My son has recently passed away on May 26th of 2015 due to a drowning incident. He was fully clothed and was also among friends at the time it happened. To this day, nothing definite has been said to me or my family as to what exactly lead up to his drowning. We do not know definitely how it happened with my son and why. So I am raising an awareness about Wolves in Sheep's Clothing, a disguise that people wear to lure you into other directions. This is happening on U.S grounds, where people are being befriended and mislead by friendships when incidents occur as the end result and we must pay attention to it .There is always someone who knows something, yet there are not enough efforts or help when it comes to such cases. The families have to look for services and provide for themselves to get the help or raise the money, when some may not have the money or resources. In certain cases like these, they go cold and unsolved. Families will never know what actually happened to their love ones as a result they give up, yet they still live with it every day wondering what had actually happened and why. We are still waiting for answers. http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/we_are_all_bystanders https://www.psychologytoday.com/basics/bystander-effect

We need to stop Faroe Islands from financially benefiting while they slaughter pilot whales. Any company that makes money by going to the Faroe Islands is supporting this slaughter. This petition is to stop these companies from making money from a place that slaughters pilot whales. They need to stop providing cruises to Faroe Islands and to let the world know what Faroe Islands is doing is unacceptable.

We have been inundated with smoke from the wildfires. Friends and family have lost their homes. Farmers have seen their crops suffer from lack of rain. Fires and drought are a result of Global Warming and we can do something to stop that. Let's do it.

I volunteer for Planned Parenthood, so I know that the videos behind the defunding plans are slanted. Planned Parenthood of Pennsylvania doesn't participate in fetal tissue donation, so their funds should not be at risk. Defunding Planned Parenthood would put countless Pennsylvania women's' lives at risk.

One of our fellow petitioners have presented this same issue to Congress, unfortunately we need higher officials on our side. We need our voices to be heard. We, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, do not want to endure another War. This will lead to another World War which will kill millions. Outside of the picture of Barack Obama agreeing to this war, do you agree? Help us speak up for what is right. This petition is for the concerned Americans who want our country to stop falling down the hole. Stand with me and all of the others. You are much appreciated.

This is clear violation of civil rights and the clearest form of racism. This is the reason why there is civil unrest and a continuing divide between the very people who claim to protect and serve and the community they live in. This form of racism has to stop now and it our government should never allow such atrocity.

Michigan's Adventure, a 250 acre amusement park in West Michigan is applying for an exemption to their wastewater permit (#GW1010335), to allow them to discharge 5 million plus gallons of waste per year on site. As a concerned citizen and local watershed volunteer, I am asking you to contact them and request they hook up to the existing wastewater line that runs directly in front of the park. The headwaters of the Duck Creek Watershed are located in very close proximity to this waste disposal site. We need to let the Michigan DEQ and the parent company of Michigan's Adventure know we believe in protecting our watershed and environment. The company that owns Michigan's Adventure, Cedar Fair, L.P., reported over $190 million dollars in profits last year. Join me in asking the Michigan DEQ and Michigan's Adventure to do the right thing and dispose of their waste in the local wastewater system instead of dumping 5 million-plus gallons of waste at the amusement park! We have until September 3rd to make our voices heard! UPDATE: Let's keep up the pressure!!! The Muskegon Chronicle article has drawn a lot of attention to this issue. I'm leaving the petition open to let more people sign & tell Michigan's Adventure "It's Time to Hook Up!!!"

I, Dr. Patricia M. Harris, have started this petition because since 1993 on the steps of an inner-city high school, I saved one student but failed to save another from gun violence. I, too, could have been killed; however, the gunman decided to run instead of shooting me in the back. There isn’t one day of my life that I do not think about the ordeal to the point of furthering my studies as a Violentologist. Our country is worsening and we are in a state of emergency with unnecessary and unwarranted killings due to gun violence. It is clear to many that gun ownership and the lack of its control, the blatant and insensitive hurt, harm, danger and death by those who enforce and embrace laws, take precedent over the brutal, savage, and inhumane treatment, shooting and/or execution of innocent men, women and children. Enough is Enough! Denial that, “No More Needs to Be Done” will only allow violence to continue and fester. Let’s WAKE UP and ignite powerful voices for stricter laws for the possession, use, abuse, control and punishment of gun violence.

Major corporations, media entities, political figures across the political spectrum, and even Donald Trump's own business partners have denounced his hateful rhetoric towards immigrants and Latinos, but Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, and much of the GOP leadership has not. Left unchecked, hateful public debate creates a hostile environment for all immigrants and Latinos—an environment which can result in tragedy. If GOP leaders do not renounce Trump, they are supporting his hateful agenda. RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker John Boehner, and other GOP leaders and presidential candidates; your support of Donald Trump's hateful agenda and statements targeting Mexicans, immigrants and other Latinos is unacceptable. Hate speech and hateful agendas targeting a group of people—particularly by presidential candidates of major political parties—has real-life consequences. Use your authority and leadership to denounce Trump's extremist views and his hateful rhetoric; and keep hate out of the presidential debate. Use your authority and leadership to denounce Trump's extremist views and his hateful rhetoric; and keep hate out of the presidential debate.

Like millions of Americans I have lost my home , watched my income drop and a college education for my daughter seems unlikely. All this while the democrats have played defense. I believe Bernie Sanders will beat Hillary in the primary and go on to be the first president in years who will actually lead America into the future. Joe is just another folksy corporate democrat who will not rock the boat just muddy the waters.
