NBC Universal Media say NO to Randall TerryRandall Terry's group is poised to buy advertising time on NBC's airing of the Super Bowl on Feb. 5, 2012. These 30 second spots will depict images of aborted fetuses which are disturbing and not fit for airing during what is a family-oriented sports event. Mr. Stephen B. Burke, CEO, of NBC Universal has the opportunity to prevent these reprehensible images that portray a 3rd trimester aborted fetus from being viewed by children. Randall Terry's group has furthered the hate messages against women and the LGBT community.

Stop SOPA From Destroying the InternetSOPA 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.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Carie Medders

Governor Ann Richards Memorial Highway in DallasAnn 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.1,141 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Patrick L. Boyd-Lloyd

Tell Congress: Don’t censor the WebFighting 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.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Zachary Cramer

We can pass repeal THIS year--please sign this petition and then ask your friends to do the same.3,206 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Colleen Cunningham

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
