Why do American foods contain chemical additives that are intolerable to Europeans? Why is Monsanto given carte-blanche to contaminate our food supply with GMOs without our knowledge? Why is the agricultural industry using pesticides that are killing off our bees? What happened to common-sense food production practices that nourish people, sustain our planet, and allow family farms to survive and flourish? Rich or poor, left or right, we all need to eat and we all deserve access to toxic-free food. When did that stop being our basic human right? Let's join together as Americans in all our diversity and reclaim our shared, fundamental RIGHT to healthy, toxic-free, sustainably produced food.

The St. Louis police chief Sam Dotson wants drones for law enforcement. This is a major privacy concern. Electronic remote-controlled machines with high powered cameras and weapons are already in use around the world and along the U.S./Mexico border.

Small farm animals like chickens provide healthy food, are a natural way to cut down on insects, and cause few issues as small broods.

We vote, pay taxes, pay our bills on time; and because I graduated from graduate program and have a good job, we get denied Federal and local grants. We lost almost everything in Hurricane Sandy and have been paying our mortgage on a house we cannot live in. We have only lived in our home, our first and only, for two years.

President Obama has the power with the stroke of a pen to designate the Detroit Institute of Arts as a national monument. I am a native Detroiter, and I love the Detroit Institute of Arts. The thought of losing its collection—especially the Diego Rivera murals—is heartbreaking. I can't just sit by and do nothing while my main source of pride in Detroit is stolen.

Being a service connected disable veteran I should be afforded the same rights as retired veterans for military flights. As well as the active duty members and their dependents. There are many disabled veterans that deserve this benefit as well. Como veterano con incapacidad relacionada con el servicio debería tener los mismos derechos a vuelos militares que los veteranos retirados. Lo mismo que los miembros en servicio activo y sus dependientes. Hay muchos veteranos incapacitados que también merecen este beneficio.

I think @AmazingPhil and @Pewdiepie should collab in a video because most of the phandom and phumdom want to see it. It personally affects me because I, myself, Really want to see them collaborate on a video together, And I want them to meet. So sign this so we can make this happen!

Over 85% of foods in the grocery store contain genetically modified material, and yet there have been NO long term studies on their effects on public health. We should have the right to know and to choose for ourselves.

George Clooney remarked that the US needs eyes on the ground to address the humanitarian crisis in South Sudan. George further stated that strong agricultural leadership was required to stabilize the region. Further, US oil interests are under represented in South Sudan.

Supporting Full Marriage Rights for all our LGBT couples in Hawaii so that we can follow suit after the Repeal of DOMA by the US Supreme Court.

Despite the drastic increase in rent in the Crown Heights neighborhood, the proposed rezoning for Crown Heights West offers no guarantees that new housing will be affordable to existing residents. The rezoning only includes a voluntary incentive, called Inclusionary Zoning, for developers to build some affordable units within market-rate developments. This incentive has a track record in NYC of resulting in few affordable units, and a vast array of luxury housing. Regardless of whether developers take the affordable housing incentive, they would be allowed to build larger buildings, which would increase the property value. This could mean: • Rents could increase. • Existing housing and retail space could be demolished. • Tenants could face increased harassment to leave their apartments. We need your help to tell the New York City Council to include protections for affordable housing and increased penalties for harassing tenants in the proposed Crown Heights West rezoning. We're asking NYC to: 1. Adopt Mandatory Inclusionary Zoning, a policy that guarantees a certain percentage of affordable units in new developments under a rezoning. 2. Establish an anti-harassment area, which requires the City to look into whether harassment occurred when it receives demolition requests and penalizes landlords who harass tenants. This petition is sponsored by the Crown Heights Assembly, a coalition of long-term residents and newcomers working for affordable and harassment-free housing in Crown Heights.
