Jill Rappaport’s BOW TO WOW series on the NBC Today Show has had a 100% adoption rate and it has been brought to our attention that the NBC Today Show plans to cancel her segment. Over 5 ½ years Jill has saved millions of animals lives because of the visibility of this segment across the country. She has made going to a shelter to adopt fashionable when people wouldn't even look at a shelter pet. The awareness that she has brought to the animal and the shelter world has made great strides in helping to save millions of lives! Without this wonderful segment perfectly adoptable animals will be forgotten and euthanized. Don’t let NBC’s Today Show cancel her segment! Please sign this petition to show NBC, including the producer of the segment, Don Nash, how vital this segment is to its viewers and shelter animals alike!

I am heartbroken about the senseless deaths in Detroit and noone is doing anything. Because of this, relocated out of a city where I resided in for 40 years.

Children and adults alike are getting ill effects with products made in China. Also, products bought my husband at Home Depot (sprinkler parts) have broken, leaving him to go back to return the product.

We are starting this petition to put an end to this unnecessary government shutdown. Thousands were out of work and still looking for their pay. Even though the government is temporarily shutdown we are months away from a total government shutdown.

Wolves are just now beginning to recover in the United States and Secretary Jewell has made a politically-motivated decision to placate special interests in the ranching and sporting communities to strip gray wolves of vital protections. Without these safeguards, wolves will never recover in most of the United States.

Growing up in Germany, I have seen the benefits of a strong social safety network for a resilient economy (and that economy was helped by the US Marshall Plan - this is my thanks - let the same generosity be returned back home)

The Department of Justice is leading negotiations with JPMorganChase right now, specifically for selling the toxic mortgage backed securities they and other Wall Street criminals used to destroy our economy and steal our homes. The reported amount is a record-setting $13 billion. $4 billion is designated for relief to homeowners. While this settlement will only recoup a small part of the damage JPMorganChase and Wall Street caused, it is promising that this time, according to news reports, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder refused to negotiate away the right to criminal prosecutions. JPMorganChase is finally negotiating around its misdeeds that helped crash the housing market and world economy. Now it is time for them to stop foreclosures and instead work with people whose lives are still reeling from the crash: Jaymie Kelly of Minneapolis has paid for her house five times over but has been left underwater after being duped into a predatory Chase loan. Chetti McAffee of Seattle fell behind on her home loan only after Chase bank told her she had to in order to apply for a modification. Ana Ramos in San Francisco was left deeply underwater after Chase and its subsidiary Washington Mutual continually “lost” her paperwork and refused her payments. One of the reasons that Chase is facing this record penalty in the first place is because of work by the Home Defenders League and others to push the Obama Adminstration to stand up for struggling homeowners and foreclosure victims. In March, when Attorney General Holder testified before Congress that Wall Street banks couldn’t be prosecuted because of their outsized wealth, people like you joined with 333,000 others from Action for the Common Good, CREDO, MoveOn, Campaign for America’s Future, and the Courage Campaign to demand the Obama Administration end “Too Big to Jail”. Some of you helped deliver those petitions to US Attorneys in cities across the country. And you stood with 500 home defenders from around the country who risked arrest at the Department of Justice in order to demand accountability for Wall Street criminals in May. That action ended with 28 arrests and non-violent protestors tazed, while seven more were arrested at the high-end Wall Street law firm Covington and Burling protesting the revolving door between the DOJ and Wall Street. Then just two weeks ago over 500 of you called AG Holder’s office demanding a strong deal with Chase. You and people like you are true warriors for justice. That kind of action is why this settlement isn’t really a “relief” unless it helps people like Jaymie, Chetie and Ana. They are all able and willing to pay on a fair mortgage that reflected the current market value of their homes. Really, it’s the least Chase Bank can do. Tell Chase CEO Jamie Dimon: It’s time to fix what you broke. Halt foreclosures in the wake of negotiating this settlement. Then give a fair mortgage modification - no more run around - to restore home equity for underwater homeowners across the country.

Eleven million undocumented Americans and their family members are waiting while John Boehner and the Tea Party Caucus play politics with their futures. H.R. 15 enjoys bi-partisan support in Congress with endorsers on both sides of the aisle. We believe that, if introduced on a discharge petition, H.R. 15 will pass the House. Representative Alan Grayson, we are counting on you to introduce H.R. 15 for discharge to the House of Representatives.

As a fan of underground rap I have found that the government limits these artists from expressing themselves fully on regards to government issues. These artists are unable to say what they want and express their opinions because the government limits a right that we are all granted: freedom of speech. Everyone should be able to say what they want without being limited.

It is difficult to sleep at night knowing our very lives and the lives of our children are in TEPCO's hands. We demand that our government protect us now. Call Pres. Obama at the White House (202) 456-1111 and send a personal email to Sec. of Energy Moniz: [email protected] TELL THEM TO TAKE OVER THE FUEL REMOVAL and to CONTAIN FUKUSHIMA WITHOUT DUMPING RADIOACTIVE WATER INTO THE GLOBAL PACIFIC. We should not have to beg for this. Write a letter to the editor of your newspaper too!

Veterans Courts assist veterans charged with non-violent crimes who are struggling with addiction, mental illness, or other illness and come in contact with the criminal justice system. Veterans need help, not jail. The Veterans Court for Lake County, IN has been denied because of funding. Let's find another way. By signing the petition you are supporting legislation to fund Veterans Court in Lake County, IN without reducing other social services in the county.

Pesticides pose serious health risks to children, to the Chesapeake Bay and local waterways and to honeybees. Maryland researchers need basic information about when and where pesticides are being used so they can investigate any potential links to intersex fish, beehive deaths and clusters of serious illnesses like cancer, autism, asthma and birth defects. Contact Governor O’Malley today and ask him to strongly support this much-needed mandatory pesticide reporting database. Tell the Governor that for our health, for the health of our kids, for clean waters, and for our honeybees we need basic information on pesticide use.
