CRUISE SHIPS TO THE BLOODY FJORDS If you love whales and dolphins please do not book a cruise on any of these Ocean liners until they stop bringing tourists to the brutal ferocious isles in the North Atlantic. The Faroe Islands where the beaches run red with blood, a gruesome slaughter that one Faroese woman described as a beautiful thing to watch. This barbaric practice is called the Grindadrap and it is done in the name of tradition for sport, for amusement and as the Faroese describe it - their national pride, a part of their archaic culture. To the rest of the world it is an obscene sadistic perversion and an indictment on all of humanity. Azamara Cruises Princess Cruises Zuiderdam and Prinsendam Oceania Cruises Nautica Costa Cruises Pacifica Cruise and Maritime Voyages – Marco Polo Silversea Cruises – Silverwind Olsen Cruise lines – Boudicca NCL - Norwegian Star Viking’s Viking Star Windstar and Sage Cruises Carnival Cruise lines, And others These companies need to hear from us and if we love dolphins we need to never travel on these ships for helping to enable the barbarism of the Grind. - Paul Watson SSCS Cruise Ship News has taken up the call to help expose this atrocity.

Versailles is one of the most well-respected Latino restaurants in Miami, and they are allowing Donald Trump to use their space to spread his divisive anti-Latino agenda. Donald Trump's hate filled rhetoric is having a real impact on Latinos. Since Donald Trump announced his campaign, there has been a spike of racist acts directed at members of the Latino community, and many of these incidents can be tied directly to Donald Trump and his supporters. Versailles should not be opening their doors to promote Donald Trump and his hateful agenda. Donald Trump and his rhetoric are not welcome in Miami.

Because I was violated of my Constitutional Rights the 4th Amendment, the 6th Amendment, the 9th Amendment and the 14th Amendment, and everyone that I wrote to in Kentucky has paid me no attention, I want Justice. A lot of families that are moving out of town to Lexington, Kentucky are being torn apart because they want to adopt kids out for money. They are supposed to try and reunite families together, but instead they tear families apart. Something needs to be done because we all have rights; they don't abide by their own rules to help families.

On Friday, June 25th, 2016, two neighbor dogs were running loose and threatened family members at 402 W Hunt St. They viciously attacked my son with intent to kill. It is important to my family and others in this community that action be taken against owner Alison Ricks, that these dogs be permanently removed from our City, and that we be informed as to where these dogs are taken to what their outcome is.

The Democratic Platform drafting committee rejected amendments to oppose the TPP agreement [1] and to oppose the expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank. [2] The TPP is opposed by Secretary Clinton, Senator Sanders, the overwhelming majority of House Democrats, the labor movement, the climate justice movement, and groups concerned about access to essential medicines. The Sanders campaign and the pro-peace, pro-Israel lobby J Street [3] had asked the drafting committee to oppose settlement construction and expansion in the West Bank, which are a key obstacle to a diplomatic resolution of the Israel-Palestine conflict. On Friday, the Obama Administration called on the Israeli government to stop expanding settlements in the West Bank. [4] In Orlando on July 8-9, the full platform committee will consider these issues again. [5] Urge the Democratic Platform Committee to oppose the TPP and to oppose settlement expansion in the West Bank by signing our petition.

