In America, one out of three homes with children has a gun, and nearly 1.7 million children live in a home with a loaded, unlocked gun. Every year thousands of kids are killed and injured as a result. The ASK (Asking Saves Kids) Campaign promotes a simple idea with the potential to help keep kids safe. It encourages parents to ask if there are unlocked guns in the homes where their children play. Parents ask all sorts of questions before their children visit other homes. They ask about pets in the house, discuss allergies and Internet access, and ask questions about supervision. ASK encourages parents to add one more question to this conversation: “Is there an unlocked gun in your house?” It’s a simple question, but it has the power to save a child’s life. 9 children and teens are shot each day in gun accidents 1 in 3 homes with children have guns, many left unlocked or loaded 80% of unintentional firearm deaths of kids under 15 occur in a home Every parent cares about the safety of their children. ASK allows parents to play an active role in keeping kids safe. Any parent can make a difference by asking and encouraging others to do the same. For more than a decade, the ASK Campaign has partnered with over 400 grassroots organizations to spread its message in neighborhoods nationwide. The ASK Campaign is a collaboration between the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence and the American Academy of Pediatrics who promotes the ASK message to its 62,000 members across the country. The ASK Campaign has successfully inspired 19 million households to ask if there are guns where their children play.

Since discontinuing the Run WARREN Run campaign, we the undersigned would like MoveOn to petition it's member as to whether or not MoveOn should endorse Bernie Sanders for the Democratic nomination in 2016. Bernie is carrying on the very issues Elizabeth has been fighting for like: Income inequality, raising the minimum wage, a federal jobs program fixing our roads and bridges, single payer healthcare, overturning Citizens United and more.

"Never before in the history of the United States Navy has a Naval Board of Inquiry ignored the testimony of American military eyewitnesses and taken on faith the word of their attackers."- Captain Richard Kiepfer, MD. Fifteen minutes into Israel's attack on the USS LIBERTY, Dr. Kiepfer was operating on a wounded sailor when he was hit by shrapnel and, with complete disregard for his own personal safety, exposed himself to overwhelmingly accurate rocket and machine gun fire, administered first aid and treated 174 USA Troops for pain and shock and conducted a major surgical operation. Congress has not INVESTIGATED Israel's June 8, 1967 attack on the USS Liberty which killed 34 unarmed Americans and wounded 174 service men. In 2003, an independent commission of experts convened, including Admiral Thomas H. Moorer, USN, Ret. Former Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff, General of Marines Raymond G. Davis, Rear Admiral Merlin Starling and Ambassador James Adkins. They concluded there was compelling evidence that Israel’s attack was deliberate and "Israel committed acts of murder against American servicemen and an act of war against the United States." The esteemed experts expressed their “Duty to the brave crew of USS LIBERTY and all Americans who are asked to serve in our Armed Forces, hereby call upon the Department of the Navy, the Congress of the United States and the American people to immediately take the following actions”: The first called for a new and true Court of Inquiry to be convened. The second, for every appropriate committee of the Congress of the United States to investigate the actions of the White House and Defense Department that prevented the rescue of the USS LIBERTY, including the NSA, CIA and military intelligence. The third called for the establishment of every June 8 to be known as USS LIBERTY REMEMBRANCE DAY. We, the undersigned Call on Congress to honor the USS LIBERTY and Support the Troops by taking the 3 steps listed above! HARD COPY of Petition and signatures will be personally delivered to the Florida offices of Senators Rubio, Nelson and Congressman Webster on Sept. 10, 2015 with an electronic delivery to CONGRESS and President Obama by MoveOn.org

It's time for the characters in the hit musical Game of Thrones to finally start singing.

Because I have over 3,500 Facebook friends, I am often added to several groups a day. It takes time that I could be using in other ways to remove myself. A couple of the groups have endorsed beliefs that I do not share or endorse. I want the freedom to choose which groups I join.

After seeing "Blackfish" and reading "Death at Sea World" and "Beneath the Surface", and doing my own research on killer whales, I strongly believe in this mission.

I have had the opportunity to volunteer at the Illinois State Museum and see firsthand what a vital role it plays in the education of our citizens. More importantly, I've had a chance to work with the amazing staff of the ISM, both on the public side and the research side, and I know they take their mission to heart. Closing the ISM would leave a void in the culture of the state, and these passionate and hard-working people will be caught in the crossfire of the dangerous game Mr. Rauner is playing. Join me in making him understand that people's lives matter.

Chicago was recently ranked 5th in bicycle fatalities with two-thirds of those riders NOT wearing helmets.[1] Our streets are more dangerous than ever with more traffic -- both cars and bicycles -- and more distractions while we're on the roads. Everyday we move at a faster pace. Let's be smart and embrace the statistics -- honoring those who have paid the ultimate price -- and require one of the smallest but most beneficial pieces of protection.

We are appealing to Bayer to change their contraceptive name to one that is not personally insulting to many women and girls, who are now subjected to slander and ridicule regarding being the moniker of birth control, to a name that that does not hold international cultural value as a personal name.

To keep motor vehicles in their lanes until passing the farm area. This would reduce the temptation to increase speed and pass slower vehicles in an area where vehicles frequently enter and exit. Thus it would increase the safety of people and possibly animals that live there. No passing zones are created for work and construction areas to keep people safe why not those of us who work on farms
