Direct To Consumer advertising has done two pernicious things. It has created a nation of hypochondriacs with depression, bipolar disorder, GERD, restless legs, insomnia, seasonal allergies and assorted pain, mood and ‘risk’ conditions; and it has reduced doctors to order takers and gate keepers. Thanks to TV drug ads, patients tell doctors what is wrong with them and what pill they need, coupon in hand.

This petition is about the many slip-ups, and unprofessional actions and mishaps the art institute has created and expects the students to clean up, and to also correct the messes. Also for the important information the art institute failed to tell the students about.

With no competition for Comcast or Direct TV, the costs for services (Internet, Cable TV and Phone) are tremendously high. Time Warner can offer us the same or comparable services for almost HALF of the amount these other companies charge. Vermonters should have the right to this service, and TWC would love to provide it to us.

I live here in The City of St.Louis Missouri at Council Tower Senor Apartment, at 310 South Grand. We have roaches, mold and bedbugs throughout our building. I was invited on Vickie Darlene Newton's radio program in order to bring attention to the tens of thousand's of senior's who live in these inhumane conditions. We want the ownership to bring a civil action against these contractors in order to get the monies back otherwise, The American Taxpayer will pay! Sad!

We do not want commercial drones in Berkeley due to safety concerns.

I feel it is only fair to allow open discourse on the bipartisan views of the American people.

Trying to silence those we disagree with is against all that the U.S. stands for. Discrimination is discrimination no matter at whom it is targeted.

I do not have cable or TV; I rely on online and radio. There is way too much money in politics; buying ads should not be the only way to get someone's message out during campaigns. Open up the air waves.

The LA Times investigation found that while senior Exxon researcher Ken Croasdale studied the long-term impact of climate change on the company's operations, Exxon was "crafting a public policy position that sought to downplay the certainty of global warming." Environmental leader Bill McKibben called this cover-up "unparalleled evil." Read the entire report here: http://graphics.latimes.com/exxon-arctic/ According to the Huffington Post: In a letter to Attorney General Lynch, Reps. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) and Mark DeSaulnier (D-Calif.) argue that a probe is needed, to determine whether ExxonMobil broke the law. Lieu and DeSaulnier's request is based on two independent investigations published by Inside Climate News and the Los Angeles Times, which document research conducted by a number of Exxon's senior scientists. Their findings warned of increases in the global temperature as a result of burning fossil fuels. "In this case, Exxon scientists knew about fossil fuels causing global warming and Exxon took internal actions based on its knowledge of climate change," Lieu and DeSaulnier wrote. "Yet Exxon funded and publicly engaged in a campaign to deceive the American people about the known risks of fossil fuels in causing climate change." "If these allegations against Exxon are true then Exxon's actions were immoral," they added. "We request the DOJ to investigate whether ExxonMobil's actions were also illegal."

This petition recognizes the great service to our democracy that Edward Snowden has provided and demands that he be allowed to return home to the hero's welcome he deserves without fear of prosecution and persecution.

Racism must not become institutionalized by the United States and NBC, and the First Amendment must be protected. This is why Trump must be allowed to host SNL.

I found a picture on my feed, posted by my own brother, of Elmer Fudd hunting a cartoon President Obama in Arab head dress saying, "Shhh... Be vewy vewy twiet.., I'm hunting Muzwums!!!". Facebook says this doesn't qualify as hate speech on their policy, even though it advocates hunting the President, hunting African Americans and hunting an entire religion. We live in a time when there are mass shootings almost daily and pictures like this do not promote a 'safe and welcoming environment,' which is what Facebook's community standards and their response to my report stated is their intent. This isn't the first time Facebook has been lax on its hate speech and community standards rules, and this needs to stop. Politics isn't the issue here, hate is the issue.
