The foreskin is not a birth defect. Circumcision is a permanent amputation of normal, healthy, sensitive tissue that serves important physiological functions and without which normal sexual performance and sensation can be impaired. During the 19th century, circumcision was promoted as an effective remedy for a host of ailments including but not limited to rheumatism, epilepsy, asthma, skin cancer, insanity, and venereal disease. But it was as a remedy for "masturbatory insanity" which was believed to result from masturbation or "self-abuse" that circumcision was most widely promoted by its supporters during the 19th century. These are the historical and pseudo-scientific roots of routine infant male circumcision as it is practiced in the U.S. today. Yet this petition is not about banning circumcision. It is about banning forced circumcision. It is about ending the practice of denying men the right to choose for themselves whether to be circumcised. There is no right more basic nor more important than the right to control one's own body. Forced infant circumcision violates that right. It is a human-rights violation because it deprives infants, boys and men of the right to determine what is done to their bodies. The campaign to end involuntary circumcision, like its sister campaign to eradicate female genital mutilation, is based on the simple idea that each individual, regardless of sex, has an innate right to control his or her own body. Thus, the effort to ban routine infant male circumcision is part of a greater human-rights struggle in the broadest sense. It is a crucial part of the effort to create a world in which all people's rights - infants, girls, boys, women, men, and intersex individuals - are respected.

The Teaneck Holocaust Memorial Committee has been working for 2 years to get a Holocaust Memorial created in Teaneck. We believe that it is important to create a Holocaust Memorial in the Township of Teaneck to memorialize those who perished in the Holocaust and establish a place for the community to use for reflection and education about the tragedy of genocide and the lessons of tolerance. We believe that time is of the essence as each year the amount of Holocaust survivors is dwindling and soon there will be none left to bear witness to the horrors of the Holocaust. After doing extensive searches in the town, we furthermore believe that Brett Park (River Road at the intersection of Winthrop Road) is the best choice to establish the Holocaust Memorial due to its accessibility to the community, available parking and visibility from River Road. Since the land in question is vacant, nothing will be displaced and this memorial will bring meaning and sanctity to the park and to the Township.

We are a committee that has been working for 2 years to get this project realized. After doing extensive searches in the town, we believe that this is the best choice to establish the Holocaust Memorial. We believe that time is of the essence as each year the amount of holocaust survivors is dwindling and soon there will be none left to bear witness to the horrors of the holocaust. We need the members of the Town Council to take action and make this important project a reality.

Infant male circumcision has deprived millions of boys and men of their right of bodily integrity. It is a permanent amputation of normal, healthy tissue that serves important physiological functions and without which normal sexual function and sensation are impaired.

Starting in Fall of 2015, no open blocks will be allowed to the juniors or even the seniors. I feel as if this would be a very beneficial time allowed to the students. Our education is our future and students need this time to study and prepare.

In order to compete on a national and international scale, our transportation system needs rebuilding and improving. For ourselves and our children, we must take responsibility for our national debt and begin to reduce it. With the dramatic drop in gasoline and accompanying savings to the public, we now have the bipartisan opportunity to share this windfall and help our country.

Climate change is impacting Montana, threatening our environment, economy, and the health of our communities. From longer fire seasons, to forests killed by pine beetles, to trout streams suffering from reduced flow caused by melting snow packs, the effects of climate change are already being felt by thousands of Montanans. Yet some of our elected leaders refuse to even acknowledge there is a problem. U.S. Senator Steve Daines is the highest-profile climate change denier in Montana politics, and it’s due to politicians like him that we haven’t seen more progress in the fight against climate change. Scientists warn that at least 80% of existing fossil fuel reserves must stay in the ground if we are to avoid the worst consequences of a warming global climate. But Steve Daines is actively pushing to expand coal and oil extraction, and to build new pieces of fossil fuel infrastructure like coal export terminals and the Keystone XL tar sands oil pipeline. Steve Daines publicly denies that human-caused climate change exists, and has refused to engage in a dialogue with constituents about how to address the issue. It’s time to hold Steve Daines accountable for his backward position on the scientific reality of climate change. Fortunately, ordinary Montanans are coming together to support climate solutions such as increased generation of solar and wind energy. This March, grassroots organizations will hold a nonviolent demonstration at Daines’ office to call out his climate change denial. Sign this petition urging Daines to take the threat of climate change seriously, and your signature will be delivered with hundreds of others on the day of the action.

