In België betalen we te veel belastingen en zijn we bovendien nog niet goed geregeerd. We hebben nood aan een sterke federale staat. Te veel belastingen dood de economie van het land. Laten we de kosten besparen op zaken die we kunnen veranderen zonder moeite
2. Speak Up! Speak Out! To Stop Sexual Abuse 
Sharon R. Wells is a survivor of child sexual abuse. At age 14 she could no longer suppress the traumatic secrets of being abused. She felt alone, abandoned, damaged, guilty and responsible. The guilt and shame impacted her life in a very negative way. The deep embedded scars of abuse carried over into her adult life, causing much pain and suffering. Had resources been available for teens during that time, there is a great chance that she may not have experienced such life-long suffering. Sharon's story is just one of many who continue to suffer in silence because of sexual abuse.
There is an estimate of 60 million sexual abuse survivors that live amongst us in the United States of America. Because sexual abuse leaves victims feeling ashamed and guilty, most victims never tell. The secret torments them and causes life long suffering. Research has shown that the population of teenage abuse victims have been known to take their own lives, engage in drug and alcohol abuse, experience depression, rage, post-traumatic stress disorder amongst many others. If the trauma is not treated, some victims are doomed to repeat the cycle of sexual abuse.
The only way that we can save our future generations is by educating and empowering them to speak up and out. We must provide resources and support that will encourage them to break their silence and seek help and be aware of their surroundings.
3. Demand of immediate release of 2 citizens of the Republic of Azerbaijan
“IRELI” Public Union operating in Baku, Azerbaijan, consisting 12 member organizations and over 25.000 young activists is submitting petition to the broad audience, NGOs, human rights defenders and young activists all over the world calling for the help to release two young Azerbaijani poets who were groundlessly accused and detained in the Islamic Republic of Iran more than two months.
“On 29th of April 2012 two Azerbaijani poets Farid Huseysn and Shahriyar Hajizade visited Islamic Republic of Iran in order to participate at the poetry festival. Soon after when they were planning to come back Azerbaijan on the 2nd of May in Tabriz city they were kidnapped and detained by persons in civilian clothes.
Two months has passed since unjustified detainment of Azerbaijani poets. In spite of the fact that within this period of time the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan has already gave 5 letters of notes to the Iranian side but yet it has not given desired outcomes. Unfortunately Iranian authorities have not yet provided reasonable information about the reasons of detainment of Farid Huseyn and Shahriyar Hajizade.
Moreover, each attempt of meeting with detained citizens of the Republic of Azerbaijan by the Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan in Tehran and Consulate of the Republic of Azerbaijan in Tabriz was declined by Iranian officials. We would like to emphasize the fact that behavior of Iranian authorities is contradicting internationally admitted conventions and taking into consideration the fact that Iran is the member of UN and is part of the globally admitted civilization we find such behavior unreasonable and unjustified.
According to the information spread in Iranian mass media two Azerbaijani poets were detained because of accusation in illegal drug smuggling and in espionage to Israel. Furthermore, these media agencies also claim that two Azerbaijani poets made a confession regarding above mentioned accusations and Iranian officials has given related documents to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan. However, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan found these claims groundless and denied the fact of getting any documents by Iranian officials.
We also turn to such organizations as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International and to the human rights defenders who based in Azerbaijan to draw more precise attention to the current issue. The curios fact is that till this moment none of above mentioned organizations have not drawn up any protocol and document regarding violation of human rights of the citizens of Azerbaijan in Iran. We also would like to see any kind of appeal by local human rights defenders to the global area, foreign media representatives, and international organizations with their true voice of justice.
We wish to see Azerbaijani human rights defenders more active and sensitive in the case when it comes to protect the rights of two Azerbaijani citizens who were unreasonably detained in other country. We make an open call to everyone who cares destiny of innocent people in Azerbaijan and across the globe to join our appeal in order to protect rights of humanity in the face of Farid Huseysn and Shahriyar Hajizade and require their soonest release.
The time is ripe for this approach because for too long Islamic Republic of Iran has not only refused release of two Azerbaijani citizens, it has also continued to ignore and repeatedly reject attempts of Consulate of the Republic of Azerbaijan in Tabriz to meet with detained Azerbaijani citizens.”
4. PROTECT THE VICTIMS OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE IN SRI LANKA
At the request made by the mother of a child sexual victim, the Judge at the High Court in Sri Lanka (Case No 39/2004), made a recommendation to the Attorney General to withdraw the indictment.
After considering all the facts involved and in view of the sheer severity of the damage that could cause to the victim in this particular case, the AG agreed to withdraw the charges. Unfortunately the news papers published the details of the case including false information violating the child's right to privacy and confidentiality, totally destroying the intentions of the courts and causing immense damage to the victim and her family.
This secondary victimization has severely damaged the victim without giving her the opportunity to rebuild her life.
5. Abolish law "felony non support"
The Government has enacted that it is a "felony" to "owe" child support in almost every state. In most states, If you were ordered to "pay an amount" in the "time stated", and failed to do so, and the amount has compiled to $5,000.00 or more in arrearages, that you are guilty of committing the crime of "felony non-support" punishable by up to 4yrs in prison.
There is NO DEFENSE of record to this charge, that even if you are disabled and cannot pay, you are guilty of the crime. This law needs to be abolished as it is frivolous to the rights of the people. The law by design was created to "extort" money from families, and to fund its institution!
6. LET THERE BE HOT TOPIC IN AUSTRALIA

