The release of the Senate Torture Report offers the United States a choice, do we really stand for Justice, or just for hypocrisy. Do we apply the law just to the small fry but not the Big Criminals,? Do we apply the law just to others but not to ourselves? The world will, and should, judge us by our choice. May our leaders choose well.

Indiana has the lowest turnout in the Country - 28% of registered voters voted in 2014. Only 44 of a hundred seats were even contested and out of those only about 7 or 8 were truly competitive. Elections are a farce. When there's nothing at stake people don't vote. Without competition we're left with appointed bureaucrats who answer to no one.

Ever since the announcement on executive action on immigration, the Democrats are supporting the President's decision, while the Republicans opposed it. The only way to call on Speaker Boehner to let the House pass the immigration reform bill is to sign the petition ASAP.

Recently, the State of Ohio joined nineteen other states in suing the federal government over the President’s executive action on immigration. In addition to subjecting thousands of Ohio families to deportation, this lawsuit, if successful, would deny work permits to thousands of Ohio immigrants and deprive our state of $41 million in much-needed tax revenue over the next five years. President Obama had to act on immigration after Republicans in Congress chose to do nothing. And despite the fact that President Obama's immigration action will benefit countless families in Ohio and generate millions of dollars in taxes, Gov. Kasich and Attorney General Mike DeWine are joining with their political partisans to block it. In the past, Gov. Kasich has been a commonsense voice for immigrant families in Ohio, but this lawsuit changes everything. We need Gov. Kasich to immediately end the lawsuit against President Obama and stop the attacks against immigrant workers and families living in Ohio. They are part of our state and they deserve a way to become documented residents, not shunned and set up for deportation.

When something shames us, we, and the media prefer to ignore it, but difficult problems need constant attention or they get lost. When there is one tragic death causing protests, we see it in the news everyday for weeks, yet we forget that 22 American veterans are dying a tragic death EVERYDAY and it has been going on for YEARS! Are thousands of veterans worth the same attention as one or a few tragic urban killings? This is a national crisis deserving constant national attention. Our veterans in despair need the help that could come if we would prevent their plight from getting lost among all the other much smaller tragedies.

The U.S. Dept. of Justice recently announced that it will perform a "pattern and practice" investigation of the Ferguson/St. Louis County Police Department. This effort came in response to claims by citizens of the shooting of unarmed black men, excessive force and racial discrimination/profiling. We deserve the same independent review in Little Rock.

The leadership of Columbia University must make a powerful statement indicting the injustice of police brutality and lack of accountability. Columbia faculty, please sign to demand that our leadership speak out.

To bring justice for people that have committed crimes against citizens using their police badges to protect them from legal punishment.

As a school community, Galway CSD has already made significant reductions to critical components of our annual school budget as rising costs outpaced revenue. Staff positions, class sections, and services have been reduced for students at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. We are working together as a district to make difficult decisions and reduce spending. Now we need your continued support to ensure the adopted state budget upholds the funding promises made to school districts across the state, by eliminating the GEA. This year alone (in the 2014-15 state aid calculations), Galway lost $920,128 in funding that was promised to our district, but taken back to balance the state budget. Every year since 2010, Galway has lost approximately one million dollars to the GEA, and this disturbing trend must be addressed. We ask you to take immediate action to prevent long-term negative effects on the quality of public education for Galway children. Abolish the Gap Elimination Adjustment in this year’s state budget.

This petition is to change the ordinance title 8 "animals". before is becomes official.
