  • Free Lucky: The Elephant Left to Die in Solitary Confinement
    Lucky the elephant, held at the San Antonio Zoo, is to be kept in solitary confinement for the rest of her life, despite the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' bylaw that states that elephants in captivity must be kept with at least two other elephants, which will be active in 2016. The Tennessee Elephant Sanctuary has offered to take Lucky in, but Steve McCusker, the former director of the San Antonio Zoo, claims that she is "weird" and too old to be moved into a sanctuary with other elephants. The San Antonio Zoo has been rated by In Defense of Animals as the No. 1 WORST zoo in the country, and Lucky's circumstances are proof of just that.

  • It is the right of the people to vote directly on the laws.
    Freedom and equality depend on each citizen having free and equal influence on the government they live under. The only way that is possible is for each citizen to vote directly on the laws and not for representatives that make and vote on the laws. See T. Paine and T. Jefferson statement on assosactualdemocracy.com.

  • Tell Markell: Veto HB 359
    Your immediate action is needed to urge Governor Jack Markell to VETO HB 359. HB 359 would allow physical therapists to perform "dry needling" with a verbal referral from a physician. "Dry needling" is another name for one specific technique within the practice of acupuncture and is performed using acupuncture needles. This form of acupuncture, referred to as "dry needling" by physical therapists is not within the scope of practice of physical therapists thereby presenting a significant risk to patient and public health safety. Physical therapists are not trained in the therapeutic use of needles nor the theoretical and clinical foundation to perform such techniques. "Dry needling certification" is not accredited by any credible certifying agency and is obtainable by physical therapists over a weekend course in contrast to the 1,800 (300 clinical) contact hours required by an acupuncturist to perform the same techniques. Accordingly, HB 359 will potentially place the general public in significant danger of injury and harm due to unsafe and unqualified needle practices. It will further place an undue burden on the lawful practice of medicine and acupuncture. By signing this petition, you will send a clear message to Governor Markell that HB 359 will negatively impact the standard of healthcare and safety of Delawareans. Thank you for your commitment to patient safety. Lee Andrew DeLorme, Director, First State Healthcare Advocacy Michael Taromina, Esq.

  • US allow international peace-keepers in Palestine
    I've been very upset by the continued killing of civilians, women, and children in Palestine. The same national issues and military reactions have re-occurred over many decades between Palestine and Israel without any substantial improvement. The United States has repeatedly attempted holding peace negotiations for the same amount of time, and this has also not helped the situation. This arrangement has not worked and is not working. Something different needs to be attempted.

  • Creation of a Palestinian State
    Balance of power. Israel vs. Palestine. Nuclear, tanks, F-18, artillery rounds, attack helicopters, Division of a regular Army, vs. rocks, "peanut rockets" -- the rockets being fired at Israel are not Cruise Missiles or Minute Men -- sling-shots, bare hands. Time has turned things around. Israel is the new Goliath. Palestine the new David. Don't forget. They are both children of God. Why the tunnels? For Americans to approve what Israel is doing simply means they don't understand the geography, the demography of Palestine. The media must explain the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, the blockade, the check points, Israel Coast Guard preventing any contact with the outside. It looks like Israel is doing to the Palestinians what Hitler did to the Jews. This is totally un-American to me. This is a Human Right issue. And Israel has the power and the responsibility to solve the Palestinian problem in a dignified and humanitarian way, today if it wants to. The international community should help Israel achieve this goal.

  • Stop Denying Services to Autistic Adults in Nebraska
    My daughter Allye was misdiagnosed as a child with mental health issues, when in reality she should have been identified as being on the autism spectrum. By age 7, her disability issues were profound enough that not only did she start spending extended periods of time confined in mental hospitals, but started receiving SSI benefits. She is almost 28-years old, and she is still having major disability issues, and she is still receiving SSI as her only source of income. As a child, Allye had access to day programs and services that helped her to learn appropriate skills to function day-to-day in her world. Unfortunately, now that she is an adult, she is no longer eligible for those same programs that so tremendously helped her. As a consequence, she cannot interpret properly all that is happening around her, and she is unable to move away from the home due to her vulnerability and lack of access to appropriate care. Also, as her parent and primary caregiver, my life is in constant distress with moments that could best be described as nightmarish, full of fear. Back in 2006, I attempted to get Allye services through the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DD), through the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). This entity deemed in 2007, through a court appeal, that Allye was not eligible for their services because of her IQ being too high. They rejected the provisions laid out by medical professionals that demonstrated she met the requirements for their program through other means as stipulated in “Nebraska Revised Statutes §§ 83-1205, 1209 and 12-1216, and Title 404 NAC, Chapter 3 of the Nebraska Administrative Code” (see http://dhhs.ne.gov/developmental_disabilities/Pages/DD-Eligibility-2.aspx). Now, seven years later, we are back in Appeals court with further documentation from two different psychologists—one of who specializes in females with autism, another who was hired by DHHS to verify not only that she had autism, but the extent of her disability issues—and DD/DHHS has filed a motion to dismiss the case on the grounds that a previous decision had been made claiming no new evidence had been provided about her having a developmental disability AND that the decision they had made in 2007 had been a final decision . . . yet they looked at both psychological reports as new evidence; they also allowed for me to appeal their decision of “No” allowing for me to participate in an Informal Dispute Resolution last November 2013. And in the event that my daughter is to be able to continue with her appeal, DD/DHHS has requested of the judge that any evidence from 2007 admitted into court not be allowed this time around to help in proving that she qualifies for their services. Why should Allye have to JUSTIFY her need for services—that is, programs only accessible if an individual is defined as developmentally-disabled—if three or more psychologists are already defining her as developmentally-disabled and able to provide documentation providing verification of their determination? Why should she, and others like her, be forced into the position of being holed up in family’s basements and extra bedrooms because they cannot access those services they need to be able to live as independently as possible as adults functioning in the cog of society? Tell Nebraska’s state representatives, its governor, and the leadership of DHHS to stop bullying around our autistic adults; to give them a chance to live a quality level of life as all individuals are entitled in the United States of America; to provide our adult autistic community access to services on both the behavioral health and developmental-disability sides of service through Nebraska’s DHHS.
