Stop the Assault on Gaza – Call for an immediate Cease-Fire and an end to the subhuman conditions...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.121 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Bianca Sopoci-Belknap

DTOP y TREN URBANO: NO reduzcan las horas de servicio del Tren Urbano.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.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lili Ortiz

Petition to U.S. Congress and SenatorsThe 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.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by William A. Cook

Stop The KillingIt 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.75 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sharney Jones

Thank Governor Brown for putting Prop 49, the Overturn Citizens United Act, on the ballot!Great news! Governor Brown just allowed SB 1272, the Overturn Citizens United Act, to go to this November's ballot as Proposition 49! Now, California voters will have the chance to tell Congress to pass a Constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court's terrible Citizens United and McCutcheon decisions, and to say that corporations aren't people, and money isn't speech. Please sign the petition thanking Governor Brown for letting Prop 49 go to the ballot and urging him to support it and SB 52, the California DISCLOSE Act.2,744 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by California Clean Money Campaign

Save Iraqi ChristiansThe plight of Iraq's Christians has now lasted longer than a decade, and recent militant uprisings in Mosul threaten to expunge the neighboring Chaldean-Assyrian-Syriac villages. This preliminary campaign will help kickstart a transnational movement focusing on development of a sovereign territory for the indigenous Iraqis.46 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rita Sabbagh

PUT AN END TO DENTAL DISEASES--PREVENT THEMAs a dental provider, I know that dental diseases are preventable. As a taxpayer, I don't want to pay for the creation of another dental provider to treat a preventable disease. Help the public understand that creating a midlevel provider, isn't the same as focusing on putting an end to dental diseases. We should be working to end dental diseases. Dental hygienists in schools, (with the goal of ending dental diseases for all children) in areas of LIMITED DENTAL ACCESS could happen now! Research is available that this type of intervention (done in 1979) ended dental diseases as we know them in schools, in Sweden. BMC Oral Health Proceedings Open Access The Effect of a Needs-Related Caries Preventive Program in Children and Young Adults – Results after 20 Years P Axelsson* Address: Department of Preventive Dentistry, Public Dental Health Service, Karlstad, Sweden Email: P Axelsson* - [email protected] * Corresponding author Abstract The risk for caries development in children varies significantly for different age groups, individuals, teeth, and surfaces. Thus from a cost-effectiveness point of view, caries preventive measures must be integrated and based on predicted risk from age group down to individual tooth surfaces. Based on this philosophy and experiences from continuously ongoing research on evaluating and reevaluating separate and integrated caries preventive measures, as well as methods for prediction of caries risk, a needs-related caries preventive program was introduced for all 0–19-year-olds in the county of Värmland, Sweden, in 1979. The goals for the subjects following the program from birth to the age of 19 years were: 1. To have no approximal restorations. 2. To have no occlusal amalgam restorations. 3. To have no approximal loss of periodontal attachment. 4. To motivate and encourage individuals to assume responsibility for their own oral health. The effect of the program is evaluated once every year on almost 100% of all 3–19-year-olds in a computer-aided epidemiologic program from 1979. Most of the individualized preventive program was carried out by dental hygienists or prophy dental assistants at clinics in the elementary schools. During the 20-year period the percentage of caries-free 3-year-olds increased from 51% to 97%. In 1999 as many as 86% of the 12-year-olds were caries free. Caries incidence was reduced more than 90% in all age groups. More than 90% did not develop any new caries lesions in 1999. As a consequence, caries prevalence was dramatically reduced. In 12- and 19-year-olds, the mean number of Decayed and Filled Surfaces (DFS) per individual was reduced from 6 to 0.3 and from 23 to 2 respectively. In 19-year-olds the mean number of approximal DFS was <1, and only 0.5 had to be filled. The mean number of occlusal DFS was <1. Since 1995 we have not been allowed to use amalgam in 1–19-year-olds in Sweden. As an effect of our high quality plaque program, approximal attachment loss was prevented, and by efficient education in self-care based on selfdiagnosis, needs-related self-care habits were established. Thus it can be concluded that nearly 100% of our goals had been achieved. from Biotechnology and Biomaterials to Reduce the Caries Epidemic Seattle, USA. 13–15 June 2005 Published: 10 July 2006 BMC Oral Health 2006, 6(Suppl 1):S7 doi:10.1186/1472-6831-6-S1-S7 <p>Biotechnology and Biomaterials to Reduce the Caries Epidemic</p> Rebecca L Slayton, James D Bryers, Peter Milgrom Proceedings http://www.biomedcentral.com/content/pdf/1472-6831-6-S1-info.pdf © 2006 Axelsson; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.
