Stop Slaughtering Big Bend BurrosThe Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) has been slaughtering wild burros in Big Bend Ranch State Park since 2007. To date they have killed over 100 burros. The Burros have lived in the park for hundreds of years, but TPWD is now calling them an exotic invasive species. There has been outrage in West Texas about this, but national animal rights groups don't seem interested. It is certainly arguable that the burros are an invasive species since they have been in the park since the time of the Conquistadores and possibly before. At the same time another non-native species, the Texas Longhorns have not been targeted by TPWC. Let's shed some light on and stop the slaughter of these creatures.77 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Steven Garcia

Prevent Isolation - Promote Independence - Support LATAN!For 20 years, LATAN has provided assistive technology services statewide to people of all ages, with all types of disabilities, service-related injuries, and limitations due to aging, and has been the sole source for these services in Louisiana. Without continued state appropriations to supplement federal AT Act Grant funding, LATAN's ability to continue to provide these services is in serious jeopardy.185 of 200 SignaturesCreated by elaine richard

Tell Illinois Bishop to Apologize for Comparing Obama to HitlerAs pastors and teachers, Catholic bishops are supposed to lead their flock in sharing the love of God with our neighbors. So why did a Catholic bishop just preach a homily comparing President Obama to Hitler and Stalin? Bishop Daniel R. Jenky of Peoria, Illinois, launched a vicious tirade against politicians who disagree with the bishops' views on health care reform, culminating in the outrageous claim that "Barack Obama seems intent on following a similar path" to Hitler and Stalin, who "would just barely tolerate some churches remaining open." This kind of hateful and incendiary rhetoric is inappropriate coming from anyone -- but it's simply outrageous coming from a religious leader in a position of public trust. Bishop Jenky needs to hear immediately that reasonable people are appalled by his remarks.8,998 of 9,000 SignaturesCreated by Michael Sherrard, Faithful America
