Animal cruelty has been discovered "behind the scenes" at local PetSmart, which upon further investigation proves to be policy. For full details and photos please visit: https://wonderwoofs.wordpress.com/2016/10/13/avian-cruelty-at-petsmart/

Ivanka Trump is a public figure who passionately & pro-actively supports a serial sexual assaulter of women. She's an official surrogate for the Trump campaign as well as Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization. She's been used to normalize Donald to women. We will no longer support the stores that support her.

If you thought the tape of Donald Trump bragging about sexual assault to NBC's Billy Bush was bad, buckle up. Multiple TV producers say there's worse footage, much worse, of Trump saying sexually predatory and extremely racist things. But NBC is refusing to release the footage. In fact for years now, the network has been protecting Trump. We can force the NBC and MGM, the studio that now owns the unaired footage from Trump's reality TV show, to stop protecting Trump and release the rest of the tapes.

We vote with our dollars! Having Trump brand merchandise in a store supports values that go against everything the United States stands for.

Corey Lewandowski works for the Donald Trump Campaign while still getting paid by CNN. This is a conflict of interest. He needs to resign from CNN

This petition is needed because Pawtucket has been through enough with the PawSox fiasco and the closure of the Memorial Hospital Birthing Center and ICU. Why is it always Pawtucket that gets abused? From Larry Lucchino(PawSox) to Dennis Keefe(Memorial hospital) to this slumlord, Pawtucket lacks any sort of defense against the governor and state house leaders allowing wealthy individuals to come in and ravage our local economy and suck every last dime out of our struggling community.

Working at a fast-food restaurant like McDonald’s means dealing with rampant sexual harassment. A new report finds that four out of every ten women working in fast-food face sexual harassment on the job – more than 60% higher than other industries. Not only do fast-food workers get paid too little to live and support our families – we’re forced to face sexual harassment on the job. McDonald’s has the power to crack down on sexual harassment at their stores. They can increase punishment for offenders and make reporting easier for targeted employees. Instead, they keep silent. Worse, they IGNORE the people brave enough to come forward and reach out for help on their own. It’s wrong – and it needs to stop now.

Everyone's voice should be heard in our democracy – but that’s not happening right now. The Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision was a terrible mistake. It's allowing big corporate donors to drown out the voice of everyday voters. Like you, I'm sick and tired of these billionaires running roughshod in our elections. But what can we do about it? Here's what: Oregon can lead the way. As Secretary of State, I’ll fight to reform Oregon’s campaign finance system. We can pass tough campaign finance limits that directly challenge Citizens United. Time and again, Oregon has led the nation in a progressive direction -- women's suffrage, popular election of Senators, public beaches, the bottle bill, and more. It's time to do it again. Let’s take a stand in Oregon: Corporations are not people and money is not speech!

Bayer and Monsanto are already giant corporations. If allowed to merge, they would control enormous market share in GMO seeds and related pesticides. This is the latest in a series of big agriculture company mergers — leaving just a few companies with control over the building blocks of our food system. This consolidated market leaves farmers with fewer options and higher prices, and it results in fewer real options for everyone at the grocery store. Monsanto and Bayer already exert outsize influence to downplay the negative consequences of their products, including neonicotinoid pesticides, which harm bees and monarch butterflies, and glyphosate, a probable human carcinogen. Federal regulators should block this merger to prevent further corporate control of our food supply. Sign the petition to the Department of Justice to reject this mega-merger!

Taxpayers in the United States can not sustain the on-going egregious practices of fraud and malfeasance by banks who have been fined by DoJ, regulatory bodies and state attorneys.

Any candidate for the President of the United States must be closely scrutinized and ultimately held accountable, especially when evidence for blatantly criminal behavior exists. The IRS must begin investigating the Donald J. Trump Foundation immediately - before the November 8th election - and refer the matter to the DOJ as soon as possible.

The purpose of the free press, as enunciated by key founders of America, was to keep the citizenry informed, engaged, and in dialogue with one another about the crucial issues of the day. The health of any democracy can be diagnosed by the degree to which information flows freely in the culture. Anything that interferes with that free flow of information is a form of censorship, which acts to derail, distort, and deny the efficacy of any true democratic experiment. Why is no one mentioning that the corporate media is controlled by seven corporations with conservative boards which dictate what news will be printed or reported? Evidence: if you haven't read or heard about the Downing Street memo; that the Iraq action was an illegal invasion and occupation which violated the Geneva Conventions, the principles of the United Nations, and Article VI of the US Constitution; that Osama bin Laden is not wanted by the FBI for 9/11 because it says it has no evidence against him; that World Trade Center Building #7, one block away from the other Trade Center buildings went down in its own footprints in only one second more than the other buildings and was NOT hit by a plane--these and more show that the news has been restricted and censored. We should fight to break up the monopoly that the media has become so that the public can make educated decisions. The evidence of a vigorous democracy is a free press. We do not have that. We petition the US Representatives and US Senators to pass legislation that would break the monopoly of the present corporate media with no corporation owning more than one medium.
