Mr. Oscar Lopez Rivera is the longest held political prisoners in the history of Puerto Rico and in the world. He has been jailed for 32 years.

We are at the brink of a historic moment. The issue of immigration reform emerged as a national issue during the 2012 election, and Washington is finally listening. Let’s make sure they hear us. This is our chance to fix this broken immigration system, keep our families together, and keep our communities intact. Join us as we tell Senator Moran: “It’s time for a legal pathway to citizenship for 11 million undocumented Americans."

The Michigan legislature, in 2007, passed a new law raising the standards for ASL interpreters in Michigan. Now, the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) must review and approve the rules before the end of the legislative session, or the DODHH will have to start all over again to get standards raised in the state for Deaf citizens.

This petition in support of keeping Jessica Gronemeyer at Lawton in an early elementary position. Jessica Gronemeyer received a pink slip based on her years experience and not her highly effective teaching in the K-1 classroom at Lawton.

In recent years, there has been a lot of evidence found pointing to a strong link between animal cruelty and domestic violence. One study found that nearly 90% of families reporting domestic violence had cases of abused pets as well. We can help the affected animals in Pennsylvania by petitioning to include animals in the definition of "abuse," which would allow for pets to be included in domestic violence protection orders.

The Federal Government has banned recreational fisherman from bringing back filleted Pelagic fish (mahi-mahi, Wahoo, Tuna). The problem primarily impacts recreational fisherman on the Florida East Coast travelling to the Bahamas. Recreational boats are not equipped with coolers large enough to keep whole fish fresh for trips of a duration greater than 2 or 3 days and many of the islands do not have stable supplies of ice, causing these fish to rot and go to waste. Also recreational boats, unlike commercial fishing boats, lack the ability to freeze fish whole. We are proposing a recreational per person per day bag limit of fillets measured in pounds to be capped at a certain amount. This would allow recreational anglers to fillet fish, freeze them at the place they are staying and legally return with this fish to Florida.

The White House has requested that US agencies consider a shift in policy toward directly arming the anti-Assad militias and recognizing the “rebels” as Syria’s legitimate government. It also noted that upcoming “Eager Lion” military exercises bringing 15,000 US and NATO troops, along with those of other US-aligned countries, to Jordan would provide the means of pre-positioning US military hardware for a Syrian intervention.
