  • Prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation in public employment in the State of Idaho
    Two days ago my manager expressed to me that I was the best candidate for the assistant manager position at work. He also informed me that as long as I did well at sales I would be more than likely to get it. Yesterday while at work I was second best sales person in the center. I also came out of the closet while at work. This morning I received a call from the general manager explaining that I was UN-trainable and that I had caused a disruption at work. He also informed me I was to consider today be my date of termination and to not bother coming to work. He then went on to say that I should not speak to any other employees or come into the office at all.

  • Remove special entitlements
    Wheras, Exxon earned $18 billion net profit in one quarter, yet Cogress refused to accept President Obama's plea to end special entitlements of tax payers money given to the oil corporations, And several alternative energy sources now exist in the form of biodiesel, hyroelectric, solar, Wind and other sources, And taxpayers money could be spend more wisely on helping the taxpayers, Therefore, I petition the public to use other sources such as generators powered by filtered Waste Vegetable Oil to produce electricity, biodiesel to power vehicles, hydroelectric, Solar, wind and other sources instead of gas and oil because Cogress is not going to do anything to help the alternative energy free the public from oil corporations!

  • Support Water Supply Research
    Clean and safe drinking water is only a dream for literally millions of people around the world. Even industrialized nations face serious water supply issues today, issues which affect agriculture and industry. Rural and urban people are all affected. It looks like it will be worse in the years ahead. We need to make more political and financial support for exploration of clean water solutions a priority.

  • City of Boca Raton Florida-Go Fur Free!
    Cruelty to animals is never justifiable, but it is particularly disturbing when it is done stricly for vanity and profit. A PLEDGE AND PETITION FOR A FUR FREE BOCA RATON We pledge to refrain from purchasing any and all Fur and Fur trimmed items and clothing including coats, hats, scarves, boots, shoes, gloves, pet toys, household furnishing etc. We support the Ban of the sale of Fur and Fur trimmed clothing and any apparel/household items in the City of Boca Raton, Florida and elsewhere. We urge the City Council to propose and make final a resolution of such a ban within the city of Boca Raton . We find the cruelty perpetrated on fur bearing animals to be barbaric, unnecessary, unacceptable and choose not to support an Industry that raises animals solely for the purpose of ripping their skin from their bodies and using it as decoration. Fur coats are not a necessity, they are a luxury item which causes extreme cruelty to living beings. Fur trim and other items made from fur are not necessities, they are decorative only. Of the 40 million animals a year slaughtered for the Fur Industry, 85% of them come from China, a country that has no humane standards at all. After being raised in unnatural, crowded conditions, at the age of about 8 months ,most animals are anally electrocuted prior to skinning, their bodies being discarded as waste. Horrifyingly, for the sake of efficiency, some Chinese fur farmers place animals into boiling water while still alive, so that their skin pulls away from their bodies easier. This has been recorded and documented by world wide news organizations and is available for viewing on the Internet for those people that are skeptical that humans could be capable of that degree of indifference to suffering. Even in America, there are no protections for the animals raised for their fur and they, too, are raised in horrifying conditions, electrocuted and slaughtered at a young age , their bodies discarded.

  • Campaign Reform = Progress
    There is not a single a single issue more important than this. Without campaign reform there will be no progress meaning affordable healthcare, equal taxation for all. Equal rights for everyone. Both Republican and Democrats are driven by campaign funding, perks, and jobs after retirement. Every other civilized country in the world has it. Not the U.S.A.

  • No more strip searches or body cavity searches in Maine for minor offenses without reasonable cause.
    The United States Supreme Court, on April 2, 2012, upheld strip searches and body cavity searches for those arrested or detained without requiring probable cause or reasonable belief for those searches. Prior to 2003, Maine used to prohibit such searches of those arrested for misdemeanors and other minor offenses unless reasonable cause existed to believe that the detainee was concealing a weapon, contraband or evidence of a crime. The purpose of this petition is to reinstate the requirement of reasonable cause to permit such searches of those arrested for minor offenses.

  • Keep the name "Burien Skatepark"
    People want to rename Burien Skatepark "Jasmine Tully Memorial Park". Jasmine Tully hung out at the skatepark but didn't have anything to do with the skate community. She was not a skater or a biker. Her murder had nothing to do with the skatepark. Please don't exploit her death by renaming our beloved park after someone who didn't respect it.
