• Stop The Eradication and Slaughtering of Animals on Mauna Kea
    I am starting this petition because Hawaiians Introduced the sheep and animals to the island for food. Now the environmentalists just use our tax money to fly a helicopter 2-5 times a month slaughtering these animals and letting them rot in the mountain. we have to think about our future and hunters and gatherers love to use the Aina to put food on the table for their families. Help speak for the animals

  • Petition to Stop Harmful Major Changes to the 2015 West Virginia Aged & Disabled Waiver
    Harmful Proposed Major Changes would: 1. prevent myself, and many other Aged & Disabled West Virginians, from being able to acquire (from our own budgets) necessary items (like wheelchair tires/parts, special mobility devices allowing safe winter travel, adaptive bathroom and emergency evacuation safety devices, etc) that are approved and needed but are NOT covered by traditional medicaid. 2. would force myself and many others to accept and pay for costly and intrusive 'Case Management' Services we neither want nor need. 3. would leave over 25% of participants with less mileage allotments then they require to meet their needs, taking away their 'life line' to the community, and disproportionately negatively affecting citizens in more rural areas. 4. Because the WV DHHR - Home Community Based Services Office misrepresented, under-reported, and then took no actions to resolve concerns reported to them during the official public comment period. Full Details are available here: http://tinyurl.com/StopHarmful2015WV-ADWchanges

  • Please Grant Breland D. Davis Clemency
    Breland has been away from his family and friends, for over 11 years. Breland is very remorseful of his past and would like the opportunity to show the world the man he has become. Breland feels strongly about giving back to the community and wants to be a role model to others: showing them there is more to life then getting in trouble.

  • Free Anthony L. Massey Case#2:13VC3439 - Demand Plea Bargaining with a Lie Detector
    Anthony L. Massey has been in prison for a crime he did not commit for over 15 years, because he was un-wavering in his innocence and would not admit to the crime by accepting a plea bargain. He was a victim of a trail without appropriate due process: - Lack of proper investigation - Telephone records were never subpoena - DNA test findings withheld as evidence - Local Judge gave mis-leading instructions to the jury leading to a weapons charge - He was accused of breaking and entering with no evidence of force entry - Prosecution withheld a witness that would have proven Anthony Massey's innocents with a viable alibi - Witnesses/character witnesses were never called to trial - Police submitted a tainted report that was typed by a second officer. - Police interrogation videotaped interview went missing - Anthony was denied access to a lawyer and was immediately forced to consider a plea for lesser time as an intimidation tactic - The child identified in the case was said to be slapped by Anthony Massey who has two sons of his own and don't believe in spankings. After throwing out the child endangerment charge because the child exhibited years of abuse, incidentally child protection services was never called. Please sign this petition to Free Anthony L. Massey of all charges and make PLEA BARGAINING A FEDERAL OFFENSE without the support of a lie detector device. We have too many innocent Americans in jail and prison for crimes they did not commit but agreed to take a plea for a lesser sentence. We would also like all cases of 1st time offenders that took a plea bargain to be further investigated by appropriate jurisdictions and given a lie detectors to insure justice and the possibility of innocence. Our judicial system is designed to boost the careers of lawyers, prosecutors and judges by covering up their mistakes and allowing innocent citizens to suffer instead of upholding justice.

  • Dismiss all financial and incarceration-time penalties charged to five members of "99Rise"--for t...
    This petition requests that President Barack Obama issue an Executive Order -- to remove any and all legal charges made against members of the Organization "99Rise" --for their verbal statements made in the Supreme Court of the United States of America. The actions of the members of "99Rise" in the Supreme Court should be formally noted to be acts of true heroism-- taken in the spirit of the original American Revolution which founded the United States of America. Had it not been for the heroism of people capable of acting in such a spirit -- long ago -- the United States of America would not exist.

  • Save American Wild Horses, an Endangered Species
    There are now more horses confined to pens than running free on the ranges of public owned land. The cruel methods of helicopter roundups, penning wild horses all at taxpayer expense and controlling population by slaughter in Mexico must stop. There are other alternatives known and suggested to the BLM. Billionaire ranchers have received priority over PUBLIC LAND.

  • Strengthen Wind Incentives in Washington's Cost Recovery Program
    Established in 2005, the Washington Renewable Energy Cost Recovery Program (CRP) provides an annual payment of 12 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for electricity from qualifying wind electric systems – as currently enacted – until June 2020. Several factors have limited distributed wind in Washington State, and the incentive is now being revamped primarily to benefit solar electric systems. The existing incentive rate for wind has not been sufficient to motivate consumers to act. Even though the capital costs are higher for distributed wind, the incentive rates for solar have been much higher, particularly for numerous adders not available for wind. In addition, the $5,000 annual cap on payments per participant limits the size of wind turbines that can be cost-effectively installed. Current proposed legislation, including HB 2045 and SB 5892, will either treat wind and solar technologies the same despite wind's higher capital costs, or eliminate the wind incentive entirely in 2016. Alongside efforts to revamp and extend Washington's Renewable Energy Cost Recovery Program for solar, we're urging legislators to consider wind as an important emerging source of distributed generation, jobs, and wealth for Washingtonians. Please contact your legislators and ask them to strengthen and extend the state incentive for distributed wind!

  • The Removal of Judge William A. Price (5th District)
    This man is continuously re-elected to his office, and his rulings are affecting families in Polk County on a daily basis. He is most unfair, and sides with DHS whether the evidence is Clear and Convincing the other way or not. This is a conspirator of the highest order, and his accounts should be investigated. He lies in his orders to further the agenda to bring in and embezzle federal funding in the amount of 2.4 Billion Dollars, at the behest of the Department of Human Services CPS division. This state needs to be informed and demand an investigation into his lavish lifestyle as the choice of judge for difficult DHS cases. He Controls the Polk County Sheriffs that work there, and drags people back to his courtroom when he wishes, and has people removed when he wishes. This man is a prime example of the corruption that is plaguing Polk County Iowa. If more proof of the illegal actions this man employs against Iowa citizens are needed, you are welcome to contact me, via the avenue of this petition's website.

  • California water conservation for all
    We in California are obviously suffering from a severe drought, and everyone in the state needs to do something significant. As agriculture, industry, and mining--including oil and gas drilling--use by far the most water, they need to do the most. Reduced showers, lawn irrigation and the like can only alleviate a small part of the water shortage. Governor Brown needs to require actual reduction of water use by those who use the most water and can reduce their use without undue hardship, by using watering fields at times least likely to result in evaporation and installing drip systems on an expedited basis.
