I want to let you know about a new petition I created on We the People,

a new feature on WhiteHouse.gov, and ask for your support. The petition is to amend Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to include all Americans rather than the few listed in this treasured yet outmoded document.  My petition reads as follows:

“we petition the Obama administration to:

amend Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to fully protect all Americans from discrimination.

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a very good start for addressing the needs of the disenfranchised in a civil society.

Pockets of our nation have since moved forward and afforded increased civil rights within their communities. This is not reflective of a United States of America. Civil rights should not be based on geography nor should they be addressed on a piecemeal basis.

Each American should enjoy each right equally and feel safe in knowing that the American government has her/his back no matter their difference, ability, or station in life - we are all equal Americans and should be afforded the same rights and responsibilities accordingly.

Please join the quest for equal playing fields for every American citizen and help make unequal civil rights a thing of our past.”

Will you add your name to mine?  If this petition gets 100,000 signatures by March 07, 2014, the White House will review it and respond

Please pass this on to as many folks as possible as time is very limited.  We only have until 3/7/14 to get 100,000 signatures.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
