Much of the hate directed at the US throughout the world comes from its perceived support of Israeli expansion into Palestinian territory. Billions of dollars are poured into a tinder box of ancient hatreds, cultures of violence and illegal land annexations. Stop feeding the fire and save our money for solving our OWN domestic problems.

Our dependence on foreign fuel has involved us in multiple foreign wars and threatens the very nature of our society. Stop our dependence on foreign fuel now and free our society and economy from the horrible drain that such monitoring, policing, crippling investment causes. Develop environmentally and economically viable alternative fuels that would allow us to break this downward spiraling behavior of having to depend often times hostile foreign concerns.

We are concerned we will be pulled in a war with Iran that can easily escalate to the use of nuclear weapons. All it will take is Israel to provoke an attack. War game scenarios predict dramatic escalation within the region from this point, as well as attacks in Europe and the US.

Require tht President of the United States to veto any proposed law authorizing military and/or foreign aid to a country condemed by a majority vote of the General Assembly of the United Nations.

As a veteran with a step-son deployed, I am very concerned with the rise in active duty suicides (one per day), veterans committing suicide (300 per month), the number of troops dying every month in Afghanistan (on average one per day). These numbers aren't even newsworthy anymore. Peace is not treason.

President Obama has declared the War on Terror over with the killing of Osama Bin Laden. End the wars of aggression in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan which is costing us upwards of 3.7 trillion Dollars and thousands of innocent lives.

This petition is about ending military aid to Israel. All of us in the US, as well as in Israel and the Occupied Territories, have been adversely affected by our financial support of Israel's Occupation. It mortgages our children's future to support an illegal Occupation while damaging our reputation, and further endangering our troops, in the Middle East.

The simple reason there are no jobs here is the fact our government allows goods shipped from China. The biggest retailer in America sells 80% goods that come from Communist China. Petition our government to ban all goods imported from china. Stop supporting a Communist country who fought us in the Korean war. And supported North Vietnam in the Vietnam War

My son Jabin Bogan has been imprisoned in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico since April 17, 2012 for simply making a wrong turn. Jabin is a truck driver who was delivering cargo to the El Paso, Texas area on the 17th when he inadvertently ended up on the U.S./Mexico border. Although U.S. border agents directed him to enter the "yellow zone" on the Mexican side and make a "U" turn, Mexican authorities arrested him for carrying several boxes of live ammunition among the other cargo he was hauling. None of which was designated for Mexico which his manifest documents clearly show. What also is clear is that so far, we've only gotten "lip service" from our local elected officials in Texas. Meanwhile Jabin has spent four months in a Mexican prison, wondering why his government does not care to get him freed.

Watching the deterioration of diplomacy with Iran, and hearing threats of war, I've felt deeply concerned that our country and its allies are not making use of proven conflict-resolution techniques such as Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication. All peoples, especially in Iran and Israel, stand to lose enormously if full-scale war breaks out, and it is our duty to do all we can to foster a peaceful resolution.

Iran is threatening to wipe Israel off the face of the map. They are working on a nuclear weapons program to produce weapons to carryout their threat. Should Israel become involved in a war with Iran, the USA should be there to protect its ally.

I am 65 yrs old, lived thru the Vietnam Conflict/War. I hate to see young soldiers killed, maimed, PTSD, etc, it's not worth it. Afganistan has been at some kind of war/conflict since I was at least 17, I remember, and rebuilding???, it looks the same as it did when I was 17. I support the troops 100%, but I am tired of war/conflicts, very tired.....
