Stop Medical Rights to teens on Drugs!! Save our Children!My son was abusing drugs as a teenager. When the Department of Children Family Services got involved with my family, I thought great my son is finally going to get help. Except I didn't know the law of the State of California that allows our children ages 13 to 17 even if they are abusing narcotics, alcohol or marijuana can choose if they want to go to Inpatient Drug Rehabilitation. As a parent I could not force my son into Drug Rehab. The Department of Children and family Services could not force my son into Drug Rehab. Drug Court for families and children could not force my son into a Drug Rehab. A judge is the only one if he or she feels the child is going to die. How long do parents like me have to suffer trying to help our children out of drug addiction?2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lizeth Ortiz

Take Away Tax-exempt Status from Promoters of HateReactionary talk show host Bryan Fischer enjoys tax free status while spewing hate and vitriol into the American airwaves and pulling the Republican party further to the right. The continuation of this infringes upon the rights of all Americans who are not a member of the white anglo saxon protestant community.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rich Dreyling

Say NO to Rush Limbaugh disparaging Dolores Huerta & women in generalI think we all can agree that Dolores Huerta, the UFW’s co-founder and president of the Dolores Huerta Foundation is an exemplary role-model of a good American. Dolores has spent her life sacrificing to advocate for workers, immigrants, and women’s rights. She has a fierce determination to help the impoverished and make the world a better place. She has received numerous awards for her courageous community service and fittingly enough on May 29th President Obama awarded her the highest civilian honor in the United States, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. It was a very proud moment for all who believe in the power of nonviolent social change. However, nationally syndicated talk show host Rush Limbaugh showed his true colors by using this award as an excuse to go on the attack against women—again—by disparaging Dolores receiving it. On Russ’ May 30th Show he said, "The Presidential Medal of Freedom is now being rendered meaningless. It’s just a political award. That’s all it is. It’s been politicized. It’s another great tradition, institution down the tubes. " Not only that but he insultingly said, "As a young adult, Huerta taught school—though she never had an education degree—until 1955, when, as a single mother of seven children—she now has eleven—she launched her career as a political activist. " How typical of Rush. Scorning Dolores for being a single mother instead of recognizing that this amazing—and college educated woman—raised a remarkable family (Dolores’ children include a doctor, lawyer, teacher, chef, artist, executive director, etc) while pursuing a fierce determination to help people. Please help us teach Rush Limbaugh that disparaging women is not the status quo-a lesson he should have learned back in March from the backlash he’s faced for branding law student Sandra Fluke a “slut” and “prostitute,” and more recently in his personal attack on journalist Tracie McMillan’s while commenting on her book on the food industry when he referred to her as an “authorette.” Angie’s List—a popular source for information about local businesses—is a sponsor for the Rush Limbaugh show. Not only that, they pay for Rush to personally voice them over the air. E-mail them today and tell them that this is not acceptable. They should not be advertising on a show that disparages women. Please send your e-mail today by clicking on the green "participate" button to the top right. It will take you just minutes to help, but that help can have an enormous impact.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by UFW

Clean FISHABLE Water. Act Now.This year is the 40th anniversary of the Clean Water Act and Waterkeepers around the nation are working to achieve the central tenets of this important law: swimmable, drinkable, fishable waters for all. Unfortunately, our streams and rivers remain threatened by a variety of pollutants, many of our fisheries are near extinction and some members of the U.S Congress, pressured by polluting industries, are working hard to erode the protections of this important law. Wild salmon are a cultural and economic pillar in the Pacific Northwest and they are threatened with extinction. Industrial logging roads are a leading cause of sediment pollution, threatening water quality and native fish populations. Rogue Riverkeeper believes it is time for the logging industry to do its fair share to protect water quality. We oppose efforts underway to exempt the timber industry and logging roads from the Clean Water Act and we are asking for your help. For clean water and wild salmon, act now. www.rogueriverkeeper.org1,321 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Lesley Adams

Maintain the North Carolina Racial Justice Act!In 2009, the North Carolina General Assembly passed a landmark piece of civil rights legislation, the NC Racial Justice Act (RJA). The RJA allows people facing capital prosecution and execution to introduce evidence of racial bias, including statistical evidence, if it exists in their case. The Racial Justice Act implements the fundamental principles that nondiscrimination is the standard in North Carolina and that equal treatment under the law should be extended to every individual regardless of race. On April 20, 2012 Superior Court Judge Greg Weeks ruled in the first case to be heard under the RJA, finding intentional bias in the case of Marcus Robinson, both in the county and judicial division where he was tried, and across the state. As required by the RJA, Robinson was re-sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. Since 2010, the new majority in the NC General Assembly has been trying to repeal the RJA. They passed a bill that did repeal it, the Governor vetoed that bill, and they were unable to muster the votes to override her veto. Early in June, 2012, House members introduced another bill that guts the RJA, despite the clear evidence of racial bias cited in Judge Weeks’ order, and it passed with a veto-proof majority. It now heads to the NC Senate for a vote. Regardless of ones views on the death penalty, we should all agree that racial discrimination has no place in our criminal justice system. This petition urges North Carolina policy makers to defend this necessary civil rights legislation against all efforts to undermine, weaken or repeal its strength.9,854 of 10,000 SignaturesCreated by Anita Earls

Petition for PeaceWe have been at war for most of the over 300 years we have been a self declared country. Our illegal and aggressive practices have caused millions of deaths the world over. It must stop. There are better ways to live and die. Caring for and nurturing and sharing solutions and trading equitably with the people of other countries is better than killing, maiming, poisoning, and generally destroying lives and cultures. Everyone wins like that. I would like to see signers in every state, hundreds at least from each State and Territory, and Washington D.C.22 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Penelope Rose (Seitler)
