President Barack Obama: The people of Coastal Georgia call on you to join us in protecting the North American Right Whale from extinction at the hands of the U.S. Navy, currently building a submarine warfare training range in the nursery of the most critically endangered of the large whales. Sonar from surface ships and Seahawk helicopters, underwater explosives, and phosphorus canisters used in routine training exercises constitute an almost casual killing of our fellow creatures who have been here 50 million years. The massive whale and dolphin kills predicted by the Navy itself---thousands dead and five million deafened---all are as unnecessary as they are cruel. This inhumane slaughter must stop. In your own words, Mr. President, we are better than that. Besides, only by using modern satellite technology, smart buoys, underwater drones, satellites, and simulation techniques to train personnel can we can maintain our place as the best Navy in the world. Twenty-year-old sonar technology is useless against newer, smaller subs coated with sonar-repelling paint. By converting to modern technology, we can reduce the toll on marine life without compromising national security. Mr. President, we beg you to use your powers as Commander in Chief to stop the certain extinction of the North Atlantic Right Whale.

Every citizen of the United States has been affected by the crisis precipitated by this vain and reckless demagogue.

I am starting this because we can not vote these people out and we can't fire them. They are imposed on us by the State.

I am one of many parents who struggle to provide their children with the best education possible. When there is an attempt to cancel a positive program like the Academy, which was created to further our children's education, we as parents need to stand up and say NO! Our children's education should be our top priority, and any attempt to cut positive steps toward meeting that goal should be stopped.

Lowe's fired a grandmother after 18 years of dedicated employment for helping catch a shoplifter she witnessed stealing a $600 tool kit. Since corporate companies have turned their backs on their courageous employees, lets turn our backs on them and support this hero!

I'm Haitian-American and have family living in the Dominican Republic who are affected by this ruling. We want the world to know how unjust this is.

Boehner is keeping people out of work while he tries to salvage the situation for his Tea Party colleagues. This needs to stop. No more conditions. No more concessions. No more stalling while Republicans look for a way to declare victory.

We feel that Senator Ted Cruz needs to be recalled due to being the main ingredient of this Government Shutdown and Cruz is not representing us has Citizens of the State of Texas. Senator Cruz is representing a factious group in which does not speak for us

Racial Unity USA along with other community organizations, individuals and Tomayo McDuff's family are seeking relief from this questionable even bizarre accusation and the resulting charges. And to break the pipeline from grade school to prison.

The people of the United States of America are being harmed by the actions of the Congress of The United States. Services that citizens rely on for their health and well being are being closed and denied and cut by the very representatives elected to assure the health and well being of the citizens of the United States of America.

The purpose of this petition is to create American Jobs encourage advocacy sufficient resulting in a tax system that is fair, transparent and equal to society's views on appropriately balanced income and wealth distribution. The corporate share of federal revenue has declined by more than 60% over the last 50 years --- plummeting from 22% to 8%. Over the decade corporations have spent billions to get favored treatment as evidence documents corporations have been benefited with a return of more than 2,000% on their investment. Corporations do not pay their fair share of federal taxes yet promote a pro-growth strategy of austerity for American citizens and prosperity for themselves using the tax code as their “profit center” to boost corporate profits. Lawmakers substantially grant favors to corporations at the behest of corporate lobbyist consistently, to the detriment of ordinary citizens. This has accelerated the wealth gap according to representative studies showing in 2009 white families’ median income was $113,149 for Latino families their median income was $6,325 for and black families median income was $5,677. Worst, today more than 22 million Americans are unemployed. As a solution to closing the wealth gap and recognizing that: ➢ All global wealth passes through tax havens, and ➢ One-third of all wealth resides in cross-border tax havens This petition hereby demands the following: 1. Congress establish a United States based tax haven thereby creating a new economy, whose primary objective is to serve corporations as the authorized American tax haven. This tax haven will require benefiting corporations to accurately report all taxes paid in all countries regardless of where the income was generated, and to respect and adhere to a social contract between governments and citizens in promoting a tax system that eliminates wealth inequality. 2. Congress terminates all corporate tax credits for moving jobs off shore and outsourcing of services offshore. We demand that Congress: * Provide incentives for companies that hire Americans to work onshore * Offer incentives for corporations that give vendor opportunities to Americans * Provide a special tax incentive to corporations that establish a closely aligned relationship to colleges and universities developing curriculums to fill their labor needs over at least a 5-year or more period of time 3. Passes legislation prior to February 2014 ---exceeding the basic Action Plan released by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and endorsed by the G20, the world’s premier forum of Leaders representing economies creating more than 80 percent of global GDP--- agreeing to crack down on corporate tax evasion. 4. Require the Tax Reform Coalitions, all corporations, or their designated representatives, now to enter into an agreement with those representing the best interests of the 99% to jointly present to Congress preferred legislation that advances the G-20 Action Plan on cracking down on corporate tax evasion, avoidance and manipulation not later than January 15, 2014, adhering to the established schedule of the OEDC. 5. Put forth the strongest possible effort to conduct investigations, make business analyses, formalize business plans and hold hearings exercising all options to expeditiously complete the authorization of a United States tax haven. Simultaneously, companies with offshore funds, estimated now at $2 trillion, will be required to invest here in the United States tax haven or will be denied tax credits offshore and moreover denied a presence in the United States tax haven. We urge The United States Congress to give these five demands urgent attention and immediate implementation.
