• Tell Facebook to Wake Up and Permanently Ban Rena Nicole
    For a couple of years, a Facebook user by the name of Rena Nicole (https://www.facebook.com/RenaNicole1?ref=br_rs) - She also goes by the names of Rena Hilty and Rena Nicole Smith - has been harassing and stalking me and several of my friends. She has created pages and sock accounts specifically for the purpose of harassing us, two of these sock accounts are Woody Green and Iliana Sanchez. In the past, she created a page titled “Pro-Aborts Are Ugly”, where she took photos off mine and my friends’ profiles and posted them to harass and ridicule us. She also encouraged her page’s members to do the same. The page was taken down, but Rena has revived the practice on her page “I Acknowledge “Pro-Choice” Means Pro Abortion” (https://www.facebook.com/prochoicemeansproabortion). One post on the page has been removed by Facebook numerous times, and each time Rena reposts it. She also admins another page, "Pro-Abort Ignorance Wall of Shame" (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pro-Abort-Ignorance-Wall-Of-Shame/600998700003572) which she uses for the same purpose as she used "Pro-Aborts Are Ugly" and "I Acknowledge "Pro Choice" Means Pro Abortion". Everyone who calls her out or reports her gets shot down or banned from Facebook. The page, Rena’s post and her accounts have been reported for harassment several times on Facebook, but Facebook has done nothing about them, going so far as to say they do not violate the Facebook Community Standards or the Facebook Terms of Service, even though they all clearly violate the Facebook Community Standards and Terms of Service. From the Facebook Community Standards: "We don’t tolerate bullying or harassment. We allow you to speak freely on matters and people of public interest, but remove content that appears to purposefully target private individuals with the intention of degrading or shaming them. This content includes, but is not limited to: - Pages that identify and shame private individuals, - Images altered to degrade private individuals, - Photos or videos of physical bullying posted to shame the victim...” And though they’re not mentioned, socks created to bully or harass people also fall into the category. By allowing Rena’s behavior to continue, Facebook is violating its own Terms of Service and Community Standards. They are showing that they do tolerate bullying and harassment. This is getting to be a matter where the police may be notified and legal action is taken against both Facebook and Rena.

  • Boycott GM/Kid Rock
    I am a Detroiter. My ancestors fled the south due to what they experienced regarding the terror of the Klan and the rebel flag which is their signature just like the burning cross. It sends a message of hate and intolerance and bigotry and ignorance to the feelings of others.

  • Domestic Violence Restraining Orders Should Last As Long As The Victim Is Still In Fear
    My daughter was held at knifepoint by her unstable ex-boyfriend. She was pregnant at the time and had her 4-year-old son in the backseat. Her ex drove at speeds of 100 miles an hour and threatened their lives as she begged him to stop the car and let them out!! Her precious 4-year-old kept screaming, "Just do what he says, mommy!" because he knew this man would kill them!! After he released them, she was able to get a restraining order. She is now in a custody battle. When she went back to extend the restraining order the judge said even though she knew my daughter was still fearful she would not extend the restraining order because he hadn't assaulted her since the last restraining order was put in place. Do victims and their children have to be hurt or killed in order to extend a restraining order? As long as a victim is in danger, it should be extended for a lifetime, if necessary! Please Sign My Petition!!!

  • Congress: Defend the Iran deal. Don't let Republicans start a war with Iran!
    The Obama Administration and five other world powers have reached a historic, diplomatic agreement that will prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon—potentially setting us on a path to end decades of hostility. Now, Democrats in Congress face a stark choice: Will they support peace—or allow Republicans to thwart diplomacy and risk another war of choice in the Middle East? If Congress rejects a diplomatic solution, while maintaining that allowing Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon is unacceptable, the only logical alternative is military action. Iran is a much larger country, with a much more sophisticated military, than Iraq or Afghanistan. War with Iran would be a deadly, costly quagmire. This should be a total no-brainer for Democrats who, for more than a decade, have watched runaway spending on the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan cost precious lives—and siphon off precious federal spending that could have been directed to meet local needs and opportunities. Yet right now, too many Democrats in Congress are perilously close to joining the Republican sabotage campaign. They're feeling acute pressure from lobbyists who oppose diplomacy while fending off unrelenting attack ads paid for by war hawks on the right. The American public backs a diplomatic deal with Iran by a 2-1 margin. Nonproliferation, nuclear policy, and national security experts agree that a diplomatic resolution is by far the best way to ensure that Iran never builds a nuclear weapon. And the Obama Administration has promised to go all out to defend this hard-won and verifiable deal. MoveOn members have been staunch defenders of diplomacy—and the peace it represents—for years. We've made tens of thousands of calls and generated nearly two hundred thousand petition signatures in support of diplomacy with Iran. Now it's time to protect the deal for which we've fought so hard for so long.