7. Get rid of the points and levels system on yahoo answers
The points and levels system on yahoo answers is not necessary and it causes nothing but trouble. It causes chaos! It has a high range in which it takes A LOT of work to get your full rights.
It even limits some of the rights that you do have! I got an answer that said "thanks for the two points!'. They answered just to get points and didn't even answer the question! Here is the link that shows you the system: http://answers.yahoo.com/info/scoring_system;_ylt=AjtxrNrLoJ6raGPmmJPBAizj1KIX;_ylv=3
We must ABOLISH it!
8. Bring Back Death Penalty In South Africa!
For the past fifteen years there has been a RAPID increase in murder, rape and all other incredibly savage acts and crime in general. South Africa is currently NUMBER ONE on in the world for murder, rape and all crime and therefore earned the name "CRIME CAPITAL OF THE WORLD".
More then THREE THOUSAND FARMERS have been murdered since 1994 and nearly more then 50 South Africans are murdered PER DAY! A BIG portion of that are CHILDREN that were RAPED TO DEATH!
These SAVAGES are seldom caught and only a few gets captured and convicted. Most of these murderers actually prefer being in jail. They receive clean beds, three meals and free education if they so desire.
This becomes another burden on the taxpayer. With other words the law-abiding citizens of South Africa actually are then the ones getting punished for the murderer 's heinous acts! More then 600 South Africans have actually successfully gained refugee status in other countries! HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS South Africans have already fled the country in fear of their lives! This resulted in the ultimate "Brain Drain" of the country.
Instead of keeping the LAW-ABIDING, EDUCATED citizens of South Africa IN the country, the Lack of the South African Government's involvement and lack of proper punishment has secured South Africa 's first place as a MURDER/RAPE/CRIME - CAPITAL IN THE WORLD!
I am of the strong opinion that Capital Punishment for murder should be reintroduced to South Africa! Amnesty International states that the Death Penalty 'violates the right of the life as proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.' The question - What about the lives and rights of the victims? Were they not entitled to the Right of Life and Prohibition of Torture?
The person that takes the life savagely of another should no longer benefit from the protections afforded under any legislation. The failure of the government to actually ensure the citizens of South Africa a safer country is no longer expectable.
A Jail term is no longer a deterrent. BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY IN SOUTH AFRICA! PLEASE VISIT our pages on FACEBOOK -

9. Yes to Retrieving Geocities
When Yahoo axed Geocities free websites on Oct 26th 2009, it managed to splinter the personal histories of millions of people who cut their designing and communications milk teeth on Geocities.
Our disbelief and disappointment have snowballed into a frustration which demands solutions acceptable to both Yahoo as well as ourselves.
10. Stop the new Yahoo homepage
The popular internet service company Yahoo! Inc. has recently begun testing a redesign of their web site. This is an unwelcome change and it is being forced on a unwilling and unsuspecting public.
This petition is a simple one, with one single goal. To stop Yahoo! from testing this new version of their popular internet website and from eventually replacing the current version with this abomination.
To see it for yourself simply type in www.m.yahoo.com on a computer and u will be directed to it. But i do strongly advise against. If you do choose to see it, please proceed with cation. The layout and color scheme is more than enough to bring a man to tears let alone a child or young adult.

13. Lexington Transit Authority to provide transportation for our community
It has come to my attention that an elementary school has been built in one of the oldest sections of east Lexington. The school is located at Liberty Rd. and Star Shoot intersection.
Unfortunately there are not any public transportation services in close proximity to the school or the new community that has been built in the area. With education being one of our top priorities this bothers me as it should you. Young children with parent that have no accsess to transportation would have to miss a whole day of school if they had a doctors appointment in the early morning hours because th walk from Fortune Dr. to the school is about a mile and a half.
Speaking from a disabled person's point of view and church attendee I am also unable to make the walk. One morning I experienced the walk that was not only long but dangerous due to no side-walks or much lighting I feared for my life.
Do we really want our young and working poor to suffer like this when there is a feasible solution?

