This petition was started due to the lack of the representation of Black Women as leaders in the news media. Black women are always guests, used to boost ratings. Black women are always used to save America when elections are going towards the most unscrupulous candidates. Black women have numerous advanced degrees, experiences, and talents that will help all viewers apply aspects from all Americans, in order to make personal decisions. However, this cannot be done if our narrative is being chronically controlled by others.

It is time we expand the boycott of Fox News to include those who carry the signal.

Our country is better than this. The airing of the Trump rallies is inciting violence. Someone will die.

Given the ongoing human rights abuses the US under current administration refused to address as well as President Trumps again siding with and covering for authoritarian leaders, we call on the patriotism of our defense contractors to withhold sales to Saudi Arabia until such time the world consensus shows they are being honest with other nations and satisfy questions surrounding disappearance of Khashoggi.

Many who are disheartened by the state of our country and the state of our governing bodies and market structure feel lost. Many of us feel that our votes don't make a difference, especially with news of massive voter suppression efforts such as is happening now in Georgia, or of the Russian interference in our presidential election and the willingness of an entire political party to comply. Many of us don't know how to make an impact beyond posting our political opinions on social media. THIS IS THE UNDERLYING MOTIVATION FOR RED FRIDAY. Red Friday is an event with dual intentions. The primary goal of Red Friday is to bolster support for an elevated minimum wage. The secondary goal of Red Friday is to express national distrust in the government and market structure across the United States by disrupting corporate profiteering through economic disobedience.

The Des Moines Register says "In his almost 16 years in Congress, (Steve) King has passed exactly one bill as primary sponsor, redesignating a post office. He won't debate his opponent and rarely holds public town halls. Instead, he spends his time meeting with fascist leaders in Europe and retweeting neo-Nazis." Iowa needs to do better than this.

So many of us have been deleted from West Hills for speaking out critically about issues. WHNC should not be used as a bully tool to silence critics. Every part of the EmpowerLA process is corrupt and held for power instead of for the benefit of the people. With the financial waste, you could help solve the homeless problem instead of providing a place for bored real estate people to protect their investments over the welfare of the people and we have had enough. Do what is right and CLEAN HOUSE at the WHNC.

In August 2018, Cruises to Nowhere, LLC moored the 135-foot Jacks or Better 1 casino boat along Lazaretto Creek at the base of Tybee Island’s only, structurally unsound bridge (per a 2016 Georgia Department of Transportation study), along a WWII-era dock, and at the picturesque gateway to this charming and unique gem of coastal Georgia. Based on research found in U.S. Coast Guard records; inquiries to GDNR; quotes from the owner and general managers of the boat found in media; review of Tybee’s own codes; and other means of investigation and determination, we, the residents, cite the following risks and concerns as our reasons for asking Tybee Island’s Planning Commission and the Tybee City Council to refuse the Jacks or Better 1 Lazaretto Creek site plan and deny the business license to Cruises to Nowhere, LLC.: 1. Previous casino boats have not been good partners: Diamond Royale/Sun Cruz VII casino boat owners (Diamond Cruise Casino, LLC and Marine Charters, LLC), general manager and captains were indicted for operating an illegal gambling business on board. In 2014, Tradewinds Casinos’ the Escapade docked at Bull River ran aground on a sandbar on its maiden voyage, stranding passengers for 16 hours, and left town only 14 months later. 2. While a combined figure of fewer than 150 passengers and crew was given to the Planning Commission on August 20 by the ship’s captain and Lazaretto Creek property owner, substantial documentation exists through quotes from the boat’s owner and his general managers that the capacity is as high as 500. 3. Traffic from those boat passengers will potentially add hundreds of cars simultaneously at the dangerous intersection of Old Highway 80 and Highway 80—with drivers who are possibly impaired crossing against traffic at night. The injury risks are real, in addition to serious backups. 4. The boat is moored near the base of the Lazaretto Bridge. In 2016, Georgia’s DOT gave this bridge a safety rating of only 41.4%/100 and scheduled it for replacement. The boat at 135’ and its weight could potentially damage the bridge in rough weather. There is also a question about whether it can fully clear under the bridge in king tides or other exceptional conditions. 5. Jacks or Better 1, since its purchase by its current owner in 2010, has a long history of serious safety infractions cited by the U.S. Coast Guard—most of which are listed in 2017, indicating many years of neglect including rotted fire hoses. A “marine casualty” is cited in 2013, and it hit a channel marker in Galveston in 2017, for instance. 6. Tybee Island makes the fifth mooring of Jacks or Better 1 in only eight years; the boat has not remained anywhere for more than two years (previous ports include Mayport/Jacksonville, FL; Little River, SC; Aransas Pass, TX; and Galveston, TX). These brief stays do not demonstrate that Tybee residents should have confidence that Cruises to Nowhere is a reliable Tybee business and community partner. 7. The boat poses a threat when arriving and departing to recreational boaters, kayakers, jet skiers, and paddleboarders with its wake. 8. The environmental impacts of this boat are as yet unknown; the owners have offered no plans for fuel storage, waste removal, etc. We don’t know if any equipment on the boat will interfere with the safety of dolphin, manatees or any other wildlife, or if there will be significant chemical impact on the marshes from the boat or the additional cars parked.

CRC Public Relations is the leading PR firm working on the Kavanaugh confirmation. Recently the firm smeared and framed an innocent man, a Maryland middle-school teacher, to defend judge Kavanaugh against the accusations of attempted rate. Amazon, Disney, General Motors and Microsoft all use CRC Public Relations and are currently listed as clients on the firms website. CRC Public Relations has grossly violated the public’s trust. Amazon, Disney, General Motors and Microsoft must cut ties with this unethical organization immediately! ------------------------- Sources https://www.politico.com/story/2018/09/21/ed-whelan-kavanaugh-tweets-pr-firm-836405 http://www.crcpublicrelations.com/Clients.aspx

I am starting this petition to veto SB 901. Governor Brown has until September 30, 2018, to sign or veto it. Sign the petition and ask him to please veto SB 901. Nobody should be able to burn someone's home down and then make the homeowner pay for it. SB-901 allows Edison and PG&E to recover "costs and expenses" for 2017 wildfires by increasing consumer rates. It must be vetoed.

Beginning in 2014, DxE activists have undertaken multiple undercover investigations of Whole Foods suppliers, exposing what they call criminal animal cruelty at farms that include Diestel Turkey Ranch, Pitman Family Farms (Mary’s Free Range Chicken) and Petaluma Farms. The investigations have led to thousands of complaints against Whole Foods on social media and protests across the country against both Whole Foods and its parent company, Amazon. Rather than have an honest conversation about the animal cruelty happening at their farms, Whole Foods has resorted to suing the activists who are exposing the truth and is even asking for a restraining order to keep these activists from asking any more questions at Whole Foods. Activists who expose the truth should be rewarded not punished. Ask Whole Foods CEO John Mackey to drop the charges and tell customers the truth!
