• Congress: Give us your health care and retirement benefits
    Members of Congress enjoy the best health care coverage in the world, and retirement benefits that guarantee security after as little as a single two-year term. We all pay for these benefits, while Congress looks for ways to cut the nation's safety net for seniors, including Medicare and Social Security. If there have to be cuts, they should begin with our ruling elite.

  • Support H.R. 2316 "Fair Sentencing Clarification Act of 2011"
    In 2010, Republicans and Democrats joined together to pass one of the most important sentencing reform laws in over a decade: the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010. The Act increased the amount of crack cocaine needed to trigger long five and ten year mandatory minimums, in effect, lowering sentences. But the Act does not help people already serving prison sentences, even though Congress determined those sentences were unfair. Two ways to take action, go to www.house.gov/representatives/find/ to locate your House Representative and send an email, letter or make a phone call or visit FAMM.org and click on the action center to write your congress person.

  • Wear All White For Women's Rights: Visibility Protest
    I am writing because I am so frightened by what is happening in this country right now that I started a grassroots visibility protest. Wear All White for Women's Rights will take place on April 2nd, with the intention of raising public awareness of the all-too aggressive war on women's rights being waged across the US and the globe. Why wear white? The inspiration comes from Leymah Gbowee’s protests in Liberia, as well as from the history of the suffragist movement in the UK and the US; we think it will make a strong visual statement, and hopefully it will cause plenty of onlookers to ask "Why are you dressed like that?", giving every participant the opening to start a conversation about women's rights.

  • Restitution for Slavery to Blacks in N America
    America is the most powerful nation in the world in terms of military, trade & agriculture. Most of this was achieved from the services of over 300 years by the great-great parents of Black people alive in USA today, many of whom are going through extremely adverse health and financial stresses, while the white descendants get prime heath care and low interest loans from the benefit that our current system of government that DID NOT include truly freed Black Americans in the equation. We want restitution in the form of some land for our own and being that a majority of this free labor took place here in Georgia we think we should have some land here, in Georgia, where we can do for Ourselves in our pursuit of Knowledge, Wisdom, Understanding, Freedom, Justice , Equality, Food, Clothing, Shelter, Love, & Peace which truly brings HAPPINESS.

  • Governor John Hickenlooper: Restore Homeowner's Rights In Colorado
    In the state of Colorado banks can steal property in a 120 hearing with an affidavit and no clear chain of title of ownership. Currently the Magistrate rules on whether or not a homeowner is in the military or in arrears. A homeowner is not given due process of law and has little or no recourse other than to quietly let their home be stolen under the guise of a foreclosure that in its appearance allows the public trustee to sell the property at auction.

  • JUSTICE FOR STANTON STORY
    Stanton Story an African American has been incarcerated for over 40 years, starting when he was twenty for a crime that he did not commit. There was no evidence and only one witness who was found to make false testimonies to the court. Stanton Story still states that he is innocent. A Police Officer was killed but Stanton Story did not do the crime. He states: I HAVE NEVER MURDERED ANYONE AND I NEVER WILL. After finding that the first trial was judicially bias a second trial was ordered and Governor Corbett was the District Attorney. Gov. Corbett was making his name known in the political areas within Pittsburgh, he made Stanton Story's case a widely publicized racial death qualifying judicial political trial. Stanton Story was tried and convicted to death when there was no death penalty in Pennsylvania. Stanton Story deserves justice a new trial in front of his peers. The trial when he was pronounced guilty was made up of all white jurors who was relatives of police officers and one was the niece of the mayor. Let "GOD" help you to decide if Stanton Story deserves justice and if you find in your heart and soul that he does; Please sign this petition.
