With President Obama delaying action on immigration until after the November mid-term election, it's up to us to help Pedro. Pedro is a law-abiding family man and the primary caretaker of his eldest son who has severe cerebral palsy. Pedro has four US citizen children and his wife is a US citizen, too. He's exactly the kind of immigrant America should be embracing, not expelling! Pedro meets multiple criteria that qualify him for relief from deportation, yet the ICE Detroit Field Office has inexplicably denied his request. President Obama is treating Pedro and his family like political collateral damage. Pedro is exactly the kind of person that would have received relief from deportation if President Obama kept his word and announced executive action this summer. But now he could be deported at any moment. President Obama promised to act in the face of Congress' inaction, and Pedro and his family are depending on him to keep them together.

Now is the time for Senator Ted Cruz to represent his constituents and not mega-rich out of state donors. If he is serious about combating corruption, he should co-sponsor and help win support for a constitutional amendment in this session. A strong vote in the U.S. Senate will help grow and build the movement to overturn the disastrous Citizens United and McCutcheon rulings, take democracy off the auction block, and preserve constitutional rights for people — not corporations.

I am a medieval historian (PhD in Medieval Studies). I have studied at length the blood libel leveled against Jews during the Middle Ages. The blood libel alleged--with absolutely no basis in fact--that Jews were responsible for (among other things) murdering Christian children and using their blood for ritual purposes such as unleavened bread, and that Jews were solely to blame for the execution of Jesus of Nazareth. The claims of the blood libel have been used from the Middle Ages and on into today's world to perpetuate the notion that it is acceptable to perpetrate horrific acts of discrimination, violence, and slaughter upon Jews and Jewish communities. Any Facebook page that describes these false practices of ritual murder is implicitly encouraging similar activities even if it never says so outright. Many of my colleagues and I have already contacted Facebook, reporting the page as encouraging discrimination and violence against Jews through the promulgation of a myth that has been repeatedly proven utterly false. Though the page was taken down, 24 hours later it was restored and messages were sent to us saying that the site is NOT seen as discriminatory or encouraging hate speech . If Facebook is to be the social force that it pretends to be in its mission statement, it must live up to its own codes of what constitutes "hate speech". We, the undersigned, demand therefore that the website "Jewish Ritual Murder (https://www.facebook.com/truthaboutjews)" be permanently removed and that Facebook reassess its policies concerning what constitutes "hate speech".

We are writing to urge you to implement strong and unambiguous net neutrality rules that protect the Internet from discrimination and other practices that will impede its ability to serve our democracy, empower consumers, and fuel economic growth. Erecting toll booths or designating fast lanes on the information superhighway would stifle free speech, limit consumer choice, and thwart innovation. The FCC must act in a clear and decisive way to ensure the Internet does not become the bastion of powerful incumbents and carriers, but rather remains a place where all speakers, creators, and innovators can harness its power now and in the future. The Internet is a staple of our lives and our economy. The FCC should protect access to the Internet under a Title II framework, with appropriate forbearance, thereby ensuring greater regulatory and market certainty for users and broadband providers. To ensure that the Internet fulfills its promise of being a powerful, open platform for social, political, and economic life, the FCC must adopt a rule against blocking, a bright-line rule against application-specific discrimination, and a rule banning access fees. These principles of fairness and openness should not only apply to the so-called last-mile network, but also at points of interconnection to the broadband access provider’s network. Likewise, strong net neutrality rules must apply regardless of whether users access the Internet on fixed or mobile connections. The FCC’s proposed rules would be a significant departure from how the Internet currently works, limiting the economic and expressive opportunity it provides. Investors, entrepreneurs, and employees have invested in businesses based on the certainty of a level playing field and equal-opportunity marketplace. The proposal would threaten those investments and undermine the necessary certainty that businesses and investors need going forward. The current proposed rules, albeit well-meaning, would be far-reaching. Erecting new barriers to entry would result in fewer innovative startups, fewer micro-entrepreneurs, and fewer diverse voices in the public quare. The FCC should abandon its current proposal and adopt a simple rule that reflects the essential values of our free markets, our participatory democracy, and our communications laws. When the history of the Internet is written, 2014 will be remembered as a defining moment. This FCC will be remembered either for handing the Internet over to the highest bidders or for ensuring that the conditions of Internet openness remain for the next generation of American entrepreneurs and citizens. We urge you to take bold and unequivocal action that will protect the open Internet and the opportunity it affords for innovation, economic development, communication, and democracy itself.

Black Hills Power increased rates in 2008, 2012 and last year in September 2013. Now they are requesting to increase another 650 kWh per day this year. If approved, this increase will take place this October. It is unfair to the customer to increase rates for their personal expansion.

Hand that feeds In response to the effects of presidential memorandum, "Let's Move" we the signers of this petition recognize the flaws of it and, in discontent, have begun a petition for the people to have signed. We also plead that the required calorie count on private vender's products within the public school system be banished.We demand that the public school system permit caffeinated and non-diet beverage products to be distributed in vending machines of private cooperations with in school property. We ask that the school system allow food of any calorie count to be distributed to be sold but a healthier alternative of the food must be available. For the focus of the students, it is fundamental that coffee be required to be vended at school by staff of school and/or school program. We demand that the lunch room be regulated by either school administration, district, or state not by national government. We recognize waste and see fit to make sure school cafeterias are no longer required to hand out food unwanted by student. We demand all food before the enactment of presidential memorandum "let's move" should be redistributed again. Ultimately our goal is the nullification presidential memorandum "let's move". In addition, we would like to state that all members of lunch staff did not take part and should retain their jobs. Brian Stewart and accomplices

Right now, a corporation can dodge billions in taxes just because it buys a company in another country, then claims to be headquartered there. It's known as an "inversion" and it's just another way big companies can avoid paying their fair share. Today it's Burger King, but there are a lot more companies lining up behind them. Last month, public pressure stopped Walgreens from moving abroad. Over the last few weeks, we have put Burger King on notice about their move to Canada. Now it's time we close this loophole all together. It's time to plug this loophole, and stop companies from leaving and forcing the rest of us to pick up the tab. We can't let big corporations continue to dodge taxes with high paid tax lawyers -- everyone should play by the same rules. How can we invest in education or job growth if large, profitable companies are scheming to avoid paying their fair share? We have a real opportunity to close this loophole right now -- but we've got to strike while the iron is hot. With all the scrutiny being paid to this issue while Burger King is in the process of declaring itself a Canadian company, we can push lawmakers to take up the issue. So far, Rep. Bill Johnson hasn't signed on in support of this common-sense idea -- that's why we need people like you take action.