I file complaints daily as these illegal calls ring my phone. I've been on the Do Not Call list for many years yet it's being ignored. Telemarketers argue with me over not seeing my name. Some simply hang up and call again in an hour. If politicians expect anyone to take them seriously, they should back up the laws they pass.

Education is critical to the long-term success of Texas, but for too long political motivations have held back students and teachers. In 2011, the state education system saw billions of dollars cut from programs, costing schools and teachers in a big way. What’s more, the Texas school finance system was recently ruled unconstitutional, and is caught in a legal battle that could drag this fight out beyond the legislative session. That’s why we’re calling on the Texas State Legislature to stop the political games and get serious right now. Add your name and call on them to restore funding to our schools and fix the system. We need your voice!

Dear Friends, The newly formed Ann Arbor Green Burial Network (A2GBN) needs your support. The Network strives to educate our selves and others about natural burial with the goal of increasing natural burial options in our local area. We are collecting signatures of those who support this goal. (Please note that we encourage you to sign this petition no matter where you live--this is a movement that has no boundaries and if natural options are offered in one place, the more likely other places will do the same.) A2GBN grew out of two recent events -­‐ the Michigan Green Burial Conference in October 2014, and an interfaith clergy presentation on natural death care options in June 2014. The group is made up of members of the clergy and the general public (listed below). These are the basics of why we endeavor to expand local natural burial options: • Burial without embalming and without a vault was the tradition throughout history until only very recently, and is still the tradition in many cultures and religions. • Currently in the U.S., coffins are required to be encased in concrete vaults by most cemeteries nationwide. • Vaults use several tons of concrete, and concrete manufacture is a global leader in contribution to climate change (adding more CO2 to the atmosphere than the airline industry). • Vaults are not required by any laws or health codes, they are only a matter of cemetery policy. • Cemeteries that require vaults do so because they simplify maintenance duties. • Cemeteries that do not require vaults usually charge extra to cover the additional maintenance costs, thus, offering this option need not be a hardship to cemeteries. • Cremation is on the rise, partly because people are not comfortable with the environmental impacts of conventional burials. • Like concrete vaults, cremation also uses significant amounts of fossil fuels. • The perpetual care of a cemetery plot that requires mowing, fertilizing, and pesticides adds up over time to a very significant environmental footprint. • Cemetery plots that are landscaped naturally can provide crucial habitat for wildlife. • Ann Arbor prides itself in being a leader in environmental sustainability, but we have no cemeteries that allow any form of natural burial. • People like to be buried near their homes and families. The closest cemetery that offers natural burial is in Milan. • Those who desire to reduce their environmental footprint in both life and in death would like more options in their local area, whether it be a burial without a vault, a burial plot that is landscaped naturally, or both. To reach our goal of expanding natural burial options in our area, we plan to: 1. Educate the public about green burial, its benefits and where it is available currently. 2. Approach local cemeteries about offering natural burials (plots without a vault and/or plots that are naturally landscaped). 3. Assist local congregations that have land to begin offering green burial or other natural memorial options. 4. Approach city, village, township and county governments about the possibility of utilizing conserved land for natural burial. 5. Investigate opportunities for green burial in rural, abandoned or unclaimed cemeteries. Our first task is to collect names of individuals and organizations that support our goals. A long list of supporters will demonstrate to cemeteries, congregations and local government entities that there is a growing number of people who desire these options. By signing this petition, you will add your voice to the myriad of local residents who have told us that they want green burial options for themselves and their loved ones. If you would like to join the Network or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact one of us. Sincerely, Merilynne Rush and Rev.

Two banks with troubled histories of foreclosures and squandered public bailouts are now asking the Federal Reserve to merge, making them “too big to fail.” OneWest Bank moved to foreclose on Myrtle Lewis, a 103-year-old Texas widow, because she forgot to pay her house insurance. Public pressure stopped this foreclosure, but OneWest has one of the worst records in the industry when it comes to mortgage modifications. CIT Group bank received $2.3 billion in taxpayer funds in 2008 during the bank bailout, so they could help small businesses with loans. Instead, CIT Group filed for bankruptcy in 2009 while serving very few small businesses. Now, these two banks are seeking permission from the Federal Reserve to merge into a $70 billion “too big to fail” mega-bank. And they are even pressuring the Fed to not hold a hearing. Sign the petition to Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen: “Say No to the merger of OneWest and CIT Group.”
