I am personally offended as a native New Yorker that Hillary Clinton refuses to debate here, where she served us for 7 years as senator. Hillary Clinton does not make the rules; we live in a democracy. Bernie Sanders has agreed to the debates she requested, she must agree to debate Bernie Sanders in N.Y.

While I understand Senator Jones' desire to promote the tourism, I spent nearly 30 years of my professional life protecting the natural environment in eastern Kentucky including the unique ecosystems found at Bad Branch Falls Nature Preserve, the Hensley-Pine Mountain Wildlife Management Area, and Pine Mountain. This proposal is short-sighted, politically expedient, and demonstrates a total lack of concern for the unique natural resources of the Commonwealth. PLEASE CONTACT your representatives in the General Assembly to stop SN 102. PLEASE CONTACT take the time to contact Senator Jones, Capital Annex: 502-564-2470, Work: 606-432-5777, Re-elect Ray Jones Facebook Page: https://m.facebook.com/SenatorRayJones/photos/a.1630837650519962.1073741825.1630836383853422/1630837660519961/

We want Kenyon to clearly remain gun-free. We live in an area where many private citizens own guns, and we would like there to be no ambiguity after the passage of this law as to whether those guns are allowed on campus.

As the parent of a 3rd grader who has been invited to participate in the Georgia Day Parade, I find it offensive and demeaning to myself and my child. To re-enact history, children were not allowed to associate freely. Therefore this parade and the associated celebrations need to be discontinued immediately. Tax payers funds are being used to facilitate the recognition of a period of time when slavery and the abuse of black persons was not only accepted and legal but also encouraged. As there is no parade to commemorate the Holocaust, there should be none to draw attention to a grievous period of time in Georgia's history. As history denotes, blacks were not afforded the same privileges as whites. There were no blacks celebrating anything with whites back then, and if we are going to re-enact history then it should be done correctly. I would instead suggest that students be given the opportunity to dress up as the career professionals they aspire to be and embrace a positive forecast for their futures.

WE WON'T LET LEONARD PELTIER DIE IN PRISON!

This petition is to point out the ridiculousness of allowing an office as important as the President of the USA to be chosen in such an inefficient and easily corruptible manner.

Western Environmental Law Center is a nonprofit, public-interest environmental law firm. Our expert attorneys are ready to use the full power of the law and the courts to protect wolves. In December 2015 we won a case (Cascadia Wildlands v. Woodruff) that prohibits Wildlife Services from killing Washington’s wolves. Join us in extending these protections to wolves in Oregon!

Edit: On December 6, 2017 an announcement during an Inclusion and Diversity assembly that the school "reimagined" prom so that any student regardless of sexual orientation, religion, culture, etc. may attend prom with whomever they want. Thank you to the 2,765 people who backed this online and the many many more in the community. -Matt Barrett Dear all, It has come to the attention of the student body that same-sex couples are not being allowed to attend prom. The Saint John's mission statement speaks of "Respect and appreciation for individual differences," but not allowing every student to express themselves to their full extent contradicts this mission. In 2003, Massachusetts removed the ban on gay marriage. It is now 2016; gay marriage is legal nationally. Isn't it about time that we, the Saint John's Pioneers, took a step forward and set an example for our community and embraced Jesus' message to love one another? This is a violation of the civil rights of members of our community. Every student should be able to spend prom with someone that is important to them. This kind of discrimination needs to be stopped. Please sign and share if you support this petition!

Donald Trump has repeatedly belittled Latinos, Muslims, Black people, women and people with disabilities with his hate speech, misogyny, Islamophobia, and racism. This has greatly inflamed a national atmosphere already hostile to these groups and is inspiring a dramatic rise in harassment and violent attacks against these groups. Now companies like Google, AT&T, Coca Cola, Cisco, Xerox, and Adobe Systems are planning to bankroll the Donald Trump-led Republican National Convention. But reports are showing that many of these companies are growing increasingly concerned about attaching their brand to anything involving Trump and his divisive rhetoric. With a nonviolent public push from us, we can convince these companies to dump their sponsorships. And if these companies cancel their RNC sponsorships it could put enough financial pressure on the Republican Party and the RNC to bar Trump from the convention!

Last year, elevated levels of highly toxic lead were found in more than 3100 young children in New Jersey, yet every year of his administration Governor Christie has raided New Jersey's Lead Hazard Control Assistance Fund in order to balance the budget; and this has had devastating consequences. According to newly released data, 11 New Jersey municipalities, including Newark, Jersey City and Trenton, were found to have a higher percentage of children affected by lead poisoning than Flint, MI, where lead in the drinking water has become a national story. There is no safe level of lead in children. In New Jersey, exposure to lead comes primarily from paint in old homes. And without funding for lead poisoning prevention and abatement, thousands more of New Jersey's children, especially in low-income and minority communities, will continue to suffer permanent damage. Governor Christie will announce his 2017 spending plan on February 16, and we need to ensure that lead poisoning prevention is included in his budget. Despite being entirely preventable, lead poisoning has devastating consequences for the children and communities affected. New Jersey can and will do better than this.

On January 1, 2016 the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, otherwise known as the SNAP/EBT program, has changed its eligibility requirements. Such criteria changes will effect those who are 18-49, homeless, underemployed, unemployed for extended amounts of time, and citizens who are pending disability. These new changes will allow very few citizens to receive SNAP benefits for a period of 3 months in a 3 years. The new criteria is biased and does not fix the problem but only worsens it. Mothers who receive SNAP are not subjected to the new special work requirements.
