Overturn Citizens UnitedCitizens United was the US Supreme Court's ruling that says corporations have the same rights as people. This means corporations can contribute as much money as they wish to elected officials and causes. This means that corporations have more power than people. This ruling is a direct threat to the future of our democracy.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by A Felix

Full Federal Recognition for the Lumbee Tribe of North CarolinaThe Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina was given full state recognition in 1885 and in 1956 by the United States Congress, but Congress withheld the full benefits of federal recognition from the tribe. Congress can correct this injustice by bringing the Lumbee Recognition Act which passed out of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee to the floor for a full vote and passage by the Senate and the House of Representatives. We are calling on the United States Congress to correct this injustice and bring closure to the 125 year pursuit of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina for Full Federal Recognition.2,570 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Tryon Delton Lowry, Jr.

PROPERTY TAXESThe present property tax concept is not fair because the local tax burden is not the same for every body. Our State Constitution stipulates that a taxpayer class, such as property taxes, shall have the same tax burden. But our present property tax concept does not follow the intent of our State Constitution134 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Juris Curiskis
