1. Battlefield 1942 and expansions: Free public release 
As Battlefield 1942 PC is heading towards its tenth anniversary, we encourage EA/DICE to release for free, the game and it's expansions. We feel that such a release would not only benefit the players by unifying the expansions to actually become playable online, but would be seen as something that could be 'given back' to the community from EA.
Release would entail at minimum:
Free public release of the BF1942 expansions The Road to Rome and Secret Weapons of WWII.
Copy protection removal for the expansions, The Road to Rome and Secret Weapons of WWII.
The preferable release would consist of:
Copy protection removal for BF1942, The Road to Rome and Secret Weapons of WWII.
Public release of BF1942, The Road to Rome and Secret Weapons of WWII
And If possible, a source code release for further modification and unification of the above expansions.
2. Australian Award for Timor-Leste
During 1942, seven hundred Australian soldiers of the 2/2 and 2/4 Independent Companies were sent to the neutral Portuguese colony of Timor, just off the north-west coast of Australia.
The Japanese army was moving south rapidly and the island of Timor was seen as a possible place from which Australia could be attacked. The few Australians conducted a successful guerilla campaign against the thousands of Japanese military who subsequently arrived. The Timorese people sided with the Australians, feeding, sheltering and guiding them.
Young men carried the Australians' packs, led them through the jungles, advised on the best attacking positions and proved themselves loyal companions. They took them to their homes and the families shared what they had, nursing the Australians when they were wounded or sick. The toll on the Timorese was heavy, with at least 40,000 civilians dying as a result of Japanese reprisals and Australian bombing raids on Japanese positions. The Australians who returned testify to the courage, generosity and kindness of the Timorese.
There has yet been no official Australian recognition of this unique contribution to the welfare of Australians during the War, nor of the toll exacted on the small Timorese population.
This petition is an effort to try to coerce Warner Bros./Warner Home Video to release the television show, Homefront, onto DVD. Homefront was a drama which aired on ABC from 1991-1993.
It was a wonderful show about life right after WWII ended and the soldier's returned home.
Please know that your information will be kept private, and will not be posted on the web. Name, email address, and country is required, other than that it's up to you.
And please, only sign your name once and limit your signatures to one entry per household, as this makes the petition more legitimate in the eyes of Warner Bros.
