Many police are violating citizens rights. Too many citizens are being killed and abused over simple misdemeanors. For desk appearance tickets, none violent offences citizens are being arrested and sent to jail for the charges to be dismissed or they are given the desk appearance ticket THEY Should HAVE BEEN Given To BEGIN with. Until police are charged with false arrest wasting time and money. The police will continue violating citizens right because there is no deterrent for them. When the citizen demands to know why they are being detained and they object, they are then charged with resisting arrest, whereas they shouldn't have been arrested. Until police are penalized and charged with violating citizens rights, breaking the law they are suppose to uphold, they will continue to act like they are above the law.

The U.S. House and Senate just voted UNANIMOUSLY to support Israel's attack on a hostage people confined in an occupation prison, who have nowhere to run or take refuge -- in violation of international law. Every LIBERAL Democrat LIED by voting for the resolution to condemn Hamas' "UNPROVOKED" rocket fire on Israel . Why lie? Because, to attack an occupied people without provocation is a WAR CRIME. But, in the weeks before Hamas began its rocket fire, Israel had been invading and destroying homes and wounding and arresting hundreds of people in the West Bank under the pretense they were looking for three kidnapped teenagers when they knew full well the teenagers were already dead and that Hamas was not involved. If there are any people in this country who believe that is wrong, they have NOT A SINGLE REPRESENTATIVE VOICE IN GOVERNMENT. Therefore, we present this petition to the President and Congress of the United States to make it known that they do not represent us with their vote to endorse Israel's illegal siege and prosecution of war on the occupied people of Gaza.

It's not fair when the Grandparents have a great relationship with a Grandchild then their parents won't allow them to see you for spiteful reason. My Grandson even told me his dad was mean to him and he wanted to live with me, I don't even get to see him.

The California DISCLOSE Act (SB 52) would turn the tide on unlimited secret money in politics by exposing those who try to buy elections with deceptive ads. SB 52 will make all TV, radio, and print ads for ballot measures show their top three REAL funders clearly and prominently. No hiding in fine print behind front groups. The bill is close to passage but now some of the biggest interests in Sacramento are trying to stop it. Sign our petition to demand the Assembly pass the California DISCLOSE Act today.

The Government of Haiti could care less about another person life. Congressman Belizaire needs to be alive to continue the fight for the poor Haitians living in the slums, most unable to stand up for themselves. We want him to stop the hunger strike because, per his physician, his health is rapidly deteriorating, and for humanitarian reasons. The people will have no one to fight for their right.

Please be aware, under the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) it is health care policy to afford access to lifesaving treatment with provision of medical food to children and discriminate against prospective enrollees because of AGE for phenylketonuria (PKU), a liver enzyme deficiency or inborn error of amino acid metabolism (IEM) which requires a severely restricted, lifelong therapeutic diet. Failure to continuously treat PKU results in devastating clinical outcomes, even into adulthood – such as mental illness, psychological disorders and neurological deterioration that are otherwise preventable. It is the responsibility of the US federal government to assure EQUALITY in the provision of successful working conditions and BENEFITS for the recruitment and retainment of a world-class workforce, for all federal employees - including myself - who live with PKU and equally fulfill a critical role in the provision of safe, quality health care for the nation’s Veterans. Such inappropriate discriminatory health care policy compromises public health and safety for employees with IEM, fails to comply with the Affordable Care Act and many state mandates, and does not uphold key, quality measures that integrate scientific research with clinical practice as necessary to meet national patient safety goals and standards. America does not tolerate discrimination. Despite evidence from leading medical and scientific experts and governmental partners (NIH, FDA, academia, many medical specialty societies, and industrial leaders in nutritional therapy), individual constituent matters have been passed to bureaucrats who lack the experience and expertise in the clinical management of specialized, rare genetic disorders such as PKU. No action has been taken by policy makers to address the blatant discrimination, health care disparity and inequity under the existing FEHBP plan structure - as has been for years. I am calling on your executive authority to do whatever you can to intervene while the legislative branch has been stagnant and inadvertent – for decades – as evidenced by more than 35 years having passed since the original call for Medical Foods Equity. Because Congress has failed to pass any patient protections to resolve policy problems, these issues of the past have now evolved to 21st century obstacles to access medically essential treatment. This irresponsible governance leaves a minority population of federal employees unnecessarily and unjustifiably disenfranchised from the US health care system for which they contribute. This is not the American way, and goes against the principle, fundamental core values and freedoms of our American democracy for which this country was founded. Please heed the call and echoes from President Roosevelt’s 1941 Four Freedoms speech and remind Congress, “Since the beginning of our American history, we have been engaged in change - in a perpetual peaceful revolution – a revolution which goes on steadily, quietly adjusting itself to changing conditions.” The government needs to change and do more - Empower - Do Not Discriminate against essential health care workers who successfully serve an integral role in public health and as stewards of taxpayers’ dollars. Medical food saved my life and my children’s lives. Continuous provision necessitates the discriminatory policy be removed so the federal workforce’s most essential asset –the people - have equal opportunity to serve, and to live a lifetime with dignity, integrity, and respect. I refuse to be handicapped by the US federal government anymore.

To protect homes and businesses from flooding. Recent rains have resulted in unusually high street flooding.

We should all rise up against tax whiners. Taxes have gone down steadily for decades, yet the less the whiners are taxed, the louder they whine. I am mad as hell and I am not going to take it any more.

We need the ban on pitulls in the Dayton, Ky area lifted. My family and I just moved to Dayton, Ky and someone called animal control on us just because she looks like a pitbull and they said we have to get rid of her, we really don't want to she's part of our family.

Massachusetts has been a proud leader in denouncing the Citizens United decision and preventing SuperPAC attack ads from influencing campaigns. Since Citizens United, these shadowy groups have used their unlimited, undisclosed corporate donations to launch negative attacks and drown out the voices of average voters across the country. In 2012, Elizabeth Warren and Scott Brown led the way in voluntarily agreeing to ban these groups in their Senate campaign. Ed Markey and Steven Lynch followed suit in their race. No matter which candidate you’re supporting, if you’re undecided or you may live outside Massachusetts, by joining our efforts you’re helping to send a strong message that the Citizens United decision was wrong. These secretive, special interest groups drown out the voice of average voters, breed cynicism, and threaten our democracy. We believe this campaign should be about grassroots activism and candidates’ ideas for the future, not attacks ads funded by undisclosed corporate interests.

My husband is a conductor for BNSF Railroad, which is about to try to lower crews to 1 man. To keep the trains safe we need to keep 2-man crews. Please sign this petition to keep my husband and all railroaders safe! Thank you.
