  • Save the Arts
    The arts are a vital part of our society, and economy. Congress should stop slashing arts funding, and sustain or increase crucial funding for the NEA. Most NEA spending gets matched by state and private donations at the local level - therefore federal cuts have a dramatic impact on programs. Artists are on the front lines of creating new products, services and--jobs!

  • Take a look at our justice system
    Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch captain because he looked suspicious while waliking back from the store to his father's home in a gated community. Was this a reason to kill this teenager? Could there have been another solution? Why haven't the police arrested the alleged person , George Zimmerman that fired this fatal shot. Please sign this petition if you think George Zimmerman should be arrested, and a deeper investigation done about this fatality.

  • Take Rush Limbaugh of the air
    Rush Limbaugh's reprehensible 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, should be the end of his on-air career. Let's convince KTBB to kick him off the air in Tyler. Real men respect all women.

  • Breach in Neighborhood Watch Policies
    Recently an unarmed youth, the late Mr. Trayvon Martin, was gunned down by a self-proclaimed neighborhood watch volunteer. We would like to know why the Sanford Police Department did not have law enforcement officers monitoring and training this private "volunteer effort." Neighborhood Watch is a nationally recognized organization sponsored by Law Enforcement agencies all over the nation. The volunteer efforts of citizens are monitored and training hours are required before a resident can distribute information, attend meetings, or call a local law enforcement agency to report a crime, or suspicious activity. Any Neighborhood Watch volunteer is knowledgeable in following proper procedure because the Law Enforcement response time is quicker. According to the "nationally" recognized procedure: A) State name, organization (ex: Neighborhood Watch Block/Member) B) Reason for call C) Identifying clothes, tag#, direction alledged individual(s) are traveling. D) Release call if no further info required E) Alert residents listed on "Telephone Chain" card of this action. The suspect in the Martin case, George Zimmerman, did not follow proper procedure. He did not identify himself-according to the 911 tapes-as a Neighborhood Watch Representative. There are various items which identify an individual as "acting suspiciously." Zimmerman did not effectively report why he considered the actions of this "unarmed youth" as suspicious behavior. The vague terminology used in itself did not warrant for "Zimmerman" to pursue Mr. Martin. There are certain guidelines which deem whether activity is suspicious: --Someone screaming or shouting for help --Someone looking into windows and parked cars --Unusual noises --Property being taken out of houses where no one is at home or a business is closed --Cars, vans or trucks moving slowly without apparent destination, or without lights --Anyone being forced into a vehicle --A stranger sitting in a car or stopping to talk to a child --Abandoned cars We would also like to know what training material or guidelines was "Zimmerman" following? If this is a private "watch" sponsored by the Home Owners Association for this Sanford personal property; there has been a serious breach in protocol. Who will be held accountable for this breach in policy? Tina Chestnut Neighborhood Watch Block Captain District 5 (Orlando, Florida)

  • Say "NO" to new voter ID laws.
    There is no need to create new voter ID laws because there is no epidemic of voter fraud. These new ID laws will disenfranchise the poor, the elderly, minorities, and students. A democracy is best served when voting is encouraged.

  • Say NO to "right to work" laws.
    "Right to work" simply means that unions can't collect mandatory dues. If a worker is allowed to opt out of dues collection, that worker still reaps the benefits of the union in their company because other workers will be voluntarily paying the dues.