In Ohio, we limit to three the number of shotgun slugs a hunter can have in his or her rifle while deer hunting. Why in the world do we offer a better chance of survival to a deer than we do to a nightclub patron? First, as the author of this petition, I want to be clear about my position. I own a handgun and I support the right of other responsible people to also own handguns and sporting weapons. Furthermore, unlike most of the people who are vocal about their right to protect themselves with a gun, I've actually been in situations where I've used my gun for self protection—twice last summer alone, once when a man broke into our home in the middle of the night, and another time when I crossed paths with a feral hog at my farm. But for the life of me, I see no reason why anyone needs an assault-style weapon for self-protection. I get the attraction and enjoyment that some people find in owning these sorts of weapons They are a lot of fun. I also acknowledge that an assault weapons ban is an infringement against the majority of people who use them responsibly. But, dammit, I am so tired of seeing innocent children slaughtered by these weapons. Some people feel a better solution would be to arm everyone. I don't see that working. Not everyone wants to carry a gun, and not everyone wants to live in a world where they feel they need to do so in order to go about their daily affairs. They would prefer some common-sense alternative that would help keep assault-style weapons out of the hands of crazies, criminals, and terrorists. Furthermore, it's reckless to suggest that a gun is the best choice for folks who don't want to carry guns to begin with, who are afraid of them, and who wouldn't put the time in that's needed in order to be proficient in their use. I also know that both sides of this debate arrived at different conclusions about the effectiveness of the federal assault weapons ban that expired in 2004. About the only thing that they agreed on was that it appeared to lower the incidents of mass shootings. That'll work. Is there a Constitutional issue here? That's a red herring, in my mind. As the Supreme Court has ruled a number of times, the Constitution is not a suicide pact, nor is it a device designed to assist mass murderers and terrorists. Of course an assault weapons ban isn't going to stop every instance of mass murder or every type of terrorist attack. Of course there needs to be more effort made to identify the people who truly intend to misuse these weapons to kill children and cut short promising lives. But it might help some. An assault weapons ban is not a perfect remedy, but it's an uneasy compromise I'll accept at this point if it helps keep just one more nut from causing mayhem at just one more elementary school. Addendum: Some people have contacted me to state that it's hard to define what an assault weapon is. Ultimately, that's a legislature's responsibility to define, but here's my suggestion for a starting point--an assault weapon is a firearm with a barrel length greater than 12 inches AND holding more than 11 rounds at a time AND able to fire 30 rounds or more within two minutes. If a firearm meets all three of these conditions, it's an assault weapon. If a firearm does not meet all three of these conditions, it's not an assault weapon.

This petition is to speak for all of the individuals that are simply trying to raise productive members of society. With all that's going on in the world, it is simply not fair to jail a 70 year old woman for whipping her grandchild, while police around the world are killing people with no consequence. It is time to take a stand!!!

Just yesterday a horrible injustice was committed . A loving pet dog was brutally stabbed to death...Nothing was done to this person for this horrible heinous act! No fine, no court date , no slap on the wrist!!! It is an educated fact someone capable of such an atrocity is just as likely to commit such an act on a person, perhaps even a child. Animals have absolutely no voice and no defense up against morality, that is strictly the territory of humans. Numbers are growing more and more everyday, with reports of cruel and hate filled cases, and yet they go unpunished or given ridiculously low fines . Why does a living, feeling creature of God, innocent of a single sin endure gratuitous suffering devoid of reason and justification when we, as overseers to their dominion, could put laws into place to protect them from cruelty? Please help justice be served in this case as well as so many other animals that have died cruel and senseless deaths vulnerable to criminal aggression.

For 16 years Darrell Issa has sat in Congress and collected a pay check while doing nothing to advance the lives of his constituents. For far too long he has represented special interests and conservative right wing nut-jobs. Darrell Issa endorsed Donald Trump for President and this goes to show that he is out of touch with the people of his district, California, and the American people! #DumpDarrellTrump #FireIssa To find out more about Col. Doug Applegate, please visit his website www.ApplegateForCongress.com. We must do all we can to remove Darrell and take back OUR congress!

As Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski was responsible for helping launch one of the most racist political campaigns in recent history - and is now being rewarded by one biggest new cable networks in the United States. In a shameless move to increase their ratings, CNN is providing Lewandowski with a salaried position and a national platform to promote Donald Trump’s hatred and racism. Even worse, CNN is hiring Lewandowski to cater specifically to Donald Trump supporters - since their regular Republican contributors oppose Donald Trump’s candidacy. By hiring Corey Lewandowski as a regular commentator, CNN is effectively validating the opinions of a man who repeatedly denied press access to journalists covering Donald Trump’s campaign, was charged with a misdemeanor after forcibly grabbing reporter who was attempting to ask Donald Trump a question, and who helped normalize Donald Trump’s dangerous and toxic rhetoric. If we want to stop Donald Trump’s racist rhetoric from spreading, then we keep biased political commentators like Corey Lewandowski from appearing on networks like CNN. We demand that CNN terminates Corey Lewandowski’s contract and removes him as a political commentator immediately!
