Governmental interference is not a right! Tyrrany, even by our western allies, is still tyrrany! I would not want the U.S.A to say I cannot educate my children as I see fit. By condoning other countries, we are one step away from allowing this invasiveness in our country.

Vladimir Putin is starting on the same road Adolph Hitler did in 1939. If the World stands decisively against the Russian invasion of the Ukraine the mistakes of the past can be avoided. I would like to avoid my sons dieing in Europe so save world freedom because politicians would not choose the right.

We give lip service to LBGT rights being abused in Russia and civilian casualities in Syria, yet say absolutely nothing about Israel's whole sale destruction and confiscation of Palestinian land and brutalizing and killing of her citizens.

We the people of Venezuela that proudly live in United Sates and around the glove, have learned to respect the laws and the constitution with its principles. We ask you in the most humanly possible way, to please open a dialogue with the Venezuelan Government, so that its citizens can choose freely another president that can help the country move on from the current dictatorship. We can now see that President Maduro is not properly representing the citizens, and also lacks the necessary education to represent Venezuela in any issue. We the Venezuelan people ask for your help to stop the insecurity, violence, starvation, and murder caused by the legacy of Chavez dictatorship and now followed by Maduro and his cabinet of corrupt politicians

Our people need help, the international community is not saying anything and is not getting involved. This is the land of the free and we are begging you to listen to the cry of our students in Venezuela

I am urgently starting this petition because people are dying right now on the streets of Kyiv. Under sniper and machine gun fire, as well as under attack of gangs composed of of civilian criminals, organized, armed and supported by the police. Victims include medical workers and journalists, there's no accountability of any kind. The government of Ukraine keeps portraying demonstrators as extremists, while using absolutely criminal tactics and committing atrocities every day. The media in the US is playing neutrality, so crimes against humanity are going virtually unnoticed. Please, show your support and help stop this!

Ukrainian people and the democratic world community is asking President Obama and the U.S. Congress to take immediate action to prevent future atrocities in Ukraine. The dictatorship regime supported by Kremlin has orchestrated bloody violence on the street of Kyiv and used military force against peaceful demonstrators. As a result, dozens of unarmed civilians died, thousands are wounded and in critical condition. Ukrainian nation is very peaceful and in the course of Orange Revolution of 2004, millions of Ukrainians expressed their nation's will without a singe act of violence. For the last three months, Ukrainian protesters courageously endured sub-zero temperatures around the clock in the hope that the voices of the people of Ukraine would be heard, and a peaceful compromise can be found. However, Yanukovich and his MPs were not interested in the peaceful resolution and initiated killings of their own people. They used snipers, grenades, water canons in sub-zero temperatures and AK-74 against peaceful demonstrators which violates UN convention on human rights. An immediate action is needed on the part of the US government to influence the government of Ukraine to stop the bloodshed, to withdraw any military force and meet protesters' demands by legislative, political and economic reforms. We believe you can help! Thank you.

Victoria Nuland in a bugged phone conversation with Geoffrey Pyat (US ambassador to Ukraine) has clearly shown intrusion into Ukraine's internal affairs by a USA diplomat (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv7qy7jot30). Her conduct is contributing to destabilization within the country and escalation of violence which is claiming lives. Foreign interference heavily contributed to civil war in former Yugoslavia 20 years ago, which resulted in 140,000 deaths. Let's not repeat this mistake again, let Ukraine fix internal issues on their own.

vENEZUELA AN ITS PEOPLE NEED THE SUPPORT ON THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY TO STOP THE cASTROS FROM CONTROLLING OUR COUNTRY (I AM A VENEZUELAN BORN US CITIZEN). CUBA OR THE CASTROS WITH THE WEALTH OF VENEZUELA CAN DO MUCH HARM IN OTHER LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES. THE STRATEGIC POSITION OF VENEZUELA IN THE NORTHERN OF SOUTH AMERICA IS OF THE GREATEST IMPORTANCE AS WELL AS IT NATURAL RESOURCES SUCH AS OIL, IRON, GOLD, DIAMOND, BAUXITE, ETC.

Have you heard? Our government is negotiating a pact with Afghanistan that could keep U.S. soldiers on the ground there through 2024. It's beyond time to bring our troops home and finally end the war in Afghanistan. I've proposed bipartisan legislation that calls for a simple standard: Congress must approve any troop presence in Afghanistan beyond 2014. Tell the White House: Without a new authorization from Congress, our troops must come home by the end of 2014. Afghanistan has already been our nation's longest war, even though we long ago achieved the original mission. Rather than commit to another decade, let's end the war. Sign my petition: It's time to bring our men and women in uniform home from Afghanistan. Let Congress vote. Senator Jeff Merkley

Last November, the United States and our partners in the international community reached a breakthrough agreement with Iran that allows negotiations to begin that can remove from Iran the ability to covertly obtain a nuclear weapon without resorting to military action.  The six-month deal provides unprecedented daily access to nuclear facilities in Iran, while halting or reversing important components of their current nuclear program. In exchange, the United States will provide limited and immediately revocable relief from some sanctions that leaves in place existing severe restrictions on their oil and banking industries.  Some will argue that we cannot trust Iran — but we do not need to trust Iran to choose to give these negotiations a real chance. Any final agreement will provide the U.S. and our partners with unprecedented access to their nuclear program to prove, on a daily basis, that their intentions are purely benign. If Iran walks away from the negotiating table in bad faith, then the Senate should debate new sanctions. But now, let’s give the Obama Administration and their partners the room to work out a peaceful resolution to this long-festering crisis before voting on any additional sanctions or other efforts that would undermine diplomacy.

The yearly joint military exercises between US and South Korea have created escalation of tension on the Korean Peninsula Last year there was a sharp increase in tension between South and North Korea with the North Koreans readying missiles for launch and the US sending nuclear capable B-2 Stealth Bombers. The North Korean government has sent an open letter last month asking for cancellation of the 2014 joint US-South Korea military exercises. Although the US and South Korea claim these exercises are "defensive" in nature, It simply defies logic. South Korea spends three times as much on their military than North Korea. US spends more on their military than the rest of the world combined. Who should be on the defensive? President Obama. Please stop the militarization of the Korean peninsula and start a diplomatic process by cancelling the exercises and use the opportunity to find a peaceful solution.
