Texas A&M is changing, and sometimes those changes happen too quickly. Such is the case with Cain Hall. Moving student services to West Campus creates considerable distance between students and the help many of them need to successfully matriculate through A&M. Students in crisis can't get a counselor without travel; physically disabled students must travel on buses to reach accommodations. This means that our more vulnerable populations are at risk. And we ask President Young to refrain from moving these offices until new on-campus accommodations are built or found.

When this petition is signed by 100,000 people I will deliver it to my representatives in the Senate. Senator Ben Cardin and Senator Barbara Mikulski.

As the mother of two elementary school children, I believe that schools should remain gun free zones. Weapons do not belong in the classroom, concealed or otherwise. Guns on schools premises, other than on trained law enforcement officers, allow for a greater chance of an unintentional or accidental shootings. Vote NO on Senate Bills 442 and 561!

I am a human rights lawyer who represents immigrant and refugee children. Following last year's "surge" in families and children seeking refuge in the U.S., the Obama Administration increased funding to Mexico to step up arrests and summary deportations of Central American refugees so as to prevent them from reaching the United States. As the New York Times and the Guardian have recently reported, Mexico is carrying out these deportations in wholesale disregard of its obligation under international law not to return persons to countries in which their lives are at risk. The United States must stop funding Mexico's deportation program until reputable international bodies determine that Mexico is complying with its obligation to provide asylum to those fleeing horrendous violence.

I am starting this petition because Big Money has stolen our government. Big Money controls the political agenda infused with propaganda as legitimate dialog while disregarding the priorities of a nation desperately in need of honest debate and solutions to its many problems.

A woman was jailed for 30 years for an act of a man, who served only 2 years for the same act. This needs to stop. This is currently the law in too many (29) states and they are called "Failure to Protect" laws. In 7 states, LIFE IN PRISON can be a sentence for a woman for a man's violence.

Residents of the small town of Franklin, NY are the latest eminent domain victims of the natural gas pipeline companies. This will be the fate of many more small communities across the state and the nation. Please watch our YouTube video. CUT AND PASTE THIS LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXbPhy8Gh2Y and sign a petition to Governor Cuomo to enforce the Clean Water Act to stop the pipeline from using eminent domain for corporate gain.

My heart lives with the Krab and I cannot handle a meal without it, let alone a semester.

Saturday Night Live recently announced that Donald Trump would serve as host of the program on November 7, 2015, one year from the 2016 general election. The popular comedy show, which has been criticized for not adequately representing Latinos, is broadcasted by NBC - the same network that terminated its relationship with Donald Trump over his derogatory comments about Mexican immigrants. Now, just three months after cutting ties with Donald Trump, NBC is seeking to boost its ratings at the expense of Latinos and immigrants by allowing Trump to host one of its most popular shows. By inviting Donald Trump to host Saturday Night Live, NBC is demonstrating that it doesn’t care about its Latino and pro-immigrant viewers. It is providing a platform for Trump’s insulting attacks on immigrants and calling it entertainment -- something we do not find funny. It is shameful for NBC to allow Donald Trump to host Saturday Night Live, a comedy show when one of the main policies he has promised would rip apart millions of immigrant and Latino families. NBC cannot bill hateful rhetoric as comedy, much less entertainment. Tell NBC to drop Donald Trump as host of Saturday Night Live!

I join Equality Virginia and other fair-minded Americans in writing you in regards to your treatment of John Murphy. This country has a long and important history of upholding religious freedom. That right, which has preserved everyone’s ability to worship and believe as they choose, should not be repurposed to allow individuals or institutions to impose harm on others. A life-long Catholic, Mr. Murphy was hired by a lay governing board as the Executive Director of the St. Francis Home. The Home is run by lay employees and admission is open to all qualifying people over 50 without preference or discrimination based on race, creed, religion, gender, or country of origin. Upon receiving his employee benefits paperwork, you ordered his dismissal because he has a same-sex spouse. Religious organizations have a protected right to make decisions about hiring and firing people who are ministers, and can teach or spread faith free from government interference. But for positions that do not involve ministerial duties, such as leading the St. Francis Home, our longstanding laws against discrimination apply to both religious and secular organizations. Most Americans, including a majority of Catholics, are shocked that you would fire Mr. Murphy solely because of who he loves. Employees should be judged on their qualifications, experience and the job they do – nothing more, and nothing less.

There was a gunman on the loose near my granddaughters nursery school outside Sacramento last October. My daughter and her husband went through hell waiting for the gunman to be caught.

One of our best hopes in the fight against climate change is the massive explosion of rooftop solar, which has more than tripled since 2010! But multi-billionaire, Warren Buffett, has launched a full scale attack on the rooftop solar market in Utah. Buffett, through Rocky Mountain Power — a utility that his Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate owns — is urging the state’s Public Service Commission (PUC) to add a range of fees on homeowners who qualify for the state’s net metering program. The PUC rejected the proposal last year, but Rocky Mountain Power is now pushing for a reconsideration of Utah’s net metering program and claims that regulators should not consider environmental benefits of the program, despite the fact that Berkshire Hathaway Energy’s climate pledge states exactly the opposite. Public hearings just occurred and the Public Utilities Commission is deliberating now -- a final decision is currently pending. Rocky Mountain Power claims that net metering raises costs for other users, even though studies have shown exactly the opposite. But Buffett’s real reason is much more self-centered: rooftop solar cuts into the profits of his utility. If the changes Buffett seeks go through, they would destroy the solar market in Utah, costing thousands of jobs and slowing the fight against climate change.