  • Curry County Commissioners: We the people of Curry County NM are asking for Change
    We the people of Curry County are asking the Curry County Commissioners to remove Ms. Tori Sandoval, and Mr. Lance Pyle of their job duties as the Curry County jail administrator and county manager, respectively, for the following reasons listed below in the body of this petition. Lance Pyle, the current manager has allowed Tori Sandoval to cause harm to inmates, to the facility and to employees because of her lack of experience and education. His failed supervision of her shows derelict of duties that are written within the personnel rules of the county. During Mr. Pyle’s term, he has not been able to satisfactorily meet established performance and efficiency standards to be able to make decisions in reference to Curry County Detention Center allowing endless settlements and lawsuits against the county to occur because of his lack of ability to obey the law, adhere to personnel rules and follow-up with employee’s that have contacted him with true complaints about the CCADC and the current admin of the facility. By doing this Mr. Pyle and performing a management style that is tacit in nature, he has allowed the doors to be opened to many unethical practices currently taking place at CCADC. Mr. Pyle and the County Commissioners past and present have unjustifiably terminated or fired many educated and informed administrators which have resulted in extensive litigation costing the county heavy financial expenses and duress. Tori Sandoval current Administrator of Curry County Adult detention center has demonstrated poor judgment and management skills and has exasperated others to voluntarily resign or quit because she plays favoritism amongst many employee’s, creating a hostile work environment and allowing the CCADC to become a working hazard conditions resulting in the abuse of inmates, letting sexual harassment go unnoticed, short staff, and not following policy and procedure protocols when the facility is short staffed. Tori Sandoval has exhaustedly squandered county funds on hiring and training detention officers as the county went through over 200 employees since she has been administrator of CCADC, resulting again in unsafe working environment and unnecessary fiscal burden on the county. Tori Sandoval has engaged in manipulated mind games e.g. favoritism amongst inmates by allowing contraband into the facility as a birthday cake for inmates. Recently, it was disclosed there was a serious health condition within the jail’s interior cells. Tori Sandoval has known about the black mold in the facility and did not take measures to remedy the situation until it was leaked out into the public. In the course of her official duties, Ms. Sandoval has shredded disciplinary write-ups so her favorite employees can have better positions and better salary benefits and long term employment. She has cost the citizens of Curry County endless dollars by re-hiring and firing people causing we, the Curry County tax payers to “fork up fork out “ hard-earned dollars to provide the county the funds to hire and train staff. We the Citizens of Clovis are tired of our Current County Commissioners not finding remedies for these serious and kind of administrative issues, and are asking for Mr. Lance Pyle County Manager and Tori Sandoval Administrator of Curry County Detention Center to be removed from their current duties and begin a fresh search for competent and qualified individuals to replace them.

  • Open Kentucky's Primary Election Process! #KyLeg #KyGov
    This petition is being started, and should be a clarion call for the People to do a similar petition in their respective states. For too long our primary election process in Kentucky has been closed to those who are not main-stream or popular with the political establishment. Candidates for elected office, who are really good, are being deliberately and effectually overlooked by the voters of our state because they are not regarded as popular or friendly with the political party establishment or power brokers. Not too long ago I was reading an article from http://voteforbernie.org/ - Just Copy & Paste this Link in your Web Browser in order to see what is being discussed here. The political market is being cornered everyday: http://www.aclu-ky.org/article/voting-rights/ - Just Copy & Paste this Link in your Web Browser in order to see what is being discussed here. Our vote and voters, as well as future voters, are being oppressed. IF you are not popular or considered main- stream by the political establishment, you are out of luck, especially in Kentucky. And if you are not main-stream or friendly with political party power brokers, the likelihood of you getting on the ballot in the Commonwealth of Kentucky is slim to none - http://lwv.org/our-work - and this MUST END. These things are arcane and restrictive to a voter or potential voter who may not wish to align themselves with a main-stream political party. That is why we need free, fair and open elections - primary and general elections, throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky and across the United States of America - to ENSURE that our voices and our choices are heard. More voices and more choices equals Democracy! IF you are a Voter, a Concerned Citizen or BOTH, please join with me in OPENING the Primary Process in Our State. Thank you! -- David R. Davidson P.S. COPY & PASTE these links into your web browser and JOIN these erstwhile groups and organizations, on Facebook and online, as we work to open the primary election process in our State. Thank you!

  • PROMOTE HONOR, NOT HATE!
    Macon's City Center (2nd Street) should honor and highlight the best of what Macon has to offer. The confederate statute that currently fills the place is not a reflection of Macon now, and certainly not of our future. Sign this petition if you support replacing the confederate statue with the Otis Redding Statute or a combined community art piece led by artist representing neighborhoods from across Macon-Bibb.

    It's absolutely ridiculous that we let the food industry get away with the shenanigans that we refused to put up with from the tobacco industry. It's time we recognize the damage done and hold those responsible accountable.

  • BREAK THE MONOPOLY that causes Bankruptcy and Hardship for Family Farmers!
    I was denied a grain dealers license, State of Louisiana, Starting July 1, 2015. I met all qualifications, including proof of funds. The farming community in Louisiana requested me to obtain grain dealers licensure to sell rice. Harvest season is eminent this year with last years grain still in holding bins. This drives the prices further down. Farmers cannot profit or even sell= bankruptcy or no rice farming. I need a license now not in several months after harvest season. I am a female, and minority business owner denied a license and denied the right to conduct rice sales.
