BURNING MOUTH SYNDROMEBURNING MOUTH SYNDROME is a disorder that has gotten little publicity so little research has been done. This is a debilitating disorder and we need big research companies and pharmaceutical companies to do research and come up with a cure for us. So far we know it's from the firing of nerves in the tongue. This causes debilitating pain in bms members. It feels like a hot coal is placed on your tongue. People have lost or had to quit their jobs. I've had this disorder for 15 yrs and was bedridden until I was given an addictive drug. More problems but that's what it comes down to. We need better meds!! We need more publicity and for bms to come out into the open. Bms is so debilitating that many have said they can't go on. They see no future...PLEASE HELP US!!824 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by MaryC. Larson

Return bench to the citizens of IlwacoThe bench in question was always used day in and day out by people and customers of a tax paying business in Ilwaco. The city clearly has bigger things they should focus on than "maintaining" a bench made out of milk gallons, but we don't need to get into that.38 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mike Berani

Sunday Sales in RestaurantsRecently the state of Georgia enabled liquor stores to open on Sundays without having to sell food. In order for a restaurant or bar that sells food to be open on Sunday their food sales (for the year) have to account for more than 50% of their total sales. Restaurants and bars that sell food often have to drastically reduce the prices of the drinks that contain alcohol in order to meet that requirement. This in turn lowers sales, profits and possible tax revenue.82 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael Bartlett

Fire Roger GoodellGoodell has lied about the circumstances surrounding his mismanagement and "double-jeopardy" actions regarding the Ray Rice matter. He has been reactionary and overly influenced by the public relations opportunities of prior matters (proposing a "potty-mouth" rule for players; proposing an extension of extra-points that would create a manifest change in the way the game is played; punishing players to a harsher degree than coaches, owners and other non-playing personnel).3,002 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Craig May

Preserve Honouliuli!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.403 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai'i

National day of remembranceI 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.50 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ruth Shekleton

Newscorp and Fox News ChannelRichard 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!15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dana C. Fairbanks, M.D.

Councilman Rafael Espinal: Help END Animal AbuseAnnouncing 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.121 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Meredith-Lyn Avey

Call on Facebook to remove "Jewish Ritual Murder" pageI 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".745 of 800 SignaturesCreated by M.
