Change FIFA World Cup to every 3 years or less!For the love of soccer (football), I understand that teams prepare for 4 years for the World Cup, but fans are so passionate about the World Cup that 4 years is too long to wait. How many times in a persons life will they see a World Cup? Not many if it's every 4 years, we the fans shouldn't have to wait. The true test of character and team will be shown if winners defend their World Cup title sooner than later.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Hasan Awan

Rep. Matsui and Senators Boxer and Feinstein: Support Winnemem cultural survival, oppose raising...In the words of Chief Caleen Sisk, Tribal Chief and Traditional Spiritual Leader of the Winnemem Wintu Tribe: "When the Creator put all of the creatures out through our Sacred Spring on Bohem Puyuk (Mt. Shasta), Salmon gave her voice to Human. In return we are committed to use our voice to always speak up for Salmon. We are the people of the Winnemem (McCloud) River watershed on the South side of Mt Shasta, in Northern California. In our language Winnemem Wintu translates to Middle Water People as the McCloud River is bounded by the Upper Sacramento to the West and the Pit River to the East. We were born from water, we are of the water, and we fight to protect it. We continue to pray and hold ceremony at our traditional sacred places that remain accessible to us. Our lands were taken, without compensation, when the Shasta Dam was completed in 1945 and flooded our beloved river home. "This latest proposal would inundate or damage more than 40 sacred sites, including our Coming of Age ceremony grounds on the Winnemem Waywaqat (McCloud River). Representative Jim Costa, of Fresno, has introduced a bill, H.R. 4125,co-signed by a number of California Democratic Congressmen, to raise the dam. No mention of the standing debt to our people. "Senator Diane Feinstein also supports the dam raise and will probably introduce a bill authorize it soon. You can make a difference to support Winnemem Wintu cultural survival by telling Congress not to authorize the proposal to raise Shasta Dam by 18.5 feet." Learn more about why the dam raise must be stopped at www.shastadamraise.com and www.winnememwintu.us34 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Delphine Brody

Tell the Georgia Aquarium: Free the Beluga WhalesBeluga whales are highly intelligent animals whose home range is many hundreds of square miles. They communicate over these great distances by means of sonar. Confining them to tiny concrete tanks is tantamount to a lifetime of torture: forced to swim in endless repetitive circles, their calls bounce back at them in a horrifying echo chamber. Eventually they exhibit signs of hopelessness and psychosis.1,259 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by John Carter

Sue the current GOP congressIt effects every American when a body in congress does not do their jobs, and wastes our tax dollars on partisan, hyped up, fake investigations; done for the sole purpose of trying to extract revenge, because they were not able to arbitrarily run rough shod over the wishes of we the people.10,520 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Barry Sensa

Justice For Jesse!I am starting this petition because as bizarre as this case may sound, it happened. There was no justice served in this case. Crawford County took an innocent young man and made him a criminal, they said he was a menace to society. Judge William Seay was very harsh and unjust in his decision to sentence Jesse to 12 years when child molesters and rapist are sentenced 3-7 years in prisons. Why? Where is our justice? Where is our Liberty? This man's life has been destroyed because two people made false statements and were set free of the crime they were arrested for. I am asking that this case be brought to the surface and Jesse be granted a pardon or sentence reduction and be released from prison and removed from parole (refer to MO Revised Statutes chapter 558 Imprisonment Section 558.046, August 28,2013). Jesse has served more than enough time in Missouri Department of Corrections; I want to see Justice for Jesse!!70 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Crystal

Turn Fire Camp 15 Louis Roth into a Homeless Camp & Resource CenterI believe it's possible to remove the majority of the homeless off the streets of Sunland Tujunga and into a safe enviroment by using Camp 15. I believe using the abandoned camp will incur a minimal amount of cost to the private & public sector. It is my hope this petition will generate enough interest to create a safe place for those of us who have lost our homes. Of the 20-plus homeless I've spoken with, all would be willing to volunteer their time & energy to make this a reality. Recently there has been numerous threats & various acts of vandalism. When we try to report it, nothing happens. We believe the time has come for our political leaders and community leaders to band together to help, not persecute, them, as is now happening with LAPD'S DAILY HARRASSMENT. THEY ARE CURRENTLY BEING STALKED BY A VIGiLANTE GROUP. WE ARE MEMBERS OF THIS COMMUNITY & WE DEMAND TO BE TREATED AS SUCH. Many of us actually feel as though we're living in pre WW 2 Germany. it's like being one step away from the concentration camps, and we all know what comes after that. I for one don't feel like being a pizza. We thank you for your time. Hopefully you'll find it in your heart to sign this, and send a message to our local leaders. you don't have to be a resident, just someone who cares about people.76 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dennis L.Bowden

Save Mr. RosaMr. Rosa is one of the most professional teachers I know and I would hate for a great teacher to lose a job based on a mistake that may have been an accident. He's taught me so much and I don't want a teacher who has impacted lives to be turned down because of a mistake. Considering John Muir High School has a bad reputation, he's one of the best teachers who cares about the students and actually shows that he wants to be there.622 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Devin Perry
