Repeal the NDAA - Pass the Due Process Guarantee ActOn Dec.31st 2011 Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act into law. Clauses 1021 and 1022 of that bill legalize the indefinite imprisonment of any American citizen by the MILITARY without charges, evidence, trial or legal representation - all of which violates the 1st, 5th and 6th amendments to the constitution - on the accusation, not proof, that the person has committed a "belligerent act" or "substantially supported" a force hostile to the US. These terms have no legal meaning and can be used to justify the arrest and imprisonment of any person for anything. All but 10 senators voted "yea" while the House was split. Some members of Congress are moving to reverse the damage with the Due Process Guarantee Act, a bill that would restore the rights of Habeas corpus, trial by jury and legal counsel guaranteed in the Bill of Rights to all American citizens and legal residents. The bill is stuck in committee in both Houses and as of this writing does not have enough votes to pass. Find your representatives and how they voted here: http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=112&session=1&vote=00230#position and here http://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/112-2011/h932 Congress also passed the "Trespass Act", a bill that would have made ML King's March on Washington an illegal act. In addition, Senator Lieberman is sponsoring the "Enemy Expatriation Act" a bill that would remove all citizenship rights of any person accused (not proven) of having committed a "belligerent act". Our goal is one million signatures. Our signatures will be delivered to every member of Congress.1,098 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Ellen Olenska

Justice for Trayvon Martin17 year old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed while walking home from a convenience store on the evening of February 26th. The shooter, George Zimmerman, was the neighborhood watch captain. Zimmerman, a 200 pound 28 year old with a history of violence, claimed self defense although Trayvon Martin, with no criminal history, had nothing more than candy and an iced tea in his hands. George Zimmerman remains free.552,351 of 600,000 SignaturesCreated by Maria Roach

Colorado: SB 3: End the Misuse of Credit Reports as barriers to hiringThis petition is to end the misuse of credit reports as barriers to getting people back to work. You may recall 60% of employers are now using credit reports in hiring even though there is no evidence that they predict the quality of an employee and hundreds of thousands of Coloradans have had their credit impacted, due to no fault of their own, by the recent recession. Furthermore, there are major errors in the credit reports of over 20 million Americans. It's time to remove this unnecessary barrier to getting people back to work. The bill passed the Colorado Senate on a vote of 20 - 15 but the bill faces significant challenges in the House. It is scheduled for hearing in the Colorado House Monday March 19, 2012 at 1:30 PM. It is the 2nd bill up. Please testify in support of SB 3 to help us end this practice that creates a vicious cycle of unemployment. You can also help by writing letters to the editor or calling and writing the members of Local Government and asking for their "yes" vote:3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Teri Hodge

Take Rush Limbaugh off the air in Grand IslandRush Limbaugh's attack on Sandra Fluke, the college student who spoke to Congress about women's reproductive rights, calling her a slut and a prostitute and asking her to make a sex video, is beyond reprehensible and should be the end of his on-air career. Let's convince KRGI to kick him off the air in Grand Island.63 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Virginia Fahnestock

STOP Governor Corbett's proposed budget cuts for individuals with intellectual disabilitiesGovernor Corbett's proposed budget would nearly eliminate the funding for families who receive intellectual disability services funded by state -only dollars. My sister Mary has been receiving funding since she became ill and my father was no longer able to care for her. The home she is currently living in run by Devereux is being forced to close. Mary and others like her are vulnerable. Governor Corbett said he valued children and adults with intellectual disabilities as fully participating members of society and that he would work to provide them with the support they need to achieve their potential. Make him fullfill that promise he made to me and the thousands of other families with relatives with intellectual disabilities!232 of 300 SignaturesCreated by amy neering
