Update Our National Anthem!

What it's about: Swap one national treasure for another: R. Kelly's "Ignition (Remix)"
Why we need it: America deserves a song where Beyonce (or whomever) can belt out "Toot toot/ Beep Beep" at the World Series opener.
Signatures still needed: 88,526 by April 2nd

Make America Macho Again!

What it's about: Immortalize "Macho Man" Randy Savage with a May 20th holiday.
Why we need it: "No matter if you knew him from Slim Jim commercials or his wrestling career, you felt a deep connection with Savage"—likely rivaled only by Hulk Hogan himself.

Death star: This one calls for the construction of, yes, a death star by 2016. If you didn't see any of the Star Wars films, the Huffington Post explains that this would be an "inter stellar weapon of unimaginable destruction." (4,722 signatures as of today.)

Military pockets: Members of the military service "respectfully request the President of the United States to restore our sacred right to place our hands in our pockets—on or off duty." (4,008)
Nationalize Twinkie industry: "... to prevent our nation from losing her sweet creamy center." (3,998)
Fark party: President Obama should attend a Fark.com party, or, failing that, at least have a beer with Drew Curtis, founder of the weird-news aggregator. (1,165)
Shut down the petition site: It's pretty much a joke, and the White House responses are "ultimately worthless" anyway. (933)
