Justice for MajorOn September 12, 2013 my family dog, Major, was removed from his home by the animal control officer for biting an individual. The individual was a contract worker that was working on cutting down a neighbors tree. The individual was advised by my father, the neighbor and his supervisor not to reach over the 5 foot chain link fence to pet Major. The current dog ordinance states that upon release from quarantine by appropriate authorities, should the owner desire to retain the dog the owner shall pay all quarantine costs. The dog shall not return to the city limits of Flatwoods, KY. This ordinance is unjust in that it punishes dogs that are protecting their owners. The way that section 11 of the dog ordinance is worded would allow for a dog to be removed from the home if the dog was protecting the home owner from an unwanted assault by biting the assaulter. This is simply wrong. Major did not have any complaints against him for running loose, biting or being a nuisance. The dog was simply protecting his property and his owners.295 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Angela Mullannix

BAN GMO Monsanto CorpMonsanto Corp. is using GMO engineering in foods and other natural life forms that is polluting the planet and poisoning the people and animals, etc. People are getting sick, and dying. Studies have shown it even causes cancer. (even though Monsanto tries to say otherwise). This of itself is reason enough to ban their products. It is also having an adverse effect on the economy, as the more people get sick, the higher medical costs rise, the less people are able to work, making it necessary for more people to be on Government handouts. It has a snowball effect that will continue to get worse. I personally have been effected by GMO foods. When I eat them it causes me to bleed in my small intestine, and makes me anemic, and causes me to have severe bloating and abdominal pain, whereas, when I eat organic, The bleeding stops along with the other symptoms. I can't help but wonder how many other people are suffering from this, and don't even know it. Please think of your children and grandchildren and the American people and BAN Monsanto from using GMO products altogether. Thank you1,335 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Valerie

Justice for Boujemaa RazguiceInstead of apologizing and rectifying the situation, the Government is circling the wagons and stonewalling. This man needs to be compensated for the economic repercussions of this disasterous and ridiculous decision immediately. The Government has deprived him of his livelihood. We cannot allow such injustice to thrive.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Justice for Boujemaa Razguice

Mike Lee: Don't Blow Up U.S. Diplomacy with IranThe American Israel Public Affairs Committee says on its web site that Utah Senator Mike Lee has pledged to support the Iran sanctions bill introduced by Robert Menendez. But Senator Lee has not co-sponsored the bill yet. U.S. intelligence agencies say that new sanctions now will blow up U.S. diplomacy with Iran, putting us on a path to war. Urge Senator Lee to oppose the Menendez bill and to oppose efforts to blow up U.S. diplomacy with Iran.3,864 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Robert Naiman

Legalize Marijuana in the state of KyI believe Legalizing marijuana in Ky will minimize alot of the issue that the state of Ky is facing. Lower Ky jail and prison population. The are alot of inmates incarcerated on the account of marijuana, if marijuana was legalized i believe it would decrease a lot of the violence that accures in the state of Ky and Ky would actually benefit off the profit of marijuana being legal.213 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Jasmine Willis

Congress Must Extend Unemployment BenefitsA six-month extension is expected to pass the Senate this week, but the Republicans in the House of Representatives are refusing to even allow a vote! When these benefits are cut off, the long-term unemployed have no money to pay rent, electricity, transportation, or many of the other necessary expenses of living and looking for work. That means they will be homeless, along with their spouses, and their children will have to go into foster care, or they will have to move in with relatives. For every person who is cut off, there are many more who are affected. How does this make any sense?? Sign this petition and tell Congress to WAKE UP and help Americans instead of corporations for a change!1,178 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Laura Rubalcaba

Glee goes KPoPI would like to see the artists and actors of KPoP that so many of us Americans enjoy be shared with others on a scale as large as Glee. I can't think of any other venue more fitting to highlight KPOP. I have so much respect for the dancer, singer, and actor Rain because of what he has done for KPOP. I must see him and other kpop groups acknowledged in America.31 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Carla F. Butler

