I am starting this petition because I am a huge advocate for animals and I know that Ellen is as well. Ellen is a great person that has done many great things for the LGBT community and other people across the United States that are in need of extra support. I am begging Ellen to stop promoting Cover Girl, because Procter & Gamble own the company, and they are not in a hurry to ban animal testing.

"After the death of my brother Patrick Gavin I was appointed heard keeper for the animals by the Department of Agriculture. My understanding was that I would receive the grant monies paid from the department to subsidise the looking after the animals. Read Full Story Here; http://wp.me/p6qBpl-8H I don’t understand how Mr Marren, Solicitor can permit the estate to have it both ways, and I feel I should be awarded either the grant monies paid by the Department of Agriculture for the nine years I have looked after all the animals, or in the alternative I should be paid reasonable farm labors wages and refunds for the expenses incurred in running the farm as appointed heard keeper by the Department of Agriculture. The next of kin cannot have it both ways. They cannot on the one hand expect to receive the monies from the sale of my late brother Pat Gavin’s livestock together with the gross payments received from the Department of Agriculture, without incurring any expense for the minding, looking after and caring for the animals down through the years. As regards ownership of the livestock, I have been totally consistent in claiming that I own half of the livestock and all of the sheep. My ownership of half of the livestock goes back to my youth when my parents encouraged me to take an interest in farming by giving me a number of animals within the overall herd which I with the consent of my brother, Pat was able to have and maintain on the lands. Over the years I added to the original stock by purchasing other stock out of my own monies and by doing deals with my brother, Pat, so that ultimately, by the time Pat died in October, 2005 I owned half the entire herd. Moreover I owned all the sheep as my brother Pat got out of sheep a few years before he died and sold all his interest in the sheep to me. Accordingly, in the referenced years for the purpose of acquiring the Single Farm payment Entitlements, half the livestock on the lands belonged to me and my brother, Pat shared the entitlements with me. There was no differences between Pat and myself in our dealings. In other words we shared the workload, we shared all the expenses, and we shared the profit and income from the land. Bones of Contention with Mr. Robert Marren administrator for the estate; Mr. Robert Marren, Solicitor allowed confusion to arise in relation to the exact disbursement of funds held by him; Grossly delayed, without reasonable explanation, the administration of the estate, the deceased person having died in 2005 some ten years ago; Mr. Robert Marren, Solicitor showed a complete disregard for the interests of the beneficiaries, whom Mr. Marren, Solicitor, knew to be elderly, and by his conduct is depriving two of the beneficiaries, of the enjoyment of their share in the estate; Provided an inadequate professional service and it is not of a quality that could reasonably be expected of a solicitor. There is no good reason why Mr Marren did not “bite the bullet” and pay over the full 1/6 share when he received the funds way back on 27th of May 2013. Being reluctant to resolve the issue in isolation to the rest of the Estate; Not provided the detailed bill of costs to include a detailed breakdown of how the figure of €40,892.53 representing fees paid to Robert Marren & Co. were arrived at; Mr. Robert Marren, Solicitor brought the solicitors profession into disrepute; Denied me a share in the farming profits, to the extent that I was working for nothing over the 9 years in question from October, 2005 through to 2013; Provided an inadequate professional service and it is not of a quality that could reasonably be expected of a solicitor with regards to the explanation he provides to explain how he arrived at his decision to award the moneys received from the sale of Pat Gavin’s livestock together with the Gross payments received from the Department of Agriculture without deducting any expense for the minding, looking after, feeding and caring for the animals for the nine years from 2005 to 2014; Delayed making the decision regarding my share in the farming profits and rightful share of the grant monies received from the Department of Agriculture until the very end with the draft distribution account that contained countless errors on 18th September, 2014. I was lied to countless times and led to believe that I would be refunded at closing by some of the beneficiaries. Why did Mr. Robert Marren, Solicitor, Mullingar make a decision around March 2013 to accept my claim to owning half the livestock and all the sheep? But yet for no logical reason refuses to award me the net amount €xxxxx.11 due to me out of the Single Payment Entitlements representing my ½ share in the profits from farming the lands, which was also sent to Mr. Robert Marren, Solicitor, Mullingar on the 5th of December, 2015 for his consideration. There is no good reason why he took advantage of my good nature and delayed his decision in this matter until the end; Mr. Robert Marren, Solicitor squandered the Estate assets by hiring an additional accountant against my wishes at a cost of €8,751.45; Accounting mistakes and lack of clarity; Forced me to incur additional unnecessary expenses in drafting documents and letters time and time again to prove my claim; Not furnished a detailed statement of all the legal costs to his client. Under Section 68 of the Solicitors (Amendment) Act, 1994 provides for charges to clients. Under these provisions a solicitor should furnish a detailed statement of all the legal costs to his client; Not furnished a copy of Solicitor T & N McLynn’s Solicitors, Athlone Bill of Costs for the handsome fee of €38,941.00; Provided incorrect invoice for Catherine O’Conner Accountant. Catherine O’Conner’s invoice states Total Amount Due €584.25 while Cash Account dated 18th July, 2014 “Fees paid to Catherine O’ Connor €6,857.25; Not provided an invoice for William Penrose B.L. or explanation of why his opinion was sought for €1,230.00;...

