This petition is to stop the falsified data that is being collected at each and every VA facility. The care veterans receive is still not satisfactory, and many veterans are still suffering from delayed care, timelines of care, and denied care. By signing this petition will help Top VA leaders understand they cannot continue to provide veterans with falsified data reports.

I am tired of turning on news channels and seeing constant bashing of Hillary Clinton while continuing to see interviews with Trump while he spouts his lies and inuendos and is rarely challenged.

On Monday, September 12, we will rally at Urbana City Hall at 6:30 pm. [1] We'll be calling on Mayor Prussing and the Urbana City Council to follow the lead of Minneapolis [2] in supporting the water and land protectors at Standing Rock. We'll present this petition urging them to call on President Obama to instruct the Army Corps of Engineers to revoke the permits for the Dakota Access Pipeline. On Friday, the Obama Administration said it would stop construction on a critical stretch of the Dakota Access Pipeline until it can do more environmental assessments. [3] This is a very welcome move by the Obama Administration. We want this welcome pause to be made permanent. To address the threat to people around the world of climate change, we need to keep more fossil fuels in the ground. A great place to start is by helping Native Americans protect their lands and water from unwanted fossil fuel development. Sign our petition urging Mayor Prussing and the Urbana City Council to pass a resolution against the Dakota Access Pipeline, like the City of Minneapolis has.

My petition is to have a fair and equitable debate between the two candidates. There appears to be a bias of how the candidates are interviewed and treated.

38 water protectors have been arrested and are facing charges for opposing the Dakota Access Bakken oil pipeline in Sioux treaty territory in North Dakota. The pipeline company uses attack dogs and mace to continue building while destroying sacred sites with bulldozers. Support these protectors of Mother Earth, our water, and climate; learn how to live without fracked oil and gas; drop the charges by September 20!

We are a group of outraged parents whose daughters were subjected to second-class treatment by their colleges. Forced to endure woefully inadequate investigative and disciplinary proceedings that did not comply with civil rights laws, we watched in horror as campus officials cavalierly exonerated offenders whose brutal acts of violent discrimination against our daughters deserved punishment. Only after the fact did we learn that school officials had subjected our daughters to second class treatment during the investigation and hearing process. We were then shocked to learn that the American Bar Association had recently recommended that schools subject victimized women to second class treatment, even though women suffer far more violence on campus because they are female than does any other class of student suffer violence because of their race, religion, etc. Violence against any woman is a civil rights offense against all women. That an organization like the ABA, which purports to be dedicated to ensuring equal justice for all, would mock the very idea of gender equality in education, especially on the virtual eve of the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage, is profoundly disturbing. Please join us in this important initiative to repeal the ABA's discriminatory policy, and voice your support for full gender equality in all schools.

Florida's Republican Attorney General, Pam Bondi, personally solicited and accepted a political contribution from Donald Trump while ignoring complaints of fraud at Trump University from Florida Residents. The Orlando Sentinel has chronicled how Pam Bondi received a $25,000 campaign contribution from the Donald J. Trump Foundation in September of 2013, just three days after her office announced it would not join a New York lawsuit that accused Trump University of fraudulent practices. Even worse, Donald Trump held a fundraiser for Pam Bondi at his Mar-a-Lago property less than a year after Bondi passed on the Trump University Lawsuit. Pam Bondi has not answered any questions from the media regarding her Donald Trump’s political contribution, and any illegal activity between Bondi and Trump has not been investigated by Florida prosecutors. If we want to protect the public trust and ensure that Florida residents are protected from fraudulent schemes like Trump University, then we need to hold corrupt politicians like Pam Bondi accountable for their unethical behavior. We demand that the U.S. Department of Justice launches an investigation on the unethical behavior between Pam Bondi and Donald Trump.

Mass incarceration in low-income communities feeds a cycle of poverty and crime and does little to keep those communities safe. It’s unconscionable that, through a loophole in our tax code, taxpayers are actually padding the profits of private prison owners who are getting rich off of mass incarceration. I’m fighting to end this outrageous, unjust special interest loophole and I hope you’ll join me. Sign the Petition: Tell Congress to end private prison tax breaks! - Ron Wyden

We are concerned about the following audition notice and request that the EEOC and DFEH take administrative action: "All ethnicities are welcome to audition. Historically we have used performers whose facial features make them appear conventionally Caucasian. So if you fit this description, please send us your information. If you don’t, your amazing voice and stage presence could change our minds, so please send us your information." - Beach Blanket Babylon (San Francisco) ≈ 26 August 2016 Such a blatantly race-based employment preference violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), both of which prohibit discrimination based upon race and color. Under U.S. law, race is never a bona fide occupational qualification, and Beach Blanket Babylon’s preference for Caucasian talent combined with its own admission within the notice that an auditioner’s race is not essential for the role(s) in question leave no room for ambiguity. We further request that the EEOC and DFEH initiate investigations into systemic violations of Title VII and FEHA at all levels of California’s entertainment industry. Discriminatory employment practices are industry standard and disparately impact all but White males on and behind camera and stage.

We need to be freed from the high interest rates that the loans have submerged us in...Only to not be able to find jobs OR a livable wage.

My grandchildren are caught up in the system due to my son's addiction. I'm not allowed to have them or even openly communicate, although we've always had an ongoing long term established relationship. Due to my past of addiction that created it's horrible havoc in my life and unfortunately my children's. I have over 2 decades of sobriety and recovery. I got my own children back and out of this broken system but many years later the same sadness affects our life with my grandchildren!! This is horrible and unhealthy for me and many others like me, but more than that the children who don't have a choice even when they speak up. Let's change laws to better lives with love not bureaucracy !!
