Move On has not embraced Bernie Sanders for President despite his record of consistently standing up for the middle class. It is time that all organizations that stand up for regular working people - stand behind Bernie Sanders and make sure he gets into the debates and make sure he is elected.

Last year, Jackson County passed a ballot measure banning farmers in the county from growing genetically engineered crops (GMOs). Local farmer Elisa Applegate writes that the purpose of the ban was to "protect our traditional and organically grown crops from contamination by the GMO crops legally patented by Monsanto, Syngenta and the other chemical giants." But, the Oregon State House of Representatives has recently decided to step in and pass HB 3212, which undermines Jackson County's bans on GMOs. This bill is an example of the state legislature kowtowing to corporations like Monsanto and Syngenta who don't like it when municipalities vote to restrict the use of their seeds. But this bill doesn't just impact Jackson County -- it can have ramifications all across the state. It's going to take all of us, speaking out together, to reverse this ban on local communities making decisions about what's best for them. Through signing this petition, you'll be making a statement that Oregon's laws should promote the interest of local farmers, not big agriculture multinationals.

The below text is the original content of the petition. It has been changed by MoveOn.ORG; they will not restore the original petition. I would like to thank this commission for their efforts to recommend ethical protections for human subjects. Much work in the form of regulatory and legislative changes are needed. Ethical protections for human subjects are essential considering the past history of non-consensual research by United States Military and intelligence agencies in collaboration with educational institutions such as Harvard, John Hopkins, MIT, Princeton, and Stanford; pharmaceutical companies such as Eli Lily; medical schools and hospitals; the American Psychological Association; the National Institutes of Health, the Veterans Administration Center, U.S. Public Health Service and others. Examples of past non-consensual experimentation include the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, The Manhattan Project, The Willowbrook Experiment, and Radiation Experiments. Mind control experiments such as Project CHATTER, Project BLUEBIRD, Project ARTICHOKE, Project MKULTRA, Project MKSEARCH, Project MKNAOMI and others were often interwoven with radiation experiments and research on chemical and biological weapons. Psychiatrists, psychologists, neurosurgeons and other contractors conducting the work were embedded in a broad network of doctors and some of the research was published in medical journals. Non-consensual victims of experimentation have experienced covert COINTELPRO type tactics including those used in Project MKDELTA . MKDELTA materials were used for harassment, discrediting, or disabling purposes. These tactics were usually trauma based and devastating to the victims. As previously reported to this commission in 2011 and continuing to be reported in increasing numbers to this day United States citizens and others are reporting non-consensual experimentation. In 2011 it was reported to this commission that there were approximately 3000 known victims. Four years later those numbers have grown to over 4000 victims, an increase of at least 33%. Due to past history, previous testimony and statements provided to this commission, and continuing reports of non-consensual research ethical protections for human subjects in the form of regulatory changes are critical. As we understand Subpart A of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) regulations, Protection of Human Subjects (codified at 45 C.F.R Part 46), also known as the Common Rule,existing loopholes need to be closed. For example there is no oversight for some non-federal entities such as private corporations and contractors and foreign entities; and some federal departments and agencies. Oversight is needed for all entities conducting research on American citizens and U.S. persons as well as research conducted on foreign soil. Loopholes allow for experimentation when the identify of the subject is unknown to the investigator (for example Subject 9,543); or when there is no physical intervention or interaction with the subject by an investigator as occurs in remote experimentation. Also, research activities are permitted for some demonstration and service programs for public benefit; department or agency heads can waive consent in certain cases; institutions can register their own institutional review board (IRB); and IRBs can waive consent in certain instances. There are other loopholes not described here. Additional protections are also needed for children, prisoners and those of impaired consent. In light of the testimony given in 2011 and existing loopholes in federal regulations we are shocked and dismayed that the only notable recommendation the Bioethics Commission made regarding the consent process is to add people of impaired consent. Ethical protections for human subjects necessitate regulatory changes. Additionally, criminal penalties must be legislated for research involving human subjects when bodily integrity and autonomy are violated as for other criminals who are routinely punished with convictions for assault, fraud and homicide. Unethical treatment of human beings can only be prosecuted when laws and regulations are in place. Even if a researcher, physician, institution, other is engaged in socially beneficial research that might lead to cures or treatments for devastating diseases it is imperative that each person's autonomy, self-determination, human dignity and constitutional rights prevail over scientific advancement and social benefit. We victims of non-consensual research are being tortured in a most unethical and inhumane manner. We experience COINTELPRO type tactics as well as torture. Children are being experimented upon and tortured. Over fifty years ago American citizens reported being victims of non-consensual human experimentation and reports continue to this day. Over fifty years later we still don't have the necessary reforms to protect U.S. citizens and others from non-consensual research. As a society we must ensure that research subjects possess human rights that are inviolate. This commission includes members of institutions that have participated in unethical research in the past. This commission does not include a single victim of non-consensual research. They have the insight that only a victim could impart. Thank you for your efforts to recommend ethical protections for human subjects. Much work still remains to be done. Sincerely,

