It's Needed!!! Our Children Need to be informed. They all need to know where black & white in-differences began. They need to understand why racism has exist & still exist (to a certain extent) in the world we live in today. Our Youth are Our Future, they need to know about their past to Make their future Stronger.

After poisoning drinking water and increasing earthquake risk throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia, now the fracking industry wants to build a dangerous pipeline through the heart of Kentucky, including hundreds of acres of historic farmland that an order of nuns have lived on for nearly 200 years. The proposed pipeline would be operated by a chemical company with a record of fatal accidents. A spill or accident along this route could blow up homes or poison drinking water in over 18 counties. The pipeline company is surveying routes right now and threatening to use eminent domain to take private land. The Sisters of Loretto are bravely standing up to the fracking industry and have refused to let surveyors on their land. They've also taken the fight to Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear--but so far, he's declined to take action. Now it's time to get his attention by showing that thousands of people across the country are standing with these courageous nuns.

My son is incarcerated in a Georgia Prison which their has been a recent implementation of controlled flushing the tiolets by guards from outside the cells, ventilation inadequacies and controlled electricity. With the many horrific stories of inmates being beaten and even killed in some cases by guards retaliating against them for one reason or another, it would only be of great concern that one would allow the release of an inmate to remain in the tiolet for an unreasonable amount of time. Thus, exposing inmates to an unhealthy enviroment with poor ventilation increasing health risk. Ninety per cent of Georgia Prison's are without air condition on cell blocks. Also on their lock-down units inmates are only allowed out of the cells one hr and a half a day in hot and cold temperatures. Not all guards however some have withheld basic rights from inmates. These are true reflections of inmates within our prison system.

The widow & family want anwsers about Shawn and the status of his case, and any leads that will bring justice and closure, we want the NYPD to be more aggressive with the handling of his case.

Judge Baugh has re-victimized the victim and blamed her for being raped. The teacher who raped her was 53 and given a 30 day sentence and the 14 year old girl was blamed as participatory. She eventually killed herself. Shameful behavior! A man with this attitude and belief system should not be allowed on the bench. I wonder how many other cases involving sexual assault he has used this outdated and disgusting point of view in sentencing.

Hate crime, harrassmant, and bullying are not taken seriously enough in the District of Perry Township. There are students who are forced to go to school in fear because not enough action is taken to prevent or conclude these issues. This must be changed for the sake of students' well-being and safety!

Because MCR saved so many peoples lives and it hurts to just see them call it off we are just asking for one final show just to see them again

Along with plastic bags and bottles, Styrofoam is a major source of trash along Rhode Island's coast, threatening Narragansett Bay and taking centuries to break down. Dunkin' Donuts has removed its ubiquitous Styrofoam cups from a handful of New England towns that have enacted Styrofoam bans. Join us in urging Dunkin' to remove Styrofoam from all Rhode Island locations––for the sake of Narragansett Bay and all of us who treasure it.

For decades, the Glass-Steagall Act supported prosperity in the United States. It did so by reining in risky behavior by financial institutions. Its repeal in 1999 led to reckless and ruinous financial practices. In 2008, those practices caused worldwide financial disaster. Despite efforts to enact laws that would protect our financial system, intense lobbying by the banking industry has meant that our financial system and economy remain at risk. Our banking system must be stable and must serve the people by creating an economy that supports all of us, not just the wealthy. The Glass-Steagall Act provided excellent protections for the economy as a whole. While it may require updating to meet the challenges of today's more interconnected world, its reenactment will limit risk and provide a secure economy. Contact your legislators, and sign this petition: Reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act Now.

We, the undersigned, do not condone the intense brainwashing by our media and congress to frame the current threat by government to take food away from the one in four American children who already suffer hunger, and the chronic disabling effects of hunger, as a notion that belongs in the domain of Republican-Democrat viewpoints. The threat of increasing hunger in populations who already don’t have enough food to eat, is not one of political viewpoint, but instead belongs in the domain of child abuse. When a parent neglects to feed her children, we do not consider this her ‘viewpoint’; we call the child abuse hotline and get the child into a setting where the child’s basic needs can be met. Were a parent to keep a child so hungry that the child suffered pain, headaches, nausea, and couldn’t concentrate in school, we would all be outraged at the sadistic level of abuse. Our government, knowing almost a quarter of American children are suffering this level hunger, taking away what little food these families have, is an act of child abuse of the most devastating and sinister order. Clearly, funds are not the issue, as we somehow have $50,000 per year per (healthy) inmate (more for those needing medical attention) to imprison individuals who resort to stealing, but somehow are supposed to buy the brainwashing that we don’t have monies to provide $4.50/day for our poorest persons for food stamps. In addition, economists estimate that every dollar of SNAP benefit, adds $1.79 of economic benefit to the community. More than 80% of SNAP households have one or more members employed, with 87% of recipients living in households with children, elderly, or disabled persons. The more children get sick from hunger the more the low-wage earner has to take off from work resulting in job loss. Due to the economic crash, between 2007 & 2011 unemployment increased by 96% & SNAP by 70%. The average time on SNAP is 9 months as families find their way out from beneath the poverty line. We will not participate in condoning cutting programs that feed those suffering hunger as one of political party affiliation, and here join in calling it out as the child abuse (also elder abuse and abuse of the disabled) it is. We demand and here petition that our Senate and House of Representatives immediately stop the abuse and treat the epidemic of hunger in this country caused by the economic recession, as the national emergency it is, and respond as we do with the national emergencies caused by hurricanes, earthquakes, etc., by pouring funds into correcting the situation, including by creating jobs, including by using monies from our Defense/Homeland security coffers. That is, doing whatever it takes to fulfill our obligation as adults, our intrinsic role as guardians of the children, to see to it that our children have food to eat.
