Hydraulic fracturing for the purpose of natural gas production is a completely unacceptable technology for use in the state of Michigan. Fracking in the United States and throughout the world has resulted in horrendous disaster for citizens of the world.

Fracking has proven to be among the dirtiest mining technologies. Fracking is proven to release extremely dangerous amounts of methane into the air in addition to more hazardous and poisonous chemicals into the water table. The BLM's recent failure to consider any environmental impact analysis on fracking in CA shows the Obama administration prioritizes fossil fuel exploration over the environment and public health. Therefore it is up to CA state governance to put peoples' health and preserving what is left of the health our the environment--that we depend upon for clean air and WATER--as a first priority. We insist upon a moratorium on fracking in CA until a STATE run human health and environmental impact analysis is done.

Fracking results in extensive contamination of water, a precious resource. It is important instead to develop immediately, alternative sources of energy such as wind, solar and hydroelectric energy as well as to deploy a better energy grid.

Stop discriminatory practices against minority employees at the VAMC and enforce regulatory procedures to insure that promotions and hiring practices are fair for all VAMC employees including veterans.

Fracking contaminates our water system permanently. It is detrimental to the health of humans, animals, plants, and our food supply. Our community's health and well-being should be our top priority. We do not want to lend our support to the FRACTURING of our only Home.

Please stop fracking. As residents of DC, we are tired of earthquakes and national monuments crumbling. Also, we would like to keep our drinking water safe and clean. The water we drink comes from other states, so fracking must stop nationally. We would like to see the country move towards 100% renewable energy sources and we'd like to see the end of the dirty exploitation of our natural resources. Remove the exemption from the Safe Drinking Water for the fracking industry and hold energy companies accountable. Thank you.

This petition is to get as many people as possible to sign that we will receive justice for the murder of 17 yr old TRAYVON MARTIN.

Being charged with one felony, and only one felony. It's over 13-years-old and you haven't committed another crime since you were convicted, but they're still holding it against you. It's stopping you from getting a good job. You went back to school and got degrees, certification and still get turned down for jobs because this one felony.

A Florida jury has found George Zimmerman not guilty in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin—a 17-year-old African-American whose only crime was walking through a white neighborhood wearing a hoodie. The jury did not even find him guilty of manslaughter. While it did not play a role in this case, we will see more such injustices in the future as long as Florida has a "stand your ground" law on the books. Sign our petition to the Florida Legislature, demanding they repeal their “stand your ground” law immediately.

When old guard Cuban Americans in Congress were forced to accept that Beyonce and Jay-Z had visited Cuba legally, their response was to get the House Appropriations Committee to change the law and stop everyone from going on the same kind of licensed people to people trip. Members of the House and Senate and the President must hear from us. We need to tell them to reject the exile politics of a shrinking minority who are afraid of Americans seeing Cuba for themselves. The President should now treat all of us the same way he did Cuban Americans, universities and religious organizations four years ago by authorizing a general (no application needed) license for all purposeful non-tourist travel. Only sun and sand holidays separated from average Cubans should be precluded. That way we can all enjoy the same opportunity as Beyonce and Jay-Z, but at a lower cost, staying in privately owned bed and breakfasts and self-selected hotels, using public transportation and rental cars, organizing our own programs or joining meaningful group trips. Also important is that all US travel agents and tour operators must be free to book flights, hotels and programs for legally authorized travelers instead of the near monopoly currently held by 250 licensed Travel Service Providers. [Note: Cuban American travel and remittances will be crippled by this legislation. Text and analysis here: http://cubapeopletopeople.blogspot.com/2013/07/legislation-aims-to-destroy-people-to.html]

George Zimmerman had his day in court and he won. Stop the government from trying him for civil rights violations.

Trayvon Martin case, Stand Your Ground and Self-Defense laws. The case of The People v. George Zimmerman has demonstrated a hole in the Justice system and the Laws of the state of Florida (or any State where self-defense is an absolute) which allow an unwarranted escalation of violence by claiming self-defense. Florida law does not consider the inappropriate use of deadly force in self-defense cases and therefore implies that any response claimed as self-defense is not only warranted, but justified unless self-defense can be disproved.
