International Peace Treaty ending Soldier Warfare[Need for recipient's emails; governments, militias and law enforcement agencies worldwide] Definitions ‘true hate’- No Acceptable Circumstances. Military Action – The act of legislating or ordering troops to be put on ground in combat or law enforcement. Consensus – Decision making by agreement or wide majorities. Nuclear Weapons – Weapons deriving their energy from nuclear fission or fusion Chemical Weapons – Weapons deriving their energy from; or combusting upon its victims, chemical explosives or agents. Classified Weapons – Weapons classified by this treaty. Military Rule – Government rule by public or private militaries; or dictatorships with totalitarian rule. Democratic Constitutional Conventions – A communally delegated convention to build a public constitution; and federal and federate governments. Petition for Ending War and Creating a Peace Treaty Internationally. Under what circumstance should there be any war legislated by a powerful regime? Innocent soldiers should not have to spend their lives just because an elected leader legislated for it. People have been killing eachother for centuries and blowing eachother up for decades, so must we continue on until military equipment is so advanced that millions of lives can end by one button push? Oh shit.. that can already happen, so it is only a matter of time until some monocratic dictator somewhere in the world gets mad and decides to try to rage nuclear war. Since wars are usually started over problems made by people in power, the powerful should have to solve it themselves rather than send thousands of other people to get killed over various political issues. We would hope that governments would have learned better from the US’ experience of nuking other countries, hopefully. If not, such a travesty will happen again eventually. If measures are taken to build peace around the world, namely this treaty being put to action to end warfare, human progress has been made and we are evolving. The general argument against a world peace movement is “it will never happen, so just accept it because it is human nature and people are violent.” With that ideology nothing good will ever happen for anybody accept those who are violent so should we conserve such nonsense from the past? It literally makes no sense not to publish, sign this petition and require lawmakers to sign this as a treaty or revise it under a wide consensus. People have been saying “that will never happen so just accept it the way it is” for basically every social movement. Do you think the American Revolution was such an easy and given thing? The Military of Great Britain at the time was the most powerful, so the common thought was likely that no one could ever secede from that kind of ridiculous power as the movement was coming to fruition. There are many other possible ways for these politicians to solve problems with other country’s politicians rather than letting thousands of people; who don’t deserve to die, die from both sides in the name of serving their country. The only time a country’s military should be used is in an act of defense; if their country is being invaded or to fight domestic tyranny. If this petition becomes law, countries can no longer declare soldier warfare and leaders who try to, or suggest legislating soldier warfare, shall be punished and/or fight their own battles. It should be one’s freedom to choose if they would like to serve their country with their life because it is their life; not the governments, and they can serve their country in their own way. When a person serves their country with their life, they are only dying. No one is gaining anything from the deaths of soldiers accept maybe the powerful in the modern day. We are told warfare and large military complex’s keeps our country secure, but not many countries are a true security threat anyway, so why continue to die in the name of corrupt governments? Do we want humanity to remain a violent species forever? But of course.. there are extremist groups who still may not agree to a peace treaty, and if not, will the world ever see peace?5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bobby Gonzales

Override Gov. LePage's Veto of the Maine Foods BillLast week, Gov. Paul LePage inexplicably vetoed the Maine Foods Bill, which would help enable Maine farms to feed more of us—a real no-brainer, given that Maine imports more of its food than any other state in the continental U.S, and the huge benefits of eating locally to our environment, health, and local economy. LD 1431 would jumpstart the development of food hubs—a key part of the infrastructure needed to bring Maine’s local foods movement to scale. Food hubs enable small farmers to team up and pool their produce and other products so together they have enough volume to reach larger markets, such as grocery stores, schools, and hospitals. While the Maine Foods Bill passed by veto-proof marjorities, Republicans have been very reluctant to vote against the governor. That's why we need your help today to convince lawmakers that increasing Maine-grown food in our schools and homes is so broadly supported and so common sense that they need to stick to their guns. We can override his veto on May 1st, but we need your help! Sign our petition today.2,450 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Taryn Hallweaver

