As a Florida Panthers and ice hockey fan, it sickens me that Panthers President Michael Yormark would consider the Redline Lady Panthers to be "entertainment". They are one of the many forms that females are sexually degraded by and for males to make money and are seen as the prime example of what females should really be like and the organization is trying to reinforce a correlation between males only watching sports and females only as objects. If they truly stand for the family friendly entertainment they stated, then they should present the team in that manner.

My nephew and all other aviators connected with his mission fly KC 135 Tankers (Boeing 707) which, since 2008, do not include parachutes for the crew. Our aviators and our airmen are at risk of intentionally being sacrificed! How can this be?

We shouldn't be eating these mutant foods and using these products. Already the European Union, the UK, Australia, Japan and two dozen other countries have banned their products. Why are we allowed to eat them? Please contact your Representative(s) to sign this urgent Bill.

FCC has had since 2010 to enact the "Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation [ CALM ] Act . Passed by congress December 15, 2010 it directs the FCC to establish rules that prevent commercials from being broadcast at a louder volume than the program they follow.I have yet to see this Act abided with.

James A. Czywczynski of Rapid City, South Dakota, purchased the 40 acres of Wounded Knee in 1968. The taxable value of the land is $6,600.00, however he is attempting to sell the land back to the Oglala Sioux for $3.9 million. He has given the tribe until June 1 to express interest in the land. Given the historic significance of the land, it is time for the United States Secretary of Interior, Sally Jewell, to declare "eminent domain" on all of Mr. Czywczynski's Wounded Knee property. Native Americans from across the country go to Wounded Knee to remember the wounds that have never healed there. Return this land to the Oglala Sioux tribe so the wounds can begin to heal.

This Petition is to convince Lew Dickey, head of Cumulus media, to dump Rush Limbaugh and any programming produced by Limbaugh's EIB network. Cumulus media's ad revenues have declined as a result of grassroots action against Limbaugh's advertisers. Conservatives should have right to hear their champions on the radio, but Limbaugh's incendiary rhetoric has led to unprecedented partisan divisiveness in this country.

Foster Avenue is becoming a speedway to the expressways and enforcing the speed limits, stopping at red lights, and ticketing passing on the right isn't happening. Two lanes of traffic in each direction are not necessary. Traffic should be reduced to one lane in each direction, with a center divider for pedestrian crossing. A stop light should be added at Avers Avenue. Children are crossing Foster between and among Eugene Field Park and Gompers Park.

Everyday thousands of innocent dogs and cats are torchered and abused. Shelters are euthanizing thousands of dogs and cats daily. Dogs are taken from shelters daily in order to use them as bait dogs in pit bull fights. This has to stop. Please help stop the abuse by siging this petition in hope to protect our precious 4 legged friends. We are their voice.

Democracy, human rights, labor rights

Latinos demand that Christine La Coursiere resign as Chair of the board of Centro Cultural de Fargo-Moorhead. Up until a month ago, there were only two board members: Christine La Coursiere, chair; and Kandace Creel-Falcon, Vice-chair. When our protest of Centro Cultural leadership was announced, Creel-Falcon resigned. The remaining board chair’s lack of leadership and her lack of concern for Mexicans and Latinos have left Moorhead’s only Mexican cultural center in disrepair and without funding or programming for years; while intentionally eliminated programs and people trying to serve the Mexican and Latino community. We are demanding La Coursiere’s resignation and an investigation of Creel-Falcon and LaCoursiere’s handling of the organization’s funding by the Minnesota Attorney General. For Background on community issue, see mexi-can.org http://mexi-can.org/latinos-demand-that-christine-la-coursiere-resign-from-the-board-of-centro-cultural-de-fargo-moorhead/

The president of Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas, asked Paul Ryan to speak at commencement. However, Ryan is a terrible choice because his proposed budget is immoral and in direct opposition to Catholic teachings. Ryan supports tax cuts for the wealthy and increased military spending while limiting or decreasing social programs that help families, the poor, and the middle class. He proposes capping Pell Grants at today's maximum and raising interest rates on student loans. Most Benedictine students rely on these government programs.. He says that his views are based on the philosophy of Ayn Rand who believed that helping others was immoral. He is not a positive role model for the graduates of Benedictine..

In the early hours of May 4th, Air Force Lt. Col. Jeffrey Krusinski -- head of the Air Force's sexual assault prevention program -- was “arrested and charged with sexual battery,” according to the Arlington, Virginia police department. Krusinski drunkenly “approached a female victim in a parking lot and grabbed her breasts and buttocks.” It's become clear that the military is not capable of solving its epidemic of sexual violence. Despite years of studies and initiatives, there were 26,000 sexual assaults in 2012 -- more than 71 per day -- up from 19,000 in 2011. Chuck Hagel, the new Secretary of Defense, must immediately endorse the STOP Act, which would take the prosecution, reporting, oversight, investigation, and victim care of sexual assaults out of the normal military chain of command and place jurisdiction in an autonomous Sexual Assault Oversight and Response Office made up of military and civilian experts.
