• Eric Bolling of Fox news: on air racist
    This petition is about the actions and choice of words that Mr Bolling holds towards African Americans. He has showed the uttermost disrespect for the life of Ms Whitney E. Houston, as she has recentlly passed away with his comment directed at Dem. Congress woman Ms Maxine Waters on February 16th 2012. (Eric Bolling) "how's this!... congress woman... you saw what happened to Whitney Houston.... step away from the crack pipe!...step away from the zanex... step away from the Lorazepam... it's gonna get you in trouble"~verbatim These words are detrimental and inexcusable. It shows a lack of dignity and thought. Many African Americans watch the Fox news channel and its affiliates. At the same time we should not have to be subjected to the blatant vulgar offensive type of language expressed through the mind of Mr Eric Bolling who is no more then referring to blacks as common drug addicts and "hoodlums"..... as he recently spoke of Brother President Obama "It's not the first time he's had a hoodlum in the hizzouse."~verbatim, referring to President Obama on hosting Gabonese President, Ali Bongo of Africa. He (Eric Bolling) should be removed from the Fox news organization as an anilyst for his actions is that of a child in grade school and not of a grown man in journalism. His "just kidding" remark on Congress woman Waters afterwords shows the lack of decency as his taste in judgement lacks moral in conforming to a standard of wrong behavior on the air for the public to see. This type of behavior should not be tollerated by Fox news and should relieve Mr Bolling from his duties with Fox corportation.

  • Our Community Needs The Casino
    I spoke to a Cherokee lady that was born in Cherokee, NC. She said the casino there has only benefited the community. She said it was a high poverty area and the casino has helped restore the area.

  • New soc sec cards eliminate voter suppression
    This petition would be to insure that so many Americans are not disenfranchised by all the new bills passed at the State level to reduce the chances for Democrats to win. (Students, the poor, the less-educated, the too busy , those who cannot take time off...) This will reduce voter suppression in many swing states.

  • Soldiers with PTSD
    Soldiers from Individual Ready Reserve were called to action in 2004 they were given 30 days before they had been scheduled for training and then sent to Iraq. Many soldiers are now feeling the effects of PTSD. The results of serving their country with Honor. My brother and many like him showed up after 30 days notice. My brother is now suffering from the effects of PTSD . My point is my brother was given 30 days to get ready for war why does it take the goverment 24 months to process his disability paper work. If compliance is required for soldiers it is reasonable to require the same of our Goverment.

  • Amazon: Stop selling Nazi themed products!
    Amazon is selling Nazi themed products through their site. These flags, buttons, and banners celebrate the murder of 12 million innocent people during WW 2. As a legitimate business Amazon needs to not promote these types of hate-filled products. http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B004CA9ZQO?tag=adapas02-20

  • for the people .... by the people
    I propose a new grassroots referendum or initiative or constitutional amendment to legally, physically seperate financial interests from the American legislative system. In short ..... the house and senate are to be populated with 'citizen legislators' who are primarily concerned with the business of the people, not the short term, non-patriotic concerns of profit-takers. Lobbyists would be banned from the halls of government and relegated to standing in line with the rest of us. Big Business/Big Money entities are extremely important to the American Economy and to our way of life, but their dominance of the legislature is contrary to the spirit of Democracy.

  • Stand Against Property Taxes
    Property taxes in York City, York, PA have become unreasonable. The Mayor, Council and School Board are bleeding us dry and causing people to loose their homes. The State Legislature used to fund 60% of the public school costs but they have abrogated their duties to the schools and refuse to tax entities that destroy our environment. It is the State Legislature's very mandates such as special education funding and charter schools that are at the very center of the current budget shortfall. At the same time the State refuses to uphold the State Constitutional requirement that they preserve and protect our natural resources and instead allow unfettered free-for-all access to any and all frackers. We the undersigned are standing as one to stop the continual increase in property taxes and the refusal by the State Legislature to fully fund our schools and eliminate school property taxes while protecting our environment and natural resources per the State Constitution. We are also standing against an out of control Mayor and City Council that continue to spend and fund projects even when they don't have the money or proper funding and instead rely on continual property tax increases and/or public debt. The principal limitations on whether and to what extent the state may interfere with property rights is set by the Constitution. The "Takings" clause requires that the government may take private property only for a public purpose, "after exercising due process of law, and upon making "just compensation." It does not allow for regulations that destroy value through taxation which has become so persistent and severe that they are akin to "regulatory takings."
