31. Outlaw Outsourcing or Tax Companies that Outsource 
Unemployment is an issue that needs to be addressed quickly. With each passing day that this situation continues, thousands of laid-off workers around run out of state and federal benefits. There are simply not enough jobs with the amount of available workers there are and this is a serious problem for many families.
The ‘real’ unemployment rate is 17.5% (.4% more than what it was in December of 1962) which includes both the unemployed and underemployed. The amount of people that want to work but cannot find a job is more than five times the level early this decade and the highest unemployment level since the Great Depression. Even having enough money to take classes to study for a new career is proving difficult for many Americans. Ironically, many jobs are being denied to many graduates because they are overqualified. What will happen to the younger generations? The older generations? How much longer can we wait, Mr. President?
Most of this mess that we are in right now could be avoided if American companies would provide their jobs to American workers and not outsource them.
32. USA Recovery Act
What if all The citizens that risked their life savings bailing out the banks and auto industry, received a USA Recovery Dividend.
How much do you think your dividend would be if:
1. The citizens of the USA would have received a
check to stimulate the economy instead of the
banks and auto industry.
2. Each and Every Citizen Received a dividend
from the profits of risking are financial future.
* Keeping in mind that the Financial Institutions paid
back $20,000,...... in less than how many month.
Every year men are killed in action for no reason. And worse still is that the government once upon a time stated that they would pull our troops out and yet we are sending more in. Why? When there are men being killed and severely wounded.
This year already 94 men have died and for no reason other that the fact that they are there and driving around in unsafe trucks and don't have the proper protection. Just pull them out like the government said they would and stop the death.
Support Our Troops
34. ESPN to have coverage of Mexico vs USA at Azteca August 12!
On August 12, ESPN will broadcast a Special previewing Mexico vs USA qualifier at Azteca. But won't be airing the game itself. Instead it will air NFL Live and Jim Rome is Burning. Jim Rome can wait and the NFL season has not even started yet! Though Telemundo networks will air the game live, some people prefer to watch the game in English.
Though Mun2 (Telemundo network) will air the game in English, not everyone has Mun2 due to the fact you must have a Digital Cable or Satellite provider and order it. Please ESPN, air the game instead of other programs!
35. Save our Michael Scofield!
In 2005 "FOX" started to air the series "Prison Break". For a lot of fans "Michael Scofield" became the hero. Besides the audience liked Michael´s relationship with Sara. They even called it "MiSa" for Michael and Sara. All fans hoped for a happy end.
They made videos with Sara and Michael and opened internet pages to talk about "MiSa". But in the series finale the disaster happened. Michael Scofield died.
Now all "MiSa" and Michael-fans are sad and disappointed. So a lot of fans try to save their beloved Michael:

