Where is the progressive voice on the illegal detentions in Guantanamo? People are still being detained without trial for over 10 years--and some who have been cleared of wrong-doing are still in detention. I am personally ashamed that my country is perpetrating this injustice.

Republican Senators like Lindsey Graham and John McCain are demanding that the Obama Administration get the U.S. involved militarily in Syria's sectarian civil war. But after the experience of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, President Obama and U.S. military leaders are right to be wary of these calls. If we don't have enough money for Social Security, veterans' benefits, Head Start, and cancer clinics, we don't have enough money for another war. Urge Congress and the President to resist calls for another rush to war in the Middle East, and support a political solution instead.

The aim of this petition is the revelation of the contents of the Trans-Pacific Partnership to the public and to Congress. The Trans-Pacific Partnership are on-going closed-door talks between the U.S. and Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam; with countries like Japan and China potentially joining later. 600 corporate advisors have access to the text, while the public, Members of Congress, journalists, and civil society are excluded. The agreement would offshore millions of American jobs, free the banksters from oversight, ban Buy America policies needed to create green jobs and rebuild our economy, decrease access to medicine, flood the U.S. with unsafe food and products, and empower corporations to attack our environmental and health safeguards.

The Administration and the U.S. Trade Representative just reached a deal with 11 other nations on the secretly negotiated, massive so-called "free-trade" agreement, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). As the long fought for, recent release of the TPP text proves, the agreement will greatly empower corporations by virtually eliminating consumer, health, safety, labor, privacy, and environmental regulations, enforcing corporate domination over our justice system through offshore corporate investor-state tribunals or ISDS. Despite massive popular opposition to the TPP (despite media silence) on the part of citizens of all party nations, the TPP will now come up for a vote in Congress within months under the anti-democratic Fast Track procedure. Now we are in the fight of our lives to urge Congress to oppose the TPP when it comes up for a vote.

US foreign policy must stop endangering the lives of innocent civilians to achieve its goals. The use of drones in foreign lands have killed thousands of non combatants including hundreds of women and children.

diplomatic immunity has been the cause of multiple abuses.

What did we achieve in Iraq? The deaths of our armed servicemen and women and innocent civilians. And leaving the country in a state of chaos. Are we going to let the same thing happen again? Let's stop regretting and analysising the last war and do something to stop the next one

The United States was once a shining example of truth and justice. Now we have a higher incarceration rate than any other country in the world, and continue to hold prisoners, who have not even been convicted of a crime, in a prison that is notorious for torture and abuse.

Using Drones throughout the world is just as insane as the massacre at Newtown and the bombing in Boston. It destroys the psyches of innocent children and turns the world against us. Drones are vicious and cruel The good people of the USA know better.

The Executive Branch of the US government has a secret program of targeted assassinations done by means of drones acting around the world without oversight or judicial review. These strikes have resulted in the death of thousands of people including hundreds of civilians in countries around the world.

North Koreans who leave their country through China are being sent back to North Korea instead of being allowed to seek asylum or refugee resettlement to a third country.

The Democracy, our Constitution and our Humans Rights are being violated by this illegitime Government. #SOS VENEZUELA
