Paid Maternity LeaveAll mothers and infants need to be together to bond and to breastfeed. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a full year of breastfeeding for both baby's and mother's health. This doesn't happen when moms have to return to work after six weeks (if they have paid sick leave). Most families can't afford to take unpaid family leave.380 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Marie Fitzpatrick

Save Black Men/Woman's Hopeless LivesThere are more than a hundred thousand over 65, non violent black people in America's state prisons, who no longer have the capacity to commit the kinds of crimes they are imprisoned for. Florida holds more than all states but 4. A black person couldn't even play basketball for Southern Universities until the mid 1970s. A large majority are in for more than 10 years, for non violent crimes. Habitual offenders they are called. Free them now, they are poor, penniless, and led a life without hope, please give them free air in their last days, as they don't live much past their early 70s. Many of them were innocent of the some of the crimes they plead guilty to, rather than follow the advice of bad attornies or face all white juries.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mike Straub

Dismiss Citations for Honking on Pecos StreetOn March 24, 2012 the San Angelo Police Department began issuing citations to motorists who used the horn as a sign of support for or disapproval of Planned Parenthood. This petition urges the honorable judges of the San Angelo Municipal Court to dismiss all citations for "non-emergent or excessive use of horn" (or like citations) on or after this date. Dismissal of these citations is a gesture of goodwill toward the motorists that did nothing but express themselves in a way that is inconsistent with a little-known local law.269 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Kristopher Martin
