

Grand Rapids: Save democracy, end corporate ruleWho should govern, corporations or people? Who does govern? Citizens United, a recent ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court, extended the doctrine that corporations are persons and are entitled to make unlimited and anonymous contributions to political campaigns. In its effect, this ruling is corrupting elections, dis-empowering voters, and destroying our democracy. Move To Amend Grand Rapids is urging the City to take steps toward amending the U.S. Constitution to firmly establish that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights and that money is not speech under the First Amendment. Let's amend!164 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Kenneth Schilling
