A new petition has been started to have the White House correct a wrong assumption about the Second Amendment on its website. The website says: "The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to bear arms." The petition asks the White House to correct the mistake and to acknowledge the reality of how the Second Amendment was created, and why. The petition is here. The reality is the right to keep and bear arms was acknowledged and widely accepted to be in existence long before the Second Amendment. What the government can grant, the government can take. The Second Amendment...

California voters recalled Gov. Gray Davis on Tuesday and replaced him with actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, bringing an end to a remarkable campaign that featured one of the planet's best-known entertainers and captivated an international audience. "I will not fail you, I will not disappoint you, and I will not let you down," the Republican Schwarzenegger vowed after receiving a phone call from Davis conceding the race. The Democratic incumbent became the first California governor pried from office, and only the second nationwide to be recalled. Davis was elected to a second term just 11 months ago with less than 50...

Sign This New White House Petition for DOJ to Investigate Obama’s Forged ID Documents. Obama's key identity documents are forgeries or stolen. Sheriff Arpaio of AZ investigated them and proved the long form birth certificate PDF file and the draft registration card are forgeries. Obama is using an SSN which was initially issued to a person born in 1890 who was living in CT when it was issued in the mid 1970s, a state that Obama never lived in. It is time that federal investigative agencies look into these forged and stolen ID documents.

Thursday, after U.S. Attorney General William Barr released Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Trump-Russia investigation report, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) said Barr must resign and urged Americans to sign an online petition demanding Barr's resignation. “AG Barr must resign,” Swalwell said in a tweet promoting the petition: “AG Barr must resign. You can represent the people OR you can represent the President, but you can’t do both. Sign our petition to demand Barr resign."

“A public debate on the merits of a measure can reveal its flaws,” the Bismarck Tribune calmly and reasonably editorialized recently, adding, “and then we have to trust voters to do the right thing.”“Why are some legislators so afraid to allow North Dakota voters to decide what is in their constitution?” asked an earlier editorial in the Fargo Forum. Legislation to make citizen petitions far more difficult abounds in North Dakota, this being the winter of legislators’ discontent, because the mighty solons did not like an ethics measure that voters nevertheless passed in a close contest last fall. Personally, I would have...

How can I petition every state, but particularly New Jersey, with this request: Following the lead of the Catholic Church, I would like to ask the State of New Jersey to release a list of all public school teachers and administrators and school employees in every school district in New Jersey since 1930 that have molested a child, including the nature of the offense and whatever discipline was taken. I would also like to ask the State of New Jersey to adopt the SAME zero tolerance policy as the Catholic Church and immediately FIRE any teacher or administrator or school...

Appearing with Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) said most Americans want a safer community and a secure border. He announced that Republicans have just launched a petition drive in support of the border wall. "We've opened up borderwallnow.com, where we're encouraging grass roots across the country -- just started today -- where they go in and sign a petition and say we are standing with the president, we want border security."

The great state of Washington, through fraudulent petitioning and tricky wording, has placed on the ballot and passed I-1639; one of the strictest anti-gun laws in our country. We The People therefor ask that our great President and our public servants, step in and abolish such laws restricting, infringing upon and/or otherwise limiting our right, that has been guaranteed to us within the 2nd amendment of the Bill of Rights, and further protected and solidified through centuries of bloodshed and legal proceedings. We The People humbly and gracefully plead for your helping hand Mr. President. Please put an end to...

CNN reporter Jim Acosta and Infowars publisher Alex Jones could both lob questions at President Trump’s press secretary if petitioners succeed in an effort pending on the White House website. A publicly-created petition recently posted on the “We the People” section of the official White House site calls on the Trump administration to grant press credentials to the right-wing Infowars publisher and assign him a seat him alongside CNN’s chief White House correspondent. “Alex Jones‘ first amendment rights are being violated everyday he does not have White House press credentials,” wrote the petition’s creator. “Let Alex Jones have press credentials...

Alex Jones’ first amendment rights are being violated everyday he does not have White House press credentials. THIS IS AMERICA! Let Alex Jones have press credentials and a permanent seat next to Jim Acosta!

