Permanent Voting Rights for ALLVoter suppression laws have been implemented by the Republican Party in many states, especially here in Georgia. After all of the blood, sweat, and tears shed by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights pioneers, we DO NOT want those rights to be taken away! Please sign this petition and urge the U.S. Senate and U. S. Congress to ensure that all American citizens will have the PERMANENT right to vote by making additions to the verbiage in the 15th Amendment and Voting Rights Act. Resources: Library of Congress.

Congress: Remove Supreme Court jurisdiction over election financing.The Supreme Court has taken a hard turn in favor of the 1% being able to buy elections. The Congress can override this trend, in favor of real democracy, and return power to the 99% at the ballot box. This power of Congress is already in the Constitution. A constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United is not needed.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dennis D'Asaro

Stop Cricket communications from bad service and bulling practicesCricket 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.79 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Barbara

The Michigan Health ExchangeThe 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.136 of 200 SignaturesCreated by David Wamsley

Georgia Legislatures- Don't Ask Georgians for free laborGeorgia 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.34 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bikram Mohanty

BEAUTIFUL EVOLVING THINKERS!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.49 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Zibijah ElBrown
