1. Remove Handgun Caliber Restrictions in Australia 
For a decade now, handgun caliber restrictions and magazine restrictions have been in effect after a tragedy involving a high caliber handgun.
Sporting shooters are unable to use handguns with a caliber of more than .38 inch or 9mm unless they are involved in a specialized competition e.g. metallic silhouette which requires a high caliber handgun.
The law entitles sporting shooters to own high velocity, low caliber cartridges but not the lower velocity, high caliber cartridges with a larger projectile. Sport shooters are also limited to 10 rounds or less which creates a major disadvantage during competition shooting events.
The purpose of this petition is to remove unnecessary caliber restrictions and increase the maximum magazine capacity from 10 to 15 keeping public safety in mind.
Boycott Spin Magazine.
Boycott media bigots.
3. The US Needs a Hello Kitty Magazine

Airbrushing has led to a lot of damage and even psychological and eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia.
Please sign this petition because air brushing is inhumane and degrading to all people who suffer just to fit that perfect image.
Please help us take a stand and say stop!

I love suzuka it is a great anime very funny and sad , please make a season two it would be great !
Suzuka (涼風?) is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Kouji Seo. The series is a character-driven romance story that uses the athletics of track and field as a subplot. The story primarily follows the life of the teenager Yamato Akitsuki, who moved to Tokyo to change himself, and his main love interest Suzuka Asahina, a talented and highly scouted high jumper who lives in Yamato's aunt's dormitory and attends his new high school.
Suzuka was serialized in the Japanese magazine Weekly Shōnen Magazine published by Kodansha. It was adapted into a twenty-six episode anime series and aired on TV Tokyo in Japan between 6 July 2005 and 28 December 2005. Both versions of the series have been licensed for release in North America by two different companies. The manga has been licensed for publication by Del Rey Manga under their mature line. The anime series has been licensed and is being released by FUNimation Entertainment.
Suzuka has also made the transition into other media. A twenty-six episode anime directed by Hiroshi Fukutomi and co-produced by Studio Comet and Marvelous Entertainment ran from July through December 2005. The anime was later translated into English and released on DVD by Funimation Entertainment. Two light novels written by Ayuna Fujisaki based on the series have also been released.

9. Say No to Images of Naked Children in Art
Art Monthly magazine published an image of a six-year-old girl on its July cover to protest against the recent furore over similar pictures by artist Bill Henson.
Art Monthly editor Maurice O'Riordan said he hoped the edition would "validate nudity and childhood as subjects for art'' and restore some "dignity to the debate".
Dr Jolley, co-author of an article about Bill Henson in this month's Art Australia magazine, said the cover was deliberately provocative.
"It could be a provocation or it could be simply saying no we aren't going to preemptively buckle, we aren't going to let this small pressure group dictate what we can and can't show,'' he said. "We aren't going to let the tabloid media ... dictate what we can and can't show and we are not going to let politicians, who are always wanting to jump on populist bandwagons dictate what we can and can't show.''
This petition is to show to the government and the art world that it is the COMMUNITY who is saying NO to the use of naked images of children.

Inside Soap is a popular soap magazine in the UK.
Every year the magazine holds "The Inside Soap Awards 2007". Readers have the chance to vote. There is a party where the results are told. But they are never shown on TV, I think they should.

