The only way we are going to see real democracy in action is if we can get the MONEY OUT OF POLITICS.

When California wanted the Lottery, they stated that the proceeds would go to fund education. That was not true, the proceeds go into California's General Fund. Now that money is tight, the California legislature is cutting back on all education funding. California already has one of the densest student per teacher ratios in the country. California also ranks near the bottom for computers in the classroom. This petition puts the California legislature in a position to guarantee the education of all California children by taking the proceeds from the lottery and disbursing them directly to schools in California.

Money has been taken from disabled veterans because we did not get letters before hand. This has cause a hardship for myself as well as 1000s of more veterans. This needs to stop and the VA needs to make sure veterans get the info before hand that way we can make informed decisions and get the proper paperwork in time to stop this wrong doing.

Stopping Laws that rig our elections thru Voter Suppression

Several years ago the Ohio Department of Transportation promised to right the wrongs of the past by turning the West Shoreway (Ohio Route 2) into a 35 MPH Boulevard and opening up the lakefront to the residents of Cleveland. Progress has been slow at best and has now come to a complete stop. Sign this Petition to tell Governor Kasich and the Ohio Legislature to finish the job!

Bolster pride in our country by giving citizens the experience of personally investing in America and in the world. Too many grow to maturity never knowing the satisfaction of personally giving their time and skills to directly benefit humankind and country. Ask anyone who has given of themselves in this manner and they will tell you that their service was the hardest job they ever loved, and personally life-altering for the better. We can show other nations that we are a country and a people who care about others, our country, and our world.

Tim Eyman has wasted Washington State's time and money on numerous unconstitutional voter initiatives, and that is nothing compared to the damage to the state that could be done if he managed to submit an initiative that passed that wasn't unconstitutional. Furthermore, it is much easier for special interest groups to buy Tim Eyman's support than it is for them to buy state government officials, which means the current initiative process unfairly tilts power towards the wealthy. By requiring a 2/3 vote to pass new initiatives it will take that destructive power away from Tim Eyman and special interest groups.

Power should not be limited to the Millionaires and Billionaires of our country. Each citizen shoud have one vote, not a multitude of votes to determine the outcome of an election.

This petition protects the rights of all Americans from Republicans who are trying to control the next elections in November. They are doing their best to steal another election by disenfranchising an entire section of the population who historically vote for Democrats. I am disgusted by the direction of Republican politics in this matter and in their plans should they win control of OUR government.

With all the talk of voter purges and voter ID requirements across the state, a lot of Florida voters are confused about what the voting rules actually are—or might even think they're disqualified when they're not. Election officials in Brevard County have the authority to take emergency action to clean up the mess Gov. Rick Scott caused.