1LT Lorance led US Soldiers in Zhari, Afghanistan – the Taliban’s birthplace where dozens of US Soldiers have been killed & maimed. Three Taliban, on a motorcycle, were speeding toward Clint’s platoon. A Soldier fired at them, but missed. Clint instantly ordered another Soldier to fire. Two of the three Taliban were killed. Clint protected his men, consistent with the ROEs. However, the Army sentenced him to 20 years in prison for “double murder & attempted murder” claiming he killed innocent civilians. Fingerprints and DNA have proven they were NOT innocent civilians but, Taliban. Additionally, an Army report noted Clint’s...

Kathryn Jean Lopez I wanted to make sure you saw the letter that some women who love the Catholic Church and her teachings organized put online yesterday. Since midday yesterday, it’s gathered about 15,000 [now over 25,000] signatures and counting. The goal of it is to get it to the Holy Father as a plea to help us in trying to know what went wrong so that we can get things right. In reads, in part: We are Catholic women deeply committed to our faith and profoundly grateful for Church teachings, the Sacraments, and the many good bishops and priests...

It is where political campaigns are fought and won, where journalism is created and distributed, and where grassroots movements are born. Yet, the free and open internet has become a controlled, censored space, monopolized by a few unaccountable corporations. By banning users from their platforms, those corporations can effectively remove politically unwelcome Americans from the public square....

Full Title: Unredacted declassification of the Department of Justice Inspector General report for public viewing Citizens of the United States of America deserve a transparent look into the 'Russian Collusion' investigation, as well as the 'Clinton Email Scandal' due to the Department of Justice's un-willingness to provide the House of Representatives with an unredacted copy of the Inspector General's report. This petition serves in the best interest of all citizens of the United States of America so we may ensure the Government and its affiliates (FBI, CIA, DOJ) are adhering to the public's best interests in which they represent. Governments...

The old style gasoline cans with the separate spout and vent worked fine. You could fill your lawnmower without spilling a drop. About ten years ago, the EPA mandated the new "environmentally friendly" gas cans. It is almost impossible to fill your lawnmower using these without spilling gasoline everywhere, including on the hot engine. I'll bet the new rule came from someone who never even cut their own lawn. How does spilling gasoline all over help the environment, your safety and your wallet? Bring back the old style cans!

Not sure if I have posted in the right area, but this is the first time I have signed one of these. Farmers in South Africa are being brutally slaughtered, with their family member being mutilated by death squads. Now the South African government has voted to seize their farms. While South Africa will shortly turn into a Haiti or Zimbabwe, we can do something for the farmers. If you are willing, please sign. immigration-priority-south-african-farmers-facing-systematic-land-confiscations-and-murder From Petition: "We the People call upon Congress to apply immigration priority to the South African Farmers facing systematic land confiscation and murder by their...

While Sen. Orrin Hatch expressed his ‘shock’ Monday that most of his Democratic colleagues could vote against the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, it wasn’t just Democrats who opposed the measure. Two Republican senators joined Democrats in voting against the 20-week abortion ban: Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine. Meanwhile, Sens. Joe Donnelly of Indiana, Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Bob Casey of Pennsylvania—all Democrats—voted in favor of the ban on abortions at the point which unborn babies can feel pain, with certain exceptions such as rape, incest and to save the mother’s life. With...

As a taxpayer subsidized organization, the National Football League (NFL) and its members should not be permitted to publicly insult veterans, first responders, families of those who have sacrificed their lives for this country, and any patriotic American with its public displays of sitting, kneeling, exercising or other disrespectful behavior during the performance of our national anthem or flag ceremonies. We the people petition the Federal Government and the United States Air Force to abstain from providing the traditional "flyover" aerobatic display performed during the opening ceremonies of the NFL Superbowl, beginning immediately, until representatives of the NFL publicly apologize...

Do you think it would be a good idea to move forward with my petition to remove the Flyover at the NFL Superbowl? With the current behavior and attitude from this organization, I think it is an insult to have our Air Force honor the NFL. Your feedback is appreciated.
