The petition is about maintaining current Postal Service delivery standards. If they are changed, there will no longer be next-day delivery.

Discrimination is rampant against American citizens who conscientiously object to the political parties and party bosses who rule our nation. Independent voters who place loyalty to our nation above loyalty to a political party should have an equal opportunity to participate in our democratic republic.

Corporations in the U.S. enjoy many a huge number of benefits and protections by being here from the safety provided by our military to quality roads that allow them to easily transport their products to a consumer system to purchase those products to an educated labor force. It is not fair for them to avoid paying for some share of the costs of all these (and many more) benefits. We have all been affected by this skyrocketing trend as the middle class share of the tax burden continues to grow and the middle class to shrink. This is a crime against our nation.

Red is a natural hair color and all redheads come in a wide variety of shades. Hayleigh loves red and loves her red hair. Help her voice that what she has been is okay to keep being!

Teachers teaching core subjects should be required to have Bachelor's degrees. As a parent of a child in California public schools, I join other parents and teachers concerned that: Lowering teaching standards compromises quality programs for students; This sets a dangerous precedent to de-professionalize teaching by allowing substitutes by non-professional teachers; The Commission has created confusion and has compromised the safety and education of students by authorizing unqualified personnel to teach core academic subject areas; These actions fly in the face of the California legislature's requirement of a Bachelor's degree to teach academic subjects.

USA based committee, Justice For West Papuans and the undersigned are demanding that Human Rights Violations against Papuans stop. This Genocide by the Indonesian government is a crime against humanity which is currently with impunity.

Because the war in Gaza is too cruel and a lot of people who aren't guilty become victims.

The money never stops flowing at the Twin River Casino – until it reaches the front door. Rhode Island's largest gaming and entertainment venue has been driving its valet drivers closer and closer to poverty. Over the last few years, the casino has lowered wages for new hires and steadily decreased healthcare coverage. Right now, valets make as little as $3/hour or even less. It's not a wage that anyone can live on. We’re uniting together as a community to support the valets in their negotiations for better treatment. Sign the petition to demand the Twin River Casino pay its employees higher wages and provide affordable healthcare coverage for their families!

Today’s crisis in Iraq has its origins in the Bush Administration's disastrous decision to invade in 2003. As we continue to live with the consequences of those mistakes, we must recognize the hard reality that lasting and sustainable peace in Iraq can only be achieved with an Iraqi-led political solution. As President Obama has said, there is no viable military solution to this crisis. That is why the recent bombing airstrikes launched in Iraq by U.S. military forces -- and the calls by some in Congress to escalate further -- are troubling. The risks of mission creep, unintended consequences, and incremental escalation are just too high. And after more than a decade of conflict, America cannot afford another Iraq war. We must not repeat the same mistakes of the past nor forget the lessons of past military interventions that led to war, even with the sincerest intentions to keep them limited and brief. We welcome President Obama’s swift decision to provide humanitarian aid to the innocent men, women, and children who have been trapped by this dangerous conflict. But if U.S. military intervention backfires and ignites another Iraq war, more civilians in Iraq would suffer -- along with American lives and interests. For all these reasons, we urge the President and Congress to reject further U.S. military action in Iraq. Stop America from sliding down the slippery slope to war!

I'm starting this petition on behalf of myself, my family, my friends, and my community who have all been unjustifiably battered by sky-high parking tickets in Los Angeles, which are set to rise again.

We're sure you’ve heard the news: Sen. John Walsh has decided to take his name out of the running for re-election. Because Walsh already won the primary, the Montana Democratic Party now must hold a convention to pick a new candidate. It’s been rumored that some of the candidates in the mix aren’t pro-choice. Montana has a long history of electing pro-choice Democrats to statewide office who trust Montana women and support reproductive freedom. There's so much at stake in this election. If we lose this pro-choice seat in the Senate, it’s going to be that much harder to block attacks on our rights and nearly impossible to get qualified nominees onto our nation’s courts. We can influence this process by showing an overwhelming support for candidates who support reproductive freedom, but we have to move quickly. Join us in calling on the Montana Democratic Party to respect Montana voters by backing a Senate candidate who’ll be an advocate for a woman's right to access contraception and abortion.