36. Getting Anime/Japanese Games in the USA and other countries
Ok I think it's very unfair that the Japanese video game companies make certain Anime games for them only and not sale them to the USA or any other countries. I know most Japanese companies don't think that Anime games will sale well in the USA or other countries but that's not the case, I for one would love to buy anime games if they were sold here.
My main point overall is that America and other countries should get these games too, It's not fair that only the Japanese get it. Also they don't have to change the Voices, it can still be in Japanese but put English subtitles in them.
37. DELUHI USA Tour!
The ever amazing DELUHI has been dropping jaws & banging heads of fans around the world. With the online radio JShoxx giving the band major exposure overseas, the demand to see the band is high. With that said, American fans want to see DELUHI play.
With the help of JShoxx, we would truly love to see our heroes play in front of us instead of on a screen.
To the fans: let's show DELUHI that we truly want them here!!
38. Seek Justice for Beating Death of Mexican Immigrant
Luis Ramirez, a 25-year-old Mexican immigrant, had settled in Shenandoah a year before his death with his wife, a lifelong resident of the faltering mining town, and their young children.
He was walking down a residential street with a friend when he encountered the group of teens, who had been drinking earlier in the evening. John Doe was convicted of providing alcohol to the other teens who were involved in the confrontation, including a juvenile co-defendant and another teen who pleaded guilty in federal court for his role in the fight.
The teens baited the Ramirez into a fight with racial epithets, provoking an exchange of punches and kicks that ended with Ramirez convulsing in the street, foaming from the mouth. He died two days later in a hospital.
One teen was accused of delivering a fatal kick to Ramirez's head after he was knocked to the ground. The extent of Ramirez's injuries, which had left his brain oozing from his skull, according to medical testimony, should have sufficed for a conviction other than simple assault. But the all-white jury found the defendants not guilty.
This petition is signed online to press the Department of Justice to file federal charges against the teens.
39. Investigation of human rights abuses in Ogaden
Ogaden; people without hope, who have been maimed by oppressed regimes of Ethiopia in last 2 centuries. Ogadenis who live in the horn of Africa were ceded to Ethiopia's haile salase by British colony in 1942-48. FROM THAT TIME they are denied their basic life.
40. Allow Visible Piercings Across the United States of America in Public Schools
We all know that the majority of public schools in these United States do not allow piercings. Why? Because they're considered a distraction. Well, conforming to others' beliefs and views is morally wrong.
It is unfair that students are not allowed to wear what they want, when they want. It does absolutely no harm whatsoever. Outside of school they do it, so why not during it? It expresses individuality.
And what good is a free country when there are rules that state no student may express who they are while at school?
41. Stop making smokers pay unfair taxes
Well, first and foremost I will say I am a smoker have been for 6 years now. I am writing this petition because I feel we as smokers are being treated unfairly and being taxed unfairly.
Where I am we not only have a state tax, but also are about to have a federal tax on top of the state tax. I feel this is unconstitutional if it were to happen to someone else they would be up in arms and it is discrimination against us.
I feel it's time for smokers to make there voice heard. For to long have we been footing the bill for anything that goes down hill financially in this country, for to long have we been taxed unfairly and I say enough its time to fight back.
42. Re-open and fund Illini Park and Illinois Parks

Now that Blagojevich is out of office, let Pat Quinn know, YOU want Illini Park and other state parks RE-OPENED.

44. XBL UK to be the same as XBL USA
Like above my xbox went a bit funny when putting a cd in the tray and boom USA dashboard, you can tell it was because it had netflix. So I had a quick look at inside xbox, much more helpful and you would watch over and over and there was an events page which dates and what game.
Why does the USA have to get the better stuff while we wait for new stuff to come for about a week?

