• Investigate Who Buried Kitten Alive in Concrete
    In Colorado City, Arizona someone half-buried a kitten alive in concrete (see: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/09/cat-buried-in-concrete-colorado-city-az_n_1660320.html). Despite efforts to free the kitten, it died a few days after being removed from the concrete. The local sheriffs refuse to investigate the crime. We would like to see this crime investigated and the guilty parties punished to the full extent of the law.

  • Americans for Children
    Grover Norquist has asked Republicans to sign a pledge to not raise taxes no matter what. This has brought the country to a standstill. I want every Representative and Senator to sign the pledge below to commit to putting the health, education, and wellness of the children living in the USA first among their priorities. My petition is asking people to send this pledge to their Representatives and Senators.

  • Emancipation Proclamation becomming a National Holiday
    Emancipation Proclamation Day Why have we not pushed for the day the Emancipation Proclamation (January 1, 1863) to become a national holiday? Every other nation that has gained their freedom have made that day a national day of celebration. We in America have July 4th has a national holiday because it was the day we became free from England's ternary, but yet we do not have January 1, 1863 as a national holiday. The day slaves became free. Lets let Congress and the President know that we want this day January 1st as a National Holiday (Parades and all) Showing that all Americans are free. free.

  • Ban Plastic Bags in Florida
    The one time single use of plastic bags is detrimental to our environment, wildlife, ocean and, therefore, ourselves. According to The Wall Street Journal, the U.S. goes through 100 billion plastic shopping bags annually. If we can encourage shoppers to buy reusable bags, we can protect the environment, reduce waste, as well as protect the animals of the ocean.

  • Ask the Justice Department to invalidate voter repression laws
    Many states have passed "voter ID" laws to "curb voter fraud". There should be no law passed that would increase the difficulty of a legal voter to be able to cast his/her vote. There are very few cases of voter fraud reported in our ENTIRE Nation, and there is little if no evidence that leads even the most careful investigator to believe that any of these laws will "curb" the nearly-non-existent voter fraud. Also, there has been verbal acknowledgment by a Pennsylvania lawmaker that these laws have been enacted for political & partisan reasons.
