More and more states are banning and outlawing gay marriage. The most recent state was a surprise. North Carolina, a supposedly "progressive" state, outlawed the basic human right of matrimony just because the humans happened to be of the same sex. I live in New Jersey. I am family friends with a gay couple who have been living happily for years. I want to attend their wedding and help bring social justice to homosexuals in this great state of ours. Tell our state legislature to get a bill passed. Get them to pressure Chris Christie into signing it. If he vetoes it, help the Democrats representing our state shove it up his throat and allow these US Citizens the same matrimonial rights as heterosexuals/

This Petition is a popular request for President Obama to sign an Executive Order that will abolish Usury in all forms and methodology. Further, this Petition demands that Congress enact Flat Rate Taxation-immediately, to exact amity, comity, equity and parity and thereby rebuild the nation's economy--expediently.

the President has term limits , Congress has term limits : Why Not The Supreme Court?

Blacks and Latinos are targeted and jailed for small amounts of marijuana while comedians and the President of the US laugh about their own use. This is hypocriay at its most crass. The Justice Dept. is now busting dispensaries and users in states where medical weed is legal, even though Obama promised not to do that. Thousands of people have been killed by drug cartels because of this absurd prohibition. Legalization will also bring in billions of dollars in public money through regulation and taxation

Democrats in the House have proposed raising minimum wage to $10 and hour. Raising minimum wage will allow large numbers of people, particularly women and minorities, to better support themselves and their families. We all know that America tends to look down on individuals who are not completely self sufficient, but also creates systems that make it impossible for people to meet that goal. Raising minimum wage will allow countless people more dignity and respect, as well as breathing room in their budgets.

Candidates that "flat-out lie!" should be penalized! We do not need a LIAR in the White House. Falsehoods need to be corrected!

GETTING RID OF THIS SELF SERVING IDIOTIC GOVERNOR

I do not even have provide reasons why Citizens United is the ultimate of WRONG; it is glaringly obvious why this needs to be repealed. It should never have been approved by the Supreme Court. It just goes to show how corruption has wormed its way through our entire system. REPEAL CITIZENS UNITED

The US spends more money than any other country for maternity care and has one of the highest maternal mortality rates. It has been shown that the majority of obstetric guidelines experienced by women are "not based on good and consistent scientific evidence." We think Americans must become educated on the state of our maternity care system and demand that changes to be made to promote physiologic childbirth, as well as accurate information for women to make informed decisions for their health care.

American voting rights are under siege. In 2011 alone, 19 new laws and two executive orders were enacted to make it harder for people to vote this year. The Bush Administration started the trend started a decade ago, targeting an alleged epidemic of voter fraud. But a study by the Justice Department five years on found virtually no evidence of illegal attempts to skew elections. 

 Thirty-one states now require that people have a government-issued ID card to vote. This is a needless barrier for any voter, but when you consider that 25 percent of African Americans do not have photo IDs, compared to 11 percent of all voters, it is no wonder that many see these laws as a modern day poll tax. 

 The evidence shows that these laws are a solution for a non-existent problem. And they suppress the vote—especially in historically disenfranchised communities. 

To ensure that every American can exercise their right to vote in November, join with me in asking your local election officials to take the following measures now. The integrity of the election depends on it.

A very simple way to bring down gasoline prices is to require that all gasoline powered vehicles in the United States operate on the same grade of gasoline. This can significantly reduce costs for refining, storing, and transporting different grades of gasoline. Auto makers already comply with many regulations, and this is easy for them. This requires no new technology, no new infrastructure, and only simple changes in the design of a small minority of vehicles. There is no good reason for having multiple grades of gasoline.
