Congress is about to REINSTATE loopholes that let huge corporations like GE, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup dodge taxes -- and to stop it, we need Sen. John McCain's support. Tax loopholes allow corporations to dodge taxes by hiding profits overseas -- some companies pay $0 in taxes. Congress is about to decide their fate: Renew $9 billion in offshore corporate tax loopholes, or leave them on the scrap heap of bad ideas. Earlier this year, a large slate of corporate subsidies expired. Hidden among the tax credits are some of the worst loopholes that reward multinational corporations for moving profits and jobs overseas. Now, Congress wants to renew many of these programs, even the ones that reward huge companies for hiding profits overseas. It makes no sense -- this is our chance to let these loopholes end for good. The President has already spoken out against renewing these loopholes, but Sen. McCain hasn't. That's why your signature is so important. It’s about time that these corporations start living by the same rules as the rest of us. It’s time to close these loopholes and invest in an economy that works for everyone.

This petition has the sole purpose of making law enforcement officials more accountable. The use of deadly force is drastically being overused. Military personnel have a very strict code for "rules of engagement." The current policies that are in place need to be redone to effect drastic change and accountability. Police officers on the state and local as of late and in history past have been killing unarmed citizens without much if any provocation. Then they are getting a slap on the wrist and allowed to murder again. We need to begin with stricter rules within Internal Affairs to police the police officers, possibly creating community advocates in every city/town who are present and allowed to ask questions at hearings.

House Bill 5974 would rig Michigan elections at the expense of the people. The bill not only presents a grave danger to our democratic process, but threatens to make Michigan irrelevant in presidential elections, reducing our state’s influence on the national political stage and undermining our ability to attract attention to our state’s unique issues like the auto industry and the Great Lakes.

In March of 2010, an at the time twenty eight year old man was stopped by Pennsylvania State Police for Bradford County, PA., after it was alleged by them that he 'fit the description' of a hit-and-run driver. Over the course of a three day period Robert Leone endured some of the worst police brutality not seen since Rodney King was beaten, nearly to death, by police in Los Angeles, CA. in the 1990's. Robert Leone was repeatedly punched, kicked, thrown, tossed, tasered, chemically maced and gassed by state police for Bradford County, PA. in the Township of Towanda, PA. while in their custody for crimes that he did not commit! Wrongfully imprisoned for two years, he has since continued to pay a debt to society that he does not owe in the form of pain and suffering because of the torture he suffered so violently through. To that end we are calling upon Federal, State & Local Officialdom to call for a Special Grand Jury Investigation into this matter so that the perpetrators of such heinous acts may be brought to justice via a Judge and Jury of their peers. Thank you for your support and interests in seeing that Justice is SERVED on behalf of Robert Leone and his family.... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Good morning Friends!

I am trying to get as many people to be aware as possible of my situation so I am emailing you among others. I a military veteran was being sent to Hawaii but avoided those orders because I had been told about the racism and bullying of what is called "mainlanders" over there. The father of my son Cedrick D Richardson (resident of Jackson,MS) was stationed over there and got enrolled at the college there for his degree in graphic arts and designs. He got out of the military and stayed in order to finish his degree. Cedrick a multiple Iraq combat medic veteran had just got his company started called Bad Dwarf Comics LLC of 1613 Cowslip Lane File Number 92338 C5 Cedrick had been working and going to school full time as well as volunteered his other time to join the emergency response team of engineers to help keep am station generators running during the hurricane that was approaching Hawaii this year. Cedrick has no priors and was fulfilling his dream until one fateful night he was in the bar in a known area that is warned against being in and was targeted along with a friend of his. He was assaulted while being called n***ers and mainlanders and told to get off of the island. In the midst of their assault Cedrick went to his truck and got his weapon and fired at the group not intentionally to hit anyone but to get them off of him as well as his friend. Unfortunately one person was hit, thankfully he survived. Cedrick was targeted because of his race and this was not even taken into account when he was arrested on the scene. He did not to run but waited as he was sure the police would understand his actions. He was still booked even with a broken nose, swollen face and cuts above his eye. He is now being charged with attempted murder in the 2nd degree. There was no mention of the assault on him but was just covered us as "altercation" without giving the correct facts. Cedrick would most certainly not purposely try to ruin everything he has worked for but what we are sure of is that he was targeted because of his race and the fact he is not a local and this has been an ongoing problem for many people that Hawaii choose to ignore. No persons were even questioned about his broken nose and bruises. I am writing you because there needs to be some type of awareness of the problems that is faced from people not from there for instance there was another military family attacked by locals and police looking the other way such as the 68 year old ma who was attacked by locals and when police were called the officers persuaded them (Padrons) not to press charges, saying it would be expensive for them to return for court appearances and a Hawaiian judge would side with the Hawaiian assailants, the doctor contends.This is a totally unjust and unfair system that needs to acknowledge these situations. They are charging Cedrick with 2nd degree attempted murder and a 200,000 bail (3X that of locals charged with same crime) and facing 50 years. Cedrick has always been a productive member of society only trying to accomplish his dreams. Please don't allow him to be railroaded.