We the people, believe Dc Martin is right for the most beloved / feared iconic role of Freddy Krueger.

"If the county wants to make money while people are dying and medically compromised they should just come out and say it." Dr. Philip Fagan Jr., Emergency Department Director at LA Good Samaritan Hospital (LA Times Article 8/8/15) We the undersigned believe that Raves should be banned from taking place in Los Angeles County, especially on land that is owned and/or partially owned by Los Angeles County. The Rave held on August 1 and 2, 2015 at FAIRPLEX, in Pomona, resulted in at least two tragic deaths. Also at least 49 rave attendees were transported by ambulance to Emergency Rooms in several different hospitals in Los Angeles County. Many of these ended up in intensive care. Raves should also be banned as they cause numerous problems to residents who live in areas surrounding the FAIRPLEX. Since the last Rave at the Fairplex (August 1 & 2, 2015), physicians and Emergency Room Personnel have gone on the record against Raves, based on what they witnessed. According to an August 8, 2015 article in the LA Times written by Rong-Gong Lin II and Richard Winton, since 2006 there have been at least 20 drug related deaths from Raves. Almost half of those have been in southern California. Many doctors agree no matter how many precautions are taken by event organizers or emergency planners, they are not working and Raves should end. Here are statements made by Emergency Room Doctors and Nurses regarding first-hand experience with Raves according to the 8/8/15 LA Times article: Dr. Bradford Hardesty witnessed "quite a few who came in with drug-induced seizures. Some couldn't answer questions because they were so drugged. Some extremely aggressive patients had to be placed under constant care and under heavy sedation." Dr. Brian Johnston, Chairman of Emergency Medicine Department at White Memorial Medical Center in Los Angeles: From Raves, teens have come into his ER suffering from heart attacks. "You just don't see that from other events. This is a different animal. When they were doing them in the Coliseum, they had so many casualties that they hired their own ambulances to wait. They know what's going on." Laurie Sepke- ER Nurse at Pomona Valley Medical Center; " You have heat, you have a lot of energy drinks, alcohol, drugs that induce euphoria but also increase temperature and heart rate and blood pressure." Dr. Kenneth Nakamoto- ER Physician at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center; "Ravegoers get so agitated and confused that they can't be controlled.... And we ended up having to admit several to the intensive care unit....it really creates a dangerous situation." Dr. Marc Futernick, Emergency Services Medical Director at Dignity Health California Hospital Medical Center in Los Angeles; "There's something about these events that leads to this rampant drug abuse....and young adults are really getting hurt and paying the price." Speaking of his experience with ravegoers he notes "These were patients that were just really ill. Altered. Comatose. Requiring ventilatory support. Temperatures I've never seen with infections, only with this kind of drug abuse....there's no other way to describe it other than it will melt your organs and do damage to your organs to the point you will die." Dr. Philip Fagan Jr., Emergency Department Director at Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles: "If the county wants to make money while people are dying and medically compromised they should just come out and say it." In addition, many who live near Rave venues such as Fairplex in Pomona where the two day August Rave was held, experienced multiple problems such as: • Hours of nightmare traffic and air pollution from the miles of cars trying to enter and/or leave the area for the event; • Rave lights shows shining directly into residents’ homes; • Noise pollution including loud announcements, 65,000 people screaming, and hours of bass reverberation • Emergency vehicles and sirens in constant operation; • Scores of inebriated/stoned rave attendees invading quiet neighborhoods; • Rave attendees parking numerous cars on residential areas blocking streets and driveways; • Helicopters loudly circling above homes for hours day and night. • Personal property vandalized and many families consciously kept children indoors so as to not expose them to the unruly crowds that were disrespectful and irresponsible (like driving at top speeds through alleys, driving on the wrong side of the street or urinating on resident lawns) Please join us in banning Raves in Los Angeles County. It will help save lives and keep our communities peaceful and positive.

