Repeal Ineffective Abstinence Only EducationH.R. 1085 Repealing Ineffective and Incomplete Abstinence-Only Program Funding Act of 2011 has been sitting in the House of Representatives for over a year. Passing this bill would remove Federal funding for ineffective abstinence-only education, and redirect funds towards comprehensive sex-education programs that have already proven effective. We urge you to sign this petition to give America's children the education they so desperately need to protect themselves! In 2007, a government-funded research study found that abstinence-only education, which teaches that abstinence is the only accepted form of birth control, isn't actually reducing the rate of STD transmission in teens or teen pregnancies...or even reducing the number of teens who have sex. Plus, the risk taking behaviors are staggering: a recent poll of American high school students showed that almost 40% of sexually active teens didn't use a condom the last time they had sex, and over 75% did not use hormonal birth control. Shocking! But...how can teens use a condom, if they have never been taught what it is? Research has found that comprehensive sex education programs show serious promise in reducing some of the staggering STD transmission and teen pregnancy rates. These programs earn the title of "comprehensive" because in addition to teaching that abstinence is still the safest form of contraception, these programs also teach about the health benefits to condom use and hormonal birth control. These programs even offer American youth educational tools to protect themselves from dating violence and maintain healthy relationships. It's time to take a stand, and tell the government to stop wasting money on useless education. Instead, demand that our children receive a comprehensive education that has been PROVEN to work!102 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Keara and Stephanie

Raise awareness of Cannabis' benefitsThis is a petition to raise awareness within the communities of the advantages that Cannabis provides to patients suffering from cancer who are currently undergoing treatment and also how control of the substance instead of full prohibition will diminish crime rates in communities and allow the decrease of accessibility to the plant within minors; a great example of how prohibition will not work can be seen in the country's previous experience with alcohol during the prohibition era. Please understand that this petition intends to open people's minds to the truth of this plant created by God and meant to be used to our advantage.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Travis Stokem

Civil Rights Office in North Carolina Public Official AccountabilityPrivate US citizens of NC currently do not have an office to submit a grievance letter to for due process to report racial discrimination or misconduct of public officials, because there is no state office to investigate public officials misconduct , these private citizens will have to pay a lawyer to navigate the state Court of Appeals. Many can’t afford a lawyer and never receive justice. A state civil rights office will give all a fair chance at justice. Currently many families and children have been targets of racial discrimination and hate crimes. Please watch our video of the Student with No Hope.

Frack Sand Mining Health Safety StandardsA large number of oil companies are moving into MN to begin digging silica sand. This sand is used as a part of the fracking process. MN has a large amount of this sand that is at or close to the surface. Much of these deposits are found along the MN River as well as the Cannon & the MIssissippi Rivers. The problem with this sand is the dust. It is extremely fine & can carry for long distances & is a carcinogen. It causes a disease called Scilicosis(similar to Mesothelioma). Anyone who lives with a few miles of a mine has an extremely high chance of developeing this lung disease. Right now rural counties who have no one qualified to deal with this are being overrun with permit requests. This needs to be handled on a statewide basis. Also these are open pit, involving blasting & haevy truck traffic. One mine is Wisconsin has 550 truck trips a day. Unless we want to turn S.E. MN into West Virgini, WE NEED TO ACT NOW3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tony Nelson
