Free Republic

Dear South Carolina Freepers. I've got a few questions about the voting laws in your state. 1. What is the deadline to change party affiliation in your state (how many days before an election)? 2. Does SC have a ballot petition process? 3. Has there been any interest in having a ballot petition to change the primary laws from "open" to "closed"?

KILL IT, STARVE IT TO DEATH!!

On October 1st, millions of Americans will be required to enroll in Obamacare and could lose access to their doctors and be forced to pay higher premiums and higher taxes. But there's still time to stop it. Republicans in Congress can stop Obamacare if they refuse to fund it. Sign the petition and tell Congress: Don't Fund Obamacare!

I’ve called it what it is and will continue to call abortion murder, whether it’s inside the womb or outside the womb. Now video has emerged showing George Mason University students (Yes, I’m sure Walter E. Williams is having a fit right now) signing a petition to legalize abortion after birth. According to the petition, which was signed on Wednesday demanded that lawmakers legalize “fourth trimester” abortions. In other words, they want to fully legalize the murder of a child that has been born. According to Campus Reform: The petition, which was circulated on GMU’s flagship campus in Fairfax, VA.,...

Months after the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, critical questions still remain unanswered: Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Virginia) has introduced a congressional resolution, H. Res. 36, calling for the establishment of a special Congressional committee to investigate the Benghazi attack and the Obama administration’s handling of it in the weeks that followed. It’s an opportunity for a comprehensive investigation that connects all the dots, and holds people accountable. Over 120 Members of Congress have co-sponsored H. Res. 36. If your representative is not one of them, please take a moment to encourage him/her to do so.

A tea party group that launched a petition drive to prosecute U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder reported on its Facebook page that nearly 1 million have signed on — and the movement is only growing by the minute. The petition from TheTeaParty.net states, in part: “A person is supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. That’s not the case, however, in Obama’s America when he needs to manipulate the people for his own political expediency. Who can he always rely on to be his hatchet man? None other than Attorney General Eric Holder. Do you stand with us in calling...

Ring Your Bell for Freedom--Facebook Independence Day Update     I'm done; my personal Facebook page should be gone. I'm still on Twitter, but only professionally. I also retained a Facebook presence as an author, but will not use it personally. In the process of attempting to remove my personal accounts, I found out that you can only deactivate, not delete, a Facebook account from your settings. Facebook forces you to enter a reason why you are deactivating. In the box where they required this, I simply wrote that they shouldn't be asking for this, and this was accepted as a "reason."...

Also as a minor, I am not allowed to know the entirety of the Judge's descion. My name is Andrew Koch and I am 17 years old. I have been homeschooled all my life. I have lived in five states and have traveled the country. I love life and I love the gifts God has given me. Homeschooling is probably one of the greatest gifts in my life. It enabled me to go and learn various skills at a young age and test my abilities. I came from a somewhat Christian environment. In 2011, my father filed for divorce.My world was...

Maryland's new gun control law, signed in May by Gov. Martin O'Malley, has survived its first challenge. Organizers of a petition drive to get the law onto the ballot in 2014 failed to turn in any signatures by Friday night's deadline, said Steve Ackerman of the Office of the Secretary of State. A referendum would have kept the law from going into effect on Oct. 1. To get one, opponents would have had to submit roughly 18,600 signatures. While the National Rifle Association is still expected to battle the law in court, gun control groups celebrated news that the petition...

Try Senator Dianne Feinstein in a Federal Court For Treason To The Constitution The Constitution was written to restrain the government. No amendment is more important for this purpose than the 2nd amendment. The 2nd amendment was written so the power could be kept with the citizenry in the face of a tyrannical government. It was well understood the Constitution acknowledged certain rights that could not be limited by government. Senator Dianne Feinstein has made it clear she does not believe in the Constitution or the inalienable rights of Americans to keep and bear arms. She is actively working to...

WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO: Remove Eric Holder from office, prosecute for 1st amendment violations on the illegal spying on members of the media. Eric Holder illegally spied on members of the press without knowledge and without a subpoena. This violates the constitution's first amendment and fourth amendment. He needs to be removed from office and formally charged and tried for the crimes listed above.

Important petition to sign, FREEP IT!!!SAY NO TO THE GANG OF EIGHT!!

I signed the petition today.I signed it, not to show support for an obviously-guilty Islamic terror bomber, but to log a very Alinsky-ite ridiculing of this chicks position, and anyone else who signs it.Here is my comment, viewable at the link (you must click 'latest' comments: Authorities: "We have proof that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev committed these bombings." Change.Org: "No you don't." Authorities: "We have several videotapes of him planting bombs." Change.Org: "Faked." Authorities: "We have receipts in his pants pocket for all the bombing supplies." Change.Org: "You put them there." Authorities: "He has burn and schrapnel wounds from the bombs." Change.Org:...

Uganda's Pastor Umar Mulinde had the incredible courage to convert from Islam to Christianity, and even to become a Christian minister, well knowing the mortal risk he was taking. Islam prescribes the death penalty for apostates, those who leave Islam. This is how Islam has conquered peoples and maintained its position: through the sword, waging war against infidels and beheading apostates. If there were no death penalty for apostasy, there would be no Islam. This is what cleric and prominent leader of the (now the West's ally) Muslim Brotherhood Yusuf al-Qaradawi says, on video: "If they left apostasy (rida)...

On January 26, 2013, the Librarian of Congress issued a ruling that made it illegal to unlock new phones. Unlocking is a technique to alter the settings on your phone to use your phone on a different carrier. Doing so could place you in legal liability for up to 5 years in jail and a $500,000 fine (specifically the Librarian of Congress allowed the existing exception to lapse). This prohibition is a violation of our property rights, and it makes you wonder, if you can’t alter the settings on your phone, do you even own your own phone? The ruling...

When someone says “First Amendment” you immediately think about your right to free speech, or perhaps freedom of religion. The First Amendment actually goes beyond that. For those of you who attended government schools, it’s time for a refresher. Here’s the actual wording: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Most people have a handle on the free speech, freedom of religion...

Paul Shawcross, Chief of the Science and Space Branch at the White House Office of Management and Budget, has officially responded to a November petition requesting that the United Sates government construct a Death Star by 2016. Shawcross stated that the White House would not be pursuing any Death Star construction projects, citing critical design failures: “Why should we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?” The Obama administration also claims that the Death Star proposal would conflict with their core policies, saying, “The Administration does not...

Start immediate investigation of Barack Obama's use of forged IDs and a CT SSN which was never assigned to him according to e-verify -- 19,362 Letters and Emails Sent So Far. On April 15, 2010 Obama posted his 2009 tax returns on line. He forgot to flatten the PDF file and his full unredacted Social Security number xxx-xx-4425 became known to the public. This number immediately raised suspicions of Attorney Orly Taitz, as it started with 042, a digit combination which was assigned to the state of CT and Obama was never a resident of CT. E-verify and SSNVS showed...

Please sign the White House petition that will outlaw crime. Absurd? About as absurd as passing even more gun laws to stop crime.

Yesterday we reported on only two Republican state Senators here in New York having the courage to stand up against Governor Cuomo's political gun grab legislation. One of those Senators, Kathy Marchione, had started a petition on her website in an attempt to demonstrate "strong public support for preserving our Constitutional freedoms". The support is indeed strong, with reports indicating that signatures are being placed on the petition at a clip of over 1,300 per hour. Since yesterday, the petition - found here - has received over 40,000 signatures in total. Marchione posted this on Facebook earlier this afternoon: "40,402....
