Make Dragon Ball Super: The Future Trunks Chronicles An Official ShowHelp pitch an idea to Funimation, Toei Animation, Akira Toriyama, and Adult Swim about making a Dragon Ball Super spin-off about the Future Trunks timeline after the Goku Black Arc. I personally think that this can boost Adult Swim's ratings and allows them to have a full evening Dragon Ball Z programming block.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jack Small(A.K.A.LuminousSaiyan27)

End the McDonalds Double Drive Thru LaneMostly, because it made me late for church. BUT ALSO: There are many institutions throughout history that, while innocent on the surface, are the catalyst that leads to divisive and violent political change. One need only think to the chariot matches in Justinian's Byzantine Empire or the revolutionary coffee houses in Bourbon France. In our time, in America's time, this dangerous institution is the double drive thru lane, which has grown in popularity along the same timeline that America has fractured into political tribalism. I do not believe this to be a coincidence. I will speak first to the practical reason McDonalds, in their malevolence, has instituted this perverse system. It has nothing to do with expediting service. Basic logic says that any line which splits and THEN REJOINS INTO A SINGLE CHOKEPOINT does not speed anything any more than a single outlet roundabout. In fact, it's worse than that- imagine a single direction road that goes from a single lane, to a double lane, then back again. The only reason McDonalds uses this system is to make the drive-through lane look one car length shorter than it actually is. It's a scam. As a consequence, for the last four years, each time I wish to buy a cheap burger, I deal with mankind at its foulest. You know who you are. You, the dude in the lifted truck. You, the soccer mom in the Honda Odyssey which somehow compose 45% of the traffic in Winter Garden (Odysseus would be ashamed). You, the tweaker in the 1999 Cadillac with rims and speaker system valued higher than the resale value of your car. You think you've beaten the system. You're just tearing down civilization, one McDouble at a time, like a Visigoth at the gates of Rome or a Leninist cackling as he raises high the head of another member of the bourgeoisie. WHEN YOU GET TO THE DIVERGENCE BETWEEN THE TWO LANES, YOU STOP. YOU WAIT. THAT'S THE ONLY WAY THE ALREADY STUPID SYSTEM MAKES ANY SENSE. You think you're the only one who figured it out, that if you ONLY GO AROUND THE CARS IN FRONT OF YOU and go into the right hand lane, in front of the person patiently waiting, YOU'VE BEATEN THE SYSTEM. You are no better than the person who books it down the emergency lane during bumper to bumper traffic. As long as this foul mechanism persists in every McDonalds drive through, there is no hope for this country. As a civic body we are simply not equipped to deal with a moral temptation of this high an order. There will be no healing, no reconciliation, until a trip for a cheeseburger is not laden with social strife.64 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Luke Bailey

Citizenship of Unborn ChildrenI am a firm supporter of the pro-life movement, and I believe that one of the greatest obstacles in fighting for the right to life is that there is no clear defining legislature that specifically states when an unborn child is granted rights as a citizen of the Unites States. With this petition, we may all be able to make a difference in our local government by making this solution into a reality.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Yeunseo Jung

Close Donald Trump's Twitter AccountEveryone in the country has been affected by the hateful rhetoric of Donald Trump but his recent messages inciting hatred toward Muslims are particularly disturbing as are many of his racist tweets. Twitter must not allow this to continue. For any other user, they would not.157 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Ron Coleman

Replace Matt Lauer with one of the women NBC pushed out to keep him.Women like Tamron Hall and Ann Curry have been passed over [1] for far too long, giving the impression to generations of Americans that women just aren't good enough. It turns out that this negative judgement was being passed on women, both at NBC and most everywhere else, by predatory men who enjoyed keeping women’s status down [2] so that they could force female coworkers to indulge their perversions at the office. Like many other serial harassers in journalism, Lauer’s private behavior also seemed to spill into open, public contempt for women in his news coverage. [3] Did guilt motivate these men to try and prevent women from ever being in a position to hold them accountable? Did their sexual objectification of women keep them from taking any women seriously? Hard to say. All we can see is that their lack of respect for women was integral to every aspect of the behavior and views of the powerful men now outed as serial sex pests, and their iron grip on authority in the media world has stifled the careers of their female counterparts. [4] There’s only one way that we can be sure of breaking the cycle of rewarding predatory men by giving them ever more power. NBC News, please let’s try something new? When you go looking to replace Lauer, make an offer to one of the qualified women that you passed up for his sake.

Twitter: Stop Enabling Trump's Anti-Muslim Hate SpeechDonald Trump's bigotry hit a new low, as he retweeted several anti-Muslim videos from the deputy of Britain First, a far-right fascist party in the U.K.--drawing condemnation even from Prime Minister Theresa May. This isn't the first time that he's used the social media platform to spread anti-Muslim rhetoric--and Twitter needs to stop pretending that Trump's hate speech doesn't have consequences. Since Trump took office, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has recorded a nearly doubling of anti-Muslim hate crimes. And in incident after incident, we've heard anti-Muslim slogans or even simply the name "Trump" used as a rallying cry before racist attacks. Enough is enough. Twitter can't continue allowing Trump to use its platform to encourage violence against Muslims. They need to shut down Trump's account and stop enabling his hate speech.13,234 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Linda Sarsour

Towing Industry Lighting StandardsI am a Wreckmaster in Michigan that has had way to many close calls with public motorists. From operating on the side of the highway to operating on city streets no one cares unless they see the 3 colors of oh crap; those colors are Red/White/Blue. I want to protect my fellow Wreckmasters not only for us as the operators but also for the loved ones and family tied to that individual.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stephen

In support of the real Al FrankenAl Franken is one of our most valuable public servants. He works hard and strongly supports women’s rights. His crude horseplay and unwanted French kiss were wrong, but in no way equate with the behavior of recently uncovered sexual predators.102 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Eloise Hamann

Ask Target to Stop Torturing Turkeys!Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) recently investigated Norbest farm in Utah and found sick animals being trampled and eaten alive. One of the largest turkey suppliers in the nation, Norbest touts its practices as “humane, with the health and comfort of the birds of paramount importance.” But DxE’s Open Rescue team found sickening cruelty. DxE found records showing hepatitis in the farm, as well as birds with massive tumors on their faces. Investigators saw live birds being ripped apart to pieces in the crowded, filthy locations and baby birds with their faces and toes cut off. While investigating the farm, DxE’s open rescue team saw Abby and immediately recognized that she urgently needed medical care - Abby was dragging herself across the farm with a crooked neck. Activists rushed her to receive veterinary care and, today, Abby lives happily at a sanctuary. While Abby is safe from harm, millions of other turkeys are suffering a horrific fate. Sign the petition and ask Target to cut ties with all animal-abusing suppliers. NorbestCruelty.com1,006 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Direct Action Everywhere
