Many Africans are recruited as domestic workers in Arab and Middle Eastern countries in search of a better life for them and their families. Many of them are brutally beaten and killed every year. The power of social media can help highlight this cruelty. We will try and action African and World leaders to take action. Worst offenders are Saudi Arabia and Israel.

Bring the value of family back to prisoners in hopes they will not reoffend once released.

I have been researching lyrics in local rappers music and much more. Gangsta Lyrics have really periodic outbreaks of indignation. The ostentatious displays of “bling” big diamonds, big cars, and big houses. Then they present young women who are portrayed as rappers’ sexual playthings, draping themselves around star performers and shaking their buttocks through hundreds of near-pornographic videos. Not to mention the incessant use of the N-word. Now it's time to stop that and better our generation's future before its too late!

Im starting this petition because i know that ángel Murillo is a good person and i think that he decerves his freedom for his family and that i think they should stop the deportation because i wouldnt want that to happen to my dad.

We ask that you move quickly to eliminate the continued yearly tuition increases and use the language of the law in an already deregulated state to speed up the process and avoid potential problems of a weakly written bill.

Santa Feans are ready to make the transition to a clean energy economy. While our investor-owned utility is proposing deeper investments in coal and nuclear, this Ordinance will allow Santa Fe to pursue leading edge innovations in energy efficiency, renewable energy and related economic development. Public power will create energy choice and the opportunity to reinvest electricity dollars back into the local economy. Public power will improve the quality of life and economy in Santa Fe as well as advance national efforts to address climate change, reduce pollution from coal burning and promote sustainable economic growth. Santa Fe will serve as an example for other communities throughout New Mexico as well as the nation as we reclaim control over our energy future thereby enabling us to aggressively pursue the benefits of a new energy economy.

This logic runs against the fact that ISIS started & grew in areas controlled by these "moderate rebels" and drew on fighters & local commanders defecting to its ranks with their weapons, some of which supplied by the West and our "allies" Saudi Arabia, Turkey & Qatar. This trend continues today with hundreds, possibly thousands, of "moderate rebels" joining the Al-Nusra front (another Al-Qaeda group) in NW Syria just in the past few days. The US needs to change its course of action regarding Syria and must choose a way of diplomacy and dialogue with new and willing partners instead of intervention and war. Trying to destabilize the existing government only serves to attract foreign militant extremist groups, such as ISIS, which in turn destabilize the region and create an environment of hostility and backlash against civilians and American citizens. Assad may be a dictator, but he had successfully outlawed all terrorist groups in Syria and protected minorities, including Christians, whose very existence is now threatened by ISIS and their affiliates. Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Qatar (our allies) are a basic part of the problem, with wealthy individuals & groups in those countries funding ISIS. Stopping all forms of financial aid and military support to the rebels and ISIS from the US, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Jordan, and Qatar would be the logical thing to do.  Please take action to help stop this. We need to become part of the solution and not part of the problem.

There are no warning lights at the entrance of this subdivision. There are many children who live in this neighborhood. In order to enter, you must cross a busy railroad track that has several freight trains crossing several times a day at a very high speed. My cousin Tyler was hit and killed by one of these trains on May 22, 2014. If there was anything that could signal the train, Tyler might be with us today. Thank you for all of your support!

The rent is too damn high in US major cities.

Minsterul de externe al Romaniei a fraudat votul romanilor din diaspora pentru Presedintele Romaniei neorganizind nici- un birou de vot in zeci de orase americane in care traiesc zeci de mii de cetateni romani. Cerem infiintarea de birouri de vot pentru turul doi de scrutin in toate marile orase, in parohiile bisericilor romanesti, daca ministerul nu gaseste alte locatii

The undersigned Petitioners request the Atherton Town Council: To halt any further development plans or any construction of bleachers at Holbrook Palmer Park for the Menlo Park Atherton Little League (MPALL), until a full environmental impact has been completed and reviewed. The Petition is based on the following facts: 1. The Atherton Council implemented Measure M beyond the plain language in the Measure. A large majority of those voting for Measure M expected the Town’s Planning Commission to carefully weigh the need, the costs to the community and any injury to other uses and users in the Park. The Town Council ignored the Planning Commission’s recommendation that the MPALL proposed plans for the site be downsized. The Council put the Project in the City Manager’s hands and has failed to allow review of the current status of the plans and Agreement as to its use. There has been no transparency to the Town’s actions. 2. The Town’s residents have been deceived. The negotiation and planning for the bleachers have lacked transparency all along and have involved only Little League principals and the pro-bleacher City Manager. When one of the Councilpersons recognized that there was merit in the plans meeting an ”historical character standard”, such a Proviso was included in the action approved. The council then did not allow any residents to be a part of the evaluating group. The two Councilpersons appointed have a conflict of interest as they have been in favor of the Bleachers from the beginning. Interested residents have been told that since those two have not reported back to the Council, the Proviso must have been met. There has been no opportunity for any independent evaluation of the “historical character standard”. 3. Ten months ago plans and draft drawings of the bleachers could be viewed on the Town’s Website. Recently, as information surfaced that the drawings and plans were being modified, one of the Council members initially in favor of the Project stated that going to the Town’s Website to review the plans satisfied any need for transparency. However, there are no drawings and even the original ones have been removed from the website. The initial three-dimensional drawings have been removed. The Little League is insisting on a solid concrete structure; if built, this will handicap its easy removal, when it is realized the project is a detriment to the Park. Burgess Park in Menlo Park has a smaller and removable set of bleachers. Little or no thought has been given to the likelihood that the new facilities, considerably larger than those in Burgess Park in Menlo Park, will crowd out most other uses of Holbrook Palmer Park on weekends and add to traffic and noise in that sector of the Town. Additionally, a significant minority of the players actually live in Atherton. The undersigned restate the initial request that the bleacher/stadium project be reviewed under CEQA guidelines.
