Wisconsin: Don't Send Cops to #NoDAPL Protest at Standing RockOn October 28, Senator Bernie Sanders sent a letter to President Obama requesting that he intervene to protect Native Americans peacefully protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline. [1] At least 140 people were arrested at the construction site in Cannon Ball, N.D., last Wednesday after police moved in with tanks and riot gear, using sound cannons, pepper spray and rubber bullets. Hundreds of Native American protectors have gathered at the site since April to protest the pipeline’s construction on land they claim is tribal under the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie. States which have recently deployed personnel against the Standing Rock protests include Wisconsin, Indiana, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wyoming, and Nebraska, according to an October 23 press release from the Morton County Sheriff's Department. [2] Some Minnesota elected officials called on Minnesota authorities not to send police officers to the Dakota Access Pipeline protest at Standing Rock after it was revealed that the Hennepin County Sheriff had done so. [3] Urge Governor Walker and Wisconsin legislators to discourage Wisconsin law enforcement agencies from sending police officers to the #NoDAPL protest at Standing Rock by signing our petition.

ABC Stores, Quit causing Global Warming!!!We are all negatively effected by pollution from oil burned to generate air conditioning. Much of the electricity in Hawaii, Guam, Las Vegas, (and other locations of ABC Stores) is from burned oil and burned coal. This pollution is harming all of us! ABC Stores are polluting the environment and ignorantly being wasteful.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jason Smith

Please keep The Grand Central Mall closed on Thanksgiving dayThis is a petition to show The Grand Central Mall that people want Thanksgiving to remain a day for families to spend time together, not a day to open business earlier every year just to make a quick buck and ultimately hurt and infuriate their employees and community. Black Friday is for shopping, Cyber Monday is for shopping, Thanksgiving is for giving thanks and being with family....seriously, what's next? Christmas ? Let's nip this in the butt right now.247 of 300 SignaturesCreated by rach

NO DAPL1966 Treaty protecting lands have already been violated,which is just one of many treaty violations. Therefore,since United States of America has in fact violated treaty with sovereign nations, UN should mediate. Not to mention, the possible impact on global concerns of air quality and water quality .32 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jeff Lade

Obama: Protect Native American Protestors at Standing RockOn Friday, October 28, Senator Bernie Sanders sent a letter to President Obama requesting that he intervene to protect Native Americans peacefully protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline. [1] At least 140 people were arrested at the construction site in Cannon Ball, N.D., Wednesday after police moved in with tanks and riot gear, using sound cannons, pepper spray and rubber bullets. Hundreds of Native American protectors have gathered at the site since April to protest the pipeline’s construction on land they claim is tribal under the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie. Sen. Sanders asked that President Obama direct the Justice Department to send observers to the site to protect protestors’ safety and First Amendment rights; call on North Dakota Governor Dalrymple to remove the National Guard from the protest camp; and direct the Army Corps of Engineers to issue an order to stop work on construction of the pipeline near the protest site to reduce tensions while awaiting judicial action. Sanders again called on the president to suspend construction of the pipeline until the Army Corps of Engineers completes a full cultural and environmental review. Urge President Obama and Members of Congress to take action to protect the protestors at Standing Rock by signing our petition.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz Abuse of PowerWe, as US Taxpayers, are all affected by this issue. Rep. Chaffetz has wasted millions upon millions of taxpayers dollars on pointless hearings that produce no new information. He is using this committee to hurt his political opponents and further his own agenda. We must send a message to our government that we are tired of partisan politics and we want our government to do the job they were elected to do, which is to stop these political games and start working together to govern and solve this country's monumental issues before it is too late.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Wendy Crowell
