After the devastating mass shooting in Orlando, citizens across the country are once again demanding that their leaders act decisively. As your constituent and a resident of a state that benefits from gun control laws, I ask that you truly represent Hawaii and our district by co-sponsoring this common sense legislation, which keeps weapons of war out of our communities.

When automobile deaths were on the rise, our government funded research to make cars/driving safer and the number of annual deaths was reduced. The same should hold for guns. The CDC has attempted before to collect data on gun violence, but the US Congress (backed by the NRA) stood in its way. It's time that research was funded, that data collected. I started this petition in hopes of helping to prevent future mass shootings resulting in the loss of innocent American lives.

It would be a humbling honor to represent the 7th District in the House of Representatives for Missouri. For too long we have not had good representation in DC and I would like the opportunity to be a real Representative for Southwest Missouri. We need to get rid of those who don't listen and don't seem to care about what matters most to us! Help me make this possible in November! The only way for me to even get on the ballot is by getting 5,000+ signatures from registered voters in 417-land. Candidates affiliated with the major parties merely file and pay $100! Before the campaign even begins, I'll have to prove that I'm the most determined, dedicated candidate in the race! Help me show the major parties that Southwest Missouri wants representation for the people, not the parties this November!

I am a domestic violence survivor. Judge Foxman of Deland, Florida denied me an injunction for protection while my abusers were locked up, charged with battery with bodily harm. After I divorced my abuser, my kids were taken, brainwashed and alienated against me; 3 jobs, healthcare benefits, 5 homes, credit destroyed, all my possessions gone - I lost everything. My grandbabies are being taught the same vicious cycle of abuse. An undiagnosed malignant narcissist has made my life unliveable; justice revictimized me.

What kind of controversial security firm employs a mass murderer? The multinational corporation G4S is the answer, and the details are even worse. The Orlando Mass Murderer was reported by his coworker several times for using slurs against “gay people, blacks, Jews, and women” and also for “making threats of violence.” G4S should have done something. Instead, G4S did nothing and now over a hundred people — mostly LGBT and Latinx — are dead or seriously injured. If this were any other organization the government would have been knocking its doors down to investigate it for being complicit in terrorism. G4S does controversial security work for governments all over the world, including the imprisonment and deportation of immigrants. No one should be profiting off the imprisonment and deportation of human beings, much less a security company that fails to take action on security risks within its own ranks. Former G4S chief executive, Nick Buckles, probably described the values of the company best when he said: “There is nothing like a political crisis to stimulate a bit of change.” This was in reference to how the company was able to increase profits in the Netherlands after the assassination of a politician there. G4S should never be allowed to deal with a “political crisis” again. Take a stand against the bigotry and homophobia of the Orlando Mass Murderer. Tell your member of Congress to end all contracts with G4S and to begin an investigation into the multinational corporation immediately. Tell them to also end the practice of profit when it comes to the imprisonment and deportation of human beings.

The Forward reports that former Congressman Robert Wexler is putting pressure on the Democratic Platform Committee not to include language about the occupation of the West Bank in the Democratic Party Platform. [1] Addressing J Street's annual conference in March 2015, White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough said, “An occupation that has lasted more than 50 years must end.” [2] If President Obama's Chief of Staff can call for the occupation to end, the Democratic Party Platform can do it too. Urge the Democratic Platform Committee to include language about the occupation of the West Bank by signing our petition.

Jeff Wood is scheduled for execution on August 24, 2016. We need to persuade the Texas governor and members of the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles to commute the death sentence to a term in prison. I have known Jeff's family for several years. His sister Terri Been is leading the effort to #savejeffwood. She has testified to the Texas Legislature to ban executions under the Law of Parties and spoken out many times to save her brother from an unjust execution.

In 912 days after Sandy Hook, there were 998 mass shootings. Kids are dying. It must stop. Assault weapons are not for personal defense, they are for mass murder or war. The founding fathers had single shot muskets and never imagined individuals armed with assault weapons. Stop mass killings.

We, as a country, have just been confronted with a horrific hate crime in Orlando which taxed our national blood supply. As a retired trauma nurse practitioner it's very frustrating to not be able to donate blood because I'm gay despite being in a monogamous relationship for 30 years.

To demand elected officials to act and pass stricter gun laws.

Bernie Sanders has more individual financial contributors and has regularly packed stadiums beyond capacity. Oddly voting numbers are substantially lower than poles predicted. These low predicted numbers are a red flag for election tampering. With all the organized ways that voters have been disenfranchised, we are attempting to simply compile a list of declared votes for Bernie Sanders to use as a comparison to the actual numbers of votes officially counted.

With exit 57 serving as a prominent gateway to Auburn fans, prospective students, opponents and the like, "Cam Newton Run" recognizes one of Auburn's most famous graduates and athletes who has served as a prominent and effective ambassador for Auburn both on and off the field. This renane also serves as a way to depoliticize what may be considered by many in this community to be a painful yet imminent name change . WDE and thanks for the support.
