Give to President Putin the Nobel Peace Prize Mr. Obama was given in 2009. Whereas Mr. Obama made a sincere commitment to starting a war with Syria, engaging our military in unwanted conflict, and doing so without the support of his people we resolve that Mr. Obama should deliver the Nobel Peace prize given to him in 2009 to a man of Peace, the President of Russia, Mr. Putin. Where as Mr. Putin enabled the United States to avoid an unwanted and unwarranted military action he has brought us to the "brink" of peace.

We, the undersigned, call on Congress to pass and the President to sign into law a one-year timeout on the President's health reform bill. Some people want the health care law repealed, some want it fixed or expanded, and some want it implemented just as it was written. But all of us agree that the law is not ready for prime time. Already there have been politically selective waivers, exemptions, and delays of parts of this law; in fact, half of the legal deadlines have not been met. Unions are being forced to seek waivers or face changing their current...

Democrat acting like a democrat!!

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...
