  • Use of "La ilaha illa lah" before suicide in DC's "Arrow" is insulting and offensive
    On Wednesday 2/5/14's airing of Arrow, a member of the League of Assassins utters the saying "La ilaha illa lah", Arabic for "there is no God but God", just before killing himself, so that the heroic lead character Oliver Queen and his love interest, Black Canary can get any information from him. This phrase represents one of the greatest oaths any Muslim, a believer of Islam, can make in being a Muslim, and is known as the declaration of faith. In a studio realm that seemingly has a lust for demonizing Islam, I ask that you sign this petition demanding that the creators of this DC Comics/CW Studios title issue a statement of apology for including this erroneous and insulting part of the Episode's script.

  • Stop Sea World Field Trip-Colonel Santos Benavides Elementary
    My goal is for my school to stop supporting Sea World by planning field trips there. Just like us, animals deserve freedom! Killer whales have emotions, I only went to Sea World once, but now I regret it. Now, I am educated on Sea World's animal cruelty. Sea World treats the whales horribly.

  • Give Brian Pigott a Wake Forest Faculty Position!!!
    When we are affected by a special teacher, we need to make sure they have the opportunity to continue to leave a mark on students to come. A teacher such as Brian Pigott is rare and we should do all we can to keep him here at Wake Forest University. We want the very best at our institution. We should not let the time constraints of a Post-Doctoral Fellowship inhibit a chance to keep one of the very best Professors to ever come through Wake. Please pledge your signature in hopes of persuading our administration to offer Dr. Pigott a continued position here at WFU. Thank you for all your support.

  • Dare to Care USA
    Awareness and Prevention of this increasing issue that requires imminent action equal the serious urgency of the children in desperate need of protection and deep concern regarding their safety in the home. Children's advocacy is not biological obligation but an adult, parental and moral responsibility that requires communal support and involvement.

  • Rhode Islanders Wont be Lied To Any Longer
    Rhode Islanders have been lied to for votes long enough and is the cause of our crumbling state. Gina Raimondo has shown that she will make decisions that benefit her alone and not the Unions, the Immigrants needing real help and the tax payers of Rhode Island.

  • The Voters of Wisconsin want Equal Marriage Rights!
    The Declaration of Independence states: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights." It is every taxpaying citizen's right to be recognized by the government as equal. Anything else is discrimination, and creates a lesser class of citizenship. Therefore, the fight for marriage equality in Wisconsin is such a given, as currently our gay citizens are clearly being discriminated against. With all of this knowledge, it is shocking to me that our Governor recently stated that there is "no significant movement" to obtain equal marriage rights in Wisconsin. It's time to show Gov. Walker that he is wrong, Wisconsians DO support marriage equality and our movement is growing! Please join me in telling Scott Walker and Wisconsin, that we are all equal, and deserve equal rights and protections from the government!

  • Diabetics Denied Life Changing Device
    I have diabetes, and have lost consciousness, and thought to be drunk because my blood sugars have gone very high or low. I am not able to obtain a Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS) because medicare considers it "experimental" even though it has been proven to help diabetics. H.R.3710 [Rep. Shea-Porter, Carol [D-NH-1] (Introduced 12/11/2013)]- Medicare CGM Coverage Act - Amends title XVIII (Medicare) of the Social Security Act (SSA) to cover continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMS) (including a transmitter, receiver, sensors, and test strips required for use) as durable medical equipment (DME). A Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS) is vitally important to many diabetics. This device continuously monitors blood sugars, and alerts when blood sugars start to go dangerously low or high. A CGMS uses a disposable sensor that is placed under the skin every three to seven days and sends a signal to a remote receiver. The receiver provides an estimated blood glucose (sugar) level every five minutes. This allows you to track whether blood glucose is moving up or down (and how fast). The receiver can sound an alarm if the level is too high or too low, or if it is rising or falling too rapidly, so you can take action to correct it. It allows you to detect patterns of highs and lows, so that treatments and habits can be modified to safely improve control. Keeping blood sugars as normal as possible reduces the chances of complications in diabetics, and can reduce the number of Emergency Room visits, and reduce the time required by Medics and Police Officers to tend to "Drunken" calls and passed out diabetics. The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) published a study October 2, 2008, [http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa0805017] proving CGMS can be associated with improved blood sugar control in adults with type 1 diabetes. Even with this, and other studies, medicare still considers the CGMS "experimental". There are some medicare advantage plans that cover CGMS, but these plans are regional, and not available to all patients that need a CGMS. CGMS is now a covered benefit for 70 to 80 percent of Americans who have commercial insurance. This petition will save lives, and offer a better life for diabetics.
