Jesse Garcia, 23, was murdered in a Taco Bell parking lot in Colorado Springs on July 17th, 2016. His murderer, Jack Rogers, an 80-year-old white male at the time of the incident, has a documented history of racial harassment in his neighborhood, a family connection to an officer in the CSPD, and a case that doesn't add up. The 4th District Attorney Dan May made a quick decision not to press charges against Jack Rogers based on a surveillance video that has not yet been released. We demand that charges be brought against Jack Rogers, allowing a full investigation into the nature of the shooting. As District Attorney, Dan May's job is to bring justice to those whose voices have been silenced, and he failed to do so. Why Press Charges? • Police report lists the two as strangers, when in reality, Jack lived across the street from Jesse's grandmother. • Jack kept meticulous records of who entered and exited the neighborhood, frequently using racial slurs to describe Jesse's family members. • While the case is described as a road-rage incident, there seems to be no evidence of this other than Jack's testimony. • The written report of the video and of witnesses describe Jesse as not gesturing, not raising his voice, not yelling moments before he was shot by Jack. • Jack claims that Jesse grabbed the gun and it accidentally went off, yet no prints of any kind were found on the gun. Jack is a former officer himself and would know about preserving fingerprints. • Jack has a family relationship with a Colorado Springs officer.

In Illinois, the Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District is providing free bus rides to the polls on Election Day. [1] Other mass transit districts could do it too. We can't pay people to vote. But we can give all voters something for free, by way of compensation. We have a kind of poll tax now in some urban communities: long lines to vote. That costs people time, and therefore it costs them money; and it discourages them from voting in the future. [2] We should fix this! In the meantime, we could compensate people for their trouble. Sorry about the long line; we're working on that. In the meantime, here's your free ride. Free fares would be a friendly advertisement for voting across many people's day. You get to the subway or bus, and it's free. That would remind people that today is Election Day. A day of free fares on Election Day would be good publicity for mass transit. That's something we need to confront the challenge of climate change: more people using public transit instead of cars. Urge President Obama and Members of Congress to advocate for a public transit fare holiday on Election Day by signing our petition.

My petition is about equal rights. Transgender people are being killed daily, thrown out and victimized because of their sexual orientation .

President Obama has recognized the importance of protecting the sacred lands of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and of allowing for peaceful demonstrations against the Dakota Access Pipeline, which threatens tribal lands. But state & local law enforcement have been escalating the use of force, with riot gear, batons, armed vehicles, sound cannons, and pepper spray being deployed against demonstrators, resulting in over a hundred arrests. Democratic Representatives Raúl Grijalva & Jared Huffman are leading a letter urging President Obama to de-escalate the use of force at Standing Rock. They urge Obama to deny the easement for the Dakota Access Pipeline to cross Lake Oahe. They urge Obama to protect the rights of the water protectors by sending Justice Department observers & urging North Dakota Gov. Dalrymple to withdraw National Guard & other law enforcement personnel that have been deployed around the camp. They oppose the use of federal funds to reimburse North Dakota for its heavy-handed response to protests. Urge your Representative to support the Grijalva-Huffman letter by signing our petition.

This petition is to stop the pollution that Nestle is causing!! Stop nestle from selling bottled water before they stop us from living.

Our country depends upon agencies like the FBI to enforce the law and keep our country safe. Picking sides in a presidential election is absolutely unacceptable, and undermines not only the judicial system, but the credibility of our democracy. Our law enforcement officers must never allow themselves to be used for partisan attacks. FBI Director James Comey broke faith with the American people when he did just that. Despite an utter lack of new evidence related to any wrongdoing, Comey released a letter to Congress reigniting partisan attacks against Hillary Clinton just days before the election. It was clear from the beginning that this letter could influence the outcome on November 8th, a fact which Comey must have known, making his decision to violate long-standing DOJ policy all the more unacceptable. On Sunday, two days before the election, Comey released a second letter revealing that no new evidence had emerged and therefore his conclusions were unchanged from July - essentially admitting that his first letter was baseless. Now it's time for him to write a third letter announcing his resignation. Like the FBI, the military is expected to stay neutral in democratic elections. Veterans like me know that to take sides on partisan issues while actively serving is not just a violation of our oaths, it is an abuse of power. James Comey cannot continue serving as FBI Director, and regardless of the outcome of the presidential election, his continued presence in the job will hurt the credibility of the FBI and its relationship with the next President. In this volatile political time, we cannot allow our law enforcement agencies to become partisan tools. Please join me in calling on Director Comey to step down now.

I'm a Washington State resident who voted for Hillary Clinton. If Mr. Satiacum goes through with his plan of representing his own personal feelings on the election over properly doing the job of an electoral college member, I feel my vote - and the votes of other Clinton supporters - will not count.

I feel there is a retirement crisis in this country and millions of younger Americans are going to be forced to rely on their own savings or social security. I feel corporations must play a greater role in securing the retirement of future retirees by bringing back traditional retirement plans again. If we don't take action now, millions of Americans will be left out in the cold in 30 or 40 years.

Do you relish a cup of tea when you wake up in the morning? Did you know that the tea you are drinking could be produced by workers who suffer slavery-like conditions? Tea workers in Assam earn a meagre wage of 126 Rupees a day, which is less than 2 British pounds and lower than the minimum wage mandated by national law. In addition, they live in appalling conditions, with poor access to basic services like water, health and sanitation, which expose them and their families to malnutrition and preventable deaths. You can help to break this cycle! Bring digniTEA to those who bring you tea!

Prevention is the best immunity. Good nutrition. Hand hygiene. Proper rest and diet. NOT a vaccine that delivers the amount of toxins that it does. We have no voice, but every patient DOES. Patients are allowed to refuse; we should be also.
