Congress: Require Public Reporting on Drone StrikesThere's been a huge discrepancy between what the government has publicly said about who has been killed by U.S. drone strikes - in particular, how many civilians have been killed - and the record of independent reporting. Because of the secrecy of the program, there's been little accountability for this discrepancy. Reps. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Walter Jones (R-NC) have now introduced legislation (1) – the Targeted Lethal Force Transparency Act – to require an annual report on the number of combatants and civilians killed or injured annually by U.S. drone strikes. The requirement is retroactive for five years. It also requires that the report include the definitions of combatants and civilian noncombatants used. This bill would increase the transparency and accountability of drone strikes, a goal that has been endorsed by President Obama, CIA Director Brennan, and others in the intelligence community. (2) The Targeted Lethal Force Transparency Act has been endorsed by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. (3) Urge your Representative, your Senators, and President Obama to support this legislation by signing our petition.

Antipersonnel Land mine banMillions of landmines are left behind as reminders of conflict in war-torn places like Colombia. We need to conclude the policy review to ban antipersonnel land mines. I was born and raised in Colombia, a beautiful country that has the dishonorable 2nd place for land mine incidents.55 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Monica Mendoza

President Obama: Investigate Civilian Deaths in Datta Khel StrikeThree years ago, on March 17th, 2011, a U.S. drone strike hit the small town of Datta Khel in Pakistan killing a large number of tribal elders devastating the people of Datta Khel, as well as the surrounding communities. Since this strike, one of the largest in history, the American government has yet to even acknowledge that the strike even occurred, or provide any other details on the incident. When civilian deaths have been alleged, as they have been in Datta Khel, the public has a right to understand the merit of these allegations, and the government has a responsibility to tell us the truth.662 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Timothy Molina

We still have time to kill the Trans-Pacific Partnership!The Trans-Pacific Partnership is set to create a virtually permanent corporate rule over the people. This is the trade scam NAFTA globalized, a devil's deal that has nothing to do with trade and everything to do with corporate protectionism — of the 29 chapters in the TPP, only FIVE actually cover trade issues! Lax food safety regulation, unregulated fracking, overseas job shifts, rocketing drug prices, Internet monopolies, slashes to public services to profit Wall Street robbers... these are just some of the effects the TPP's passing will have on our world. And we can't let corporate interests and their money control our future! Don't let your government pass this corporate coup d'etat. Call on the US to back out of the TPP now and let the public know what has been happening behind closed doors with corporate representatives!55 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Demand Progress

S.O.S VENEZUELAThe Venezuelan people have suffered for 15 years the imposition of a totalitarian regimen that progressively has limited freedom and peace. Gross violations of humans rights seen for the past two months have been well documented by the Venezuelan people through the social media due to the lack of independent media outlets. It is urgent for the US to stand with the Venezuelan people and to promote the universal values of freedom and human rights.37 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Teresita Ruoff

Tell the Senate: NO to the SOPA salesmanThe TPP will have ruinous consequences for free speech on the Internet by expanding already ridiculous copyright protections and laying the groundwork for internet censorship. If confirmed by the Senate, Holleyman would be working to ensure that these anti-free speech provisions are enshrined in the TPP for good.130 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Demand Progress

Stop Illegal Israeli Settler ExpansionI am starting this petition because the US gives Israel $8.5 Million per day, and that's only the direct aid, when Israel's settlement expansion is illegal under international law, is declared by official US policy to be "an obstacle to peace," and we could use that aid to Israel at home.161 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Charles Keating

BOYCOTT VODKA FROM RUSSIARussia's invasion of The Crimea and intent to invade the Ukraine has "Third Reich" written all over it. Millions were brutally murdered, in addition to those killed in the world war which quickly followed Hitler's invasion. The world waited too late before intervening then and this should not happen again. I think citizens in addition to governments can put pressure on Putin and his henchmen to stand down and to let them know the world is against them. La invasión rusa de Crimea y la intención de invadir la Ucrania es exactamente lo que eran objetivos de Adolf Hitler en Europa. Y millones fueron brutalmente asesinados (además el comienzo de una guerra mundial) ocurrió antes de que él fue detenido... Creo que los ciudadanos además los gobiernos pueden presionar a Putin y sus secuaces que se retiren y hacerles saber que el mundo está contra ellos.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kevin Taylor
