Withdraw from Afghanistan NOW!The number of direct and indirect civilian casualties in Afghanistan resulting from U. S.-led military actions is estimated to be anywhere from 9,415 to 29,007. The latest is the murder of 16 civilians, among them 9 children, by a U. S. Army Staff Sgt. in the early morning hours of Sunday, March 11, a soldier who had already served 3 tours of duty in Iraq. Our massive deployment of over 109,000 soldiers in Afghanistan is a strategically flawed and misdirected effort which has bankrupted our country and killed and maimed our young soldiers under ill-defined "national security" sloganeering.61 of 100 SignaturesCreated by R.

Young People in Opposition to Joseph KonyWe, the young people of the United States, wish to show our opposition to the detestable actions of the central African despot named Joseph Kony, the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army. Kony has committed atrocious crimes against humanity in central Africa. Kony and his forces have stolen children from their homes and families, militarized them, and forced them to wage war against their own parents and kinsman. We are calling for support against the kidnapping and murder of children in central Africa on behalf of children everywhere. This issue is of paramount importance to the young voting age and soon-to-be-voting-age population of the Untied States, and we wish to show our opposition in hopes that the government of the United States will take pertinent action to ensure Joseph Kony is brought to justice through the proper international channels.111 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Connor William Richards

Stop the genocide in SyriaCivilians are being shot and bombed by their own government, which won't let service groups like the red cross and red crescent in with medical supplies and food and water. It must be stopped!8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marlene Sarnat

Freedom For SyriaPeople in Syria want democracy. The regime has so far killed over 10,000, detained over 100,000 and injured over 50,000, including women and children. Atrocities against humanity are taking place there every minute by the regime and no one is there to help. The regime is bombing homes with heavy artilleries over civilians and denying people the basic needs for life (water, food, medical supplies, etc.). President Obama has helped save lives in Libya and got rid off the Qadafi. We are calling on the U.S. to intervene and save the lives of innocent civilians by getting rid of the most deceptive and barbaric regime in the world. More than 100 people are being killed every day.142 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Yassin Chickha

Abolish nuclear arsenals!Nuclear weapons do not provide security, they increase international insecurity. When one nation has a nuke, it encourages nuclear proliferation in neighboring countries. They are morally, economically and environmentally destructive!41 of 100 SignaturesCreated by George McShea

And Iran, Iran so far away...Look, the title was a joke used to get you here. Seriously though, first there was Afghanistan, then Iraq now America seems poised to war with IRAN. Peace is never given. It is not a RIGHT. We must fight for it. I realize the Irony of that statement but we must fight those who would start another bloody WAR. I’m tired of war. People, no different from you and I, die on both sides while the rich turn a profit from misery. I hear the drums of war, this time they sound for Iran. Please, I’m begging, no war.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jason Lucero

President Obama: Please Save the Syrian PeopleThousands of peaceful Syrians who demanded political freedom in Syria have been killed by Bashar Al Assad Security Forces. Thousands more are detained or killed under torture. The peaceful city of Homs has been under warlike attack by Assad for two weeks. Please call on President Barack Obama to use his influence to stop the genocide in Syria. The United States is the only country that could stop Russia and Iran from providing Assad with weapons, money, and fighters. Time is not on our side as Assad brutal attack on Homs and other Syrian cities is on the rise.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Reem Haikal

Stop the unConstitutional Wars; we are brokeOur Constitution requires wars to be voted on by Congress but this requirement stopped being obeyed after WW3. The Presidents since then inappropriately have declared war on their own authority. Congress goes along with the usurpation of its powers by funding these illegal wars. Our past history shows that until recently, we engaged in wars only for our own defensive reasons, not for colonial aggression to take away from people of foreign lands their rights to their own natural resources and choice of government. Our past history also did not support wars by us to fight against our own interests for some foreign nation's own interests. The Constitution did not name us as policeman of the world, and we have failed at being one.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Pamela Gill

End the half a century old U.S. embargo on CubaThe world has changed much since the Cuban Embargo's inception in 1960 over 50 years ago. As far back as 1975, U.S. Senator Edward M. Kennedy urged the U.S. government to lift the embargo and normalize relations with Cuba. "I believe the idea of isolating Cuba was a mistake," says Kennedy. "It has been ineffective. Whatever the reasons and justifications may have been at the time, now they are invalid." Now 37 years after Kennedy proclaimed it a dead policy, I, a Cuban-American, son of Cuban immigrants, call for this completely failed policy to end. Please sign this petition to help bring about a new policy that fosters dialogue and productive interaction between our two countries.430 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Eric A. Vasallo

No Israeli attack on Iran! No WW 3 !Everyday you can get on Haaretz News (israeli news), information telling that a War with Iran is very possibily coming up. (http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/u-s-concerned-that-barak-is-pushing-for-israeli-attack-on-iran-1.413537) Have a look at IAEA (http://www.iaea.org/index.html) to see that there is no proof Nuclear weapon is being developped. To be in favour or against Nucelar is one thing, but leading to a war because a country is MAYBE developping nuclear weapon (without proof) is a dangerous action ! Even if Iran was developping Nuclear Waepon, it would be to a deterrence weapon, because it is surrounded by countries that have nuclear weapons (Israel, Pakistan, India). And even some high US responsibles says that Iran would be crazy not to develop nuclear weapon. But it does not ! No more than Saudi Arabia, for which there is no embargo that is taken !! For which we do not care and we allow possible creation of nuclear weapon. Because that country is a partner of the UE, and gives its wealth to the West. Sign the petition and spread the word to avoid a very dangerous action, that may lead to the end of a huge part of humanity, with the aggreement of the public opinion that would have been lured with argument such as "against nuclear weapons" , and in favour of ONLY the West and the rich.18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Fapoke
