Demand that the History Channel stop glorifying animal abuse with shows like Swamp People. Reptiles are hunted down in their own habitat and murdered by a shot to the head. They have no chance against a bullet. The cowardly humans are then touted as being "brave" with mean looks on their faces. Gators are also dragged behind horses. Please sign this petition and boycott the History Channel until it cancels Swamp People and other animal abuse shows. http://www.history.com/support

Over half of all colleges and universities use adjunct professors to teach America's students. These teachers make very little money, many work full time and most work one or two other jobs in order to continue teaching. I work full time at a community college teaching sociology and make $14,400 a year. I have to work nights and week-ends at other jobs to continue to teach. At my college, our Spanish teacher, with a PhD, works nights and weekends as a bartender. We are not considered teachers but contract workers; our "offiices" are cubicles in the library. Why would our students ever want to be teachers?

This fund of 5.2 million has been collected for the victims in the shooting in Aurora Colorado. It has not been released to the victims yet. Please sign this petition to ask that the funds be released to the victims it is intended for.

Get the Idaho State Legislature to pass a resolution calling on the U.S. Congress to pass a constitutional amendment that reverses the 2010 Supreme Court's Citizens United decision. Corporations are not entitled to the same constitutional rights as people. Regulating political contributions and spending is not equivalent to limiting political speech.

Make you voice heard! Disenfranchising voters on the pretense of stopping voter fraud is just another way of "fixing" the election. They can spend their $billions, BUT they must stop YOU from voting to get the Whitehouse and the Senate. Write to your representatives at the State level and let them know there will be serious consequences if they don't oppose this fraud.

The G.O.P. continues to vote down bills created to provide employment opportunities for war veterans, so we must urge these politicians to begin supporting the heroes that fight the wars they support. The time to end hypocritical policies begins now. The bill gives priority to those who served on or after 9/11 with good reason; the jobless rate for veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan hit 10.9% in August, compared with 8.1% nationally. Our heroes face challenges when they return (homelessness, unemployment, and record suicides), and this act would seek to create jobs for veterans in various fields (including law enforcement and firefighting), as well as create jobs to help maintain national veterans’ cemeteries in need of repairs, and to perform a variety of conservation work on federal, state and local parkland. This is our opportunity to show our appreciation and support to the men and women who risked their lives fighting wars by helping to ensure they receive earned opportunities for a successful transition back into our country, the land of the free and the brave.

Automobiles are very dangerous and drivers are distracted more and more every day both insdie and outside their vehicles advertising signs, cell phones, etc. You read many accident reports with drivers saying I didn't see the other vehcile. certain car colors blend into the scenery or are hard to see at certain times of the day. If they were required to have their headlights on at alll times it could cut down on numerous accidents and deaths saving lives and numerous costs relating to the accidents.

The political director for Tommy Thompson's Senatorial campaign sent out an email to right-wing blogs designed to spark a blaze of hatred towards Democratic rival Tammy Baldwin. The centerpiece of the email was a video clip of Baldwin dancing at a gay pride event, clearly meant to incite homophobic hate.

Does Romney understand the struggles of the middle class which is 99% of the U.S. population? or can he better relate to the Corporations and Wall Street of which he is a product of.

As 8:21am Kevin Keppel, Executive Director of Adventure Aquarium declared in a email announcement that Seal Shores will be officially closed October 1st to expand their penguin exhibit. If we band together we might be able to reverse this decision! We love our seals! I've been going to Camden, NJ for the aquarium since I was five years old. I was inspired to be a ocean activist when I got to meet "Squeegee" the seal. I have always returned to Seal Shores several times a year since then to see our lovely seals! Generations need to know and be inspired about this lovely animals! Our seals, if moved, will be relocated hours away to Washington, DC. We can stop this! Let's tell Camden to keep Seal Shores!

Many of my friends and neighbors, particularly senior citizens, have expressed their frustration with paperless voting machines in Arkansas. Without a paper record of their vote, the door is opened for potential voter fraud and widespread disenfranchisement. We are calling for a return to a process that provides a hard copy of voting records to ensure that our state's elections are open, fair, and exact.

This petition is to involve women when it comes to women's health. Sandra Fluke is a women's health advocate. She was told by Illinois congressman Joe Walsh to "get a job" and to stop acting "entitled". Sandra was denied the opportunity to speak at the all male congressional panel meeting about women's health issues. This feels like we are moving backwards as a society and not forward. Since when do we let men and only men decide what is best for women's health regardless of topic? I thought we already fought our war for women's rights. Now its time to fight again and prevail! Help me to bring to an end all male panels about women's health issues.
