Halloween is not only an incredibly fun and candy-filled day for the majority of children (and adults) in our country, but it is an important tradition with a history that shouldn't be forgotten. An entire season revolves around Halloween with jack-o-lanterns, ghosts, and goblins filling our neighborhoods and stores with spooky delight. Not recognizing this day as a holiday (and giving the people the time to stop and celebrate accordingly) is a travesty-causing it to become a lost tradition. Let's not let Halloween be forgotten-rather, let's give it the attention and significance it deserves!

In March 2013 President Obama asked, the Israeli and Palestinian Youths to began a dialogue and now he will not set them an example of how to talk and not fight to proven that this Republic is still a: school yard Bully in the People House..

Depression, anxiety, agoraphobia, etc. can be just debilitating as any other disability just in different ways. I can personally testify to this and believe that some people may be able to lead a more normal and/or more fulfilled life if they could have the comfort and emotional support that a dog can provide with them when and where ever they are needed.

Will you help to encourage President Obama to support the National Cesar E. Chavez Blood Drive Challenge? Only 3% of the U.S. Latino/Hispanic population donate blood, yet it is the fastest growing segment of our population. We can turn this situation around into a solution for our entire nation. Let's increase Latino/Hispanic participation in blood donation and bone marrow registry by inviting more Latino/Hispanic student leaders on more college campuses to take on this challenge. It's working! Over 70,000+ college students have participated already. We would like President Obama to support the campaign by possibly inviting some of the student leaders to the White House. What do you think?

I am unhappy with the treatment of farm animals. I feel that we have a responsibility to treat animals with more dignity, care, and respect than they are currently receiving.

Animals can not tell us when they are harmed and they can not make change. Animals deserve rights but have no voice,it's up to us to do the right thing and put a stop to these persistent crimes against animals.

I am a psychoanalyst. I have started this petition because recent revelations (e.g., NY Times, 5 September 2013) make it clear that messages -- even encrypted messages -- which I exchange with my patients (via e-mail, IM, telephone, or Skype) can and will be intercepted, decrypted, and analyzed by the NSA. This violates HIPAA regulations and seriously interferes with my ability to communicate with the very people to whom I have promised that what they tell me will be kept in complete confidence. When trust is undermined in the psychotherapeutic or psychoanalytic arena, I am no longer able to do my work.

I want children at Deborah Brown Community School to be able to have their natural afro's and dread lock styles seen proudly in school everyday. : )

United Sportsmen lied about their tax status to receive this grant money. They are a partisan group who is now about to use public money. What's worse than the initial half a million we taxpayers are gifting them with is that this grant is set to renew automatically every two years without needing to re-apply. Unacceptable! Sign and tell the DNR they must rescind this grant! You can read more about this here: http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/news/222540421.html

The health of the dogs chained up and the excessive barking all day and all night. These dogs are covered in dirt and flies.

To remind the congress, and the president, that forming a more perfect Union begins with the people, and with prudent steps to establish fact, and effective action to deescalate hostility while simultaneously ending and prosecuting criminal humanitarian actions.
