Since Hurricane Katrina, migrant day laborers in New Orleans have been doing jobs to rebuild the city. But Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials are conducting raids and surveillance on these workers instead of respecting workers' Constitutional rights to be free from racial discrimination, seek work on public streets, and to peaceably assemble. Now, two workers—Marlon and Jose—are facing imminent deportation for defending their right to organize! But it's not too late to stop their deportation. Marlon was targeted by plain-clothed ICE agents while looking for work. Jose was targeted by an undercover agent posed as a contractor looking for workers. Neither men have criminal backgrounds and both operations were in violation of ICE’s own polices on enforcement priorities. Marlon and Jose are going up against ICE in Immigration Court and need your support. If ICE knows Marlon and Jose have public support on their side, they'll be more likely to close the case. Please join us in telling ICE to stop the deportation of Marlon and Jose.

With current gridlock in Congress, and no action on our climate threat, it is becoming clear, that cities and states now hold in their power, a chance to take significant action. With the global mark of 400 parts per million of atmospheric carbon being passed in May 2013, it is clearly time to accelerate the 100% renewable agenda, at the city level. With blueprints now being published by Jacobson et al, for states to go 100% renewable, by 2030, cities are appropriate places to start. All 50 state blueprints are available at www.theSolutionsProject.org . Six states have legislation to create CCAs or Community Choice Aggregation, like Marin and Sonoma counties have, or are setting up, in CA. The 5 other states are IL, MA, OH, NJ and RI. See more details at Marin Clean Energy: https://mcecleanenergy.com . Creating a CCA enables a city, then its surrounding county, to facilitate more renewables into the market.

Disabled Students in Higher Education is a student group that educates and advocates for Disabled Students in College. UMKC does not support our group the way it supports other groups. DSHE needs funding to help disabled students return to college, get tutoring, or simply be able to send a letter to Vocational Rehabilitation. Please help by signing this petition.

Joe Hune's comments shows the contempt he holds for our friends, neighbors, and relatives who will benefit from having regular access to medical care thanks to the expansion of Medicaid in Michigan. Uncompensated care costs doctors and hospitals billions of dollars a year and this expansion will help prevent those costs from being passed on to us in higher insurance rates.

This petition is being circulated to receive an immediate response to the cries of the concerned citizens of the City of Trenton. We are asking for immediate attention regarding the reoccurring violence in the city streets with respect to the 32 tragic murders that have taken place in 2013. The fears of the residents of the City of Trenton grow stronger on a daily basis. The quality of life and public safety is our number one concern.

I am wanting to abolish the time change. Keeping and staying with daylight savings (the extra hour and sunlight). Most everyone I talk with agrees and wants this change as well. Please sign! Abolish Time Change now!!

I was terrified when Obama was planning too quickly and unilaterally to act against Syria. But now that he is engaging Congress, the American Public, and the world leaders in the discussion, I am deeply grateful and relieved. This is a vitally important and difficult decision. I admire the British for saying no to the speed of the decision when the intelligence was still incomplete. Bush's horrible rush to war in Iraq due to botched/prejudiced intelligence is still very clear in all our memories. It is healthy for a democracy to look at this rationally and comprehensively. Let us listen to Obama on Tuesday, September 10, do our own research, and listen to our own conscience. Regime change is never going to work, as we have hopefully learned. A strike to teach a lesson may be a good idea. I think the best solution would be to let Syria know that if another Chemical Weapons attack is ever used again, there will be immediate and damaging strikes at that time. All are fairly warned. All Syria's supporters will then be motivated to advise Syria to never do it again. They will be more accepting and I think more allies will cooperate/participate, if Syria makes that gross miscalculation a second time. It will be far less likely to cause World War III. Right now it is a hornets nest and anything is possible, with multiple retaliatory attacks probable.

I a High School Senior who sees the fast moving rate of High School Pregnancies which often leads to High School Dropouts. I come to realize that schools that offer Sexual Education courses have lower pregnancy and dropout rates. I am on my way towards progression on starting Sexual Education courses in not just my school, but all High Schools. This is a chance to give those who don't know the first thing about sex a piece of mind and how to be protected, or those with parents who failed to teach them about it one as well. With a positive spread of kind words and motivation our voices can be heard, so where do you stand; now or never?

It is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Brad Kolb promised to make a donation for $1 for every like on Hornet Signs page. As of midnight 9/30/2013 there were 1522. We are waiting on verification that Brad Kolb made the $150 donation to a Waco women's shelter for the burned decal he auctioned, even though he gave it to us. We are also waiting for confirmation of a $1522 donation going to a Waco women's shelter. Because violence against women must end. Brad Kolb has reached and all new low. After promising me the decal, he is now auctioning it off on ebay. We are at a loss for words that this man is not living up to his word. http://preview.tinyurl.com/o9dsk6k We're not done yet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmRUjEI9fVo http://trishamychoicelynch.wordpress.com/we-arent-done-yet/ Imagery debasing women in advertising and the media must end. Hornet signs crossed the line of good taste, and promoted violence against women, when they produced a decal of a gagged and bound women thrown into the back of a pick up truck. To make things worse, they then drove it around Waco, TX for a month before social media picked up on it an brought it to the world's attention. Hornet Signs, being represented by Brad Kolb, has steadfastly refused to apologize for this demeaning decal, although they have burned the decal and told us we could pick it up. They are now asking for ideas on what they, Hornet Signs should do with the decal, like auctioning it on ebay, even though they gave it to us. We plan to pick up the decal in Waco, then auction the burned decal and donate the proceeds to a Waco women's shelter. Help hold Hornet Signs and Brad Kolb's feet to the fire. Please hold them accountable for their horrible marketing campaign. Thank you.

A 7 year old African American girl, who was a straight A student at Deborah Brown Community School in Tulsa, OK, was brought to tears and left with emotional scars when her school told her family that her hair was unacceptable because it is a "distraction from the respectful and serious atmosphere of their school." Her hair was in little twists called dreadlocks. Horizon Science Academy in Ohio is banning “Afro-puffs and small twisted braids," as part of their dress code. These schools are singling out African American children because of the texture of their hair. It doesn't matter if the administration of the school is African American or Caucasian. These are hurtful, self-esteem damaging, discriminatory practices that need to be stopped immediately!

When US President Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in his first year in office, it reinforced the "Hope" that many of us felt. Now, with a push to war eerily similar to that of his Presidential predecessor, President Obama apparently wishes to prove his power through weapons, not diplomacy. This runs counter to the premise of the Prize and sullies the honor of other recipients such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Nelson Mandela and Aung San Suu Kyi.