PETITION TO INDICT CORRUPT LUZERNE COUNTY OFFICIALSFacts Which Support Grand Jury Indictment On April 29, 2010, members of Dallas 6 covered their cell windows and doors with bedding in order to protect themselves from impending physical harm because officers were beating prisoners who submitted information to an outside abuse report. Defendants, Dallas guards acted to assist one another in viciously beating the Dallas 6 on video tape and acted to cover up these assaults by creating false official reports to conceal the abuse. On or shortly after 4-29-2010, members of Dallas 6 received misconducts for refusing to obey an order. Dallas 6 by and thru the Human Rights Coalition in May of 2010 filed a criminal complaint against the Dallas guards in relation to the events. On June 14th, 2010 a member of the Dallas 6 filed a civil action against Luzerne County District Attorney and Dallas prison officials for turning a blind eye to assaults and refusing to investigate criminal violations committed by guards in solitary confinement. Dallas prison lawsuit was printed in “Wilkes-Barre Times Leader” newspaper on June 17, 2010. On June 19th, 2010, the District Attorney’s office sent SCI Dallas a letter to investigate the assault claims of the lawsuit against Dallas and Luzerne prosecutors. June 2010, Dallas prison appointed Lieutenant John Martin to investigate claims within the lawsuit, and in the process of Martin being appointed to investigate the lawsuit, Lieutenant Martin sent reports of April 29th, 2010 to state trooper C.J. Wilson and in turn fabricated riot charges. State police and the district attorney waited until Judge Wetzel denied injunction on civil action in July 2010 and immediately fabricated “riot” and “aggravated harassment” charges. In April 2010 there was no mention of a riot at Dallas prison in any of the prison reports, however after civil and criminal complaints were filed against them they retaliated and changed the incident into a “riot.” Lieutenant John Martin knew there was no riot, so he waited until a lawsuit and criminal complaint was filed against Dallas and sent reports to state police and the district attorney. In early August of 2010, the Human Rights Coalition released a report about the incident, describing a protest and bloody assaults by guards. On August 2nd, 2010 Human Rights Coalition attended a House Judiciary Committee hearing on solitary confinement and mentioned the reports of cruel treatment at Dallas prison involving the Dallas 6. On August 18th, 2010, Judge Tupper sent Dallas 6 riot charges by registered mail. The Dallas 6 were not read their Miranda rights and furthermore the complaints did not mention who was allegedly “assaulted” or “harassed” in this incident, even though one of the Dallas 6 was charged with assaulting six officers whose names are not mentioned in the complaint or affidavit of probable cause. Without being arraigned or given minimum disclosure of the witnesses or victims in this case, the Dallas 6 were taken to two separate preliminary hearings and denied the right to call “witnesses” on their behalf (September and November 2010). The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania had 180 days to bring each defendant to trial. The Commonwealth claims to have initiated these charges in July 2010. This would mean the Commonwealth had until January 2011 to bring each defendant to trial, at the very latest February 2011. President Judge Thomas F. Burke has been notified of all violations mentioned herein and has not acted to correct these violations of law. As President Judge, per PA Rules of Criminal Procedure Rule 116, Judge Burke has the authority and the duty to bring his judicial district officers in compliance with the law. It is a legal maxim that he who condones a bad act conditions it. Here we are nearly 4 years later and the court, DOC and state police are still pressing on with a case illegally and without regard to the law or proper criminal procedures. Even though the Kid for Cash Scandal has come to an end, the corruption in Luzerne County remains. The defendants are acting above the law and should be properly reprimanded. Luzerne county courts, the state police and the DOC should be on trial, not the Dallas 6.

End The Prefunding Of Retiree Benefits In USPSThe financial crisis in the postal service is a manufactured crisis by Congress and the media. There is much misinformation about the financial condition of the Postal Service,but Congress continues to use postal service revenues to reduce the deficit even though the money is not from tax dollars.The biggest drain is the unique and burdensome requirement by Congress to prefund retiree health benefits 75 years in the future and to do this in a 10 year period. The Postal Service needs to be taken off budget and prefunding stopped.18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Donald Walsh
