I would like to see a petition on banning assault rifles and automatic weapons. I think the petition would gain the support of most law enforcement agencies.

If you have ever learned something from a teacher, a tutor, or anyone at any school, then please say thank you to them by asking our leaders to better fund the people and institutions that promote education. Education is the key we the people require to get America back on track!

Cricket communications works hard to get new customers with a cheap alternative to phone service but if you raise questions as to why you are not receiving the service promised you will get disconnected, bullied and overcharged.If you are tired of getting bulldozed by these companies who over charge , sell expensive phone with the promise of monthly charges that are lower than other companies all along not receiving the service you are paying for yet still having to deal with the added aggravation of having to move companies when they unequivocally refuse to take care of their clients then its time to show the executives that we are the people that have made them millions and we will not be discarded so easily..We expect the service promised and paid for and if the company is unable to , then we expect a refund of the equipment purchased ect.

The Michigan Health Exchange will affect our healthcare for generations. Senate Bill 693 is a "Clearinghouse - Non-Profit" health exchange design that would forbid the exchange from negotiating better health insurance rates for us and the exchange would be owned by a private company and benefit insurance companies. An "Active Purchaser - Quasi Governmental or State Run" health exchange design would be owned and controlled by us, and individuals and businesses could be combined into a large group. The exchange could then negotiate better rates for us, lowering the cost of healthcare. This type of health exchange would benefit the businesses and people of Michigan.

Georgia General assembly is poised to pass a bill to require mandatory free labor from anyone who file for unemployment benefit. Senate Bill 294 is shamelessly named as " Dignity for the Unemployed Act", which will require you to do free work if you loose your job for no fault of your own, including layoff, reduction of hours or if you lost job due to business closed.

I no longer will accept Viacom as producers of my media and I am implimenting this petition for others to see the ignorance BET passes on African Americans. How are you helping black people advance watching shows that see you as consumers, the programs that are the most essential are minimal at best. BET needs to raise the bar to a level that represents our standard or they got to go! Just That simple. When you dont chose, the choices are made for you is called hegemony. This is a preponderant influence of mind control, because we are a people but they look at us as consumers. This boycott will have an agenda beyond new TV shows. Til I get ten people and they each get ten people who can make a force called WILL. I WILL STAY ON MY SQUARE AT THE READY . THANK YOU.

"NEWARK, NJ Elnardo Webster has stated that he will petition the courts to cease an investigation in to the Newark Watershed, using tax payors monies. We are asking you to sign this petition, for our voices will not be silenced by our dollars. Overspending and Underaccountabilty has to stop!"

Corporations are melting our democracy faster than Global Warming is melting the remainder of ice in this world! Its time to take the power away from the corporations!

I am being evicted from public housing because my son and daughter have not completed their community service. I pay $968 a month for rent and I'm being evicted. I have no extra money to move right now. I live from pay check to pay check. Don't get me wrong I am furious with my son for not completing it and I already forwarned him he would have to move if it comes to me being evicted. So he will be moving to Alabama with his dad. My daughter did make up most of her hours last year and then misplaced her paperwork. I can't put her out because she has a 2 yr old. I can't believe you can be put out for this. I rented this house not my kids and I pay my rent every month and their are a lot of problems with my house that have not been addressed but they get my rent every month.
