• New Hampshire: Tell the EPA to ban bee-killing pesticides
    Europe has already fought back against powerful chemical companies and took a big step to protect bees by putting into effect a ban of the top bee-killing “neonic” pesticides. Now it’s our turn! Join Friends of the Earth and our allies in demanding that the EPA take immediate action to protect bees! Bees are critical in producing the majority of our food crops and the evidence is mounting that Bayer and Syngenta’s pesticides are a key contributor to mass bee die-offs. However, the EPA continues to ignore scientists -- even those employed by the EPA -- and has delayed action until 2018. But the bees can’t wait -- and neither can we! U.S. beekeepers have been consistently losing 40-100 percent of their hives. This winter, beekeepers are likely facing yet another season of historic bee die offs. We can’t let the EPA wait another five years to address this crisis. Please take action today and tell the EPA to ban bee-killing pesticides.

  • Stop the Overuse of Antibiotics on Factory Farms
    According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every year more than two million people are hospitalized and 23,000 die because they have been infected with antibiotic-resistant bacteria. We're now in danger of returning to an age when simple infections are potentially fatal. Our decision-makers need to hear from the public, and it needs to happen quickly. That’s why we've launched a campaign to stop the overuse of antibiotics where the problem is the worst -- on factory farms that mix antibiotics right into the feed of healthy animals. In fact, 80 percent of the antibiotics sold in the U.S. are for animals. The result? Bacteria that come into contact with these animals mutate and become resistant to antibiotics, and the infections these bacteria cause -- everything from pneumonia to MRSA -- become harder and harder to treat. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the authority to stop the worst overuse of antibiotics on factory farms. Please join us in calling on the FDA to act now.

  • MBTA: don't make a mess!
    Just as the late-night T service begins, the MBTA is planning to cut cleaning services to the bone beginning September 1st. At stations across the Greater Boston, nearly 100 out of 315 janitors are about to lose their jobs – nearly 1/3 of the total cleaning workforce. This means grime-filled staircases, dirty walls, garbage-strewn stations and sticky floors. I´ve been cleaning these stations for over 8 years. These cuts are not going to work . . . and we are going to smell the results.

  • Audit the Pentagon
    Our greatest enemy today is the increasingly Extreme Weather brought about by runaway Global Warming. Yet, we continue to build battleships, nuclear missles, and bombs that will not protect our nation from our biggest threat. The Pentagon has never been audited and is believed to be filled with massive waste, duplication, cost-overuns and the like. Let's start there to begin really protecting our national security from real existential threats !

  • Historical Justice for the African Holocaust in the Congo Free State (1885-1908).
    The Free State criminal rule was eventually condemned in its day by the international community. However, history was forgotten and currently Belgium is denying the truth, glorifying Leopold II with monuments and euro coins. Even though there were some books written recently and the British Parliament proposed a motion on it in 2006, this horrific murderous regime has not yet received its due historical justice.

  • Open Road to Sunrise Sooner
    PLEASE OPEN THE SUNRISE SIDE OF THE PARK NOW Mt. Rainier National Park puts huge efforts into the Paradise side of the Park benefitting the small towns along the way while our Sunrise side is low on the priority list. Help us send a message to the Park that Enumclaw and Sunrise matter. Lost visitor traffic through our community irreparably damages our small hometown economy. The National Park service calls Enumclaw a "Gateway Community." The roads are nearly cleared and plowed. The gates should open. The Park website currently shows a planned opening date for Sunrise of July 3rd. Paradise, and the Paradise area is kept open year-round with plans to open a second road - Paradise Valley on June 20th. The lack of an earlier opening date unfairly hurts businesses in Enumclaw, Greenwater and Crystal Mountain - sending Mt. Rainier traffic through Ashford to the other side of the Park. We are asking for the road to open by next weekend, June 20, if not sooner.

