Law officials are constantly breaking the law whether it be police or judges even DA's. I am starting this petition so that once it's law corrupt law officials get a chance to see how it feels to have consequences like the rest of the American public.

The quality of food science has never been better and some miraculous discoveries are being made. The best example I know to illustrate this point is are you aware of the science behind three day old broccoli sprouts? More than 1,000 peer-reviewed scientific papers have been published showing how eating only one ounce every three days powerfully prevent cancer by maximizing our body's own antioxidant levels and by suppressing many bad genes that lead to cancer as well as heart disease, alzheimer's and diabetes as well as awakening dormant genes such as tumor suppressor genes. They have also been shown to kill all types of cancer cells and cancer stem cells, repair damage to lungs caused by smoking, reverse damage to veins caused by diabetes, prevent macular degeneration, kill even antibiotic strains of Helicobacter pylori bacteria, prevent or slow the progression of osteoarthritis and much more. The quicker we change these regulations the better as thousands of Americans are currently dying and suffering needlessly. Personally, I am deeply moved to create this petition by the fact that my life has been saved from loads of health issues or premature death by eating broccoli sprouts. I have two very bad genes that have been suppressed. One of them MTHFR 677 T/T is referred to in medical school as the "Mother F***er Gene". My doctors marvel at my health given my genetic foundation. They attribute it to eating broccoli sprouts for 16 years and all of them eat broccoli sprouts as a result of my inspiring them to read up on the science. I am pained to see this science being suppressed by the FDA. As well as all the other food science I am not aware of because it's not on the packaging.

MoveOn is putting pressure on Republicans who are blocking millions of low-income Americans from accessing quality health care by refusing to expand Medicaid. But Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal can’t stand the heat and the state is threatening legal action to stop MoveOn’s campaign. Last week, Louisiana Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne publicly demanded MoveOn take down a billboard that criticized Jindal for preventing 242,000 low-income Louisianans from accessing Medicaid as part of the Obamacare Medicaid expansion. Just days later, state officials threatened legal action again MoveOn. Sign the petition: Tell Bobby Jindal to expand Medicaid and stop the frivolous lawsuit threats.

Since 50% of our population are females, and reputable studies show that better outcomes occur when there is more balanced decision-making within the leadership ranks, I support this new "5050 by 2020" (50% men & 50% women for gender-balance leadership by the year 2020) and encourage those who care to sign the free pledge at 5050x2020.org

On March 1 the New York Times ran a graphic accompanying its article on Venezuela that showed an “implied inflation rate” of more than 300 percent. This is a statistic that was manufactured by the Cato Institute. It is not a meaningful measure of inflation, and there are few economists who would accept it as such. (1) New York Times editors have refused to correct this error, despite being presented with explanations of why it is wrong. Inflation in Venezuela is currently running at 56 percent, which is high but is not hyperinflation. The Times, following Cato, is using a formula to calculate what inflation would be if people had to pay for all of their goods and services in dollars purchased on the black market. But as every Venezuelan consumer knows, this is not the case. For virtually all of the purchases that make up the basket of goods measured by the Consumer Price Index, Venezuelans use domestic currency. The Cato measure is measuring the change in the black market dollar exchange rate, which is not the same thing as inflation, even if the two variables may be related. The uselessness of this measure can be seen on the graph itself, where the “implied inflation rate” turns negative in 2008-09, at a time when actual inflation was running at 25-31 percent. The Times’ error violates standard economic reporting because it is standard to use official statistics, which come from government or international agencies such as the International Monetary Fund (which has not challenged or criticized Venezuela’s consumer price index). The only exceptions are when the official statistics are not considered by economists to be true, and there are reliable private estimates. An interested party should not be able to simply make up a new statistic for inflation, unemployment, poverty, etc. and expect that a reputable media outlet will report it along with the official statistic that is used by economists and international agencies. Urge the New York Times to correct the record by signing our petition. References: 1.

Victims of violent crimes can not afford to have victim services shut down for a minimum of 6 to 12 months. This bill will affect Domestic Violence Shelters, Sexual Assault Programs, Human Trafficking Programs, Child Advocacy Centers, District Attorneys' Victim Services (attorneys and advocates), Law Enforcement Domestic Violence Units, Mothers Against Drunk Drivers, The ARC (persons with disabilities), Child Abuse Programs and Survivors of Homicide Programs. In addition, this will also cause job loss and shelters to shut-down. This bill must be stopped to allow enough time for the community, service providers and survivors of violent crimes to become educated about this bill and exercise their voice to the Senate.

I am affected by this. I have several medical conditions that require lots of care, expensive drugs, and medical supplies. I don't know how I will manage without my husband's Social Security. My health insurance will double since I have the plan through his ex-employer.

Today, the South Dakota legislature passed an abortion ban that stigmatizes Asian American women. If Governor Daugaard signs it into law, South Dakota will become the 8th state with such a measure. Tell Governor Daugaard to veto the bill right now! We know this "sex selective abortion" ban is a wolf in sheep's clothing — a discriminatory attempt to undermine women's health masquerading as an equal rights measure. Proponents of the bill say that Asian immigrants, who they claim are bringing the problem of sex selective abortion to the United States, are the reason this needed to be passed. The people behind these laws consistently vote against our interests, and we won't be fooled into believing that this is about helping Asian American and Pacific Islander women and girls. We know this is about attacking women's personal decision-making. If they truly wanted to end sex selection, they would be addressing the root cause- gender inequity- instead of undermining women's health. Don’t let the South Dakota Legislature get away with this -- urge Governor Daugaard to veto the bill today!

On January 17, 2014 a former co-student of my daughter took her own life. Madison Holleran was a freshman at U Penn, and she was also an extremely talented runner on U Penn's track team. Her suicide left a void in the hearts of so many people across the state. This law would allow us to keep Madison's legacy alive, and help other young adults from choosing suicide as a way of escaping the pressures of college expectations.

Please show support with your signature! The Bottom LINE is that it is unjustified for Contract Services to remove dues-paying Local members from the Roster and force them to re-accrue hours as they did when they first joined. Currently, Contract Services seeks to remove any union member who hasn't had five union days during a 3 year period because, supposedly, they appear "no longer to be in the industry" and all Rosters from the Los Angeles combined I.A.T.S.E. Locals are creating "an unwieldy paperwork problem" for their offices. With this rationale, Contract Services is not taking into account individual circumstances (e.g. family issues, maternity leave, and health issues that are not considered disability) and is not serving the best interests of our members. They are also not taking into account that more and more jobs have moved out of California over the past five years. This kind of Roster set-up is archaic, outdated and discriminatory! We need the voices of the current union members to be heard, and job opportunities to be available to them, as well as the continued support and protection of our Locals. Contract Services should not be in charge of deciding the fate of our members. Please sign this petition.