Ben and Jerry's: Make a carrageenan-free ice cream flavorI love Ben and Jerrys but, I don't like carrageenan. So please make an ice cream flavor without carrageenan. Carrageenan is a product derived from certain types of red algae, a seaweed. It is still an ongoing debate on whether or not it is harmful. It is thought that carrageenan is a cause of a range of cancers (especially gastrointestinal ones) and other illnesses like Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Even if it is safe there should still be a choice for those who refuse to eat it. So who better to take on that challenge than Ben and Jerry's?116 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Traci Newcomb

Driving Privilege Cards for New Jersey ImmigrantsApoyen esta legislación en el estado de Nueva Jersey que le otorgaría a los inmigrantes un permiso de manejar sin importar el estatus migratorio. Animen a sus familiares, amistades y compañeros de trabajo que se unan a este esfuerzo para que se convierta en una ley pronto en NJ. Many families fall victim to an unjust system when they are stopped in a car without the proper documentations. Some have actually been deported merely for being passengers in a car simply because of the absence of a US government ID such as a driving license or, as proposed by these bills, a Driving Privilege Card. Therefore, it is important to provide a NJ Driving Privilege Card to these families in the interim, while a Comprehensive Immigration Reform is approved at a federal level.109 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Eliud Gautier

4/28/14 FEMA DEADLINE - SANDYResidents best interest have to be protected. -----Original Message----- Thank you* I run a grassroots' effort to help resident, and provide some hope. Residents were traumatized by Sandy, information was slow in coming. So many were displaced, hard to get information to them all. People couldn't get to their homes for weeks and then only by Police Escort. Many effected retired and or elderly. Now, 18 months later, the residents are getting a feel for what they have to do. To protect their best interests, fix/rebuild their homes and move forward. Many settled claims. ALL "assumed" they got paid fairly. Yet, I have been following public adjusters, who are getting homeowners, already told they were paid fairly, more money. One homeowner wasn't paid for 3 rooms left out of their claim. These homeowners need time and are just finding the resources', to help themselves. The State, FEMA could have been much better at getting information out and should be willing to side on the resident's (taxpayers)favor! 90 days minimum would be a HUGE help!

Congress should pass the "Robin Hood Tax"We need to raise revenue (rather than cut vital services) and make the federal tax system more progressive. Ordinary citizens pay sales taxes on the goods they buy, but stock transactions aren't taxed. Michael Lewis has pointed to the dangers in high-frequency trading that is distorting-- and perhaps undermining the stock market. A tax would be a far more effective way to deter HFT than regulation.61 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mary von Euler

Remove " Gay Hate-Mail" PrincipalWhy is the City willing to pay taxpayer dollars to settle a case of serious homophobic slander, and not hold the administrator responsible? He wrote that my partner and I used our pets as" lures" to seduce and infect the local boys with AIDS, so I (Michael) should be ousted from my apartment, and my foreign-born partner (Andre) deported. These malicious letters to my co-op management were copied to ICE, FBI, Precinct 36, IRS, and Homeland Security. The emotional terror this action inflicted upon us is difficult to describe. There are two forensics reports which tie Smolkin to the letters, (one in the office of the Manhattan DA), but the City refuses to act to remove Principal Smolkin.235 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Michael McPherrin

FCC: Don't let “pay to play” break the InternetFCC Chairman Tom Wheeler is about to sell off more control of the Internet to big corporations like Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon — the same corporations who have a near monopoly over our digital lives and businesses. Americans already pay way too much for way too slow internet service. In many rural and suburban areas, internet access looks the same as it did in the '90s, while profits for these giant companies have never been higher. Now Chairman Wheeler wants to allow big internet providers to charge websites for faster content delivery, setting up a pay to play fast lane. We don’t allow pay to play anywhere else in society — the Internet, the backbone of our current and future economy is no place to start. This means content providers like Netflix will have to pay ransom to internet providers to make their videos available at the fastest speeds. Meanwhile, content from other innovative websites and small businesses who can’t afford to pay will be drowned out. All of us — the Internet consumers — will lose. Sign on now to stand up for real net neutrality and protect the free and open Internet while we still can.
