Among all the candidates running to be President of the USA in the 2016 election, Bernie Sanders policies and values are the most aligned with those of His Holiness, Pope Francis. Like the Pope, he has been an unwavering advocate and voice for economic and social justice, for the poor and the vulnerable in America and the world. All we ask is for His Holiness to become familiar with Bernie Sanders, his political platform and his track record, and if possible, to meet.

James Blake's arrest is a wake-up call for the city New York and beyond. Racial profiling and overly aggressive police tactics endanger our communities instead of making them safer. These tactics must end now.

Racial profiling and police misconduct are devastating communities of color.

Anne Arundel County residents suffering from cancer, HIV/AIDS, seizures, autoimmune diseases, post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injuries and other debilitating health conditions should not have to suffer in the darkness. They should not have to travel long distances to procure a medicine that their doctor has deemed effective and beneficial. Anne Arundel County residents should be afforded the right to local access to medicinal marijuana which can improve their way of life. Please sign the petition and tell County Executive Steve Schuh and the other members of the Anne Arundel County Council to be proactive in safely and effectively structuring the County’s medicinal cannabis program.

Like most of us in the U.S., I am a descendant of immigrants. My ancestors fled the famine in Ireland and oppression in Germany. I feel that I have a responsibility to help others desperate to live in our country and make it better.

Harvard talks a lot about common spaces, and one of the nicest green open spaces on campus is the MAC Quad. People lay out in the sun and read and several sports teams practice there. It would be a real shame to lose a third of that space to a parking lot.

The United States is one of the only developed countries in the world that doesn't provide people paid sick days. In New Jersey alone a staggering 1.2 million working people lack paid sick time they can use to care for themselves or their loved ones when illness strikes. Over the last two years nine municipalities -- including Jersey City, Montclair, Newark and Trenton -- have passed local laws that allow workers to earn paid sick time. Princeton could - and should - be next. Tell the Princeton Municipal Council to pass a strong paid sick days law!

Over 100,000 Americans have signed up to come out in support of Bernie Sander's candidacy. The people have clearly spoken, now the park service needs to do the people's will and set a date.

Mike Huckabee made light of the Syrian Refugee Crisis at a conference in St. Louis, where he said, “Are they really escaping tyranny, are they escaping poverty, or are they really just coming because we’ve got cable TV? I don't mean to be trite." His comments are offensive and do not accurately represent the extreme violence that the Syrian refugees are fleeing and the struggle they face trying to leave Syria and find safety. As the world takes in and cares for refugees, this GOP candidate's comments are deplorable and he should apologize for being so out of touch and cruel. APOLOGIZE, MIKE HUCKABEE!

The senior class should be able to wear tank tops under their togas rather than t-shirts during spirit week. As stated in the handbook, "clothing with spaghetti straps, or which is strapless, backless, low-cut, see-through, or which reveals the midriff or undergarments should not be worn in school." Wearing a one-inch tank top does not break the dress code, so wearing it during Spirit Week should not change these rules.
