I am beseeching all fellow beings, please petition YOUTUBE to block cock fighting, dog fighting, horse tripping and other deliberate acts of cruelty using animals as unwitting entertainment, the more shocking and cruel, the more hits-the more hit, the more YOUTUBE benefits with advertising dollars; the advertisers do not realize that they are inadvertently supporting horrific cruelty.

Our tagline at SODAC is "off the streets and on their feet." Our goal is to provide street children and vulnerable children with rehabilitation, support and resettlement services. Right now our activities are primarily in Kampala, Uganda. We have a home and center where children from all over the slums come and participate in our activities and have a chance to enjoy life as a child. Our activities include educating them, giving the shelter, teaching them how to sing dance, acrobatics and other activities that we can participate in as a family and across African Countries. Currently there are 16 boys who live and sleep in the home. There are more than 50 other children who come from the streets and slums that we help. These are children who lives on the streets with no one to take care of them and with no one to cater for his/her welfare, such children are abandoned, rejected and neglected and society considers him/her as a detriment to the community or dangerous to society. Such children might be victims of war, natural disaster, and domestic violence, parents died of HIV/AIDS or absolute poverty in the family.

Hospitals have a responsibility to the public to make sure that doctors are practicing good medicine, through the process of fair and unbiased peer review. However, Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte abused this process to discriminate against Dr. Ron Virmani, who is a U.S. citizen, because he was born in India. On September 1, 1995, they kicked him out of the hospital after a very secretive sham internal peer review, labeling 24 of his patient charts "problematic". An expert of North Carolina Medical Board stated that Dr. Virmani met the standard of care. Dr. Virmani lost his ob-gyn career and his professional standing. He and his family suffered tremendously for 16 long years and still continue to suffer.

We elect people to go into state and federal government to represent us and our interests. They don't! Too many of our elected representatives act in the interest of corporate America, whose self interest is international, We are finally holding our elected officials accountable. We are watching. It's them-- the corporations or us-- the people. Stand up for the American people or we will act at the polls! We have had enough!

In Washington, DC, our nation's capital, we have no voting member of Congress, and our local taxes and laws are subject to the control of Congress. This violates every principle of democracy and it is un-American.

By signing this petition, you are showing that affordable, accessible healthcare is important and needs to be improved. Your signature helps prove that this issue matters to our community and should be addressed.

## THE MORAL AND FISCAL CASE FOR A DISABILITY LIVING WAGE The current Social Security Disability system is built on an inherently flawed "pay-to-play" model. By basing monthly payments on prior work history and "work credits," the government effectively penalizes those who become disabled at a young age. These individuals never had the chronological opportunity to build a career or pay into the system, yet they are forced to survive on significantly less support than those injured later in life. This creates a systemic "youth penalty" that traps our most vulnerable citizens in a cycle of lifelong poverty. The financial logic of the current system is also deeply counterproductive. When disability payments fall below the actual cost of living, individuals are often forced into state-funded nursing homes or long-term care facilities. These institutions cost taxpayers significantly more than a direct living wage would. By providing a livable income, we allow people to live independently in their communities, which is not only more humane but a far more responsible use of public funds. Beyond the financial savings, a living wage provides the foundation for true autonomy. Those disabled early in life lack the 401(k)s, home equity, or personal savings that older adults may have accumulated. A guaranteed living wage levels the playing field, ensuring that a person’s ability to afford food, accessible housing, and medical necessities is based on their human dignity rather than their previous tax contributions. Providing a living wage also acts as a direct stimulus to local economies. Unlike high earners who may save or invest their income, disabled individuals living on a fixed budget spend their benefits immediately on essential local goods and services like groceries, rent, and healthcare. This keeps wealth circulating within the community and supports small businesses, turning a social safety net into an engine for local economic stability. Ultimately, America must decide if its disability program is an insurance policy for the lucky or a safety net for all. We demand that Congress eliminate the work-credit requirement for those with permanent disabilities and establish a universal benefit floor that meets the modern cost of living. It is time to end the administrative complexity of the current tiers and replace them with a simple, dignified, and livable standard for every permanently disabled American.

The USPS is sounding the alarm: without action, it could run out of money and stop deliveries before we know it.  And we don’t need to tell you: that would be the WORST possible timing for the millions of Americans who vote by mail. This was no accident. Trump and his allies have spent years trying to gut the USPS – pushing cuts, downsizing, and privatization schemes to dismantle a public service that millions of Americans rely on every day.  If Congress doesn’t step in, they may finally succeed. Trump has never hidden his goal: he's hell-bent on taking away our right to vote by mail, and seems to believe that any government function that isn't about making him or his fellow billionaires richer just isn't worth it. But we know the truth: the USPS is a vital, dependable, and all-American public service that’s crucial to our democracy. If Trump thinks he can take it away from us without a fight, he's got another thing coming. Sign The Petition: Tell Congress to act now and fully fund the USPS before it’s too late >>

We are asking Representative Barrett to personally ensure these concerns are investigated, reported on, and answered publicly.  Taxpayers in Michigan's 7th District have some straightforward questions about federal immigration detention spending. We are still waiting for clear answers and we are requesting that Representative Tom Barrett help us get them. Members of Representative Barrett's own party have called this spending fiscal mismanagement. His subcommittee assignment puts him in a direct position to demand independent appraisals, contractor disclosures, and a full Government Accountability Office review. We are not asking him to take a political position. We are asking him to do the job his committee role exists to do.  MoveOn MI-07 Cohort & Indivisible MI-07 (IMI7)

Increasing Atlanta's public transportation would be extremely important to help cut down on traffic throughout the city. Imagine how many people would not need a car to get to work or to the store because they could rely on a MARTA system that actually runs throughout the whole city. Many people in Atlanta may not be able to afford a car, or can barely afford a car. The service that ample bus routes or train stops could provide to those individuals would greatly improve their quality of life, allowing them to get to work, to the store, or just to a friends house, without the stress of automotive bills piling up day by day. Furthermore, individuals living in the surrounding suburbs would have an easier time getting to work everyday as traffic would be cut down on the highways and throughout the city. 

Signing this petition is a way to stand up for basic human rights and demand accountability where it has been repeatedly ignored. Trousdale Turner Correctional Center has a well-documented history of violence, deaths, and unsafe conditions, yet little meaningful change has been made. By adding your name, you are helping bring attention to a serious issue that affects not only those incarcerated, but also their families, staff, and the broader community. Every signature increases pressure on officials to take action, whether that means shutting the facility down or enforcing immediate reforms. Change only happens when people speak out, and your voice can help protect lives and ensure that no one is forced to live or work in such dangerous conditions.

It is important to join my cause because it will help the learning in school for students to learn via teachers, rather than a voice in a computer program. Joining this cause will hopefully lessen the need for Lexia in the classroom and boost the time Teachers spend teaching their students, or, doing their job.
