United States border patrol agents routinely vandalise containers of water and other supplies left in the Arizona desert for migrants, condemning people to die of thirst in baking temperatures, according to two humanitarian groups. In a report published on Wednesday, the Tucson-based groups said the agents committed the alleged sabotage with impunity in an attempt to deter and punish people who illegally cross from Mexico. Volunteers found water gallons vandalised 415 times, on average twice a week, in an 800 sq mile patch of Sonoran desert south-west of Tucson, from March 2012 to December 2015, the report said. The damage affected 3,586 gallons. The report came amid renewed rancour in Washington over Donald Trump’s desire to build a border wall and his alleged racism towards non-white immigrants. Congress is scrambling to reach a deal on immigration and border security before federal funding expires on Friday, raising the spectre of a government shutdown. In addition to building a wall Trump wishes to hire another 5,000 border patrol agents. Help by signing this petition to let the government know we Americans object to this horrible cruelty.

Obstruction of Justice

The current municipal code allowing dogs off-leash at the local park is overly restrictive. People are not able to enjoy their public park with their dog due to the limited times, and the park is basically empty in the time dogs are not allowed.

I am a disabled veteran and a current employee at the Bedford VA in Bedford, Massachusetts and want these people and any others at any other VA hospital that steals from my fellow disabled veterans to be fully prosecuted. http://www.lowellsun.com/breakingnews/ci_31622260/probe-va-hospital-employees-bought-1m-equipment-family http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2018/01/25/report-says-bedford-officials-ignored-costly-ethics-violations-for-years/0JAaTfG1b9mM8iNfmG5I5M/story.html

My petition is to stop the removal of roadside memorials. Don't take this last remaining piece of our lost loved ones

So national elections accurately reflect the will of the people.

As we enter the third week of the 2018 legislative session, we need to move key legislative leaders to throw their support behind redistricting reform.

As a veteran of 7 years, and a devotee of honest governance, Devin Nunes CANNOT be allowed to continue his wholesale attacks on the FBI, DoJ, and those who are seeking to protect America from a hostile foreign power.

Like everyone else a victim of domestic violence must live separate and apart from their spouse for a full year before he/she can file for divorce. I'm an attorney in North Carolina and help victims of domestic violence obtain Domestic Violence Protective Orders (no contact orders). There is no good reason to make someone remain married to their abuser for a full year (or longer in many cases) before they can petition the courts for a divorce.

I am a 55-year-old female, a single mother of a teen daughter and two grown kids. I have three grandchildren. In 2013 I underwent spinal fusion surgery ( it failed ) that left me full of titanium and disabled. Before the "opioid crisis" and CDC medications cutbacks of 2016 I had adequate pain management. I had an acceptable quality of life that included doing my own shopping, taking my kids where they wanted and needed to go, I hosted many parties at home for my kids and friends. I was an avid fisherwoman and camper, a rabid estate saler and junker. It's all a memory now. Don't let this happen to anyone else. The next patient in need could be you or someone you love.

The American people have a right to require our legislators--our EMPLOYEES--to do the job we pay them to do! This petition requires them to do just that. They cannot shut down the government over petty disagreements. They cannot shirk their duty for 8 years because they don't like who's in the White House either. If they are going to hold a position in the House or Senate, they become an employee of the Citizenry of the United States of America. We elect them and pay them with our tax dollars. Their wealthy donors are not paying their salaries. We the People are, and We the People expect them to do their jobs or resign their position so someone else can do it instead. I am a veteran's widow and the mother of an adult child with a disability. My late husband's Military retirement pay and my daughter's Social Security benefits and Medicare are a critical part of our livelihood. My father is an 86-year-old civil service retiree living on Social Security and his pension. We pay our taxes and we vote. Do your jobs!

New Jersey just inaugurated a new Democratic governor who ran on a platform of legalizing marijuana. As the son of a cancer patient who utilized medical marijuana to bring relief before her death, and a small farmer who wants all farmers to have the opportunity to grow hemp and marijuana, I believe this is a critical moment for New Jersey. We could enact smart, socially just cannabis laws — including amnesty for people convicted of breaking laws against marijuana — or we could hand over control of a new, officially-sanctioned industry to entrenched interests that already wield so much power in this state. We need people-friendly, farmer-friendly marijuana laws!
