• Nevada State Athletic Commission - Fix The Incompetence & Corruption That Plagues Boxing -Pacqui...
    The judges scorecards in the bout between Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley on 06/09/12 were a complete travesty. We are calling on the Nevada State Athletic Commission to open an investigation into this obvious mockery and blatant degradation of the sport of boxing. A separate unbiased sanctioning legislative body must be created to protect the boxers and the sport itself. Boxing is the only sport where shenanigans such as last nights decisions can go unregulated and without recourse. With boxing being the largest sport economic source of revenue for Nevada, we the people urge the Nevada State Athletic Commission delve into the realm of corruption and incompetence in boxing before people like myself stop paying $54.95 for a PPV fight and/or spend thousands of dollars to travel and watch in person. The years of righteousness and reverence of boxing are over. The mystique and awe that used to come with watching boxing are over. Until there is change and accountability, let it be known - Nevada State Athletic Commission, HBO PPV and to anyone else to which it may concern; With respect, we refuse to pay for any future boxing endeavors. Make your voice heard! Sign and pass along this petition. It will be sent to the Nevada Athletic Commission 555 E. Washington Ave. Suite 3200 Las Vegas, NV 89101

  • Term Limits
    It is time for us to go back and consider what our Founding Fathers had in mind when they pictured public service. It was to serve and represent their constituents. It was not meant to be a career. Public service is not a full time job. Public office should not only be available for the richest people in the country. Everyone needs peer representation. I think there should be a two term limit for local, State, and Federal officials

  • Declare Inter-Dependence!
    One Planet. One People. Earth is being strangled by obsessive individualism, both personal and of nations. Time to join hands globally, to work together with all people and peoples to heal our one, exquisite, and exquisitely fragile, world. One Planet. One People. Independence is good, but as fingers of a hand, essentially cooperative, inter-dependent.

  • Stop Horse Slaughter Plant Opening in Missouri
    I strongly object to the brutal methods used to kill horses as well as the health concerns due to the toxic nature of horse meat. The USDA and FDA have documentation as to the danger and illegality of producing horse meat from our nation's horses. Missouri Governor Nixon and the state legislature have the obligation to protect our citizens from this industry coming into our state.

  • Making our politicians accountable
    Currently, our politicians at the federal level are voting on issues that do not impact them. When they vote on health care, their jobs are not impacted by the decisions they make about it. They vote on whether or not to give themselves a raise? What other jobs out there conduct themselves in this manner? We should vote for whether or not they're doing the kind of job that would warrant a raise. Social security does not impact them in any way. They need to be impacted by what they're voting on. We need to make our politicians realize they're public servants. They need to stop only serving themselves, and start serving us again.

  • Freeze Congress' Payroll
    The President's jobs plan would put teachers, firefighters, police officers, and construction workers back to work right now. And it's paid for by asking the wealthiest Americans to pay a little more, but Congress refuses to act. Tell Congress we can't wait:

  • True Employment Data
    I want the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Secretary of Labor, and the President to insist on reporting the true growth in the labor force. For May, the figure we read was 69,000 jobs created. That was the seasonally adjusted figure. The true number was 789,000, not seasonally adjusted. Can you imagine what a boost to President obama's reelection prospects the true number would have been?

  • Make Education Priority #1 in Texas
    The purpose of this petition is to address the education budget cuts implemented by the Texas State Senate, House of Representatives and Governor Rick Perry. Texas already ranks near the bottom of every educational statistical category. These budget cuts further cripple our children's chances of being competitive in the emerging global economy. How will Texas remain competitive if we don't properly educate our future leaders? We call on our state leaders to correct these heinous budget cuts.

  • Learning Technology for All
    Schools need better funding to increase the effective use of learning technologies in the classroom. The federal government eliminated the funding source of Title II D and states are increasingly eliminating the learning technology line item in state budgets. Some districts have followed suit! Help raise the awareness of funding EdTech appropriately by signing this petition.