New Hampshire Republicans are planning to institute a 30-day residency requirement for same-day registration for new voters. The state legislature should not be trying to prevent people from voting, so this law should not be passed.

I Live in North Bergen, NJ and worked in the school system there for a couple of years. The entire town is corrupted from town hall to the board of Education via the Department of Public works and the Police Department. I've been contacting the FBI, the white house etc... since 2011 and it's been going on for over 20 year, everybody is scared, we need help! I started speaking publicly about the situation 4 weeks ago and since then have found hundreds of supporters from teachers, school staff, the residents, students and even the police. But they all tell me the same thing, they are scared of retaliation if they support the change we ask for publicly. That's why I created a petition to The New Jersey State House, Governor Chris Christie, The United States House of Representatives, The United States Senate, and President Barack Obama, which says: "North Bergen has turned into a corrupt system where everything is set in such a way that democracy has been annihilated as well as the principles supported by our constitution. Please help bring democracy back to North Bergen and clean up the administration from the townhall to the Board of Education! " Will you sign my petition?

The purpose of the proposed residency law bill is to block out-of-town students attending New Hampshire universities from voting in their college town. This would force students to use complicated and costly absentee ballots. Don't let a segment of our citizens be denied the right to vote.

One reason why democracy is the best form of government is because in a democracy more than one person gets to make decisions, which leads to better informed decisions. And one reason why monarchy is not as good because only one person can make decisions.

On Tuesday, May 12th, an Amtrak train derailed outside of Philadelphia and 7 people were killed -- and it could have been prevented. Modern technological advances, like Positive Train Control (PTC) which automatically regulates train speed, can keep trains from running off the tracks. But because of budget cuts, Amtrak can't afford to upgrade their systems with PTC. But just hours after this deadly crash, House Republicans voted to gut Amtrak of even more money. If Congress fully funds Amtrak with the resources it needs to upgrade their safety measures, tragedies like these won't happen again. Tell Congress to save lives and fully fund our infrastructure. http://www.politico.com/story/2015/05/amtrak-budget-house-panel-crash-117904.html

I'm trying to save Logan Summerlin's life and prevent his sons from becoming orphans because of the arrogance of Bay Pines Regional Offices and the VA's St. Pete Medical Center campus. A decade is a long enough time to have resolved matters; still not, and he cannot afford a decade delay with his lung issues . Denying access to care and records abusing the words "classified" and "national security " has impeded a timely treatment plan. Send him to Walter Reed and USF for testing now. Time is not his friend. Urgent! Have the VA call and give his Pulmonologist five minutes of their time!

I am inspired every time I hear them speak. I don't feel that way when I hear the declared candidates speak. I don't think I'm the only one.

When men and women go to fight for us it is our responsibility to make sure they come home. There are some things we can not control many of them do not make it home alive, but it is still our responsibility to make sure they do come home. Our Government sent men and women off to war and have not held up their end of the agreement, many of them are still POW or MIA. This petition is to reintroduce H.R. 231 and I know we haven't forgotten about the men and women still not accounted for lets make sure our Government doesn't forget they still have a job to do.

I'm tired of billionaires and corporations buying our elections and our politicians. It's supposed to be "We, The People", not "We, Big Money". Citizens United is just wrong.
