The brutal slaughter of the lion Cecil, a Celebrity tourist attraction of Zimbabwe, was poached by American hunter Walter Palmer, who has been trophy hunting for years. Cecil's carcass would have been shipped to this country legally, had it not been impounded as evidence of criminal activity in Zimbabwe. Details of the story are here: http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/31/world/zimbabwe-cecil-lion-dentist/index.html We as a nation need to BAN the importation of carcasses and body parts, otherwise known as "trophies" into this country by American hunters. We as a nation should NO LONGER support the decimation of the world's wildlife for this sick sense of entertainment. We no longer want to support the practices of Cowardly and Arrogant Hunters who pay for the perverted pleasure of killing innocent and defenseless and often endangered wildlife. We need to BAN the importation of the SPOILS of the HUNT NOW!

My petition is about legalizing Medical Cannabis at the federal level for all states. My son, Cameron, has a very rare condition called Rasmussen's encephalitis, also known as chronic focal encephalitis; it is a rare inflammatory neurological disease. This disease is characterized by frequent and severe seizures, loss of motor skills and speech, hemiparesis (paralysis on one side of the body), encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), and dementia. While most if not all seizure meds have severe side effects for his body. a drug from cannabis (CBD), a compound derived from cannabis has been known to treat this syndrome and decrease seizures by 54% if not more in children with this syndrome. There also needs to be a study in conjunction with this treatment for this very rare condition, so kids like my son Cameron can live as close to a normal life as possible with this rare condition.This really needs the world's attention.

This petition is to silence Pat Robertson from spreading hatred for all LGBT people, he needs to be taken off all tv and radio shows and stations. It is time to stop the downright hateful words he is spreading to his cult.

I want to help Africans who are living in countries where freedom of expression is a myth.

The Clean Power Plan regulates carbon emissions from the most significant source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States: power plants. It provides a flexible framework for states to reduce their emissions by 30% through advancing the role of renewable energy, installing carbon filters on existing power plants, and updating older power plants. Not only will the Clean Power Plant reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it will also reduce American dependence on foreign oil, and benefit the economy by creating thousands of jobs in the renewable energy industry.

We have said for years that continuing fracking in Pennsylvania will lead to a public health nightmare for our state. Now we have the documents to prove it. Pennsylvanians Against Fracking steering committee member Food & Water Watch has obtained documents from the Pennsylvania Department of Health showing that the agency has had a clear pattern of responding inadequately to fracking-related health complaints. In many instances, the Department of Health responded to serious health complaints by pushing the complaint onto another agency or suggesting that individuals seek out expensive tests on their own dime. Much of this negligence occurred before Governor Wolf came into office, but the problem is now his responsibility. Governor Wolf must act immediately to halt fracking in Pennsylvania now, and put forward a plan to help individuals already adversely impacted by fracking. Join us in calling on Gov. Wolf to protect the people of Pennsylvania.

Hearing loss and the associated problems affect a very large number of seniors, and their families. Personally, as my hearing worsens, it is sometimes impossible to understand what people are saying. This gives me and millions of others the feeling of being out of touch with family, friends and the rest of society. Hearing aids are out of reach for most retired people. Support this petition for the sake of your parents and eventually yourself.

Because a popular vote is the fairest way to elect anyone.

We've tried war over and over again with terrible results. It's insane is to do the same thing and expect a different outcome. Let's save our kids and give diplomacy a chance.

I am outraged by this heinous act. It is offensive and should be banned. The dentist's lack of remorse and entitled demeanor makes this case even more intolerable. The guides are being charged and have to face justice, I think it is fair to bring the man who pulled the trigger to justice. He is blaming someone else. Let the courts decide. These animals don't belong to one person, they belong to all of us.

We need to make people more aware of Bernie Sanders and inform them about who he is and what his ideas are if he's elected. It's not fair that they only mention Hillary Clinton all the time. Give Bernie Sanders more exposure. You can't pick a candidate if you are not informed.
