Koch Industries seeks to corrupt universities and the standards of education with their toxic strings attached. The University of Arizona has represented higher education beginning in 1885, and people in Arizona, & worldwide, demand the UofA uphold integrity and reject the Koch Brothers and all dark fundings. Here is a list of Universities and Schools where Koch money has infiltrated already; please note UofA is mentioned: http://www.kochfamilyfoundations.org/pdfs/CKFUniversityPrograms.pdf Tucson's local magazine voices concerns over radical Think Tank infiltration and deep-lobbying strategies at UofA: http://www.tucsonweekly.com/tucson/freedoms-ring/Content?oid=3133482 For those unaware of Charles and David Kochs' agenda, they seek to abolish the Environmental Protection Agency, further Lower minimum wages, discourage solar energy, shred women's rights ...while funneling millions to right wing candidates who will comply with them. Therefore, the University of Arizona needs to hear we are firm in our resolve to oppose dark money infiltration into education.

10 million union construction retirees and future retirees are in danger of losing ALL their pensions completely by 2022. The ERISA laws that protect ALL workers sunset this Dec.31, 2014. Companies and union leaders want to get rid of the NO CUT BACK provision in the current ERSA laws. If they change the laws it would affect ALL workers in the United States.

Given my love for the State of Florida and the protection of the people and future generations of children who will grow up to inhabit this land, and my work as an educator and Executive Director of PALS AROUND THE WORLD - an organization that educates children on Environmental Awareness issues, I have started this petition for the protection of the endangered forests recently sold to Walmart by the University of Miami that appeared in today's Miami Herald.

The proposed seismic surveys along the Eastern Coast of the United States will negatively effect dozens of marine mammal species like the Right Whale. Furthermore, we need to be pursuing clean and renewable energy sources like wind and solar, not dirty oil. Save the marine mammals and prevent another Gulf Oil Spill: Ban Seismic Surveys for oil exploration!

After Naked Truth (ANT) We use the sword of truth to cut through well-dressed lies to reveal the NAKED TRUTH VISION: Hold commercial entities, elected officials, pastors, civil rights organizations, and ourselves accountable. MISSION: To make prosperity be defined as the absence of the poor not the presence of the rich. Governor Mike Pence Indiana State Capitol Building, Room 206 Indianapolis, Indiana 46204 317-232-4567 Governor's Phone Dear Governor Pence: We call on you to act boldly now to end the torture now practiced in the Indiana prisons. As the international community has examined the research, including over a century of scientific studies suggesting that prolonged solitary confinement leads to irreversible mental degradation, experts have found that use of segregation for periods in excess of fifteen days constitutes torture and cannot be supported under existing international standards for human rights. Kofi Ajabu has spent over a decade in solitary and still experiences solitary as of this writing. And he is not the only Indiana inmate suffering from this condition. The abuses of solitary confinement are now being litigated in the Federal Courts, and reviewed in Congressional hearings. The treatment of inmates has become the subject of international reviews of this nation's human rights record. DOC present policies require an hour of daily exercise and regular access to personal hygiene for every inmate held there. In many instances these policies are ignored. As a result inmates for whom you are responsible have gone weeks without a shower or an hour in the exercise yard. We assert that these practices compound the torture inherent in long periods of solitary confinement and are inconsistent with the values of a state Constituted to "insure justice to all;" and that no "cruel and unusual punishments be inflicted". We appeal to you to sign an executive order that implements a moratorium to end this torture conducted in our name and with our tax dollars. Sincerely, Rev. Mmoja Ajabu, Founder 770-365-8048 [email protected] TO COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDER We plan to present the above letter the governor of Indiana in September. We will notify you of exact date and time. Please indicate your willingness to be a signatory by August 31st. Thanks in advance for your cooperation. – Rev. Ajabu

To stop the war between Israel and Palestine. Most of the people being killed by random bombing by Israeli forces, is killing mostly children and the elderly.

i want to prevent my ordeal- with loney hutchins and 21st century living services - from happening again

I am a survivor of Domestic Violence. My son and I felt as prisoners in our our own home, due to the abuser being out on bail, while we were unable to leave our home.

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.

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.us

Beluga 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.

My ongoing dispute with the University of Minnesota has been long and hard. Injecting fairness and justice back into our academic system is the right action to take. I urge President Kaler to restore my rights and benefits without further delay. I look forward to being a worker again.
