The economy will be directly affected by the government's failure to act. Millions of people will be losing their homes, and applying for welfare and food stamps just to survive. You call this a solution? We are in this situation and it is a living hell.

Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens: Parent(s) - Parents of U.S. citizens are eligible to apply for permanent resident status as immediate relatives, but only if the citizen is 21 years of age or older. Individuals from all parts of the globe decided to leave their countries of origin because of different reasons related to: corrupt governments; difficulty sustaining families in decent basic conditions; education and health; insecurity and violence and many other reasons we would need much more lines to describe them here. Many people see America as the land of opportunity. Whether this is true or not, it becomes a matter of personal experience. For many, the move to America may be the best thing they ever did, and these are the people who built families in USA, working hard, seeking a better life for their children to give them a decent future and opportunities. For many years these same people are living in the shadows, cornered and scared the ghost of illegality. Now it is time to give them the opportunity to become legal residents and allow them to continue contributing to the country by the sweat of their hard work and support growth of their children and contribute to the future of America, forming citizens.

The recent State Department environmental impact statement for the proposed Keystone XL pipeline was widely interpreted as signaling a greater likelihood that the pipeline would be approved by the Obama administration later this year. The proposed pipeline would facilitate the mass extraction and use of oil from Canada's tar sands, harming the climate much more than the same amount of conventional oil. As development economist Jeffrey Sachs has noted [1], if we don’t keep some of the world's oil, gas, and coal reserves under the ground, we’re going to wreck the planet. The State Department’s environmental review didn’t even consider how helping to exploit Canada’s tar sands could fit inside a plan for limiting the extraction and use of fossil fuels to a level that doesn’t cause catastrophic climate change. [2] It just assumed that the Canadian tar sands are going to be fully exploited no matter what. We have a key strategic opportunity now to turn this around. Because it is widely assumed that Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic nominee for President in 2016, if she comes out against approval of the Keystone XL pipeline now, it will galvanize opposition to the pipeline among Democrats, and make it much less likely that President Obama will approve it. Urge Hillary to join Jeff Sachs in lobbying President Obama to reject the Keystone XL pipeline by signing our petition. References: 1.

Judy Cox, a mother in Utah, walked with her teenage son past a PacSun store in the mall that displayed in the front window T-shirts with near naked young women in hypersexualized poses. When the manager wouldn't remove them, Judy bought out the entire stock. I support that action, but Judy shouldn't have to pay $600 to keep pornography out of the mall. PacSun has signed on to a social responsibility statement that says they don't support human rights violations or practice gender discrimination. But marketing products at teenaged boys that portray young women as primarily sexual playthings contributes to an unsafe environment for women and a climate of discrimination.

I'm starting this petition as a way to hopefully help the Pelletier family. This injustices that have been done on this girl and the family is unfathomable and outright criminal. This is AMERICA! NO ONE has a right to hold someone from their family as this hospital has done. Please sign this and show the Governer, Deval Patrick, that he needs to step up and do something before this girl dies.

I live in AZ and I can't believe this could actually happen in 2014. It is frightening to think of the consequences. This not only effects gays but anyone who a business owner finds does not "meet" their religious standards. A Mormon family, a Muslim, an Orthodox Jew.....We are all now at risk of this twisted discrimination under the guise of "religious freedom".

My friend of over a year, who I would trust with my life, was tragically hacked by a malicious attack. After a password recovery process he logged in to notice his gaming gear and credits were gone. After asking SWTOR customer service if something could be done they instead banned his account for being part of what they called "real world trading." This was a error on their part, and the community needs to support him in getting his account returned. I, Evan Mendenhall aka BladeBoques will not yield until they realize their arbitrary ruling was a mistake and make it right.

I am 62 years old , I did not serve in the military, in fact I actively worked against the Vietnam War, and especially the draft. Unfortunately many of my generation conflated hatred of the war with hatred of the men & women who served. This injustice needs to finally be officially ended, especially at a time when many of these vets are struggling to live a life of dignity

The Cannabis Plant should be legalized immediately based on racial discrimination. And in reparation for the pain and suffering caused since its prohibition, the multi billion dollar industry should be built in Milwaukee.

The coal ash spill along the Dan River is a tragedy that is still getting worse. Almost three weeks after the spill started, contaminated groundwater continues to leak into the river. This is yet another example of the problems with fossil fuels. Gov. McCrory should clean up all these toxic waste sites immediately, and move the state of North Carolina towards a clean energy future, using sources like wind and solar that don't pollute our environment.

UUK - condemn the discriminatory surveillance of non-EU students in British universities, and act to stop UK universities acting as UK border guards.

In 2011 I started the documentary These Storied Streets, which profiles Americas homeless across the country. I had no idea how violent, how often and scary it could be to be living on the streets. Often, just for fun, the homeless is targeted and beaten. Films like Bum Fights and Bum Hunter have lead to strings of violence against this vulnerable and unprotected people. This needs to change. Violence because of a economic condition is no different than violence associated with race or religion.