14. MR BUSH-PLEASE ALLOW OTHER COUNTRIES TO AID KATRINA SURVIVORS
MR BUSH PLEASE ALLOW OTHER COUNTRIES TO HELP US! CUBA HAS TONS OF MEDICINE IT WANTS TO SEND US AND OVER 1600 DOCTORS.
PLEASE ACCEPT ALL HELP AN ALLOW IT TO ARRIVE.
BERLIN, Sept 10 (Reuters) - A German air force plane loaded with 15 tonnes worth of ready-to-eat meals earmarked for flood victims in New Orleans was refused entry into the United States last week, a government spokesman said on Saturday.
Confirming a report in Der Spiegel news magazine, the spokesman said the Luftwaffe Airbus was loaded with 9,000 military "eimannpackung" ("one-man packages") but was grounded in Germany because it did not get U.S. flight clearance.
The spokesman said he did not know the reason for the decision by U.S. authorities. He said the refusal to allow German aid had since been lifted.
Der Spiegel news magazine reported that U.S. authorities had blocked the import of German military rations that contained hamburgers, goulash, sausages, pasta and jam due to fears of mad cow disease, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE).
The magazine reported that relief flights from Britain and Russia were also denied entry for the same reason.
15. JUST A GLIMPSE OF INME'S PACKAGE (Abolish InMe's clothing)
As major InMe fans of both the music and the band themselves, it has come to our attention that InMe NEVER take any garment of clothing off in live shows, no matter how sweaty they get. The only time any of the three have taken anything off was when Joe Morgan posed topless in a gay magazine, oh great, so GAY MEN get the pleasure of joe's half-nakedness but the loyal inme fans, female, gay, and bi alike get nothing... unless of course we bought the magazine... which is easier for the gay and bi boys!
Of course we have other, selfless reasons for wanting to get inme topless/completely naked, following the interests of the band and NOT us at all:
-Health and Safety Reasons; What if their clothing were to cet caught and a fire broke out and they got trapped on stage, bound by their clothing, burning alive while everyone runs to escape their doom? what if they get a wedgie? my god they hurt. Imagine the embarassment of having to pull your underwear out of your crack in front of a hunfdred of your fans. They may also overheat in those clothes, and what if they got thrown out for some inexplicable reason? and they were all sweaty and it was cold? they would catch nemonia... and er.... the wet shirt would make it worse o_O
-It would be good for promotion; Some people only like inme for their looks, and hate the music, but I'm sure if they were to get rid of that clothing alot more fans would come, and it woulkd be in many magazines, winning inme some more fans.
-There are rumours of Dave being big-headed; Sharing would prove that he isn't. So share your body with us Dave! (c'mon greg does it)
There are many more reasons, but these, we feel are the most important, due to the lack of nakedness in the past, we would appreciate 1 naked tour, or 3 naked gigs as a minimum... London, Birmingham and Manchester. Or, if you insist, 3 tours of them topless, or a topless video, on an enhanced CD where we can watch it on our computers whenever we want.
Some people are taking this too seriously. Get a sense of humour please.
16. Get Kelly Clarkson on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine
Kelly Clarkson not only won the hearts of millions when she won the first season of the hit TV show American Idol but she has managed to turn her TV fame into a successful career in the music industry.
Kelly's first single from Idol "A Moment Like This", released in 2002, managed to hit #1 on the US and Canadian charts. Kelly followed up her "A Moment Like This" success with her first album, Thankful. Thankful, when released in 2003, hit #1 on the US charts and sent out three popular singles "Miss Independent", "Low", and "The Trouble With Love Is".
To date Thankful has gone double platinum and sold 2.2 million copies. Kelly's second studio album, Breakaway, has done even better. Since it's release in November of 2004 the album has had three smash singles. "Breakaway", which debuted on the Princess Diaries two soundtrack, has hit #1 on the American Top 40 chart. Breakaway's second single "Since U Been Gone" hit #1 on the Adult Contemporary charts and has managed to hit #6 on the UK charts.
The newest single "Behind These Hazel Eyes" peaked at #6 on the American single charts. Breakaway has become one of the top five albums of 2005 and has to date gone triple platinum and sold more than 2.6 millions copies.
Kelly also holds the record of being the first solo artist to hold #1 positions on two US Billboard charts simultaneously with two different singles. Not only has Clarkson managed to gain American fame she also recently released Breakaway overseas in the United Kingdom where it hit #7 on the midweek flashes.
Kelly has accomplished a lot since her Idol win back in 2002, that is why we (the people below) believe she should be allowed to grace the cover of Rolling Stone.
This petition's purpose is to get an All WWE Divas edition of Playboy magazine.

20. Save D.I.Y. for all independent musicians
Recent revelations about the review policies of certain self-proclaimed 'D.I.Y.' punk magazines including, but at this point not limited to, Maximum RocknRoll (MRR), have forced me to write this: a call to arms of sorts, a good ol' fashioned letter writing campaign. For those of you with short attention spans, here is the gist: MRR has a racist and classist review policy, two ideologies they supposedly fight so vehemently against. But inherent in their own magazine are these elitist policies, and whether they are intentional or not is not for us to say; that will be on their own conscience.
Suffice it to say that it is this policy that is keeping the true spirit of D.I.Y. music squelched (or at least somewhere near the back). D.I.Y. musicians must now assume the role of today's Rosa Parks, and stand up! ..And then sit down again, in the front. If you haven't read our "Save D.I.Y" essay at http://www.perplexagon.com, please feel free to do so. {You can download it here in PDF or DOC format).
It may be long, but I believe it is in every independent musician's best interest to read it. However, if the above words were enough to fan the flames of institutional change within you, then skip the essay, read the following statement to MMR, and click the "Sign the Petition" link below. Remember to tell your friends and anyone else you think may have a credible interest in maintaining true independent music, whether it's punk rock, indie rock, prog rock, rock rock, rap, whatever. This petition is for every artist that chooses to record and produce their own music.
