As a fellow Native American Indian, I understand the struggles to be recognized in a world that refers to you as past tense, history. The Wolf Creek Cherokee tribe in Henrico County outside of Richmond, VA, continue a legacy of culture and heritage that was nearly wiped from this land and they deserve to be recognized for their continual efforts to restore and maintain their cultural heritage.

This issue affects everyone. Domestic violence happens a lot all over the world and its time we put the effort towards fixing it.

McDonald's employs about 400,000 people in the US. Many of them do not vote because of work obligations. You claim to be a true American Company. You could prove this to the world by closing your stores in the US during voting on election day and allowing your workers to vote. McDonald's is in a unique position to move other businesses by this action and any short term profits lost would likely be made up in long term customer sentiment gains and the value that a healthy US democracy provides your business. It is time for businesses that truly care about America to prove it and this is a unique opportunity for McDonald's to lead the way. So defend Democracy and prove it to us!

A disproportionate number of men presently and historically have held office and controlled... nearly everything... including the powers of war and oppression. It is time to change to a system of equal gender rule.

The issue facing nurses and doctors, as presented by http://dmfnursingregistry.com and http://blackmatters.com. Nurses and doctors who are African American are targeted to lose their livelihood by our healthcare system because of the inappropriate use of tools, such as cultural diversity, DNRs(Do-Not-Returns) and the tactics that are used by "Big Pharma," targeting minority health care workers. "Enough is enough."

The Representative, already known for supporting white nationalism and making English the official language of Pennsylvania, behaved in a manner that is not only divisive, but dangerous. I am personally affronted and frightened by what I feel is the impending loss of our civil liberties, particularly for my LGBTQ brethren. While the target was not, in fact, gay, the language Rep. Metcalfe used is hate speak. Our elected leaders' ability to wield such language encourages other hate speak and hate crimes.

This is to stop all the racism against Black Americans. It is time for Congress to do their job and work for Black Americans. It is time to come down hard on white racist hate groups. Racists hate groups are working without any concern for what they have been doing to Black Americans since 1964. Now, racists are strong enough to have their own flag and their voice in government. Black Americans are mistreated, murdered and imprisoned without a voice. Congress is the voice of all Americans and it is time for Congress to address this situation.

We need ranked choice voting to be implemented effectively in time for the March election. The voters of Santa Fe chose to improve and increase the representative nature of our democratic process through ranked choice voting. Now a judge has ruled after an evidentiary hearing, that the City is obliged to implement it. It's time to move forward and ensure its effectiveness. No more delays.

Someone had me falsely arrested for domestic violence and went on to use the court system and child protective services to deprive me of my children with the help of child protective services falsifying documents to make unfounded and untrue allegations stand in court.

This petition is about my husband; we need him back home

Muslim Americans have come under discrimination since President Trump was inaugurated in January. According to a data analysis, the number of anti-Muslim hate crimes in the United States rose 91 percent in the first half of the year compared with the same period in 2016, according to a leading Muslim advocacy and civil rights group. People should tell their members of Congress to call out anti-Muslim hate by visiting a mosque and assuring Muslim-Americans that they are welcome here. This why I made a petition to the United States Senate and U.S. House of Representatives to make sure these hate crimes stop.

This petition is about providing the same rights, protective laws (including penalties for violators), and privildges to the Melenated (so called Black) men as are afforded to animals, particularly those classified as endangered species. If $.19 per day can help, shelter, feed and protect an abused, abandoned or neglected animal, YOUR VOICE AND SIGNATURE can do more of the same for this endangered species. Don't let your silence contribute to their extinction!
