oppressive and unwarranted activity against animal facilities

Smart Meters are being forced on us by our utility companies. They emit microwave radiation almost 24/7. They also invade our privacy because they can tell when you are home and what you are doing in your home electronically. After installation, people have complained that their bills have increased. We deserve the ability to opt-out with no fees.

No child’s future should be pre-determined by religious indoctrination by parents, schools or clergy. Help children in the United States declare their freedom from forced religious dogma. Give children the right to think critically on issues of religion, science, superstition and our natural world without undue influence. Pledge your voice to help all children in the U.S. declare their right for RELIGIOUS INDEPENDENCE.

We are faced with yet another crisis, General Assistance Budget Cut, that has been imposed upon disadvantaged and poorer members of society, with little warning. We can no longer stand idly by and let our legislators make budget cuts that will have long term negative effects on our society. For this cause, we are making a statement through this petition to our legislative leaders in the State House, Senate and Governor –Tom Corbitt).

There is a move in legislator to cut SS in order to balance the budget. Average SS benefit is $1200/month. Mine is less. For many seniors, it is their only income. Senator Casey (PA-D) claims to support SS., but refuses to sign a letter written by his colleague (Senator Sanders (VT-I)) which would indicate where he really stands on the issue.

Recently a woman in China was in the news because huge cancerous growths were growing on her face. She is a poor woman and the new politics of selfishness in China means she is unable to receive treatment as she would have when the country provided its citizens with health care. She is disfigured, lonely, jeered at and called a monster because of how she looks. Her response: I am not a monster, I am a mother, and I am ill. We as a collective world can certainly raise enough funds for our sister's operation. I am appealing to whoever knows how to do this to step forward: sign the petition that we can, in fact, do this. Then help continue the process of raising the necessary money. I will contribute, of course, and know in my heart that others will be glad to do so, too.

A Tucson, Arizona, police officer, Korey Lankow, left his drug sniffing dog named Jeg in his police car for over an hour in 98 degree heat. The dog had to be euthanized the next day as the dog's organs were shutting down. http://azstarnet.com/news/local/drug-sniffing-dog-left-in-dps-patrol-car-is-euthanized/article_64255c13-7743-55c0-a783-5f05cb58663c.html

Illegal weapons so readily available to urban kids to kill each other. The cavalier attitude in which we accept these tragedies is shameful. How no one seems to really care. Certain individuals get upset briefly and then things are back to normal. My son was murdered last year. If the laws would change to at least 20 years if you are caught with an illegal weapon ( no deals or negotiations) the climate of this violence would change. They would seriously take a look at picking up a weapon knowing what could happen. I know the IRA would block this every way they could. Does no one have the guts to stand up to them.

This petition is to ask the NCAA and Penn State university to remove Joe Paterno's Statue and suspend the Football program for 5 years consecutively.

As a first step in election finance reform, we need to ensure that our elected representatives actually represent the people that elect them. Therefore, any financial support should only come from people who can vote in the election for the office the person is running for.

Only if a United States President is impeached or convicted of treason,should he be called by his first name,for example "Yo Barack,How is it Shaking",is wrong.A Commander and Chief,should always be addressed as Mister President ,first until he or she,says "Call me Old Man,or something.Let's get back to respecting the office of president,maybe he can do his or her job and get down and dirty and do the job.
