EVERY mandate in Maine was written by legislators in the past because an insurance company refused to cover an essential service. LD 882 is a bill that will eliminate dozens of mandated health insurance benefits, and jobs too. We must stop this bill in the House & Senate next week. To do this, we need you! Please make your voice heard by signing this petition (and contacting your state rep & senator this weekend) to stop legislation that only benefits insurance companies. For a full list of the Maine Mandated Health Insurance Benefits, visit: http://www.maine.gov/pfr/insurance/consumer/mandated_benefits.htm

SOPA is threatening the internet as we know it. Sites that support any form of file sharing such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and even joke websites such as FunnyJunk, MemeBase, and 9Gag will all be blacked out if SOPA is passed. SOPA will destroy the internet, not only for Americans, but for the world and for anyone on this planet with a computer. America doesn't own the internet, no one country does, and SOPA is arrogant to think that we can control a global research and networking device. If SOPA is passed, the world will suffer from it. We cant force our laws on the entire planet, let alone something as infinite and beautiful as the internet. Please don't let SOPA ruin the internet for the world. You have the power to stop them.

Ann Richards was a wonderful lady and a one of Texas's greatest Governors - and had a wicked sense of humor. It's time we honor this exceptional leader by renaming a roadway in Dallas, TX - preferably Northwest Highway, Central Expressway or the Dallas North Tollway.to the name. Governor Richards was a role model for young women (and actually so many of us, men included) - with quotes like "Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels", she made it clear that women were to be respected, in politics and beyond. PS - if another city in Texas would like to have a road named in her honor, please feel free to start another petition.

Fighting online piracy is important. The most effective way to shut down pirate websites is through targeted legislation that cuts off their funding. There’s no need to make American social networks, blogs and search engines censor the Internet or undermine the existing laws that have enabled the Web to thrive, creating millions of U.S. jobs. Too much is at stake – please vote NO on PIPA and SOPA.

We can end the death penalty in Connecticut! A recent study has proven Connecticut's death penalty is applied in a racist and arbitrary manner, is far more expensive than life imprisonment without the possibility of release, and risks executing the innocent. We can pass repeal THIS year--please sign this petition and then ask your friends to do the same.

This petition is for those in opposition of the SOPA and PIPA bill that the senate is considering passing. This bill is in direct violation of freedom of speech and the free information act. Please sign this petition and let your opinion be heard!
