Bullying doesn't just happen with kids, it can happen to adults, as well,especially in the workforce. All too often managers are getting away with bullying or harrassing their employees. Many States have laws or are trying to make laws banning this type of behavior. We need this behavior stopped in all 50 states, making bullying and harrassing employees illegal with consequences for the bullies.

The U.S. House passed a bill to cut food stamps (SNAP) by 144 billion over the next 10 years and make it into a block grant. The Senate is working on the SNAP legislation and asking for a cut of 4 billion. Sixty percent of food stamps feeds children and twenty percent goes to the elderly. Cutting any from food stamps in relation to the federal budget is like asking your child to give up his allowance to help with the mortage.

In 2005, Congress removed bankruptcy protections from private student loans, making private student debt one of two types of debt not dischargeable in bankruptcy. This decision was made after intense and well-funded lobbying by corrupt corporations who had no qualms about creating a permanently debt-enslaved working class with no legal rights or recourse. Education shouldn't lead to penury, and the corporations which are happy to profit off of the misery of millions of Americans shouldn't have the right to do so because their money buys them the Congressional access to make it happen.

My petition is about children's health issues. With politicians threatening to scrap Obamacare, I have a child who is now wearing braces to help him walk. We need to tell politicians in Washington to not ignore even the youngest person in the fight to keep Obamacare. If it weren't for that, I would have lost my 18 month old son to health problems. I don't want to lose my only son and only child. I love him too much. It breaks my heart to see him that way.

Florida's Governor Rick Scott continues to wage a war on Florida voters. Not only has he cut the early voting days in half including the very popular Sunday before election day, but now he also is purging the voting rolls. This week, voter advocacy groups sued Florida, claiming that the purge disproportionately targets Latino voters. The majority of voters on the list are Latino while they comprise less than 14% of the state's total population, according to Tampa Bay Times.

This program needs to be reviewed and changed. The program was supposed to rehabilitate patients released from State Hospitals into the community and become self supporting but thats not the case specifically in the Los Angeles CONREP program. The patients are kept forever and no one has been recommended by the program to be restored to sanity. Those restored are through the Courts without the programs recomendation after costing them and the State hugh amounts of money to fight their cases. The funds utilised by the program is a waste of Dept of Mental Health Funds which is disproportionately spent on a small % of the mentally ill and could be effectively spent on a greater % of the mentally ill who are in need more than those receiving it. CONREP makes patients dependent on on SSI, Medical, and the Program etc eventhough they are ready to become independent. This Program needs to be investigated and reforms are needed sonner, to help the patients become independent. The actual Patients in the Program need to be interviewed and protected from any retaliation to really know the truth about the Program. Eliminate the waste of funds in this Program through proper investigations. The patients are intimidated and frightened to speak due to consequences if they speak out. The statistics about the program are also flawed and incorrect.

Dolphins and whales use their hearing for survival and to find food. The Navy uses high frequency underwater sound for testing in the Hawaiian Islands and in CA. This deafens these animals and others. They die as a result. Please sign this petition so the Navy will STOP using these devices and thus killing these innocent creatures of God!
