As a lover of British and Cadbury products I believe one company should not have the right to say what is imported in to the USA.

Google took almost three years to disclose to WikiLeaks it had handed over emails belonging to three of its staffers to the U.S. government under a secret search warrant, the Guardian reports. [1] The subjects of the warrants were WikiLeaks investigations editor Sarah Harrison, WikiLeaks spokesperson Kristinn Hrafnsson, and WikiLeaks senior editor Joseph Farrell. The court orders cast a data net so wide as to ensnare virtually all digital communications originating from or sent to the three, the Guardian says. Google was told to hand over the contents of all their emails, including those sent and received. Just Foreign Policy’s Policy Director Robert Naiman has communicated by email with all three of the named WikiLeaks staffers over a period of years using his Gmail account. Therefore, based on the Guardian report, Naiman believes that Google may have supplied the FBI with Naiman’s email correspondence with the three WikiLeaks staffers. Alexander Abdo of the American Civil Liberties Union said the warrants were “shockingly broad” in their catch-all wording. “This is basically ‘Hand over anything you’ve got on this person’,” he said. “That’s troubling as it’s hard to distinguish what WikiLeaks did in its disclosures from what major newspapers do every single day in speaking to government officials and publishing still-secret information.” Urge the FBI to destroy all copies of correspondence between Just Foreign Policy and WikiLeaks and pledge to refrain from spying on correspondence between Just Foreign Policy and WikiLeaks in the future by signing our petition.

Nearly every other Nero Race has a special term for people who offend them and associated traditions for it. We need to spread the glory of the Fungee Mungee to all corners of Tyrra, and adding it to the official racial handbook is the biggest step towards that goal.

In recent weeks, many students have pushed for more comprehensive conversations about important matters such as race and mental health. If these conversations are to ever take place in a genuine way, our students should be exposed to all perspectives, not just ones they are comfortable hearing. If there is to be widespread engagement in these conversations, every student must feel safe to express him or herself without fear of retaliation and defamation. Thus, the AAS should add a clause barring its members from illicit discrimination particularly in, but not limited to, its allocation of funding. The Amherst College Honor Code states that, “Every student enjoys the right to full participation in the academic and social life of the college, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, ethnic identification, age, political affiliation and/or belief, sexual orientation, gender … economic status or physical or mental disability.” It continues: “Every student bears the responsibility to protect the rights of all to express their views.” It's time for the AAS Constitution to reflect that, and for AAS senators to be held to the same standard as every other student. Only Amherst College students may sign. Read here for more information: http://amherststudent.amherst.edu/?q=article/2014/12/10/amend-aas-constitution-fight-discrimination

I'm tired of seeing useless petitions.

In order for easy passage of emergency response vehicles, the special needs school bus, and commuters and for the safety of pedestrians and for children playing outside, we petition for the Waterleaf HOA covenant to be amended to discontinue the allowance of parking on the streets between 5:30 am - 11:00 am and between 2:00 pm - 5:30 am.

On March 1 2015, St Louis Cemetery #1 will only be open to visitors who are accompanied by a licensed tour guide. Sign the petition to request that the archdiocese adopt provisions that would allow local residents access to this important historic site free of charge.

We have been fighting for backyard poultry for a long time here in O'Fallon MO. Even though we have tried many times to get the law changed, the City Council refuses to listen to reason or the desire of the people of this town. We need help, so please sign the petition and help in the fight for food freedom.

The purpose of the petition is to keep the beautiful St. Louis Cemetery #1 open to the public and possibly offer solutions to the vandalism issue. Just so we're all on the same page. As a comment stated elsewhere, " It is private property, and they could close it off completely and only allow family to visit. They own it, they can do what they want." Also, families on the books won't have to pay to tend to their loved ones; they do however have to register to do so. If families aren't on the books due to errors, Katrina, etc, I'm sure the diocese will look at it on a case by case basis. Again, not ideal for the wife that, on a whim, wishes to see her husband. But that's the red tape. The tour companies, bless them, are equally as taxed I'm sure. Paying extra fees to continue their livelihood. They have nothing to do with this other than being forced to pay to show. Truth, this isn't about anger. It's about compromise and common ground. We want to give the Archbishop working knowledge of people's thoughts and ideas, whether it be money, security, upkeep, or anything else. I do completely understand why they want to do this. But I think there are many other ways of dealing with it, fury and ire not being one of them; but constructive discourse, caring, understanding, and love. I don't claim to know all the answers. I don't. That's why I'm here. EDIT: Local article explaining the In's and Out's. http://www.nola.com/homegarden/index.ssf/2015/01/because_of_vandalism_only_tour.html#incart_river EDIT 2: For those wanting to contact the Archbishop now in regards to keeping St Louis Cemetery accessible. As always keep it civil and polite. To mail a letter, direct it to Gregory Michael AyMond, the Archbishop, 7887 Walmsley Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70125. Or send an email here: https://www.arch-no.org/contact Points to stress: - This policy will not protect the cemetery from vandalism that occurs after hours - This policy will restrict access to local residents who cannot afford to pay a tour guide when they want to visit the cemetery, whose rich history belongs to all residents - The proposed rates charged to tourist companies are exorbitant and will require them to bring in large groups of 25+ people just to break even. Large groups are more difficult to control - The policy is difficult to enforce - Better solutions include a security system (alarms), cameras, and a guard posted during opening hours

I'm starting a petition because me and my husband's parental rights were terminated to our children in 2007 after we both completed a parental agreement. I feel that our rights as parents should be restored after we finished a parental agreement and learned from it. Stopping parental rights from being terminated after parents comply should be intact, which does affect me and my husband very much. Please sign my petition if you agree that a parent or parents rights should not be terminated after complying with a parental agreement from their state.

I am an MD-PhD student in my 8th and final year at Tufts, and have created this petition on behalf of myself and other graduating Tufts medical and graduate students. We have all made many professional contacts during our time at Tufts, in addition to listing our Tufts emails as contact information in published works and professional forums. By blocking all email that comes to our Tufts accounts starting 90 days after graduation, Tufts will negatively affect our careers as future Tufts graduates. Lifetime email forwarding is provided by many institutions to their graduates, but Tufts is not among them, and this leaves us at a disadvantage. Please sign if you support having Tufts forward our email indefinitely after we graduate, so that we don't risk losing valuable connections. Thank you. -Sam Stampfer

Burial Hill will be adversely affected with the needless removal of these trees. Burial Hill is one of the country's earliest burial grounds and is part of the original area settled by the Pilgrims. It is of historic, artistic, and cultural importance. We must be stewards to its preservation. If we stand silent we are party to its desecration.
