• Racism Does Not Belong On Television: Tell CNN To Fire Corey Lewandowski and Scottie Nell Hughes
    In a shameless move to increase their ratings, CNN is providing Donald Trump supporters Corey Lewandowski and Scottie Nell Hughes with paid positions and a national platform to promote Donald Trump’s hatred and racism. Even worse, CNN is hiring Lewandowski and Nell Hughes in order 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 someone 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. By hiring Scottie Nell Hughes, CNN is demonstrating that it is willing to promote the opinions of an individual who has defended Donald Trump’s use of anti-Semitic imagery on Twitter and has promoted riots at the Republican National Convention. If we want to stop Donald Trump’s racist rhetoric from spreading, then we keep biased political commentators like Corey Lewandowski and Scottie Nell Hughes from appearing on networks like CNN. We demand that CNN terminates Corey Lewandowski and Scottie Nell Hughes’ contracts and removes them from the network immediately!

  • Stop the Islandia Casino Now (exit 58, where the Marriott is located)
    *Updates noted at bottom. WE REJECT that, after OTB admitted major losses ($30 million), Albany’s answer was the Casino, placed in the midst of an established residential, school and business area. WE REJECT the huge FINANCIAL AND SOCIAL BURDENS that will befall our suburban and semi-rural communities: dramatically increased traffic, property taxes, theft crimes, fire/ rescue calls, and property depreciation. WE REJECT the proposed Las Vegas-style neon signs and billboards advertising the casino along our suburban highways. WE REJECT the political deception because a vote against the casino referendum was still a vote for the video lottery terminals (VLTs). WE REJECT the Board of Trustees in Islandia voting for this project. The majority of community came out to the town meeting voicing opposition to this project in our neighborhood. Residents of Islandia and surrounding Islip, Hauppauge and Smithtown are saying NO. Petitions by hundreds of residents were submitted. No Casino! THEREFORE, we call upon you to immediately rescind the authorization for 1,000 video lottery terminals in each county to be operated by Nassau and Suffolk County Off Track Betting (OTB) corporations. We ask the Senators and Assemblymen to co- sponsor and pass Assemblyman Fitzpatrick's Bill A.5187 to repeal Video Lottery Gaming on Long Island. Update: Islandia officials cancelled a meeting Tuesday July 12th at where they were to vote on this controversial Suffolk OTB plan to open a mini casino in the village. The Board has not stated on their site new date. Unite, spread the word, starting with Islandia and the neighborhoods in the 10 mile radius of this project. Because this is a TIME SENSITIVE ISSUE - Sign the petition - REACH OUT to a friend, relative or neighbor in Islandia - Then share with Suffolk County connections and everyone you know! - Visit Facebook page: A CALL TO ACTION, ISLANDIA. NO CASINO. like page, set to be notified Also email: Allan M. Dorman, Mayor // [email protected] Diane F.

  • Arrest and Prosecute former Rep Joe Walsh
    By openly advocating for violence against the President of the United States over the public airwaves, former Rep. Joe Walsh clearly violated 18 U.S. Code 871 as well as numerous public broadcast standards.

  • Ban fireworks in Las Vegas neighborhoods.
    Fireworks in city neighborhoods are out of control because too many people are shooting off illegal fireworks, which frighten our pets causing them to run away in fear, and disrupt our peace of mind. Over 500 animals were reported missing this 4th of July. Veterans and others who suffer from PTSD are also affected by these loud blasts. The potential for property damage is also high. We are a drought-stricken state and the fire danger is always a threat when people shoot off fireworks. Ban fireworks in neighborhoods. Let people go see them in designated venues where they are controlled and safe. While we are targeting Mayor Carolyn Goodman and Governor Brian Sandoval to receive this petition, we also believe this message needs to go to leaders all over Southern Nevada. There are existing laws banning fireworks in Clark County, but they aren't enforced.

  • Pine Shadows Golf Course Man Camp
    We have family members and friends that live in this area and it will do more harm than good. Property values will decrease and drainage will tremendously affect this area. To house over 1000 new residents in an area that has a one way in and out is ridiculous, because the roads can not sustain such an increase.

  • Boycott Cruise Lines that visit the unevolved Faroe Islands.
    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.

  • Tell Versailles Cuban Restaurant in Miami to Slam the Door on Donald Trump
    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.

  • Wrongful Removal and Adoption
    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.

  • Remove dangerous dogs from our city
    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.
