Hold The Media Responsible - No More Info About The GunmenPlease Stand Up and Demand that the media STOP posting pictures and telling the stories of the sick gunmen that are terrorizing our country!! Talk about the event and tell the stories of the heros and victims instead! The Oregon gunman was quoted on the news for posts he put out about other shootings stating "A man once totally unknown is known by all" and "The more you kill, the more limelight you get" This was confirmed by our media by posting his picture over and over talking about where he lived, why he did it, etc... etc... They need to STOP giving these sickos what they want, a national forum for people to know their name!! WE NEED TO STAND UP AND DEMAND THIS!! The media is literally encouraging future acts of mass violence against other innocent people with all of their coverage on these sickos... THEY ARE ENCOURAGING IT!! PLEASE WE NEED TO ALL STAND UP AND DEMAND A CHANGE!! FOR ALL OF OUR SAKE!!!30 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jaclyn DiProspero

Prevent Sedona, Arizona, from becoming a National MonumentThere are approximately 80,000 residents in the proposed area and would become inholders and subject to many new regulations and restrictions that were not in place when the people moved in and invested in this area. The proposed area is in violation of the 1906 Antiquities Act. The additional costs for city and county services, such as roads, sewer, water, and power will have to be paid with a shrinking tax base due to the number of properties that will be removed from the tax rolls. This means significantly higher taxes that will force many people out of their long-time residences. This snowball effect puts the present schools and social services in peril.23 of 100 SignaturesCreated by gerald Slakoff

Celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day in VirginiaThis October 12, it's time to celebrate the contributions of Indigenous People to Virginia and the United States. In the wake of the first federal recognition for a Virginian tribe, we need to acknowledge that our history books were presenting only one side of the story. In 1492, Columbus began a conscious campaign of extermination policy, and in 2015 we can take action to rewrite history.565 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Benaiah Walters

Stop the butchering of stray animals.We ask that the Malaysian Government to stop the indiscriminate slaughter of stray animals in response to rabies concerns. Two people have tested positive for rabies. We ask that DBKL change their policy of euthanizing animals after 1 week after not being claimed. We ask that DBKL set up an adoption center where these animals can be treated humanely while waiting for new homes. We also ask that a reasonable time limit be negotiated in cooperation with the animal shelter/rescue operators if animals are not adopted. We ask that funding for the euthanasia be redirected to adoption and sterilization. We ask that TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) be instituted and that Rabies vaccinations be administered at the same time the animals are neutered/spayed. Tipping of right ear as identification. We strongly believe that managing instead of killing is the most humane to control the population and by vaccinating. We believe, as does the WHO, rabies will be contained and then eliminated.626 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Stefan Karlic

Govenor Brown support your workforceI work in the San Francisco Bay area but can not live near my work. I have a 58-mile commute adding to global warming and climate change. I Agree with Governor Brown's calls to action to change our behaviors and save our planet. I believe the governor should do all he can to address this issue and compensating his employees so they can live where they work could go a long way in reaching his goals.583 of 600 SignaturesCreated by William Hall

Please Sue BDS QC for Their Libelous Signs about Prime Minister HarperBDS QC has posted legal election signs in French (see link below) that mention: "Israel Assassinates Palestinian Children. Harper Applauds." I highly doubt that Canada's Prime Minister has ever applauded the deaths of any children, and as such view the signs as libelous. This is an excellent opportunity for Prime Minister Harper to clear his name and at the same time help children, as I am confident he always does! http://ici.radio-canada.ca/sujet/elections-canada-2015/2015/09/28/022-elections-pancarte-controverse.shtml249 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Murray Levine

Urge Mark Lazarus to Stop the KillingsEvery day our free-roaming cats face life-threatening situations, none more dangerous than cats and kittens being taken to the Horry County Animal Care Center. Please sign our petition; tell Horry County Council it’s time for a change. Implement the existing Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) ordinance under Small Animal Management. A humane shelter gives animals a second chance at life. Tragically, Myrtle Beach cats get death. It’s time our shelter progressed to saving lives, not killing them. Felines in Horry County are under constant threat; 90% are killed each year. Now is your chance to help: Sign the petition and add your personal comments if you like.432 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Karen McGranahan

.@nytimes: Don’t focus attention on Oregon shooterDouglas County Sheriff John Hanlin told reporters he refuses to name the gunman behind the shooting rampage at Oregon’s Umpqua Community College that left 10 people dead and seven others injured. “I will not give him the credit he probably sought prior to this horrific act of cowardice,” Hanlin said. “You will never hear me mention his name.” [1] In addition to respect for the victims and their families, Sheriff Hanlin has a very good law enforcement, public health justification for his position: research indicating that mass shootings in the U.S. are “contagious,” and that mass media focus on the identity of the shooter is a key means of contagion. [2] On August 27, the New York Times published an op-ed calling on major media to change their behavior. [3] Yet the morning after the shooting, the most prominent position on the New York Times website was occupied by an article about the identity of the shooter. If we can curb media "looping" of acts of horrific violence and their perpetrators in domestic reporting, that will establish a precedent for foreign policy reporting about terrorism. That will help contain future war fevers. The New York Times by its actions sets standards for other “responsible media” in the United States. Urge the New York Times to rethink its editorial policy by signing our petition.

Force the State of Alabama to keep DMV offices open in all counties.I am a native of Alabama and just moved from the state after a lifetime of residency. I think this move is targeted at low-income people, especially in regards to the ability to vote. The ability to obtain a government-issued I.D. is very important for many reasons, and the state should take other measures to save money.690 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Christopher Ivie
