Johanna is being held hostage in Missouri Foster Care over a malpractice cover up, a false hotline report, and fraudulent removal for county funding. She has been abused in foster care and never abused at home prior to foster care. She has had her mouth busted, a 90 -min seizure in the Christian County Mo. foster Care. She was left with Foster father alone at time of seizure. This child never had a seizure before foster care! She has never been around strangers. The foster mother signed for a spinal tap, they never called us. We have proof they never called. The foster Mother signed for spinal tap without parental permission.! The tap was not successful so a second spinal tap was done!! She was 16 months old at the time and having a stress tachycardia! The caseworkers never called us and she could have died. She is grieving for us we have videos of her grieving for us at CPS visits. The caseworkers signed that we could not visit her in hospital. The Foster Parent's attorney yelled, "I don't care," at the courthouse when I complained about his client and the abuse to my grandchild. Johanna has had her Mouth busted and pink eye more than once. I believe she is being molested in foster care. I now have been forced to file suit against the State. Someone must stand up to the state of Missouri and Gov. Nixon about this abuse of power and fraud, abuse to my grandchild by their lousy system. The complaint advocate is under their paycheck too. M. Bower, 2015. for Truth and Justice in Missouri , (see the facts on Saving Johanna on Facebook, view the foster abuse pictures. )

It is important to encourage all citizens to vote, and it is the responsibility of those with legislative and enforcement power to eliminate barriers and develop simple and easy methods for citizens to register and vote.

Imagine seeing your child for only 56 hours a month! You could see them more often, but the other parent has too much power and won't let you see your child for no reason other than to cause you emotional turmoil. However, they will let someone else see your child more than you. This needs to stop. EQUAL CUSTODY will end this pain.

For the last 6 years,the DOE has given permits to Adult Sports Leagues to use Lower East Side school playgrounds for their games locking out local parents and their kids. These games go on for hours 5 days a week with 50 players at any given time. The adult games taking place on D.O.E. property have little to do with socializing through sports and more with socializing centered around binge-drinking culture where "teams" are encouraged to chronicle their drinking on game nights and off-nights, on Facebook and Instagram, in order to win a $100.00 bar tab for having the "team with the best bar spirit". If the DOE is truly for "Kids first" then they need to revoke these permits for private use immediately.

As a caring human being, and an atheist, I am horrified that Phil Robertson's comments go unchallenged and unremarked. The A&E organization directly funds the continuation of a television show lionizing this man and his family, and gives legitimacy to his hatred. That it was offered as an example of proper Christian behavior towards unbelievers is abhorrent and beyond the norms of civilized human behavior.

LGBT youth suffer from homelessness, depression, and suicide in far greater numbers compared to their straight peers. This is largely caused by the misguided and harmful beliefs that sexual orientation and gender identity are a choice, not an innate aspect of one's humanity, and that any sexual orientation or gender identity other than "straight" is morally wrong. Our LGBT children are perfect as they are; we must stand with and protect them from anyone and everyone who says otherwise.

Iowa has the second largest number of puppy mills in the U.S., which house approximately 15,000 dogs. USDA records show that 47% of Iowa breeders were cited for violations to the Animal Welfare Act of 2014. Of the top 4 dog breeding states, Iowa is the only state without state-level oversight. State oversight will also decrease the production and distribution of sick and genetically inferior puppies, thereby helping to protect consumers.

Prostitution is a form of modern-day slavery. Every day over 15,000 women, men and children in Israel are exploited for sexual services against their will. They are victims of trafficking, fraud, debt manipulation, drug addiction, extreme emotion and physical violence, sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies. The average prostitute receives between 15 to 20 clients per day, creating approximately 1,000,000 sex transactions per month in Israel. No healthy, sane human being decides to work in prostitution out of free choice.

Harvey's makes your hamburger a beautiful thing. But not anymore!! Change it back, Harveys! If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!

I am starting this petition because I feel that african pygmy hedgehogs should be legal as pets in Georgia due to the warm climate in the summer, and cool climate in the winter.

Obama has done a lot of good. Democrats need more time to fix what ails america. The republican solution to a recession is war and get rid of minimum wage. The republican southern states are a good example of destroyed economies. I hope kansas and wisconsin survive the gop voodoo economics. I think Reich is smart enough to beat the koch-gop tea party, who are he'll bent on creating a pretend christian oligarchy. I am old enough to have known more than a few john birch draft dodgers. The tea party is more of the same. Selfish, white supremist, warmongers, all the things that make u.s.a. look bad to the rest of the world. It embarrasses me that people vote for them. Reich would make a good sane, with no baggage like hillary, presidential candidate.
