I have repeatedly reported Donald Trump and those on his page on FB for hate speech. His posts insight rhetoric that is a catalyst for violence against Muslims. One reader even suggested they should all be killed. Even this was rejected by FB as hate speech. Enough.

Decent and innocent people are being attacked in part because of reckless rhetoric in the name of shameless self promotion of people like Donald Trump. It must end now. Donald Trump owes it to all Americans and all Muslims to help put an end to this type of ugly violence here in America and all Americans(including those in Washington and on every major news network) need to stand up and put immense pressure him to do so.

In the state of Kansas, under the Personal and Family Protection Act, it is legal to concealed carry a handgun without a permit or training. Under a state or municipal building exemption, public universities and colleges are not currently required to allow firearms in campus buildings, but this exemption expires on July 1, 2017. After that date, concealed carry will be allowed in campus buildings unless “adequate security measures” are put in place. Considering the costs and planning required to implement “adequate security measures”--there are over 800 buildings on Kansas public university campuses--there is no practical way to maintain gun-free campuses without amending the law. The Kansas Coalition for a Gun Free Campus and the undersigned university affiliates and other concerned citizens believe that the presence of firearms on our campuses fundamentally alters the nature of the work we do at institutions of higher learning. Numerous Kansas college affiliates have already voiced their concerns, including University of Kansas Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, KU Senate President Michael Williams, and forty Kansas State University distinguished professors. Among the reasons cited for prohibiting the possession of firearms on college campuses are: 1) More accessible weapons means more opportunities for intentional gun violence and accidental discharge. 2) Students, faculty, and staff of color will be disproportionately affected and will be especially vulnerable. The LGBT community, people with disabilities, and other underrepresented groups will also be disproportionately affected. 3) There will be a greater risk of successful suicide attempts, especially in student dormitories and private offices. 4) The presence of firearms limits academic freedom by creating an environment of intimidation and fear. These are just a few of the many reasons guns do not belong on college campuses. Kansas gun laws allowing concealed carry on campuses will also discourage highly qualified prospective students and faculty from considering our colleges and universities for study or employment; as such, the quality of education will suffer. We disagree with the notion that arming our colleges will protect us in the event of an active shooter, as it would create confusion and potentially undermine the efforts of law enforcement. Since Kansas does not require permit or training, the chances of successful civilian intervention are even more unlikely. Additionally, as indicated in the arguments above, active shooter situations are far from our only concern. It is clear to us, the undersigned, that firearms should not be allowed in our classrooms and other campus buildings. We will not rest until Kansas legislators amend the law to address our concerns.

One in 4 kids in Maine is food insecure--but Shaw's Supermarkets has announced it is ending its food donation programs in Maine, just as the cold winter and holiday season is approaching. The Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program in Brunswick, Preble Street shelter in Portland, and Good Shepherd Food Bank are just a few of the agencies that have relied on Shaw's donation. By donating food that is not selling well or nearing the expiration date, grocery chains can help alleviate hunger and reduce food waste at very little cost to the company. Local Shaw's employees have expressed interest in continuing these programs—but to convince the corporate higher-ups, we all need to speak out.

This is a request to design a Rock Hudson USPS Stamp. He was a Hollywood legend and a lot of people loved him. It would be a brilliant idea to honor his memory so please design a Rock Hudson stamp for everyone that loved him and his looks and his charm and his movies and his plays and his TV shows. Thank You, Susan Kimble

Donald Trump is a racist who has made countless inhumane and racial remarks about minorities, treating them as if they are subhuman and as though he has no compassion for anyone who isn't of his own demographic. If Donald Trump is in office, he will make many enemies for us in the United States, ruining our safety and possibly our freedom as a nation. This man is narcissistic and senile and unless he plans to seek help and get medicated, he shouldn't be making it this far in the race to be president and he CANNOT BE IN THIS COUNTRY. KICK HIM OUT.

This Friday, December 11, Donald Trump will be the keynote speaker for the Pennsylvania Republican Party. Tickets to the event cost from $1,000 to $10,000. In light of Trump's recent unconstitutional call to ban all Muslims from entering the United States, we are demanding that the PA GOP rescind their invitation to Trump. If they do not, it means that they support Trump and his outrageous positions.

The Republican party must dump Donald Trump as a candidate and stop promoting his hateful, dangerous words and actions. Trump's idea calling for the ban of all Muslims in the United States is one of the worst ideas to come out of any candidate to run for President of the United States. This type of irresponsible statement is wrong-headed, inconsistent with our American values, and endangers our security. We are not at war with Islam. We should work in partnership with Islamic nations and patriotic Americans from all religions to take on the terrorist group known as ISIS. We should embrace citizens of every religion and recognize the partnership that we are united in taking on terrorist forces.

April 8th, 2015, Al Shabaab terrorist group stormed the Garissa University in Kenya, Africa and killed 147 innocent students. Please sign the petition to rename that university from Garissa University to Garissa Memorial university as an honour to those who died and as a reminder to the future generation of what had happened.

The students and parents of the Antelope High School Band and Guard program do not support the change of ideas and direction of the program nor the removal of Sonora Mello as the director.

Progressives support Hillary and she can defeat any GOP candidate. Endorse her!

We're testing all of the things!
