• Reject mandatory government-issued photo in order to vote
    Tennessee Voters will be required this year (2012) to have a government issued photo ID in order to vote. This will cause a serious impediment for many people and disenfranchise them, particularly the elderly, the disabled, rural and low income voters, not to mention people of color and college students of other states re presidential elections. This amounts to a poll tax, having had to show a proterty deed in order to vote.

  • STOP BANK FORECLOSURES ON AMERCIAN
    Last week, Attorney General Kamala Harris announced that California would withdraw from multi-state negotiations with some of the nation’s largest banks to reach a settlement on their foreclosure practices. And in a conference call she held earlier this week with various ethnic media outlets, including Univision and Black Voice News, Harris outlined a separate plan that will combine litigation, public education, and legislation to fundamentally reform how banks do business in an effort to prevent further foreclosure in the state.

  • Recycling Bins In Birmingham
    Having visited other major cities in the UK I have noticed a number of multi-use bins which provide separate containers for different types of waste that would reduce the amount of waste Birmingham has to send to landfill and would dramatically increase the amount of recycling.

  • Broadcast Service
    In the last year we have seen big business take over the airwaves. I want the stations to restore the level of Broadcase service back to where it was before the big move to put HD TV everywhere. Stations should have been required to maintain levels of service and broadcasting. Many consumers do not receive signals from major stations.

  • Corporations ARE NOT people!
    The decision the Supreme Court made allowing corporations to have more rights than individual people concerning the amount of political donations is is hurting the political process. This decision needs to be reversed.

  • Service animals and AA Clubs.
    I'm refused to AA meetings in a building that doesn't allow animals. (dogs especially) I've been an upstanding member of "The A Club" on Missouri St, New Port Richey. I'm hearing impaired and am by law, both Florida Statutes and ADA. We passed our AKC Good Citizen Award, and are learning signal and allert. I want to at least contiue going to AA meetings there, I don't need to be a member of the bootleg cult that rents AA there meetings.

  • Constitution Amendment to Fix Congress
    Congress has gone too far by putting itself above the people, is corrupt and disfunctional. America needs a constitutional amendment to bring congress back to the people.

  • STOP PLAN TO ALLOW KILLING OF GOLDEN EAGLES
    The federal government is proposing to grant a first-of-its-kind permit that would allow the developer of a central Oregon wind-power project to legally kill golden eagles. Don't allow the greed of big business to legalize the death of these magnificent national treasures.

  • It's Our Money and We Want it now!!
    This petition is about the mortgage mess. I want the Federal government to make the big banks use the money provided to modify for good the unscrupulous loan products those banks "sold" to hard-working, able americans who fell prey to the collapse of the economy. The architects of the housing collapse should be punished. We bailed them out. Now, they are holding us hostage. It's our money and we want it now!!

  • underwater
    I would like to start a petition for home owners whose home values have dropped below their purchase price and who are not able to refinance due to new regulations of huge lending corporations which already have been bailed out by the government at least once and which are not only in my opinion criminal organisations. I would like to suggest to all home owners who are "under water" to stop paying mortgage payments countrywide. Nothing else is done for people who are left in this situation by anybody.

  • Eliminate No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB)
    Every American student (except for 3% with serious handicaps or other issues) is supposed to be achieving on grade level every year, climbing in lockstep up an ever more challenging ladder. This flies in the face of research showing that children start off in different places academically and grows at different rates.
