Let us learn from the past and never forget. In 1941, without a trial or charges of wrong-doing, over 2,300 Japanese Americans living in Hawai‘i were arrested and detained in county jails, prisons and internment camps like Honouliuli. For the past ten years, the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai‘i has worked to preserve the historical site, document the experiences of the former internees and teach the lessons of the Japanese American internment. Honouliuli is a reminder of our civil rights and our shared responsibility to uphold the Constitution for all people, at all times.

I would like to petition for 9/11th to be a national day of remembrance. Too many people lost their lives that day and they mourn as we do for the lives lost on that horrifying day. We have a memorial of 9/11. So I don't understand why it hasn't been a national day of remembrance. We already have a memorial day and that I understand but this was during our lifetime 13 years ago. We had people who lived here and all over the world that lost their lives that day and the families still mourn over them and people that didn't even know the ones who died still mourn over that day and this is why I would like to petition this to be a national day of remembrance day. It needs to be a day for people to have off of work and off of schools so they can have it as a historical day.

Richard Bruce Cheney, George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Alberto Gonzales, David Addington, William Haynes II, Jay Bybee and John Yoo have been convicted by the War Crimes Commission in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia as war criminals for torture and inhumane treatment of war crime victims at US military facilities. These war criminals are unable to travel outside of the United States for fear that they will be arrested. The fact that the United States has not held these individuals accountable for their glaring crimes against humanity is a travesty of justice! The LEAST you can do is not provide Richard Bruce Cheney or any of these other criminals with a platform from which they can spew their hateful lies and attempt to revise history in their favor! Every time one of them emerges from hiding and is treated as if he is able to offer an expert opinion about ANYTHING is an affront to every American citizen! Enough! Stop inflicting these WAR CRIMINALS upon the American public!

Announcing your position against the Mayor's ban of horse drawn carriages leaves one less vote towards a progressive, safer, more humane NYC. Stand with the majority of your fellow New Yorkers and reverse your stance on not supporting the ban, especially when there are better solutions to keep jobs surrounding NYC's tourism industry. You have a chance to stand with the right side of the city that denounces the abuse of animals and advocates for real public safety.

I'm personally affected by this as my daughter has been struggling and I do not know where to start to get some awareness out there and educate our teachers and staff of our schools on Auditory Processing Disorder.

I am a medieval historian (PhD in Medieval Studies). I have studied at length the blood libel leveled against Jews during the Middle Ages. The blood libel alleged--with absolutely no basis in fact--that Jews were responsible for (among other things) murdering Christian children and using their blood for ritual purposes such as unleavened bread, and that Jews were solely to blame for the execution of Jesus of Nazareth. The claims of the blood libel have been used from the Middle Ages and on into today's world to perpetuate the notion that it is acceptable to perpetrate horrific acts of discrimination, violence, and slaughter upon Jews and Jewish communities. Any Facebook page that describes these false practices of ritual murder is implicitly encouraging similar activities even if it never says so outright. Many of my colleagues and I have already contacted Facebook, reporting the page as encouraging discrimination and violence against Jews through the promulgation of a myth that has been repeatedly proven utterly false. Though the page was taken down, 24 hours later it was restored and messages were sent to us saying that the site is NOT seen as discriminatory or encouraging hate speech . If Facebook is to be the social force that it pretends to be in its mission statement, it must live up to its own codes of what constitutes "hate speech". We, the undersigned, demand therefore that the website "Jewish Ritual Murder (https://www.facebook.com/truthaboutjews)" be permanently removed and that Facebook reassess its policies concerning what constitutes "hate speech".

Fans love the Marriott Hotel in Whippany as the location for the Supernatural Convention and do not want to see it moved to the Meadowlands to make it larger. Larger equals less time for guests/or guest numbers (they only have so much time in a day), a less personal experience, hotel/parking expenses are much higher, longer lines and more waiting around, etc. The all in one hotel venue has many advantages: easier for fans who are not as easily mobile, not having to carry all your belongings/meds for a 12 hr+ day, arrive and park and you are there for the weekend, meals on site, etc. Let's keep this amazing event in Whippany!