This show is great and has had amazing impact on myself and all of my classmates. I am also supporting local actors and the fact that this show creates jobs! Its family friendly and we need to put family back into television!

OUR CHILDREN'S SAFETY IS AT RISK! IT IS CRITICAL FOR NEIGHBORHOODS BELOW TO SIGN THIS PETITION! (Chatham, Darien Park, Hawkins Cove, Grand Veridian, New Haven Walk, Whitehall, Windsor, and Windsor Forest/Bent Grass) Fulton County Schools has started the process of evaluating redistricting options for North Fulton County. In November, they released 3 potential maps and only one of these options is acceptable to most residents in the Houze Way / Houze Rd corridor. Plan B places our children at either Hembree Springs or Sweet Apple Elementary (depending on neighborhood), both excellent and the closest schools safely nestled AWAY FROM the dangerous, high traffic boundaries of Crossville Rd, Alpharetta Highway, and Mansell Rd. Plan A would place our children at Roswell North Elementary and Plan C would place them at Mimosa Elementary. We believe that Plan B provides our children the best education at their closest and safest school, providing the least issues in terms of instructional capacity. We urge our neighbors to sign the petition to ensure that our voices are heard when the final draft proposal for redistricting is made public on December 10.

San Onofre is not a safe place to store dangerous spent fuel as it is situated in a recognized tsunami, earthquake, and firestorm zone and is vulnerable to climate change and terrorist attack in a densely populated area. Laguna Beach is within the 20 mile “Dead Zone”. We may escape with our lives, but we will never be able to return to our property.

West Virginia Senator Jay Rockefeller is retiring. He has a unique opportunity to prevent torture and advance CIA accountability before he leaves office. News reports have indicated that the Senate Intelligence Committee’s CIA torture report details not only brutal abuse the CIA perpetrated on detainees, but also illegal deception CIA officials conducted on Congress and other executive branch officials about the program in order to evade democratic and legal accountability. But the CIA has been blocking the report from becoming public. According to the Constitution’s Speech or Debate Clause, members of Congress have an absolute free-speech right on the floor or in committee—even if what they say includes classified information. So Senator Rockefeller can read the Senate’s CIA torture report into the Congressional Record, making it public information. Urge Senator Rockefeller to use this unique opportunity to defend the public interest and let the American people know about the CIA’s use of torture by signing our petition.

The highest priority is that the safety and security of all of humanity must be protected and preserved. This responsibility for the USA to become a leader and a participant in this global mission is underscored by the inescapable fact that had the USA, under the command of George W. Bush, never conquered Iraq and tracked down Saddam Hussein and killed him, Saddam Hussein would have had the ability – along with armed Kurdish fighters, called Peshmerga (who ironically helped the USA in its mission to capture Saddam) – to control Baghdadi and the IS. This is now the only way to stop the IS. We must stand firmly on the right side of history for, if we do not, there may not be much left of our previous history, nor of our present humankind and all of its achievements and wonders.

My wife and I consider Keyla to be our daughter. She is 15 and suffers from life threatening seizures. We have a lawsuit to be reunited with her. This is a humanitarian request to let my wife help Keyla.

Because it is almost impossible to screen for Biases', Prejudices, and Mental illness in any workplace, and many interactions between Citizens and Law Enforcement officers often become a deciding factor, as to the quality of life the citizen experiences after those interactions, We feel it necessary to document ALL of these interactions to ensure proper conduct of BOTH parties. Police reports, and Eye Witness accounts often neglect valuable information, that could be needed to ultimately decide a persons fate. It is often said, that a Person's trial, actually begins when they are approached by an officer. It is expected that Law enforcement officers should act in all fairness, and subdued Passion, however there are often circumstances that might try, an officers restraint. We believe that this move will ultimately foster an environment of civility, and ultimately a renewed respect, of both officer and civilian. Many law enforcement officers are already in favor of this. -----> http://cnnmon.ie/1vXBC4O
