Trafficking Victims Protection Act 2000 (TVPA) has been the foundation in the U.S. fighting modern day slavery. In September 2011 the bill expired due to congress not voting to reauthorize the bill. The Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA) 2011, bill S. 1301 has been delayed in passing the senate due to political agendas. Politics shouldn't take precedence over human rights.

Sign this petition to encourage our legislators to hold Instant Runoff Elections in Oregon! This means that if/when your first choice candidate does not win the popular vote, your vote automatcially goes to your next best choice. Instant Runoff Elections, if done correctly, would effectively eliminate the two party system giving new platforms an opportunity to be heard and supported. This will enable voters to vote with their full interests and take a more powerful role in our government. Sign your support, and share with your friends and family!

The first and arguably most important vote Maine's new US Senator will cast will be to choose a leader. The leader of the senate sets the agenda and is the gate-keeper of all legislation, confirmations and committee assignments. Maine voters are entitled to know whether unenrolled candidate Angus King will vote for Democrat Harry Reid or Republican Mitch McConnell.

We are asking parents and family of K-12 children in Grandview to support the Grandview City School District in upgrading their policies and practice relating to controlling bullying behavior and acceptable conduct. We believe that the depth and complexity of this issue requires very careful examination and follow-through for the community to move effectively. We trust that the board, with the sustained support and attention of the Grandview community can make the schools an even better place than they are already. For the majority of students, the new attention to this issue may make no discernible difference. We are confident, however, that changes in what is considered acceptable behavior for K-12 student will, for some students, make all the difference. We are suggesting an array of measures that should be explored as policies are re-established and implemented. If this is important to you, and you believe the statement and the listing of suggestions are sensible, please sign the petition.

IMMEDIATE WITHDRAWAL OF US TROOPS FROM AFGHANISTAN

Many people are tempted to download intellectual property from the Internet. Are they all thieves? In the strictest sense, yes, but most simply do not understand the destructive nature of their actions. New laws will not work. They are simply too difficult to enforce.. So what will? As the widow of a musician I used to derive most of my living from royalties due from books published by my husband. I have watched as my royalties declined almost to nothing. The publishers are at a loss to help They fear for their own survival. Already thousands of music book sellers have gone out of business. Who will write the books of the future if their is no incentive to write them. Please share your thoughts with me on this which is for me a catastrophic situation.