I am a Nursing, Commercial Airline Pilot. I have been chosen to personally represent Pilot and Flight Attendant Mothers both past and present regarding Breastfeeding policies in aviation. I have also been asked to formally submit concerns and possible resolutions for Nursing Mothers in the airline industry First, I would like to state how grateful I am that you are lending an open ear. Breastfeeding and/or pumping milk is a very sensitive subject for many women in the industry (both Pilots and Flight Attendants). Because of company policies regarding Leave Time, Pay and Scheduling, many women feel they are forced to choose between what is best for their child and their careers. My hope is that we can work together to design a resolution that benefits the Industry as well as Nursing Mothers. We do not have a 9-5 job like many mothers, and because of scheduling and privacy issues it becomes nearly impossible to pump in order to maintain a sufficient breast milk supply for our children. We are gone up to 5 days at a time and shifts are up to 14 or more hours with delays, weaving in and out of different airports and mostly sitting alongside another male Pilot in the cockpit. There are no private rooms on an aircraft without a bathroom stall present and even if this were acceptable, the sound of the pump may be clearly heard in the cockpit, the front galley and the first 3 or more rows (begging for harassment and strange looks). I have also been advised that the FAA does not condone pumping on an aircraft, but cannot disallow a mother to partake in an "Emergency Pump" if it is to cause a safety concern because of pain or discomfort. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics a mother should "exclusively" (receiving no other nourishment) breastfeed an infant for a "minimum" of 6 months and introduce a complement of foods thereafter, while continuing to breastfeed for a "minimum" of 12 months. In our jobs, we generally have no privacy until we reach the hotel. The Airline Industry does not adhere to the federally mandated "Break Time for Nursing Mothers" Law, nor do they modify our positions so that we may continue to collect a paycheck while on Maternity Leave. In fact, most airlines do not mention "Maternity Leave" or "Breastfeeding" anywhere in the contract or company handbooks (it is considered a disability) . We are given no alternative schedule when we return to work and we are forced to exhaust FMLA to cover Maternity Leave which begins around 27.5 weeks of pregnancy because we are not able to perform our regular duties (according to one head of Human Resources). We are caught between a rock an a hard place. (Read more about Break Time for Nursing Mothers Law: http://www.usbreastfeeding.org/Employment/WorkplaceSupport/WorkplaceSupportinFederalLaw/tabid/175/Default.aspx) After FMLA has been exhausted we are given a work "occurrence" (which can lead to punitive action) and we are placed on non-FMLA medical leave, whereby we must produce the Human Resources Department with a "Physician's Statement" every 30 days (including a diagnosis and prognosis for injury and illness as well as an expected return-to-work date). This pile of paperwork ends up being a headache for the Pediatrician, OBGYN and the mothers. On top of this paperwork, most employers/insurers do not consider "breastfeeding" a viable excuse from work. Most Pilots/Flight Attendants I have talked to end up losing their milk supply after the very first, four day trip because they are unable to maintain a proper pumping schedule (every 2-3 hours while away from the baby) and they are in a great deal of pain/discomfort from being engorged. We are not ill or injured- we simply want to feed our children. Unless you are able to present some alternative ailment to keep you home, you end up with an ultimatum- essentially, quit breastfeeding and return to work or lose your job. At my company as a senior First Officer, I earn an hourly wage of $36.62. I am away from home approximately 430 hours per month (more than half of the month) and I am only paid for approximately 82 hours of that time. I earn $2400 per month after taxes and deductions on a full paycheck. My disability checks cover only 60% of my normal pay rate, or roughly $1400 monthly. Daycare, plus the cost of formula for an infant less than one year of age sometimes exceeds my monthly paychecks, leaving little to no room for rent, groceries or other bills. In short, I cannot afford daycare because my paychecks are too small: "While a child is in the baby and toddler stages, one will pay more. Children this age need more hands-on care and so the center must hire more caregivers. The average cost of center-based daycare in the United States is $11,666 per year ($972 a month), but prices range from $3,582 to $18,773 a year ($300 to $1,564 monthly), according to the National Association of Child Care Resource & Referral Agencies (NACCRRA). Parents report higher costs – up to $2,000 a month for infant care – in cities like Boston and San Francisco." http://www.babycenter.com/0_how-much-youll-spend-on-childcare_1199776.bc. (Formula costs around $105 per month on average). Please keep in mind, however, that our "disability" checks only last 6 weeks postpartum for a vaginal delivery and 8 weeks for a C-section. Unless we have this money saved or we have financial support from friends or family we are quickly draining our life savings just to feed our children. I am currently 3 months postpartum, I have exhausted my FMLA and a good deal of my personal savings, I have received an occurrence and I am only halfway to the "minimum" length of time to breastfeed as suggested by the American Pediatrician Association. I recently applied for a Personal LOA as suggested by HR, but according to the handbook, the approval of 3 additional months is the sole discretion of my company which does not take my child into consideration, but instead looks at staffing supply. I am feel...
