We face an urgent situation where once again the US is about to attack a country that has not attacked us, but most assuredly will retaliate against any military action we take. Chemical weapons are an abomination, but it is far from clear that military action will have any positive effects to help the Syrian people. Attacking Syria to "maintain our credibility" in the words of one presidential candidate I remember in 2008 is a "dumb war".

The Sorina household are dear friends - very good people. People who chose to return and rebuild their home after Katrina. Their neighborhood was hard hit and they put in the hard work of returning to their city. Only to be taken from their home years later by a ban. http://outfront.blogs.cnn.com/2013/08/28/8-years-after-katrina-new-orleans-homeowners-forced-to-fight-for-homes/?sr=sharebar_facebook

Factory Farmed turkeys exist in horrific conditions. American consumers need to know the truth about how their Thanksgiving meal is being raised. Then the choice is theirs.

The purpose if this petition is to make our government realize that they need to start behaving in a civilized manner. They are setting a horrible example by abusing the power they have and squandering the resources available to them. For my entire life, I have watched as my country bounces from one war/conflict/invasion to the next. I feel like I have never known a time of peace. I also realize that in spite of that, I have been lucky. Anyone trying to live in any of these War Zones, has experienced horrors that I can not even comprehend. This is wrong on so many levels, I do not even know where to begin. War is a barbaric thing of the past, and it is time that we treat it as such. The United States of America is one of, if not the Greatest Powers on Earth. With that great power comes great responsibility. We should be leading by example. We must be the change that this world needs. We must practice Peace instead of War.

The President has called upon Congress to approve attacking Syria to prolong and escalate the war there. The Congress has imposed harsh sanctions upon Iran, just as they did for a decade before invading Iraq. War doesn't solve problems. Killing people only escalates the suffering. It is time to try a compassionate, humanitarian approach.

I am a Pharmacist for a major pharmacy retail chain and on most days pharmacist work diligently to serve patients without something as basic as lunch. It's inhumane and can be a hazard to the public, our job requires us to multi-task and make clinical judgments in a matter of seconds. These decisions and judgments should be made under the best circumstances.

This is my uncle that I love dearly that was not given a fair trial he has suffered in a hell hole for 10 years now on a case of people who knew nothing about my uncle so decided to choose isaac pike in massachasuttes federal prison because they were to scared to testify on who the real people involved in this incident would do to them. So now my loved uncle has to suffer because of someone else and the system a person could go kill someone today wearing a hoodie that llooks like there up to no good kill him and get off a free man what kind of world or we really living in so I ask everyone please for your help.

I live in Westfalls Village and am among the 19,700 current residents (and estimated 34,700 at build-out) who will be adversely impacted by this project. As proposed, the construction of these above-ground, high-tension transmission lines will have a devastating impact on our collective property values and quality of life.

I would hate for a war to start because of an eagerness to be world police when we should be handing that power to the UN, as it is supposed to be. We can provide assistance to the UN, but action is not worth starting a chain of events like the ones that led to the last two world wars. We should rebuild America before creating or entangling ourselves in more conflicts.

Assad regime used chemical attack because the crime and brutality are the essence and spirit of his regime which he inherited from his dead father and who both ruled the country with motto " I rule you OR I'll kill you"

Our educational system needs updated age-appropriate disease prevention messages to stop the spread on diseases and misinformation from our educational systems.

Beginning in the mid-19th century, several generations of woman suffrage supporters lectured, wrote, marched, lobbied, and practiced civil disobedience to achieve what many Americans considered a radical change of the Constitution. Few early supporters lived to see final victory in 1920. Slavery was abolished, Martin Luther King Jr and Winston Churchill are recognized on the calendar.. but women are still not recognized for their tireless efforts to gain the right to vote in America.
