I am deeply offended that MIT would glorify such destructive, sociopathic brothers as the Kochs. How can an institution that works to better the environment promote two men who are largely climate change deniers and responsible for environmental destruction.

Anonymous Delaware companies have been used to facilitate drug smuggling, arms trafficking, and anonymous campaign contributions; force foreclosures on ordinary Americans; and launder the proceeds of overseas corruption. As a corporate leader, we need to ensure our state is not being used by criminals for illicit purposes. The Incorporation Transparency and Law Enforcement Act will require states to collect beneficial ownership information from companies (the real person profiting from the company), which will allow law enforcement to track illicit funds and activities more efficiently and effectively. The bill exempts publicly listed companies and would apply to all U.S. states, so does not create any competitive disadvantages for Delaware.

Cambridge has not had the chance to thoroughly discuss the new online high-stakes test called PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Career) as a replacement for MCAS (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System) and what it will mean for our kids, teachers, and K-12 schools.

The unfair deportation of this man will break up a wonderful family, take him away from his children and wife and create extreme hardship for them. He poses no threat to society and is a stable, hard-working individual.

This petition is to stop the illegality of feeding the homeless. Recently, in Daytona Beach, FL, a couple who were hosting a private charity, and have hosted it for years, to feed the homeless were arrested, cited and fined. This is what the Chief of Police, Mike Chitwood, had to say, and I quote, "if you want to do the Christian thing and feed them, then join social services". Well Mr. Chitwood, no disrespect to your "wise" advice, but Christianity digs way too deep for that. Even if you aren't religious, take into consideration that there are not only adults who are homeless but children as well. It's a shame to see this kind of thing being put into play, but together we can stop this. Maybe it's just me being who I am, but I believe everyone deserves the right to eat and be able to go to sleep on a full stomach. Let's not ignore other countries of course, but let's start by getting our country fed.

When the tragedy of losing a soldier in war afflicts a community, usually the township allows the soldier to live on not in just spirit, but with a physical sign. There has been no progress made in honoring Kareem, a Purple Heart award winning soldier lost in Iraq to an IED, with a dedicated street in his hometown. We are not asking for the official name of a road to be renamed on the postal service and on maps, just a dedication as most communities in America honor their locally raised heroes.

Ronnie West-Howard is a friend to all in the school. He is a nice, friendly student who was given the maximum punishment which he did not deserve. We want him back in school.

We won! After 40,000 people signed petitions, Governor Brown signed SB 27, the historic bill to make Dark Money non-profits reveal their secret funders. It’s a major victory, but we must also make sure voters actually see who's behind political ads. We must pass the California DISCLOSE Act, SB 52. Our SB 27 triumph shows that when tens of thousands of you apply pressure we can win! Sign the petition thanking Governor Brown for signing SB 27, and asking him to lead on passing SB 52.

Knowing the horrible truth, we must do the right thing. Ringling Bros. Circus has been coming to Greensboro for about 50 years. This has to come to a halt because wild animals are NOT on the earth for human entertainment! Greensboro is a more compassionate people than to allow this to continue to happen.

I feel like an opportunity is an opportunity whether it's here in the United states, Mexico or north korea.... Also not afraid to bring up a political situation

Cal Poly has recently experienced two sexual assault incidents. This has brought the issue of sexual assault to our attention. We created a student survey to investigate the campus climate and what students feel would make the Cal Poly campus safer. Our results showed that 50% of students either have been or know someone who has been sexually assaulted. Additionally, respondents reported that they would feel safer on campus with: more lighting (76.5%), security cameras (47%), more safe escort services (61.2%), and more self defense classes (60.2%). Finally, 34.5% stated that they would like department specific education programs and seminars to promote sexual assault awareness. From our research, in conjunction with Safer, we strongly suggest installing a seminar that is required for all incoming students, as well as an exit seminar prior to graduation. We urge you to take action immediately, on behalf of everyone in the Cal Poly community.

We're in danger of returning to an age when simple infections are potentially fatal. 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. The overuse and misuse of lifesaving antibiotics is causing these drugs to rapidly lose their effectiveness against dangerous infections. The biggest offenders: 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. Big farming operations discovered that giving antibiotics to healthy animals made them fatter, faster. Now many of them put antibiotics into the daily feed of all their livestock, sick or not. 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 World Health Organization, the American Medical Association, the American Public Health Association, and other leading medical groups all warn that the routine use of antibiotics in food animals presents a serious and growing threat to human health. Now, in the face of calls for reform, factory farms are spending big money to lobby against any new rules to curtail the overuse of antibiotics. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the authority to stop the worst overuse of antibiotics on factory farms. It's time for them to act.