  • No More Bank Racketeering From NationStar Mortgage!
    NationStar Mortgage, led by no other than Jay Bray and his Gang of Thieves, has managed to foreclose on many disabled people as well as the elderly, the working poor and minorities of this country. This has got to be stopped. If you are one of these people, andJay and the Gang has gotten your mortgage via Bank of America, please know you are not alone. Jay and his Gang from NationStar Mortgage have started in the last 3 years to place fees that they can not explain on your mortgage. Are you that person that has a fixed mortgage that has had your mortgage payment go up? Are you that person that paid off your mortgage; NationStar has not given you ANY THING to say you have paid such mortgage. Are you that person that has been given the run around when you ask why your mortgage will never be the same payment again due to fees NO ONE in that Company can explain? Are you that person that gets a bill each month that keepsd getting higher with Jay and the Gangs racketeering methods. Jay was part of Bank of America's Prime Lending Department before the Government said, "No more." Jay Bray was rewarded by becoming Chief Executive Officer and Director of --YES you got it -- NationStar, located in Lewisville, Texas. ​Jay Bray MUST BE STOPPED.​ NATIONSTAR MUST BE STOPPED! ​You can check out the damage from this company; just type NationStar Mortgage complaints​. Please sign this petition and pass it on. This will be sent to Senator Elizabeth Warren. James of Cornville, AZ on June 5, 2014 With many previous problems with Bank of America in very poor record keeping, misappropriation of funds and NO follow up on my two attempts at Refi. Jan. 2013, our mortgage was transferred to Nationstar. It has been a nightmare since. TERRIBLE record keeping, rude and insulting customer service reps, failure to correct their errors and now threats of foreclosure. An 'F' rating from Dallas BBB two months ago! Since Day 1, I have kept meticulous, DETAILED records, talked to more than 40 people with no resolution! Errors ruined our Credit ratings. This treatment made both me and my wife VERY ill, including hospitalizations. I have discussed, mailed, faxed my complete records dozens of times. I wrote to Mr. Bray, CEO, with complaints and records. Not even the courtesy of a reply from his office, and no corrections. I filed complaints with CFPB, Attorneys General in AZ and TX, Texas BBB, Senator Warren and now the DOJ. I have had two past heart attacks and NOT likely to survive a third. Wife spent 8 days in Acute Neurological Center for severe seizures caused all this stress. If they do steal our home, we stand to lose $40,000 in down payment and buy-down - ALL our lifetime savings. I am going to TV Investigators to take this public. There is doubt my life has been shortened as a result of this unnecessary stress. I am now 70 years old and this has taken a huge toll on our health. I have done EVERYTHING conceivable to clear up their mess, but they are so intractable, rude and disorganized in correcting their errors!! There are too many people like my friend that this is happening too.

  • Tawny Martin JUSTICE Please Help! !
    this petition is my last attempt at seeking justice for a TERRIBLE crime that should be its own movie.. to show people what can happen because of these insurance laws. did you know I had to go against my own insurance company because this man didn't have insurance and I didn't even get the full policy amount.. back then I did not have a lawyer because I could not find one that was able to help me.. I have been through 3 different lawyers on this.. me being an extremely poor person- don't have too many choices.. and the system for food stamps Medicaid all that... well let's just say I finally got home care and Medicaid in 2013 when I applied in 2011. I applied when I had no income. for the first time in my life 15 months following this accident I had no income despite my three different types of insurance policies I carried to cover my ass.. I had to max out my credit and borrow money from my poor parents to live. now my credit is also gone though I have spent 30 years making it nearly perfect.. I live in a garage that is not suited for a disabled person I have two dogs that I cannot walk any longer, luckily my friend helps me.. if I didn't have one good friends through this I would already be in a nursing home at 35 years old after working my butt off my whole life many years I had three different jobs just to make ends meet. I was awarded Social Security disability income after 9 months, which is rare at my age. that right there should tell anyone reading this the severity of the injuries I was left with... as the government does not approve disability for people quickly or very easily however in my case they did and thank God cause I had no income until they did.. and believe me I paid for this and come I worked as much in my life as my dad did even though there is a 30-year span between our ages we both worked the same amount of hours because I was a single woman and we grew up in different time eras. as well as with the new Obamacare plans I have now lost all my health care because I have Medicaid my PCT of 30 years will not take my insurance my pain doctor will not take my insurance nobody that I know will take my insurance I have a blood clot sitting on my head for me in recent head injury or so and I'm no doctor to go to to get it checked out.. also people can go by insurance and they get a card that says they're covered for 6 months after they pay one month because of this, this man got away with what he did to me!!!
