In 2008 for weeks preceding the election and on election day, Holy Name of Jesus displayed explicitly political anti-gay messages on their huge marquee as voters entered the compound to vote on Constitutional Amendment 2 banning same-sex marriage. In 2012 for weeks preceding the election and on election day, Holy Name of Jesus displayed explicitly political anti-choice messages on their huge marquee as voters entered the compound to vote on Constitutional Amendment 6, also known as the Florida Abortion Amendment. The Holy Name of Jesus "All life is Sacred, Born and Unborn" fetus monument qualifies as political speech, is within the 100 ft. campaign free zone, and therefore does not meet with standards written in law. Holy Name of Jesus while voluntarily offering their private property to be utilized as a polling place selectively restricts private individuals, candidates and organizations they don't agree with from setting up tables and signs on church property. In exercising our fundamental right to vote, we deserve the chance to vote in a neutral setting that is welcoming to the entire community, NOT just those supported by one particular religious sect.

On June 23, 2012 Darren Rainey, a 50-year-old mentally ill state prison inmate in Miami-Dade County, died after guards responded to his defecating in his cell by locking him into a 180-degree shower for two hours—at which point his skin was separating from his body. Local police, and the state, failed to properly investigate. The case was only brought to light in recent months by The Miami Herald. After two years, no one has been held criminally accountable, or even charged. Only the U.S. Department of Justice can properly investigate this terrible crime, and a broader culture of abuse in Florida’s prisons that has led to other unnecessary deaths, and which falls especially hard on the mentally ill.

One-sided response by New York City elected officials

The issue in Gaza can be seen in many Americans eyes as an oppression of a people. The passing of this bill marks an acceptance of this oppression. Countless innocent human lives have been brutally laid to rest by the hands of the Israelis. I don't feel our hard earned tax money should be appropriated to aid this in any sort of way; plan and simple. Please urge our President to take this off the table within the NDAA. You can read the bill here: http://www.appropriations.senate.gov/news/fy15-defense-subcommittee-markup-bill-summary "For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others." -Nelson Mandela

We the people demand the full dismissal of the Jersey City Police Officer who distributed false information about the bloods street gang issuing a general threat of violence and murder against police officers around the state. Such action only serves to promote and escalate violence in Jersey City. This officer, who is allowed to remain anonymous, has put the lives of his fellow officers and the people of the community that he swore to protect at risk. Police officers have a difficult time as it is with policing urban communities without additional terrorist threats looming overhead. The rumors that were spread turned every resident of that community into a terrorist and gave license for every officer for indiscriminate use of force. We the people, do not want this office to be disciplined. We do not want him behind a desk. We do not want him on suspension. We do not want him directing traffic. We want this officer be fully removed from the ranks of the Jersey City Police Department with no pension. We the people also request that a full investigation be done to his work prior to this recent discovery to ensure that has said officer has not done this before and to ensure that any arrests he made were not false.We also request this be done at the expense of the officer. We the people have spoken.

To stop a genocide against the helpless minorities in Northern Iraq

MUST Email the mayor today as they want to tear it down this week!!!! This has brought many hours of Fun to the neighborhood kids as well as first experience of swimming and therapeutic to some children. To take this away is tearing Longbrook apart piece by piece..last time the fireplace and now this. PLEASE SAVE THE POOL and maybe add a A splash pad for the older kids. It is the only place younger children can go to have a place of their own to swim and play. It is a part of Stratford history in and of a Longbrook Park... Keep a place for little kids and add a place for older kids...Please Call the mayor office and tell him why it should stay or email him~Mayor John A. Harkins As well as our representative and governor. Phone: (203) 385 - 4001 Email: [email protected]

As Americans, we can put a stop to the collective punishment of the Palestinean people by applying pressure on Israel (which our government funds and defends). 75% of all those killed by Israel's offensive have been innocent civilians. Thousands are injured and have lost loved ones, their homes, their hope. Hundreds of thousands are living in terror with no ability to seek safety or protect themselves or their children from danger.

Para evitar la reducción en el horario del Tren Urbano del Area Metropolitana de San Juan, Puerto Rico. Personalmente, la probabilidad de reducción de las horas del Tren Urbano de 11:00 a 8:00 pm me afecta directamente. Tengo una actividad en la Universidad de Puerto Rico que se extiende hasta las 9:00 y/o 10:00 pm, plantear reducir el servicio del TU hasta las 8:00 me limitaría en esta actividad y en las opciones de empleo que pudiese conseguir, ya que no tengo automóvil y dependo del TU para todos mis viajes de ida y vuelta. Es un disparate que tendría el efecto general de deprimir aún más la economía.

The petition is directed to those who are responsible for America's security and defense of its people. Our support of Israeli's action in Gaza is detrimental to both. America is now seen world wide as a terrorist state, as is Israel. The millions demonstrating around the world against Israel's brutality proves that. As an American of 78 years I have been misrepresented by this government since its inception as a state willing to ignore International Law beginning with the administration of George W. Bush.

WE, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, WANT ALL MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO STOP THE RACISM, HATRED, AND THREATS OF IMPEACHMENT BEING IMPLEMENTED BY THE GOP AGAINST THIS PRESIDENT, AND THE FIRST FAMILY. NEVER BEFORE IN HISTORY HAS THE LOSING PARTY RACIALLY ATTACKED A SITTING PRESIDENT IN A TIME OF WAR. THE WORLD IS WATCHING, AND WE ARE DESTROYING AMERICA WITHIN BY THOSE WHOSE ACTS SPEAK OF HIGH TREASON. CONGRESSMEN/WOMAN TOOK AN OATH, AND THEREFORE MUST STOP THESE UN-AMERICAN ACTIVITIES NOW!

It devastates the public of all races and religions to see fellow citizens blatantly killed for no reason other than a misdemeanor. If a person is instructing an officer that they cannot breathe and begging for their life, literally or fictitiously, they should be at the very least: ASKED, or QUESTIONED do you have a medical condition? Police must be made to respect the people they are hired to serve regardless of their race, religion, or creed! And held to a higher standard when these regulations are in fact broken! Please show your support now by signing this Petition.
