Tell Ft. Lauderdale Mayor: Don't jail people for feeding the homelessFor more than two decades, 90-year-old chef Arnold Abbott has led a group of church volunteers in serving trays of hot food to the hungry and homeless in public parks and beaches in Fort Lauderdale. But a few weeks ago, the city passed a cruel law that outlaws the distribution of food to homeless people in public. So this past Sunday, when he began serving food, the police showed up and yelled "drop that plate!" They immediately took Abbott into custody and charged him, along with two local pastors. "I don't think the city has a right to tell us we can't feed the homeless," said one of the pastors. "This is breaking my Christian vows." When asked what comes next, the pastor simply said: "Continuing to feed them." The men are facing hefty fines and up to 60 days in jail, but they're refusing to back down -- they were cited and charged again on Wednesday -- so we need to stand with them.536 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Michael Sherrard, Faithful America

DA Devon AndersonThe people of the city of Houston and surrounding suburban areas deserve to have their streets and neighborhoods safe. A convicted cop killer and robber should not be allowed to go free based on your decision alone. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals sent the case back to you for a retrial and not a dismissal. Do your city, local communities, and the victims families justice by having Alfred Brown stand trial again for the murder in which he has already been found guilty of previously. The people of the City of Houston deserve to be heard before setting a killer free based on an error in the case. Let a jury decide if Alfred Brown should go free.257 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Justin Mellen

STOP AT&T’s Fight To Put Cell Towers In Residential HollywoodI live in the condo across the street. My bedroom is less than 100 feet from the proposed tower site. As a home owner, I cannot get out of this tower's path. I already suffer from EMFs with daily headaches when I talk on a cell phone for longer than 5 minutes. If this tower is constructed, I might as well stick my head in a microwave! Please help!208 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Dahveed Kolodny-Nagy
