The Arctic is an amazing place, home to whales, polar bears, and other amazing creatures. We need to act now to protect it for future generations.

I feel strongly that mankind has used & destroyed enough of the world!! Everything humans touch gets destroyed & this has ruined the planet for the future!! Oil Spills all around the world are proof that we will continue to use what isn't ours because we've been doing this since we arrived!!! We are not the only creatures on earth & we need to be stopped!!!

Rep. Scott Rigell voted for a federal budget that would, according to the Economic Policy Institute, slow the economy and cost 1.1 million jobs next year -- and 3 million jobs in 2016. Paul Ryan's congressional budget would cut $137 billion from SNAP (food stamps), $125 billion from Pell Grants, and $16 billion to block grants for Meals on Wheels, homeless shelters, and child care for working-poor families. It would cut some $300 billion from education funding. We need to send Congressman Rigell a strong message so that he knows we don't support these budget priorities. We have a chance to make an impact over the next few weeks as Rep. Rigell is on recess and making public appearances. We want him to work for a budget that creates jobs and gives everyone a fair shot in life. If enough of us sign, Rep. Rigell will know exactly where his district stands.

The Arctic is a special place: inhabited by creatures like polar bears and whales, full of magnificent vistas, and home to people who maintain the traditions of their ancestors. For millennia, it has remained untouched by oil-drilling or industrial fishing. But as the ice melts from climate change, that special status is at risk. Multinational corporations are chomping at the bit to be the first to exploit this amazing area. That's why I'm asking you to do something a little different for the Arctic. We’re calling for the northernmost, uninhabited areas of the Arctic to be permanently protected as a global sanctuary.

The Artic is a pure place. Its beauty is completely natural and its land holds many inhabitants. We must protect it for them and for our future generations to enjoy.

Bob McCulloch must fully recuse himself and his office from the investigation related to the murder of Michael Brown. 
 McCulloch's decision not to charge officers who murdered two unarmed African-American men in 2000 by shooting into their car 20 times, especially in the face of the U.S. Attorney's independent investigation finding that those officers lied about their actions, gives us no confidence that his office can provide a fair and impartial investigation into this current matter. 
 That failure, coupled with McCulloch's recent participation in one of the most racially polarizing elections in the history of St. Louis County, means that his office's continued oversight of this tragedy will only sow further distrust and discord in our community. 
 For the good of the entire St. Louis region and the nation as a whole, we call on Robert P. McCulloch to recuse himself and his office from this matter and to appoint a special prosector to investigate the murder of Michael Brown.

Although the Arctic is far from where we live the devastating results of commercial fishing, climate change, and oil drilling will effect us (the world) like a chain reaction. The Arctic is home to so much wildlife and natives that we need on earth. The monetary benefits of commercial fishing, oil drilling, etc. are not worth the life long devastating impact it can have in the arctic. We should be doing what is possible to preserve the Arctic and it's wildlife.

The Artic is at great risk.

The environment is dwindling as it is. This is all we have left: our planet. Humans cannot afford to succumb to greed and ignorance at this time.
