To stop animal torture within the Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Service division. Mahatma Gandhi rightly stated: "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”

My best friend is IN LOVE with SHINee and I want her to be able to go to one of their concerts if it's the last thing I do. Why hasn't SM brought SHINee to America yet? They could make so much money if that's what they're worried about while making thousands of international fans immensely happy. If you want SHINee to come to America, or would be willing to buy tickets, please sign this petition.

With the race so close, Bernie may not win states his supporters are hoping for, but if we lose momentum that is the only way we lose. We must pledge not only to keep up the momentum but to strengthen it.

Responding to a string of tragic shootings in Kalamazoo County since January 1, 2016 that have left several Kalamazoo area residents dead or badly injured, residents and community leaders are drawing attention to the epidemic of gun violence in the United States and taking aim directly at the companies profiting from it. Gun sales tend to increase after mass shooting events, increasing revenue for the gun industry, much of which is used to influence elections and lobby elected officials to prevent passage of common sense gun regulations at the state and national level. We need to take action as individuals by selling off any investments we have in companies that profit from gun violence and calling on others, especially our elected officials, to do the same. Kalamazoo city and county would not be the first local governments or pension funds to divest from the gun industry. New York City, Chicago, the state of Rhode Island, and the California State Teachers Retirement System, valued at nearly $150 billion, have already acted to sell off, and stop purchasing, investments in the gun industry. For more information on divestment from gun manufacturers, see http://unloadyour401k.com/ Certainly individual behaviors and ideas about guns need to change, but we also need to change the incentives so that gun makers cannot profit from gun violence.

MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are using their positions as TV commentators to actively support Donald Trump’s candidacy – and they just got caught. They recently used their position on MSNBC to hold a “town hall” with only Trump. That’s bad enough, but a recording just leaked of Scarborough and Brzezinski talking in between commercial breaks, like friends who are on the same team. Brzezinski asks whether she should ask questions about deportation: “Do you not want me to do, the um, the ones with, um, deportation?” Trump says “Nothing too hard, Mika,” and Mika says “Okay.” No questions about deportation were asked. At another point, Trump says “This will make us all look good,” to which Scarborough replies “Exactly.” Scarborough and Brzezinski aren’t coming right out and saying they’re for Trump. Instead, they’re using their position on MSNBC to act like journalists, but shape media coverage so that it helps Trump. It’s completely unacceptable, especially given Trump’s racist demonization of Latinos, and his encouragement of violence against those who oppose him. It's an embarrassment for the network and it should embarrass corporate sponsors that their money is reinforcing hate, racism and violence. Join us in telling executives at NBC and MSNBC that if they want to have any credibility with Latinos, they need to take Scarborough and Brzezinski off the air, and replace them with someone who will challenge Trump’s violent and racist rhetoric, not support it.

With cookie season in full swing, the archbishop of St. Louis is asking Catholic parishes to end a century-old tradition of hosting Girl Scout troops. Archbishop Robert Carlson claims that the Girl Scouts are "increasingly incompatible with our Catholic values" because of tenuous connections to organizations like Oxfam and Amnesty International whose political views he disagrees with. Despite conducting a lengthy witch hunt, the archbishop and his staff found nothing happening in local troops that he objected to. Unfortunately, that didn't stop him from writing a misleading letter to priests and troop leaders which makes plenty of vague accusations but omits the simple fact that the Girl Scouts don't take positions on controversial issues like abortion. More than 4,000 Girl Scouts meet in Catholic churches in the St. Louis area. They don't deserve to be held hostage to Archbishop Carlson's culture-war politics.

This election is a fight for the soul of the Democratic party. Are we going to make real change and hold our leaders accountable or not?

I'm starting this petition first off because I'm a strong supporter of equal rights for everyone. This bill directly effects me and would allow discrimination against me because of the people I am attracted to. I think it is immoral for people to discriminate against someone because they do not fall directly in line with someone else's beliefs.

Stop the Cycle ! it's a movement to make a mandatory new law to stop the cycle of domestic violence and sexual abuse on women/men and children (especially children with ADHD or other disabilities). This new law is for the abuser to be psychologically evaluated and to attend mandatory anger management , parenting classes, family counseling, to be assign with a health coach and personal private counseling in hope to reunite family members, child and parent. This new law is especially target for abusers with a confirmed past of childhood trauma, abandonment, neglect, physical and sexual abuse plus a record of past domestic violence . This will help STOP the CYCLE of continuing mental and physical abuse on the next generation of victims and children. I am a survivor of domestic violence from an abuser that refused and still refuses to attend anger management , family therapy, and counseling. The abuse continued and my daughter was sexually abused. Because the abuser denies it, her voice is not being heard because of ADDHD . We continue to receive mental abuse and bullying from abuser that is in denial and refuses to receive help. Together we can prevent further abuse with a mandatory new law for healing. Thank you, Pamela Canellas 786-202-2231

There are too many important issues before the Supreme Court to tolerate a vacancy of almost a year. President Obama was lawfully elected by the people of the United States and has the constitutional power to nominate a replacement for Justice Scalia and the Senate has the responsibility of advising and giving its consent to such a nominee.

The democratic process has been manipulated so much that many people have given up on the idea that their vote actually matters. We need our party to be reinvigorated by unity—and a pledge that we are all in this together. Superdelegates must stand behind the popular vote to ensure a Democratic win in November.