16. Get the JB on Tyra Banks Show

Yahoo! is used by millions of users, including me, I am completely against the sale of Yahoo to Microsoft, if Microsoft buys yahoo, they are going too change EVERYTHING including mail, messenger and everything, if we don't do anything now, every 1 person that signs can help stop yahoo selling up.
Yahoo is one of the best sites out their for both search and mail, if Microsoft buy it, they will change it too Windows Live and only give you half of what you get now, or maybe very little space for mail, you currently get unlimited mail...
If Yahoo sells, Yahoo is going too lose VERY many people!
18. Hold Coles and Woolworths accountable
Did you know that 85% of the products in the average Australian grocery trolley are made by foreign owned companies.
This results in 100 million a day going outside Australia. By comparison,in Japan, 98% of goods in supermarkets are owned by Japanese organisations. We need to turn this around and copy the Japanese comparison.Lets go even better than the Japanese lets aim for 100%.

Regional Centers, which are a California State run agency, under the Lanterman Act, provide services for those with developmental disabilities. They serve those with: Mental Retardation, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, and Epilepsy.
Since 1988 Case Managers for Regional Centers have not had a had a cost adjustment to the formula for raises entered into California Law (via the Lanterman Act). In addition, case managers are mandated through the Lanterman Act, which is state law, to maintain a caseload of sixty-five to seventy cases per case manager.
Our petition's mission is to create an amendment to the Lanterman Act, which would recalculate the formula by which case managers' are paid to reflect a living wage.
In addition, it is also mandated by the state that case managers have a work load of 65-70 consumers per case manager. We are asking that the work load be reduced to 25-30.

Stop them.
27. Bring Back Yahoo! User Rooms
This petition was created to bring back the user created rooms provided by Yahoo! Inc. Many people now have no place to vent their anger or justify their opinion or just relax and chat about whatever they wanted to chat about.
As former frequent visitors to these rooms, we are the only ones who can revive our freedom. We must fight to get it back and we must persevere!!!
For a while now, we members of the multitude of services provided by Yahoo! have enjoyed the freedom of being able to create our own chat room on any topic we wish. Although some of said topics were questionable, we were able to go into user rooms to give our opinions on major issues, such as abortion and the War on Terror, and a plethora of small topics, including the latest music and bands and artwork.
We were also able to get together, unwind, and do whatever we wanted while not having to stick to one subject, like fashion or video games, that most of us could care less about. These user created rooms were considered an escape from reality for most people. A place where the person could relax and say what they wanted to say and be who they wanted to be.
These freedoms were taken away from us, and we wish to have them returned to us as soon as possible.
A petition to stop the extreme censorsip that Yahoo! Inc. has on the Yahoo! Groups Community.
29. BE FAIR YAHOO!
I am Making this Petition due to unfairness of Yahoogroups. Yahoo does not Investigate complaints on groups or other users, they simply delete your Id's and Groups with no explination. Upon trying to get answers or help all you get is copy and pasted terms of Use junk.
I think we all know that stuff by now. This petition is to Request Yahoo reevaluate their policies and BE FAIR to both sides of a dispute, notify them or investigate claims first!!!
30. Petition to eliminate PORN BOTS from Yahoo Chat
I'm sure you all have gotten those annoying messages from BOTS trying to get you to visit their porn sites. And I am VERY sure you along with myself find it extremely annoying to be trying to have a conversation with your friends or family to have it abruptly interrupted by a nasty ad such as "lisahot_weebcomsex87: cum watch me play with my ***** http://sdlhSexxxy.html"
YAHOO obviously has not done anything about this and it seems that the PORN BOT problem is gradually getting worse. I myself timed the breaks between porn ads and the average time was around 7 seconds (depending on room).
Therefore I have decided to start a petition to tell YAHOO that something needs to be done NOW about all of the porn bots flooding the chat rooms. Whether it be a new registration that would make it extremely difficult to make dummy accounts that are used to create these bothersome bots. Or have it to where there would have to be some kind of email conformation in order to create a new user ID.
Never the less, I r_a_v_e_n_859 ask everyone that has ever been annoyed with these bots to sign this peition and tell YAHOO in voice that were sick of this and want action to be taken to remove the graphic ads made by these bots plauging out chat areas.
Thanks!
