Stop Republican ViagraIt is time that we permit employers of conscience to exercise their constitutionally protected beliefs and be permitted to withhold Viagra via employer provided health insurance. It is a tyrannical government that mandates I spend my hard earned money to subsidize men having sex. Erectile dysfunction should not be "the people's problem".10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jonas Grumby

Pull Rush's Misogyny From Portland's AirwavesRush Limbaugh's anti-woman rants have gone so far that it is unacceptable for WGAN to profit from filling Maine's airwaves with his hate and misogyny. Limbaugh called a law student who testified on behalf of insurance coverage for contraceptives a "slut" and a "prostitute" and publicly suggested that she post videos of herself having sex on the Internet. If Rush were using such blatant and unabashed slurs about a racial or ethnic group, his repulsive vitriol would never be broadcast. We request that WGAN, which currently has one female host and 15 male hosts, show its support for the women of Maine by pulling Limbaugh's show from the airwaves effective immediately--and replacing his noon to 3 pm radio show with one that has a woman host.6,268 of 7,000 SignaturesCreated by Annie Finch

Stop Fallin's War on Women and Religion!Oklahoma is just one of many conservative states attacking Women's Rights in the name of religious justice. Most recent is the attempt at defining the fertilized human egg as a person, which would render some forms of contraception as well as abortion illegal. This amounts to little more than the establishment of Christian Law in Oklahoma, which should be just as swiftly rejected as Oklahoma"s 2010 attempt at "preventing" Islamic Sharia Law from ever being enforced or protected in Oklahoma. Using religion to advance the War on Women's Rights is unethical and unconstitutional. Sign this petition to stop Mary Fallin's War on Women's Rights and protect the religious freedoms of all Oklahomans.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jonathan Fith

Increase NIH funding!Chronic underfunding of the NIH has resulted in evisceration of our national medical educational infrastructure, the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs, severe damage to all 50 state economies, erosion of our internation edge in medical research, and the closure of hundreds of ancillary small businesses such as laboratory supply houses. The proposed flat budget for NIH next year will considerably sorsen this situation.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stephen J. Meltzer

Freedom For SyriaPeople in Syria want democracy. The regime has so far killed over 10,000, detained over 100,000 and injured over 50,000, including women and children. Atrocities against humanity are taking place there every minute by the regime and no one is there to help. The regime is bombing homes with heavy artilleries over civilians and denying people the basic needs for life (water, food, medical supplies, etc.). President Obama has helped save lives in Libya and got rid off the Qadafi. We are calling on the U.S. to intervene and save the lives of innocent civilians by getting rid of the most deceptive and barbaric regime in the world. More than 100 people are being killed every day.142 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Yassin Chickha

College Students need a break in fuel prices.Every college student has a budget to succeeding in their educational goals but when the cost of fuel keeps climbing that takes a big bite out of the monies alloted to use and puts a slow down on our abilities to afford our education. The government subsidies fuel for those that truck our commodities across the nation. Why can't the government subsidise college students fuel cost with the same card that the truckers get while they are attending their semester studies. I spend $600.00 in fuel cost each semester which wouldour fuel be subsidised only while attending, spring, summer a pay for one semester class and now that I can't afford that class I am one step behind in my graduation schedule. I ask that nd fall classes and not for trips to the beach or errands, only education! You did it for the truckers so they would not band for a boycott on fuel. What if all collage students said to heck with their education and boycotted fuel cost, what would happen. I would say a lot of public and private colleges would close and the U.S. educational system for the future would also have to take a hit on hiring anyone with a timely degree. Boom there is another hit on the economy!! Help us students while we are striving to make our great country higher in the ranks of education! Give us a break on our fule costs!!20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Linda S. Rex

Tell Mitt Romney to Disavow Ted Nugent's SupportOn Friday, March 2nd, controversial musician Ted Nugent, a proud misogynist with a history of inflammatory comments about women, announced his support for Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney via Twitter: @TedNugent: "after a long heart&soul conversation with MittRomney today I concluded this good man will properly represent we the people & I endorsed him". Here are just a few of Nugent's disgusting utterances about women: (On Hillary Clinton) "You probably can't use the term 'toxic c--' in your magazine, but that's what she is. Her very existence insults the spirit of individualism in this country. This bitch is nothing but a two-bit whore for Fidel Castro." "And if you're a woman who feels that his lyrics to ditties such as the immortal 'Wang Dang Sweet Poontang' are sexist, Nugent says, 'Fuck you and go to a Garth Brooks show. Kiss my dog's dead, diseased, rotting ass. If you don't have a sense of humor, you're not allowed in Ted's world. I don't objectify women. I'd like to think that I'm optimizing their hardware.'" Feminists "are just women who aren't getting it often enough." [St. Petersburg Times, 3/12/99] "...I met a couple of guys in line yesterday and they say write something to my girlfriend, she won't let me go hunting. I wrote her something, I wrote Drop dead bitch. What good is she, trade her in, get a Dalmatian, who needs her, the wench." The Romney campaign seems to have actively sought Nugent's endorsement and are boasting about it. Romney's son Tagg -- who regularly represents his father's campaign as a surrogate -- tweeted: @tromney: "Ted Nugent endorsed my Dad today. Ted Nugent? How cool is that?! He joins Kid Rock as great Detroit musicians on team Mitt!" This is simply unacceptable. Speak out on behalf of women everywhere and tell Mitt Romney to disavow Nugent's support.61 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Brock, American Bridge

Sponsors: Drop Limbaugh!While the freedom of speech is an important part of American freedoms, hate speech should not be rewarded with a pay check.
