Limit the LobbyistsIf we cannot forbid lobbying, we must demand laws that limit lobbyists to their salesman roll. They can sell their goods but the lobbyists or the company or organization they represent cannot pass along bribes to our political leaders in any form. We must demand that this be considered bribery and punishable with very harsh prison terms to the lobbyist and CEO of the organization or company that he represents.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Demers

Fix Florida's Foreclosure FiascoFlorida is in the midst of a foreclosure crisis. Compounding that is the vast mortgage fraud being perpetrated by robosigning and the lack of any clear path of ownership of the mortgage. To speed the clearance of foreclosures and heal the housing market, we need to enact legislation that will help clear the market while maintaining the rights of individuals. Please consider the following text of such legislation: Upon the filing of a foreclosure notice to the appropriate Florida County Clerk of Courts the Mortgagor (lender) will, within 30 days, file with the appropriate Florida County Clerk of Courts, the original signed Mortgage on the subject property. In absence of such an original signed Mortgage, filed in accordance with this provision, the appropriate Florida County Clerk of Courts will issue and record a satisfaction of lien for the subject property to the mortgagee. A fee of $50 will be paid by the Mortgagor upon filing the foreclosure notice to the appropriate Florida County Clerk of Courts.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Wesley Johnson

Deaf Civil RightsThis petition is designed to express the concerns of Deaf persons in the Deaf community. What is of major concern is the way we have been treated by the majority in society. Specifically, there has been little - if any - input sought from Deaf persons concerning the use of cochlear implants. These devices have been used without the input of persons who are Deaf or who have an interest in the Deaf community. As a result, the rights of persons who are deaf have been infringed upon by the actions stemming from the prejudice and unverified assumptions of the cochlear implant industry. This is a violation of civil rights in the medical and/or surgical implementation of unfounded procedures. We need to stop implanting any children or Deaf children; that's what the whole issue is about. If you share this concern please sign below. Any comments are welcomed with no neutral comments, please. Deaf persons - especially Deaf children need to have their civil rights respected. The infringement of the rights of Deaf persons - especially Deaf children needs to stop. This includes a full recognizing the use of the use of American Sign Language or their language. It will go to Deaf Civil Right March for them to see how many Deaf persons sign it up for this petition; that might help, too. TIME FOR US TO HAVE OUR DEAF CIVIL RIGHTS and DEAF HUMAN RIGHTS for Deaf Diversity of all ages!!!!!1,587 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Diane White
