Spectra Energy’s plan to build the Algonquin Pipeline Expansion represents an attack on our community. Spectra has proposed a 42 inch, high pressure shale gas pipeline that would run within 100 feet of Indian Point nuclear facilities. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has continually ignored the calls of citizens and elected officials for independent health and safety assessments of the massive Algonquin Pipeline Expansion - giving Spectra Energy notice to proceed with construction, while blocking attempts by citizens to reverse their decision. Noted nuclear and pipeline safety experts have testified that the pipeline poses a serious risk to Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant, on which many depend for employment, and within the evacuation zone of which millions live and work. Pipeline construction will necessitate Spectra/Algonquin to forcibly take private and public lands by use of eminent domain (or the threat of such action). Construction will snarl traffic, damage roads and infrastructure, and leave local taxpayers to foot the bill. It will clear cut thousands of trees and destroy acres of public park lands. Under normal operating conditions, the massive pipeline left behind will spew pollution into the air we breathe, contributing to already poor air quality, diminishing property values, and harming our way of life. In the worst case scenario this pipeline will place thousands at risk should it rupture in our densely populated communities. The pipeline will be only 400ft from Buchanan-Verplanck Elementary School's 300 students. Our first responders will be expected to risk their lives to respond to an accident. Finally, We recognize that expanding the delivery of fracked gas in any form commits us to a future that not only destroys our health, food sources, and landscape, but threatens sustainable jobs, locking working families into ever escalating home-maintenance expenses that will crush the average budget. *Signers of this petition will also be asked to join others in our communities, and engage in acts of civil disobedience to protect the land, water, and land by directly stopping this proposed pipeline expansion project. We make this pledge for all who are living today, as well as for all future generations.

Some people on Disability do not drive, so we see no benefit from "lower gas prices" and we are tired of being the punching bags of the GOP, when we have real challenges just to survive!

Following increased Russian military intervention in Syria, Hillary Clinton joined Republican calls for the US to impose a "no fly zone" in Syria. [1] President Obama has called these proposals for a "no-fly zone" in Syria "half-baked" "mumbo jumbo." [2] Senator Bernie Sanders is standing with President Obama against this dangerous proposal for military escalation. “We must be very careful about not making a complex and dangerous situation in Syria even worse,” Sanders said, warning that a no-fly zone in Syria "could get us more deeply involved in that horrible civil war and lead to a never-ending U.S. entanglement in that region.” [3] Former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley is siding with President Obama and Senator Sanders. "Secretary Clinton is always quick for the military intervention. I believe that a no-fly zone right now is not advisable," O’Malley said. "No-fly zones sound attractive, but no-fly zones also have to be enforced. And given the fact that the Russian air force is in the airspace over Syria, this could lead to an escalation of Cold War proportions because of an accident, and I don't think that's in the best interests of the United States," O'Malley said.

Oklahoma needs to be more progressive and not be seen as a buffoon state. With all the botched executions lately, another botched execution will seal our reputation in the world. Let us step forward and end executions in our state for good.

Children should not be hit. Women cannot legally be hit, animals cannot legally be hit, if an adult strikes another adult they will be arrested, yet it's legal to hit a child in the name of discipline without question. Why are the most fragile and vulnerable allowed to be hurt? This needs to stop.

In the light of the recent Russian bombing campaign against ISIS, tensions are mounting from the US-NATO- Gulf States Coalition, who are still clamoring for “regime change” and complaining about Russia targeting US “assets” meaning the “moderate rebels”. Unfortunately, the US has been trying to intervene and bring about “regime change” in Syria for the past several years by funding, training, and supporting “moderate rebels”. These so-called “moderate-rebels” have either defected to ISIS and/or are affiliated with ISIS, taking US weapons with them. These “assets” are not something worth protecting. Since Russia is taking care of the terrorists, then so be it, what's the fuss all about? For the US to try to effect “regime change” by any means necessary, is contrary to our democratic values and dangerous. This is especially ludicrous since Syria has never threatened the United States. As a nation, we should not be trying to subvert a sovereign government, and especially not using US tax dollars for these destructive and violent purposes. Our role in the world as a superpower should be to bring peace and not conflict. If this war is going to be stopped and Syria going to be saved, we need to completely revamp our foreign policy and take the lead in untangling ourselves from the situation, and encourage countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey to do the same. The terrorists need to not be protected under the banner of “assets”. Also, negotiations need to start soon. We can save Syria by pressuring Washington to stop using our tax dollars and our CIA for training “rebels” and other types of covert activity, and possibly military escalation. No more money, nor arms, nor training, and no more selling arms, overt or covert. America doesn't need to be involved in more conflict in Syria and especially not with Russia... Instead, let's use our superpower ability to be an instrument of peace. Diplomacy is the way... 1. Stop the training and funding of rebels with American tax dollars. 2. Stop the US flow of arms into the region. 3. Pressure Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey to stop arming, facilitating and protecting ISIS. 4. Pressure Turkey to stop allowing foreign fighters to spill over their border. 5. Support diplomacy. Talk to all parties involved including the Syrian government. Also, ask countries like Russia, China, Iran, and others who are willing to negotiate in the situation. 6. Collaborate with Syria and Iran and Russia to destroy ISIS. 7. Do not get involved militarily overtly or covertly in the region. 8. Support the Syrian government to help restabilize Syria once again. Before reform, there must be stability. The Syrians who actually live in Syria must be an intrical part of this conversation to make decisions for determining the destiny of their own country. 9. End the sanctions. 10. Help the refugees come back home and help Syria rebuild. Related articles...
