Taxes for Life not DeathTo refuse us this right is to force us to compromise our own beliefs. The elected government should not have the right to force individuals to contribute towards actions that will inevitably lead to the deaths of others, especially when a proportion of those deaths, however small you may personally believe them to be, are likely to include innocents53 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Peter Hynes

No air strikes against SyriaNot only is bombing a country wrong on moral grounds surely we are doing exactly what ISIS / ISIL want? Not only would we be killing thousands of innocent people but air strikes would also promote division between the West and ISIS / ISIL supporters. ISIS / ISIL WANT a holy war. Bombing Syria is leading to a holy war in their eyes. Air strikes will only create more martyrs and increase terrorist acts by ISIS / ISIL. Surely this is obvious?24 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jacky Misson

Stop separating refugee familiesImagine seeing your home destroyed and being forced to flee your country. This is the reality facing millions of refugees this year, as we continue to see in the news. The journey is only part of the story. After the trauma of fleeing their home, refugee families can find themselves divided across countries, even continents. In UK law we have something called Refugee Family Reunion, which can unite families again having found sanctuary from conflict. Whilst family reunion is vital for those that get it i regularly encounter heart-breaking cases the rules simply don’t cover, resulting in the trauma of separation. Like the Syrian-born Palestinian refugee who wished to bring his wife and children to join him in the UK. The family had fled Syria to Lebanon. Unfortunately, their eldest son was aged 20 at the time of making the application. His wife and younger children were granted visas, but his elder son was refused due to his age. The family are now divided. I want the rules widened so family members including children over 18 years old, dependent parents and grandparents, and siblings with no other family can apply. A new clause tabled to the Immigration Bill, due to be debated on 1 December, would do just that. It would also strengthen an existing safe and legal route for refugees, helping avoid potentially life-threatening journeys across Europe. But to make this happen I need your help. Please email your MP asking them to vote for Refugee Family Reunion. Everyone has the right to live in safety with their family and loved ones3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Phil Arnold

Withdraw 'The Sun' from circulationRecent headlines claiming that 1 in 5 Muslims in the UK are sympathetic to ISIS is wrong and inflammatory. The consequence of these types of headlines will undoubtably result in hate crimes against Muslims in our community. Yes, ISIS (although we should refer to them as Daesh') - are evil and have to be dealt with, but associating Muslims with them, does no one any favours, especially in this way. Lest it is forgotten that they already kill Muslims.41 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Griggs

Re-opening the independent living fund for disabled peopleThis petition is important as it will widely help disabled people live their life independently and efficiently. 18,000 people with high support needs relied on the fund and said it "transformed their life". The fund has recently been closed resulting in changing peoples lives greatly in a negative way. This petition may contribute towards re-opening the independent living fund even if it is a small difference. Please take a couple of minutes out of your time to sign up for this campaign. It will be greatly appreciated :)31 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sonia Haider

damaging, racist and hateful drawing in the daily mailThis image instigates racial hatred and violence! I find this image unacceptable, offensive and an act of racism from the Daily Mail which will only create further divide and hate among people. After the shocking events of the weekend, surely now more than ever, we need to come together instead of creating a larger divide through hateful propagander!64 of 100 SignaturesCreated by sarah wade

STOP "Selective" Humanity Reports on MEDIAWe want the FULL TRUTH, visible and standing next to each other as Parisians are equal to Lebanese and Palestinians as ALL of us are HUMANs and suffer equally. Angelina Jolie posted about the ISIS attack in Lebanon which didn't receive any media coverage (see: https://www.facebook.com/OF.Angelina/photos/a.127159833963497.22403.127098593969621/1137146722964798/?type=3&fref=nf) Look at the current BBC website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news Can you find anything about Lebanon, other ISIS hit regions and daily Palestinian sufferings?20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Daria Brovina

Respond to Paris attacks by welcoming Syrian refugeesWelcoming more refugees from Syria would be a beautiful and fitting memorial to those who were murdered in Paris, by reaching out to help these other victims of IS's violence. It would demonstrate the stark contrast between our bravery and compassion, and IS's corwardice and brutality. It would send a clear, defiant message that the UK will not bow to terrorism and will not give in to fear.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Hugh Griffiths

Allow the north of England to secede from the UK & join ScotlandThe deliberations in Westminster are becoming increasingly irrelevant to the north of England. The northern cities feel far greater affinity with their Scottish counterparts such as Glasgow and Edinburgh than with the ideologies of the London-centric south. The needs and challenges of the north cannot be understood by the endless parade of old Etonions lining the frontbenches of the House of Commons. The north of England should join the newly independent Scotland and regain control over its own destiny. We, the people of the north, demand that in the event that Scotland becomes independent the border between England and the New Scotland be drawn along a line that runs between the River Dee and the mouth of The Humber (see map). #TakeUsWithYouScotland14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by david l

The UK needs to do more to help with the refugee CrisisI am an A Level citizenship student and I feel the UK needs to do more to help with the refugees Crisis, focusing on Syria. I understand there is a lot of aid being sent,but in there situation what they really need is shelter and safety and not be abandoned on the sides of roads in makeshift camps such as the jungle camp in Calais. I am working closely with a team of dedicated persons acting on our assignment of completing some active citizenship. We would like to get at least one hundred signatures to show that our local area feels that change is needed. After We achieve the required amount of signatures we will compile a letter and send it to Christopher Chope(Christchurch MP) asking him to use his powers in the House of Commons to bring around change.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jack Rankin

Open up empty buildings in BurnleyTo plead to the Council to open its empty buildings to the homeless in winter. I cannot imagine sleeping rough in driving, biting winds, snow, ice and winter rain. It's inhumane. It's also inexcusable when we have so many empty buildings.29 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Melissa Creelman
