Defend Gay Conversion Therapy
We, the undersigned, consider that Theresa May's proposed ban on offering therapy, healing or prayer for people wishing to be free of same-sex attraction is an attack on freedom of speech, on freedom of choice, on freedom of association, and inasmuch as Christianity may form the backdrop to a desire to be free from same-sex desires, or may constitute an element of the healing process offered, on religious freedom.

Support Mike Hosking's Right To Express An Opinion
Many people don't like Mike Hosking or many of his opinions. The fact is however, that he's been given the right to say what he thinks on nationwide radio and TV. Many people have fought tooth and nail (and in some cases, lost their lives) for us to have a society where we're free to express those opinions. We the undersigned, do not believe Mr Hosking should be removed from his role or roles in broadcasting, simply because he is expressing an opinion.

Reinstate Elvis' name on the "USS Arizona"
The goal of this petition is to reinstate Elvis' name on the "USS Arizona Memorial" in Pearl Harbour - Hawaii... Elvis' name was removed from the memorial because of his alleged abuse of prescibed medication! This removal is an insult to the memory and legacy of Elvis Presley!
