IRS: Investigate Tax-Exempt Support for West Bank SettlementsAs U.S. officials like Secretary of State John Kerry have stated, Israeli settlements in the West Bank are one of the greatest obstacles to achieving a diplomatic agreement to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service [IRS] and the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control [OFAC] have been permissive of private U.S. financial support for Israeli settlements that the U.S. government officially opposes; ironically, even more permissive than Israeli law. [1] The fact that financial supporters of the settlements have abused U.S. tax law has been documented by the New York Times. [2] It’s time for U.S. policy to change. The IRS and OFAC have the legal authority to act. Urge the Administration to investigate abuse of U.S. tax law by financial supporters of West Bank settlements by signing our petition.

President Berkman: Don't allow Taxpayers' Money to be used FrivolouslyWe feel our friend and family member, Shana, R.N., from Ohio, is being targeted for filing a lawsuit against Cleveland State University in 2013. We have information that leads us to believe that a state employee or employees (protected by the State) are behind a complaint made to the State of Ohio Board of Nursing (members assigned by the State Governor); which could have severe consequences on Shana's nursing career and license, earned at another University. We feel this recent action has only occurred because of the filing of the 2013 lawsuit. Our tax dollars, paid to support State Agencies (ex. Ohio Board of Nursing), should not be used to settle what appears to be a personal vendetta between State employees and a former CSU student. Information about the lawsuit can be found at the 'Court of Claims of Ohio' Website: Case # 2012-03425 and Case # 2013-0002568 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Theresa McDade

Permettre l'ajout du nom des joueurs sur les uniformesÉtant donné que chaque joueur paie son uniforme en totalité et que les commanditaires n'apparaissent plus sur les uniformes, chaque équipe du secteur compétitif devrait pouvoir ajouter le nom des joueurs sur les chandails, si elle en assume les frais supplémentaires.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Karine Gagnon

Bringing the Buffalo Braves back home!Our group feels that many people in the city of Buffalo would love to have an NBA team in our city and the Buffalo Braves back home. Not only would many people like to have the team back, but Buffalo is on the rise economically right now. Bringing the Braves back to an already flourishing city would be a great idea.234 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Sean Sauer

Stop testing products on animals... Stop animal cruelty!My petition is about stopping animal product testing. This testing affects everyone personally. Animals cannot speak for themselves, but they feel pain and have emotion just like people. We say it is inhumane to experiment on humans. It is also inhumane to experiment on animals. We want to give animals a voice!115 of 200 SignaturesCreated by angie

Keep our Terra Linda Community Residential!The building will invade privacy by allowing views into neighboring homes, will block views, and the now discreet campus will become an industrial feeling business building. A building of this scale does not belong in our residential community and goes against the original Terra Linda Master Plan of neighborhood schools!201 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Terra Linda Cares
