• Save the Postal Service and Postal Workers Jobs
    Tea Party Republicans are out to cripple the Postal Service, thereby eliminating up to 200,000 good paying Postal Worker jobs. The Post Office is fully funded through the sale of stamps, but Bush-era regulations require them to fully fund pension and healthcare benefits for the next 75 years, something that Republicans would never dare to ask a corporation to do.

  • Please complain to your TV stations about the airing of an attack ad
    A station that won't approve fraudulent advertisements for products should be at least as vigilant about misleading political advertisements. Political groups would be more responsible in framing their messages if they knew they had to pass a truth test to get them on the air.

  • Protect Wildlife Health In Colorado
    We need to protect the natural movement, daily and seasonal, of wildlife in the US, by removing unneeded fencing, and altering fencing that is unfriendly for wildlife movement on public lands and give incentives to do so on private lands. We also need to make corridors over and under roads so that motorists are safer as well. This can create jobs in rural America, bring tourism to many areas, and increase the health of heard populations, which can increase hunting licences, and bring more tourism dollars.

  • Lets put a stop to the Don't Say Gay bill!
    The Don't Say Gay bill would ban the discussions of LGBT issues and limit all sexually related instruction to "natural human reproductive science" in kindergarten through 8th grade. This bill will go to the TN. senate educational committee in a few weeks. The bill violates our first amendment rights, sends the wrong message to our kids and could jeopardize their safety!

  • Marriage Equality
    My petition is about everyone being allowed the same rights when it comes to marriage. The rest of the United States is coming around to marriage equality, so Louisiana should join. Love is Love, no matter if it is in a gay, lesbian, and straight relationship.

  • Incentivise Hiring the 99er's
    Create monetary incentives for companies that hire unemployment insurance exhaustees. The 99er's, as they are known, are trying desperately to survive and find jobs while having no income. They are not asking for a handout. They simply want to be restored to the work force.

  • Governor Brownback and the Poor
    The Governor's Budget includes proposals to lower taxes, but only those families who have incomes over $90,000 actually see reductions. All lower income families would see tax rate increases, making it even more difficult for these families to be financially independent.

  • Abuse Of Accessible Parking Spaces: Let's put a stop to it now!
    Abuse of accessible parking spaces is a growing problem. The use of handicapped parking spaces by individuals who aren't physically challanged is rampant all over the nation, despite the Americans with Disabilities Act and laws in place to stop parking in handicapped spaces so something else has to be done to stop this from happening. These parking spaces are for people who are physically challenged to ensure safe and equal access to goods and services. Physically challenged people have run out of places to park, as their designated accessible parking spaces because they are being taken by fraudulent people. Every state needs to enforce The Citizen Observer Program, it acts as an extra set of eyes and ears to help deputies keep the community safe while patrolling in the Sheriff’s office jurisdiction. The volunteers in this program patrol the community in Sheriff’s Office vehicles and report suspicious activities to deputies and issue traffic citations to motorist who illegally park in accessible parking spaces. Also, RFID transmitters should be enforced that way they are able to communicate with parking signs to authenticate registered handicap drivers. This way when someone with no tag or using a fake one pulls into a accessible parking space, a light will signal, this will stop the abuse of accessible parking spaces and spaces that are needed to lower van lifts. Van Accessible signs must be changed to "Wheelchair Loading Van". These signs and vehicle license tags and placecards, should also be color-cordinated to identify violators easier. Accessible Parking spaces that are showing International Accessible Parking signs on private property where the public is invited to enter and park, should also fall in the same Accessible parking laws as public property. Something else that should be enforced is the requiring of the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue placards with the holder's photo printed on the placard, strict enforcement of qualifications for physically challenged Placecard recipients where the only way that a placecard is issued is if proven to have total and permanent disability, substantially impairs his/her ability to walk, clarify and tighten the types of impairments that make people eligible for the placards and keep the metered free parking. We as a communitity mandate the same Accessible Parking laws in each state to protect the civil rights of people with physical challenges, who have serious mobility impairments needing these Accessible parking accomodations. As individuals with physical challenges, we have serious concerns about the number of Accessible Parking Placards being given out and the decisive factor used for the giving of these permits. A person with a physical challenge requires an accessible parking space because of its size (accessible parking spaces are larger than the standard parking space) and proximity to daily facilities. These accessible spaces provide vital access to community facilities and services, and support the participation of people with physical challenges .

  • Tell Bank of America no $25 Fees!
    The Wall Street Journal broke the story that Bank of America is getting ready to charge customers up to $25 a month for their checking account. But don’t worry – bank executives’ and their friends in the 1% will be exempt by keeping a large enough bank balance. American taxpayers gave Bank of America a $45 billion loan when it struggling 3 years ago, and this is how we get repaid? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/01/bank-of-america-fee_n_1312347.html?ref=business&ncid=edlinkusaolp00000008

  • Impeach Chief Federal Judge Richard Cebull
    Montana's chief federal judge Richard Cebull admitted on Wednesday (2/29/12) that he forwarded the following email comparing African-Americans to dogs and implying that President Barack Obama's mother had sex with animals. : "Normally I don't send or forward a lot of these, but even by my standards, it was a bit touching. I want all of my friends to feel what I felt when I read this. Hope it touches your heart like it did mine." A joke then follows: "A little boy said to his mother; 'Mommy, how come I'm black and you're white?' His mother replied, 'Don't even go there Barack! From what I can remember about that party, you're lucky you don't bark!'" Cebull forwarded the offensive email from his official court account to six "old buddies," who then forwarded to others, according to the the Great Falls Tribune.

  • Add The Words Idaho!
    This petition is about building support for amending the Idaho Human Rights Act to include LGBT people. People should sign it because currently LGBT people can be denied housing and employment and be otherwise discriminated against and that's not right.
