Any other ideas for petitions that would benefit the nation or others for that matter?

Signed yours, and signed James' 2 days ago. Didn't know about these petitions until a few days ago.

Signed for sure. Religious institutes and foundations should not be exempt from taxes. They make more money than they lead you to believe and if we would have been taxing them from day one we would be in a lot less debt than we are now.

So very true. Letting them off tax-free is certainly doing more harm than good.

My own petition is dying http://wh.gov/R1cx with only seventy signatures and only four days to go.
I have no faith in atheists standing up for themselves.

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.
I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you!