48. Implement 1990 Elections Result in Burma
Burma is located in South-East Asia and shares the border with China, Laos, Thailand, Bangladesh, and India. The military has dominated government since General Ne Win led a coup in 1962 to 1988. In 1988, students led the mass uprising and eventually managed to topple the one party rule led by General Ne Win. Another military regime came to power on 18 September 1988 and gunned down more than 3000 peaceful protesters. Due to the increase domestic and international pressure, junta promised to hold the election in 1990 and National League for Democracy (NLD) led by Aung San Suu Kyi won the landslide victory. The ruling junta refused to hand over power and instead put Aung San Suu Kyi under house arrest and imprisoned thousands of political dissidents.
"If this country is to achieve genuine democracy, the result of the elections of 1990 must be recognized. It must be recognized by the military regime, as it has been recognized by the people, and by the world at large. It is through this recognition that we will be able to make genuine progress in Burma. The results of the 1990 General Elections must be implemented is a resolution already taken by the United Nations. We already know that the General Assembly of the United Nations has accepted the notion that the will of the people has been expressed in the 1990 General Elections. This is something we cannot abandon. It will be to the detriment of our country if after an election has been held the results are not honoured and we do not resist attempts to trivialise it", once Aung San Suu Kyi insisted.
We cannot ignore the lives of people scarified in 1988 mass uprising when more than 3000 people were gunned down, we cannot forget 2007 Saffron revolution when soldiers and riot police beaten and opened fire on Buddhist monks and peaceful demonstrators and we cannot close the eyes to the suffering of the heroes of Burma who are now in prisons and who were in prisons sacrifice their lives, faced torture and brutal treatment in order to show their aspiration for democracy.
A tremendous responsibility rests upon the United Nations Organisation to a far better end, and we are looking for a more positive and bolder lead of the United Nations as military regime is trying to nullify the results of the 1990 elections result by planning to hold another election in 2010.
Burmese people show their destiny, their will and sacrifice their lives already. United Nations must step up further in order to solve Burma crisis and actions needed to be taken practically focusing on to implement 1990 Elections result. The solution for the crisis of Burma is to recognize 1990 election result to restore democracy and rule of law where everyone can enjoy the freedom of speech, press, beliefs and assembly that emphasizes the protection of individual rights.
This is time to take actions and not words. Military government bought the time for 20 years and we should not let it happen anymore. United Nations must set out the dead lines to transfer power to Aung San Suu Kyi’s party National League for Democracy (NLD) by 2010. We don't want any more waiting games. General Assembly of the United Nations has accepted the notion that the will of the people has been expressed in the 1990 General Elections. International community strongly condemned the junta for refusing to allow elected representatives to meet as a People's Assembly and for failing to honour the results of the elections and hand over power. UN General Assembly has since 1991 passed successive annual Resolutions calling on Burma "to restore democracy and implement the results of the 1990 elections".

53. Protest Kosovo Independence
Russia is convinced that the idea of Kosovo's independence is far-fetched. Nobody had even mentioned it before NATO bombed Yugoslavia in 1999. At that time, the discussion centered on various parameters of autonomy and a change in Yugoslavia's federal structure.
Russia's foreign minister called on Thursday (February 21, 2008) for talks on the status of Kosovo, whose parliament declared independence on February 17, to be resumed.
Tensions have escalated in Belgrade, with thousands of Serbs gathering in the capital to protest against Kosovo's independence. Groups of activists broke into United States and Croatian embassies in protest against the countries' support for Kosovo's secession.
Sergei Lavrov told reporters in Moscow: "Talks on Kosovo's status should be restarted," and warned that the unilateral declaration could have consequences which "could harm Russia's relations with the EU and the United States."
Serbia said on Wednesday(February 20th, 2008) it would utilize all possible political and diplomatic means to maintain the country's territorial integrity in the wake of Kosovo's declaration of independence. "Serbia's internationally recognized borders have been unilaterally violated," Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic told a news conference.
(thanks to various pages from http://en.rian.ru/ )
Why is Serbia’s Province of Kosovo so important to Serbs? Consider, first, that Kosovo is the historical heart and religious soul of Serbia. Hundreds of Serbian Orthodox churches, monasteries, and holy sites in Kosovo attest to this. But our full answer would have to include that what is happening in Kosovo today is of far reaching importance for the entire world.

The brand Vegemite is owned by Kraft which is owned by an American company. Vegemite was once an Aussie owned brand.
The Americans own Vegemite but have little respect for the product calling it axle grease. Aussie legend Dick Smith made an offer for Vegemite but was rejected.
The most simple way to buy back this icon is to support the 100% Australian owned opposition Aussiemite, Marmite, Mightymite.

60. Better food for Locust Fork High School
The lunch room food is revolting, repulsive, and sickening.
Almost everyday someone gets sick.The salads have black bugs in them;and the milk is sometimes expired and that can lead to food poisoning. The fries are not always fully cooked, and the ketchup is in a pan now and it looks old it should be back in the packs. The hamburgers are always raw in the center and most of the other meats aren't fully cooked either. The hot dogs taste like plastic and the chicken is pink in the center.
we believe the lunch room workers should wear hair nets to keep their hair out of our food because their has been numerous times we have found hair in our food.