Because the MoveOn administration is either not willing to support the majority will of the MoveOn community, or has a hidden agenda to support another candidate besides Bernie Sanders, that they are not publicly acknowledging. We cannot afford to let obstructionist members of the MoveOn staff subvert the will of the MoveOn community as a whole. MoveOn is either an organization for the community as a WHOLE, or it is sham.

We as soap fans of the cancelled AMC and OLTL are tired and sick of lifestyle cooking, reality and talkshows, and want our soaps back on national television. We want drama in the afternoon not boring talk shows!

The community's support is needed to achieve our purpose to rebuild our church and show to the Central Diocese of the PNCC that we do exist as a parish.

AFTER THE EVENT IN SEATTLE THE BERNIE SANDERS CAMPAIGN NEEDS PROTECTION. THE TIME IS NOW! #ProtectTheBern

Beginning 2007, the world witnessed the arrival of an exciting and fascinating political development -an unparalleled event that seemed unfathomable to comprehend in a society that had for centuries adopted a master-slave cult relationship - put forward the first African American petitioner to petition for the highest elective office in the world's most dominant hegemony since the pinnacle of Imperial Rome. As a Liberian political writer in the midst of such exhilarating life-changing event, I refused to sit by idly without writing about it. It's 400-page volume, precisely detailing "Republican Bigotry Towards Obama in America, " now languishing at the Partridge Africa Publishing for quite some time now, owning to the fact that I've defaulted in installment of fee to the company due to bad health, rendering me unable to work at this time in America. For me, it's not about monetary gain; it's really about the state of my writing career in America and whether or not I have what it takes to compete with well-established authors in such renowned society. This is my dilemma in America. The nature of the book, apart from its reporting aspect, offers also a vivid narrative of the struggle of American Liberalism an whether it will be able to sustain itself in post Obama era, in particular, in the face of continue Republican and conservative assaults in America. This segment of the book is very critical in that if progressivism or liberalism is to prosper and remain arguably the greatest governing philosophy for Americans and the world at large, we liberals must do all we can to ensure that such plan remain our center of focus.

We are starting this petition because our children are paddled and spanked for any small violation of the policy. There are some practices, such as corporal punishment which we need to get rid of because of the fear that it instills in children who are already exposed to a high degree of violence inside the community.

The DNC has only scheduled 4 debates before the Iowa Caucuses, and 6 total, down from 26 debates leading up to and during the 2008 primaries. The DNC barred Democratic candidates from participating in non-sanctioned debates, which means the public is likely to see three times as many Republican primary debates as Democratic ones -- and the Republican debates have been drawing over 20 million viewers! This will give many Americans a stronger sense of familiarity with Republican candidates, which doesn't bode well for Democrats. Additionally, scheduling more debates before Iowa and New Hampshire provides primary voters in these important states a better opportunity to make an informed decision, which will impact who everyone else ultimately gets to vote for. Winning the White House in 2016 depends on getting our message out to the American people -- the vast majority of whom would benefit from Democratic policies. Scheduling more primary debates will achieve this, while also allowing candidates to hone their skills for the general election, giving the Dems a better shot at taking the presidency.
