Let's get the federal government to stop using a racist name. Eight years ago Washington State officially changed the name of Coon Lake, a 15-acre lake located in the North Cascades mountain range, to Howard Lake. The state acted to honor Wilson Howard, a Black prospector who staked mining claims around the lake 125 years ago. In enacting the name change, Washington State recognized Howard’s direct and historically significant contribution to the area, and removed any possibility that the former name represented a racial slur. (There are no raccoons in the area.) But the federal government has refused to ratify the state’s decision – normally a pro-forma matter. Howard Lake lies within the Lake Chelan National Recreation Area, which is administered by the National Park Service (NPS). Since 2007, the NPS has steadfastly opposed the change from Coon Lake to Howard Lake, and has effectively blocked action within the U.S. Department of the Interior. Crosscut.com recently spotlighted this injustice: http://crosscut.com/2015/09/racism-and-the-public-lands-the-case-of-coon-lake/ Today the NPS trail signs and maps in the North Cascades National Park point to “Coon Lake.” In continuing to oppose the name change, the Park Service is failing to recognize Mr. Howard’s historical contribution to the area and is perpetuating a geographic name that is widely seen as pejorative and racist. The federal government can right this wrong by adopting Washington State’s decision to honor the miner Wilson Howard.

The main purpose of starting this petition is to seek help from the good people around the world to show their solidarity with the inventor who is the victim of an "Organized Crime"! I am the only inventor in the modern history of inventors facing "Galileo Syndrome" and now living in exile in Germany where I have sought asylum. Almost all the responsible members of the US Government including White House, US Congress and FBI are aware of this, but no one has come forward to help me which is a matter of shame.

There may be conservatives who will love our message! Why are we silencing our candidates? There are deadlines in some states for changing party affiliation! Our party needs to be heard right away! And often! Any suppression of free speech is Un-American!

Reggie Ewing has been incarcerated since 1996 for an assault against 5 white men. He was given 100 years for this assault, although none of the victims died or sustained long term injuries. Not only did he have an unfair trial, he was given an absurd amount of time. The public defender that was assigned to him was changed at the last minute and did not call any witnesses on his behalf. No one stated that they knew it was him, and he wasn't given a chance to speak in court. Before the trial, victims and their friends went to the detective to let him know it was not Reggie, only to be turned away, telling them if they were not there to put Reggie away he had nothing to say to them. Reggie was taken from his children and his life of being the father he loved to be. Please sign our petition to let our governor know of his unfair trial and to finally get him set free!

Today, Chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte announced that his House Judiciary Committee would hold a hearing to investigate alleged sales of fetal tissue Planned Parenthood. But Goodlatte should be focused on a much more pressing concern: our right to vote is under attack. Ever since the Supreme Court gutted key Voting Rights Act protections in 2013, states have passed new voting restrictions and rolled back proven bipartisan reforms. If Goodlatte has time to crusade against Planned Parenthood, there's no excuse for letting our most fundamental democratic right go undefended. Demand that Rep. Goodlatte use his power as Judiciary Committee chairman to stop attacks on our right to vote.

Black Americans own only 10 television stations, less than 1% of the 1,774 stations across the entire country. Why? Because in the 1990s, Congress struck down key FCC reforms meant to promote diverse media ownership, and the FCC hasn't acted to restore them. A diverse media ecosystem is vital to a democratic society and necessary to make sure all points of view are shown on the public’s airwaves. We, the people, own the airwaves, and lease them to corporations through the FCC – demand that our public airwaves are as diverse as the public!

Pennsylvania just gave citizens the option to register to vote online – a common-sense reform that every state should adopt. Instead of filling out forms and waiting in line you can register from your computer or smartphone – an easy, cost-efficient way to get more people registered to vote. Democracy works better when everyone is involved. This is one step in the right direction! Every state should follow Pennsylvania's lead and enact online voter registration.

LGBT people are being refused their right to marry. The right to religious freedom does not extent into positions of public service. The Clerk's argument was made by George C. Wallace (then-governor) back in 1963 during the integration of African American students in the state of Alabamba. It didn't work then; it won't work now. Let's have some respect for the position and remove her from office, please.

Take Donald Trump to international court and trial him send him to jail. Now. For violating the first amendment and endangering children and provoking an dangerous environment. America has outstanding for her diverse cultures. French, Italian, English, African American, Chinese etc. It is called the land of freedom justice for all. The first amendment of the United states said that you do not discriminate, for religion nor race. Discrimination is a crime and he is openly provoking segregation. And hate. Our children are seeing this. And because he has money you don't do anything? You cannot support this. Hitler started this way. No one cared till it touch there personal life. Why wait? Italians are Latin. People who go to America hope for a better life. This attitude and wordings of Trump and whom support him create disharmony...resentment. And harm..these are the root that created a holocaust, gangs etc... The war of Korean and Japanese..those who live this kind of campaigns of racism. Jews, negros. .Know the magnitude of his comments and consequences. You must take action before the world looks at America as a land that allow unforgivable injustice. Our president and congress have to act. Take him to trial as an example of putting people over others disrupting peace persecuting a race.. He is Taking advantage of his social status. . America does not need this propaganda.It is not a good for us!! A mayor just suggested marking people!! People are laughing but the world is watching. History must not repeat its injustices. To forget our for fathers and the struggle men fought for to make America a better place to live in guarantying everyone's safety. It is not freedom of speech he is attacking a race..like Hitler. Please consider my petition seriously. I was born in America. I am not proud of his insults which I believe is a destructive conduct act.Now.

My granddaughter has been asking, where's Nana and Papa? I had taken care of her 3 to 4 times a week for two years. We were very close. For years, I had "loaned" my daughter money when she called me in a panic because she couldn't pay her rent. It added up to several thousand dollars. She has never offered to pay any of it back. My daughter and her husband have a habit of over-spending and not paying their debts to the point of having no credit, getting evicted and being sued by collection agencies. I told them that I would no longer enable their poor spending habits by continuing to give them more money, because it wasn't helping them. I offered them help on forming a budget and getting better jobs. My daughter quit the minimum wage job she had and went on state assistance. They abruptly removed my granddaughter from my life, and now a grandson has been born. He is 9 months old. I've never met him, even though we live in the same area. By the way, my daughter has a BA degree. I have asked her many times to talk to me and work this out. She flatly refuses. I worry that my granddaughter thinks that I've abandoned her or that I stopped loving her. My heart is broken. This could be remedied with some regular, court-ordered visitation.
