After uniformed police in Rhialto, CA wore body cameras, instances of complaints against the department dropped dramatically along with accounts of use of force. With all the recent and tragic uses of force against civilians by police, it would serve us as a nation to equip our uniformed law enforcement officials with the means to record interactions with the public. This both dissuades civilians from provoking police, and protects civilians from undue use of force. Please sign this petition to promote integrity in law enforcement and help prevent tragedies in the future.

We urge you to stand tall with and support the peaceful protestors who are within their fundamental rights to ask for a free and fair election. Please show your support for a peaceful and democratic Pakistan. A truly Democratic Pakistan will not only be an asset to our long term interests in the region but also serve as beacon of hope and peace for the entire world.

Justice needs to be done for these poor dogs. Not only were they abused because of dog fighting, but these animals were also tortured. 65 abused, suffering dogs living with heavy chains around their necks were found on the property. “Some of them were so malnourished, with skin stretched so tightly over their bones, that they had open sores just from sitting on the ground.” One of the female pit bulls rescued during the operation, named Honor by the ARC volunteers, even had all of her teeth removed, most likely so she could not fight back during forced breeding in a "rape cage". ARC volunteers named her Honor for her quiet, broken spirit and yet her readiness to trust and love immediately. How could Judge George Sexton let these monsters (Avery Bell, James Callis) go without being punished for committing countless heinous acts of cruelty? What kind of message does he think he is sending to the public? Or does he not care?

Obesity in America! We need time to practice a healthy lifestyle, like getting exercise and cooking real food instead of eating highly processed foods because it is faster. We need time to raise responsible, healthy children. We need time to actively participate in our communities. We need time to pursue our own personal goals.

Our elected officials have been busy making laws that benefit big corporations and hurt the people of Oregon, our ecosystems, and our water quality and availability. Tell the Sierra Club not to co-sign this green wash by candidates running for re-election. Tell them not to endorse people who choose money over fairness and nature ...even when those people are Democrats.

In the next few weeks, the Oregon League of Conservation Voters will be endorsing political candidates running in elections in November. Oregon's elected officials have made drastic attacks on our public forests that will benefit a handful of wealthy corporate timber families while costing the rest of us clean air, fresh water, and the beauty of the Oregon outdoor lifestyle. The OLCV needs encouragement to refrain from co-signing the green wash we are being sold by these politicians.

I'm sick of the corrupt system and want to do something about it instead of talking about it

The American People do not feel safe in our own streets. This has become intolerable. Additionally, we don't feel safe with the current NSA tactics employed to spy on our own nation. The time has come to step up as leaders of the free world and choose Peace first. #NOMOREWAR #NOMOREVIOLENCE #WCF #LOOKDF

When officers are required to wear video cameras this will protect the officers as well as the citizens. With the recent shooting death of an unarmed teenager in ferguson Missouri, Michael Brown this could help justify why the police officer had to shoot to kill.

Concerned Citizens Against the Pipeline represents community groups up and down the proposed path of the PennEast pipeline who oppose its construction. Pipelines pose significant safety hazards, destroy woodlands, and contaminate waterways. For property owners, the most immediate impact of pipelines is vulnerability to eminent domain. Local governments can't step in to help. They are exempt from the siting process under federal rules. The PennEast pipeline is a bad deal for everyone on its path.

I have been blind-sided twice this year with premium increases from my Blue Shield of California Medi Gap plan. Never before has this happened to me in my many years of being insured. When selecting a Medi Gap, or any insurance plan, your premium price plays a pivotal role. Also, when you are presented with a 2014 premium, you have a reasonable expectation that it means all of 2014 (12 months, to be exact). Blue Shield's bait and switch and discriminatory practices should be illegal and should not be allowed. My first increase was in March, and I was told that it was due to me turning an odd-number age in February. My second increase came in August, for which I was told was an across-the-board increase for their Medi Gap plan, affecting mostly seniors. In my complaint to Blue Shield, I referenced a document on the Blue Shield web site that states that premium increases based on age go into effect the January of the year following the odd-year birthday. I was told that this document was for their regular plans and not their Medi Gap, their senior plan. Blue Shield justified this practice by saying that Medicare had approved and signed off on this age-discriminatory practice. It cannot be okay for Blue Shield to raise premiums for seniors at will, nor is it okay for Medicare to approve such a plan. For Blue Shield to advertise their premium as 2014 premium is false advertisement and fraudulent. It is not a 2014 premium plan; it's a month-to-month plan that is subject to change at any time, and should be advertised as such. Corporations don't accept this deception from Blue Shield in regard to their employees and neither should Medicare. Bait and switch practices are illegal, false advertisement is illegal, fraud is illegal and age discrimination is illegal. Therefore, these practices by Blue Shield are illegal and unacceptable. If you are a senior, care about a senior, or hope to be a senior someday, you need to sign this petition and put an end to Blue Shield's unscrupulous practices! If we don't stop Blue Shield, your insurance company could be next. This petition is not about high premiums, it is about unfair and, in most cases, illegal practices.
