This petition calls upon us to stand up NOW for creating a generative community....for True Democracy...for the plight of everything vital already swirling into a certain collapse. It is no longer enough to keep on writing smart and talking smart among all the good camps looking for balance in the biosphere. We need action and we need it now. World [American] leadership only concerns itself with money and power in the usual forms to gain control of the resources. How much resource do we have? Where is World Planning? Balanced population? It is time to finally ASK EVERYONE now...empower every individual to offer each their meaningful say toward resolution for the serious issues: 1. World Belief is a relic that determines all outcomes. 2. World population 3. World water depletion and grabbing 4. World food system a sham of profiteering - accelerating decline 5. World Atmosphere catastrophe 6. World energy crisis 7. World eco-systems decline-degradation 8. World education failure: to evolve; to teach principles of generative creativity; to be provided to everyone; to create life themes based on self paced exploration into natural abilities; to be creative NOT productive 9. World health care crisis; sham of profiteering by money grabbers; failure to provide health care to everyone 10. World TRUE DEMOCRACY FAILURE; oppression by religious thugs and power-mad rulers; women decreed as "lesser" being are oppressed, kicked, cajoled and beaten down; MEN suffer the continual urge-to-power....singly responsible for all decadence. 11. but wait...there's more :: www.saveoursorryass.com

It is obvious that the Nuclear Power industry is insolvent. The upcoming Waste Confidence ruling, Senate bill S1240 funneling escrow waste money back to the nuclear industry through the new "Nuclear Waste Administration", and the upcoming ruling on Foreign Ownership of our Nuclear Reactors are strong indication that we need citizen activist participation on the commission and a FULL accounting of this heavily citizen subsidized industry.

Isn't it unnecessary to destroy a mature fir tree every year for the holidays at Rockefeller Center? Shouldn't the city transplant a permanent fir tree and leave it there? That way the city's tree would always be taller than the previous year and no more wonderful mature trees would have to die! It would be the perfect symbolic act given the Mayor's Million trees NYC initiative.

To end poverty and dramatically improve the lives of Americans.

It's the right thing to do to finally separate church from state as in our Constitution. Immediately stop this graft and greed now and theft from our U . S. coffers.

My name is William Sowder. I've always dreamed of being a guitar player in a band. I've also always dreamed of living in a country of equal opportunity, and expression. Today, myself and my band are facing a legal quagmire, as American International Group, an insurance giant that was bailed out by the American taxpayer, has deemed our band name unacceptable. According to wikipedia, American International Group had a market capitalization of $57.3 billion, with a capital B! If you believe in progressive political change, please, help me tell the government that we can't let megacorporations run rough-shod over our voices, our dignity, and our freedom of expression!

Given the GOP's intransigence and refusal to act on immigration reform, unless President Obama exercises his executive authority to protect and begin a legalization process, the 11 million undocumented immigrants will continue to face family separation and massive deportations that already exceed 2 million under his 5-year administration, notwithstanding that they contribute significantly to the U.S. economy, tax-base and the workforce.

Fracking kills. It poisons our water and creates vast regions of desolation from man-made earthquakes. It is financed by corporations that wield a dangerous amount of influence and control over our lawmakers. These corporations care nothing for the welfare of their workers or for the people who live in communities devastated by fracking. We reject their power and we reject all forms of fracking!

I am personally affected by this issue because it's a constant source of texts, gchats, screenshot-sends, snapchats, tweets and general points of conversation. It is crucial to womankind to have this faux-lationship end and the madness stop. Please sign and help my friend, your friend, all women everywhere to move on past 'taken but miserable' men. Thanks!

The canyon communities have been fighting to preserve the historic 320-acre Holtz Ranch in Silverado Canyon for over 30 years. St. Michael's Abbey proposes to develop a Monastery/Church/Sanctuary, Convent, Private Boarding School/Dormitories, Gymnasium/Athletic Facilities, Guest Cottages, Chapel/Cemetery, Agricultural Maintenance Buildings, and accessory gift shop, which threaten the Silverado-Modjeska Specific Plan, critical habitat for the endangered arroyo toad, cactus wren and meadowlark habitat, Native American archaeological sites, historic orchard, historic agricultural buildings, dark sky, road safety, air quality, and the overall quality of life for canyon residents. Measure M funds were almost used to acquire this property as permanent open space because OCTA recognized Holtz Ranch as a top tier property for its natural and cultural resource mitigation value. Now the county has reversed its opinion as a favor to St. Michael's Abbey, an exempt religious institution. The county has an opportunity to preserve the historic 320-acre Holtz Ranch as a natural and cultural landmark for the benefit of everyone.

The US Congress is responsible for the continuous growth in the size and number of US government agencies through laws and bills. This growth increases the debt responding to special interests and not the real needs of the people. The longer a representative is in office the easier they are influenced by special interests and the money flows to the most greedy of these.

Just a few months ago, the UFW found its registered trademark black eagle logo being printed and sold by Urban Outfitters without permission on t-shirts for a whopping $65! The Latino community was in an uproar over this exploitation of our culturally rich and historic mark. Thanks to this outspoken support, Urban Outfitters contacted the UFW within hours of receiving a letter from our attorneys. Since then the UFW has been in good faith discussions with Urban Outfitters for reparations and future insurance against such violations. Cesar Chavez’ brother Richard designed the UFW Black Eagle so that union members could easily draw it on handmade red flags. Cesar said: “A symbol is an important thing. That is why we chose an Aztec eagle. It gives pride...When people see it they know it means dignity.” Ralph Lauren’s expropriation of the UFW’s Black Eagle dishonors the trademark and those who have fought and died for the integrity it represents. It falsely implies the UFW may have endorsed Ralph Lauren clothing, damaging the UFW’s extensive good will. Send Ralph Lauren a strong message that you will not stand for this. Send an e-mail to Ralph Lauren demanding Ralph Lauren respect the Latino community and UFW by immediately pulling all infringing products from its shelves. Tell Ralph Lauren that their misappropriation of the UFW's trademark logo that represents pride and dignity for our community will not be tolerated.
