2. Change name of informant to name of parent on birth certificate

Since Birth certification was first introduced in 400 AD there has been a section that says on it "NAME OF INFORMANT" not "NAME OF PARENT" as it should say but instead it is so that our babies and children are signed to the Government so this petition is to get that changed so that our children are our children and not signed over to the government as it is at the moment.

If you agree with this please sign this and place it everywhere so we can get it changed given that our babies are ours, we are the one's whom create them not the Government.

6. Ban the SATs (stanford achievement test) Worldwide

Worldwide kids and young adults from third-grade to high school are pressured by the SATs. Every year we strive to remember information for simple tests.

Now the academic faciltiy board expects us to remember all of it just to get a high score on the test. Shouldn't grades be enough to determine what counts.

In the real world we are not going to have to remember who got fired at work or what rose in your garden died 10 years from when it happened. So why should all the educational fields be any different? They shouldn't! If we work together we can change the world. Academically, physically, and emotionally.

7. FK Velez Mostar

March 24, 2006

FK Velez Mostar

Bosanski:

Visokom predstavniku u BiH

Cijenjeni gospodine Schwarz - Schilling

Fudbalski klub Velež Mostar je jedan od najstarijih klubova na podruèju južne Evrope. Dugogodišnji je uèesnik meðunarodnih fudbalskih klupskih natjecanja. Njegove boje su branili nogometaši, koji su kasnije igrali za najpoznatije evropske klubove.

Sa poèetkom rata u BiH 1992.godine, FK Velež je protjeran sa svoga stadiona i uskraæeno mu je pravo koje meðunarodna zajednica garantira svim graðanima BiH - povratak na svoje ognjište.

Veæ 14 godina FK Velež nastupa na neuslovnom stadionu i samo uz veliku ljubav svojih navijaèa i prijatelja uspio je opstati kao klub i nalazi se pred povratkom u fudbalsku ligu najboljih klubova BiH.

FK Velež je tokom svoje istorije bio i ostao klub svih graðana svoga grada i šire, u njemu su igrali i igraju predstavnici sva tri naroda u BiH.

Cijenjeni gospodine Visoki predstavnièe,

svojim potpisom dole molim Vas da iskoristite svoj autoritet i pravo funkcije koju obavljate i donesete, èim prije, odluku sa zakonskom snagom kojom æete omoguæiti FK Velež Mostar ostvarenje njegovog prava na trenutni povratak na Stadion pod Bijelim brijegom u Mostaru...

Deutsch:

Sehr geehrter Herr Schwarz-Schilling!

Fußballklub Velez gehört zu den ältesten Fußballvereinen Südosteuropas und hat an vielen internationalen Wettbewerben teilgenommen. In seiner Vereinsfarbe rot spielten die Spieler, die später auch für berühmtesten Vereine Europas angetreten sind.

Mit dem Kriegsbeginn in Bosnien-Herzegowina 1992. wurde Velez von seinem Fußballstadion vertrieben. Nach dem Krieg wurde ihm das Recht zurückzukehren, das allen Bürgern Bosniens zusteht und von Internationalen Gemeinschaft garantiert wird, entzogen.

Seit 14 Jahren arbeitet das Team unter schwierigsten Bedienungen und nur Dank Hilfe von Fans und Freunden ist er als Verein erhalten geblieben und befindet sich auf dem Weg in die höchste Spielklasse, Premier League Bosniens.

FK Velez ist durch seine Geschichte immer ein Klub aller Bürger Mostars gewesen und in ihm haben immer die Vertreter aller drei Volksgruppen Bosniens gespielt und noch immer spielen.

Hochgeschätzter Herr Hoher Repräsentant,

mit meiner Unterschrift weiter unten, bitte ich Sie höflichst Ihre Autorität und Rechte, die Ihre Funktion mit sich bringt, zu nutzen und die gesetzliche Grundlage zu schaffen, die es dem FK Velez ermöglichen soll endlich zu seinem Recht zu kommen um schnellstmöglich in sein Stadion „Bijeli Brijeg" zurückzukehren.

Danke in voraus
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Dear Mr. Schwarz Schilling.

This is a plee of Bosnian football fans in Bosnia & Herzeggovina and worldwide. It regards the "Velez" - Football Club of Mostar.

F.C. "Velez" is one of the oldest football clubs in the southern regions of Europe. It has been, contestant of many international championships trougout its rich history. Its colors were representet by footballers who were, later, members of most famous clubs in Europe.

At the begining of the war in Bosnia and Herzeggovina in 1992, F.C. "Velez" was expelled from its own stadium and is being denied return to its own playground. This is a very sad fact since U.N. is granting the right of return to homes to all people in bosnia.

This right should apply to F.C. "Velez" also, - the team which has been forced to train and play at dire conditions of its present stadium and facilities. The club has been able to survive today only by the help of its friends and fans who are realy fond of their club.

F.C. "Velez" has allways been and allways wil be represented by the players from all Bosnian nationalities. It has allways been and it wil allways be pride of the city of Mostar.

So, dear Mr. Schilling we hope that you can use your respected authority and grant the rightfull return of "Velez Stadium" to its club, fans and its people.

Sencerily yours,
Sports-lovers of Bosnia and Herzegovina and worldwide.

8. Support for Canadian Seal Hunt

March 04, 2006

I am responding to the many anti-sealing groups worldwide. These groups which have come into our country and told us we were archaic, and inhumane. I am a supporter of the humane seal hunt in Canada.

To date there is over 5 million seals in population, and this is an over-healthy population. I refer you to http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/media/infomedia/2005/ im01_e.htm for more information about the myths propogated by the anti-sealing groups.

Please let us all take a stand and show the rest of the world that we support our Government, our people, and our culture!

9. Recognise Universal Children's Day

On the 14 December 1954, the General Assembly recommended that all countries institute a Universal Children's Day, to be observed as a day of worldwide fraternity and understanding between children.

It recommended that the Day was to be observed also as a day of activity devoted to promoting the ideals and objectives of the Charter and the welfare of the children of the world. The Assembly suggested to governments that the Day be observed on the date and in the way which each considers appropriate.

The date 20 November, marks the day on which the Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, in 1959...The United Kingdom, however does NOT officially recognise this day....we want to change that....register here to help us have this as an official day to recognise the welfare of children worldwide

10. Free The Fixtures

The Football Association are searching through football club fan sites and threatening legal action against those sites displaying league fixtures without having previously paid a prohibitive license fee to the FA for the privilege of doing posting their 'property'.

Many smaller fan sites are run by private individuals with the interest of their club at heart, and not any personal private gain, unlike the FA or individual clubs. As such, such a demand for the privilege of posting such information that can be found anywhere on the worldwide web, or in the paper media, restricts the right of the individual to attempt to present a 'professional'-looking web site.

Therefore, we, the undersigned, protest at the money-grabbing antics by the FA, and urge them to consider allowing bona fide fan sites to publish league fixtures without cost to the webmaster.

1 in 5 people that die in the USA die because of smoking. That equals one person every 10 seconds. Every day in the US 3,000 teens become newly addicted to smoking.

Let's make that stop.

It has come to our attention that EURODICAUTOM may no longer be available

if it has been made, for the good of the international community of
translators.
