Call on Apple Inc. to cancel the purchase of Beats Music and Beats Electronics. If they do not, all moral people should consider boycotting Apple. A major owner and co-founder of Beats Music and Beats Electronics, Andre Romelle Young (a.k.a. "Dr Dre") has allegedly practiced and promoted violence, particularly against woman. Two or more women have accused Andre Young of severely beating them. "Dr Dre's" former girlfriend, Michel'le Toussant (a.k.a. Michel'le) said that "Dr Dre" broke her nose, and repeatedly blackened her eyes. Speaking of "Dr Dre", Michel'le said "I did five videos and we had to cover three black eyes. It seemed like the day before a video, I would get a black eye and we had to cover it." "Dr Dre" is the father of Michel'le's son, Marcel. Denise "Dee" Barnes, is a performer whose stage name was "D Zire". According to Rolling Stone reporter Alan Light, on January 27, 1991, "Dr Dre" encountered Barnes at a record release party in Hollywood, and "He ["Dr Dre"] picked her up by her hair and began slamming her head and the right side of her body repeatedly against a brick wall near the stairway as his bodyguard held off the crowd with a gun. After Dre tried to throw her down the stairs and failed, he began kicking her in the ribs and hands. She escaped and ran into the women's rest room. Dre followed her and grabbed her from behind by the hair again and proceeded to punch her in the back of the head." Another major owner and co-founder of Beats is Jimmy Iovine. Jimmy Iovine and “Dr Dre” have each produced many rap artists whose lyrics are violent. Here are parts of just one song from “Dr Dre”: “Who is the man with the masterplan? A Nigga Witta motherf*cking Gun! See I never take a step on a Compton block or LA without the AK ready to pop. And for a youth to survive a nigga gotta be a gangster. And I'm a nigga you can't remove. Took out a lot of motherf*uckers for tryin' to prove to their homies they can hang by dealin' with me. But once again in the end they D-E-A-D. I never did time on a murder yet. If you see me on the solo moves believe that I'm strapped .44, .38 or AK 47. You want a stairway to heaven? Just put my finger on the trigger and pull back and lay a punk motherfucker flat.” Is this what Apple wants to support? Is this what Apple wants to promote? By paying these men approximately $3 billion? If this is what Apple wants, please do not support Apple in any way. Call on Apple to cancel the purchase of Beats Music and Beats Electronics.

A Facebook friend of mine used Sergeants Bansect on her kitty and it put her in seizures!! We need to Stop this company for EVER killing any more of our precious pets. Please help us Save our animals, because we do not know Who to Trust!

We have all been affected by this increased violence. It would help the state with the extra expense of protecting our citizens and schools during these violent attacks. Considering the success of the extra tax on tobacco and alcohol the state and citizens should benefit from this tax. We need it now!

If there's a more appalling way to turn someone's trauma into a punchline, we haven't seen it yet.

We have a rare opportunity to put the pressure on and make Wisconsin the next state to bring equal rights to same-sex couples.

This man deserves to be allowed to retire after 19 years of honorable service to our country. He should not be medically forced out with no benefits. Our Veterans should NEVER be treated this way.

Wildfire season has arrived! We are in a serious drought in the Southwest. According to the National Interagency Coordination Center there are 7 uncontained and 3 new wildfires on public lands on May 31, 2014. [http://www.nifc.gov/fireInfo/fireInfo_statistics.html]. Yet the Forest Service and Department of Interior agencies (including BLM and Park Service) have not gone into emergency mode to clear underbrush fuels and make fire lines—before the fires start! Wildfire prevention needs to start today!

I'm not starting it, a petition. I want to add my name to the thousands who have already sign it.

"I took a pledge not to accept contributions from people who benefited directly or indirectly from doing business with the General Land Office. I've sent thousand dollar checks back to avoid any perceived conflict of interest. For sure, most if not all the oil and gas contributors to Bush do business with the General Land Office for leases or pipeline ROW" I am Now Reissuing This Pledge Whereas the Texas Land Commissioner is the fiscal trustee for $29 billion in State assets, we the undersigned do petition the candidates for Texas Land Commissioner to agree to take the following ethics pledge: “I will not accept campaign contributions from any individual who has profited directly or indirectly from doing business with the General Land Office of Texas and ; I will return of any such campaign contributions that may have been unknowingly accepted once I am aware of the ethical conflict of accepting the contribution from individuals or PAC’s that have benefited directly or indirectly from doing business with the General Land Office of Texas.” -John Cook Democratic Nominee for Texas Land Commissioner

I am a survivor of institutional abuse at a facility in Utah. I have been outspoken against the facility that abused me for many years. That program filed a SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) suit against me and my family for speaking out against the hundreds of abuses witnessed, reported, and experienced at that facility. That suit is ongoing and has not been resolved. I live in Washington and was a Washington resident at the time of my enrollment at that facility in 1989. The majority of my 300+ witnesses do not live in Utah and have never lived in Utah. Many of us suffer PTSD as a result of our experiences in Utah and find the very idea of traveling to Utah for any reason abhorrent. Multiple witnesses submitted affidavits and sworn statements. I and many others were and are willing to testify in court via satellite. We are unable to afford multiple trips to Utah for 100s of witnesses and due to our special circumstances (having been harmed in Utah and being residents of other States), we deserve to be heard in court and for our special needs to be accommodated. Recently, victims who reported sexual abuse at a facility in Utah were emotionally traumatized by the very idea of returning to Utah to testify and the prosecutor chose not to go forward to trial because of this. It is imperative that victims of abuse and sexual assault who are residents of other States be given the opportunity to be heard in court via satellite when financial and/or any special circumstances prevent in-person testimony.

Saving auto shop means providing high school students with an opportunity to develop automotive skills that would be useful in their personal lives, professional lives or in the military. There are lots of lucrative opportunities that the automotive industry has to offer graduating high school seniors. The 2014-15 school year will be the last school year to offer Auto Shop.

I want every single human being to know how breast cancer affective is.
