To have the owners of the Cleveland MLB team eliminate the name and logo of the baseball team. This name and logo are racist to the Native Americans and creates stereotypes of the Native Peoples.

Excessive fluoride exposure is well known to cause a painful bone disease known as skeletal fluorosis, as well as a discoloration of the teeth known as dental fluorosis. Excessive fluoride exposure has also been linked to a range of other chronic ailments including arthritis, bone fragility, bone and bladder cancer; thyroid disease, gastric distress, and cardiovascular disease. While the lowest doses that cause some of these effects are not yet well defined, it is clear that certain subsets of the population are particularly vulnerable to fluoride’s toxicity. Populations with heightened vulnerability to fluoride include infants, individuals with kidney disease, individuals with nutrient deficiencies, and individuals with medical conditions that cause excessive thirst. Additionally, we see the fluoride chemicals added to our water contain Lead, Arsenic and other contaminants harmful to human health. Some of these contaminants, especially lead and the fluoride itself, have been shown to cause disproportionate harm to African Americans according to the CDC and scientists who have served with the EPA whose data conclude African Americans absorption rates of these contaminants are higher than other members of the population. Fluoridation of the Memphis water supply must end because WE ALL deserve Safe Water from our public utility company!

I just created a petition on "We The People" to protect the Jones Act. John McCain is attempting to abolish this Act by slipping it into legislation for the Keystone Pipeline which has nothing to do with each other. This Act ensures that American merchant companies hire American merchants. These companies employ thousands of American citizens. Abolishment will allow these companies to hire foreign merchants for pennies on the dollar. It also requires that all goods shipped between ports of the United States be carried by vessels built in the United States and owned and operated by Americans. The tax money that comes from these merchants is well in the millions. That tax money will now be going to other countries. Not to mention the national security involved with merchants from all over the world going in and out of the busiest ports in the country. Please sign this petition and repost it as many times as possible. The repeal of this act will be detrimental to thousands of American seafarers, and it's affect will be felt throught the nation by everyone. I thank you in advance for your support. https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/stop-john-mccain-abolishing-jones-act-trying-slip-amendment-keystone-pipeline-legislation/XcXP9vNw http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merchant_Marine_Act_of_1920 http://gcaptain.com/senator-john-mccain-launches-new-attack-on-jones-act/

The residents of Broward County are facing a drastic change in waste management that will adversely affect the quality of life in our county. Waste Management Inc. is proposing to shut down and level the waste-to-energy facility where 4,500 tons of the county’s post-recycled everyday household waste were transformed into enough clean energy to power 100,000 local homes and offset 2.4 million barrels of oil per year. If the Commissioners approve this, waste will pile up, the stench across the community will again be noxious and property values will fall.

William is a 57 year old Disabled Veteran ON OXYGEN , ASSAULTED by Jacksonville Florida Police. March 15th 2014, Police arrived at Bills house on a "Well Person Check." Bill came out and told Police he was fine. Police wanted Bill to come with them. They had no warrant.... he said he was fine and refused to leave. THAT WAS HIS LEGAL RIGHT! Instead of leaving , Police held Bill hostage for 18 hours inside his home. They SHUT HIS POWER OFF , FLOODED HIS HOME WITH LIGHTS AND LOUD NOISES. 18 HOURS LATER THEY PUNCHED A HOLE IN BILL'S HOME AND THREW A PHONE IN.... THEN TEAR GAS! (Did I mention he was on OXYGEN?) Bill came out unable to breathe and dropped to all fours choking... Police ordered him to get up but he obviously could not. They surround him and shot him with rubber bullets. Bill falls sideways unable to move or breathe now.... and they follow up with tazing him . Bill spent 4 days in the HOSPITAL, and has been in jail over 300 days now, FOR DOING NOTHING! Bill's income has been cut. He has requested 3 times for indigent status.... 3 times the Judge has ignored it. His first trial was a DEADLOCK. His second trial was to start last Monday.... The Judge CANCELLED COURT AND RE SET THE DATE FOR MARCH! Many times they have offered to let Bill free if he would just plead guilty. BILL WILL NOT PLEAD GUILTY TO SOMETHING HE DID NOT DO! WHAT IS BILL BEING CHARGED WITH? ASSAULTING A POLICE OFFICER! WHERE AND WHEN DID THIS ASSAULT TAKE PLACE? AND, if they were there on a well person check,,,, why haven't they taken Bill to a psychiatrist? His doctor? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9F-9Q_fwTXo We have a petition going .... please take the time to sign. Thank you....

Our children' s education is being ruined by Common Core teaching methods and testing.

The City of Sturgeon Bay has received a petition to rezone and develop a large tract of land on the city waterfront. The zoning petition is flawed, the City has violated Wisconsin Open Meeting Laws, several of the members of the committees responsible for making the decision have serious conflicts of interest, and the City appears determined to grant the zoning request, despite overwhelming opposition from its citizens.

Water is a public good. Companies must be stopped from using water for private gain at the expense of the community and at the expense of our health. We must ensure that protections are put in place to ensure that water is protected and stop the privatization and profiting from water by corporations for harmful activities - in particular - coal mining and hydraulic fracturing. We only have a small window in which to avoid the worst consequences of global warming - let us stop supporting fossil fuel.

Charlotte County Florida Employees are intentionally torturing trapped hogs spearing and slashing them and leaving them to die. The evidence was captured on a County Surveillance camera. This is a clear violation of Florida Statute 828.12 which forbids “excessive or repeated infliction of unnecessary pain or suffering upon any animal.” Charlotte County refuses to fire those responsible and their superior who is to be held accountable for these brutal acts. PETA has investigated and issued an alert "Demand for Justice". http://www.peta.org/action/action-alerts/demand-justice-florida-pigs-tortured-traps/ Click this link and you will see some of the photos: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8747nfyevxp1a3w/AAA6J5i7hzAdeChQQYNhnis0a/6-13-14?dl=0 Fox News Story: http://www.jrn.com/fox4now/news/Woman-promises-to-interfere-with-inhumane-animal-traps-288614251.html We want Charlotte County to stop this activity and dismiss those employees ASAP. Charlotte County cannot leave these employees on the job. Leaving these people on the job will not resolve what happened and is not the message that our citizens deserve.

I am transgendered and I would love to serve our country in the national guard but I cannot because my gender identity is considered a mental disorder.

I am a 29 year old male and I live in the state of Tennessee, county of Davidson, city of Nashville. My roommate and I have recently started looking for a bigger apartment recently and even applied for an apartment that fit our financial needs and space. Later that day, we received noticed that we were denied due to "credit risk". I make over 3 times the base rent alone and with my roommate, we both make over 4 times the base rent. I may not have perfect credit (low 500s due to student loans), but I am still a person that is trying to make a living and have a decent home, just like everyone else. I have never been arrested, never been to jail, never been evicted, and I don't owe any properties any money. I know plenty of people that this has affected and they are also having a hard time finding a place to live. A person's credit should not be the only determining factor on if a person is eligible to rent a property. The management should look at other factors as well such as employment, previous history (as long as there are no evictions and payments are made, regardless if it is late), income, and criminal background. Make rental properties TRULY equal so that hard working Americans like myself can get the housing that they deserve.
