It has just come to my attention that the US has signed but never consented to agree to abide by the1994 UNCLOS Treaty, along with Libya, North Korea, and some landlocked states in Asia and Alaska! UNCLOS stands for the Law of the Seas Treaty. It has been signed and agreed to however by 161 other countries plus the EU! This Treaty is a "constitution for the ocean" - It provides a legal framework within which all legal ocean activities must operate to protect from the real perils of over fishing and pollution. This petition is to insist that the US take on the responsibility of being a world leader in saving our oceans from dying.

we have the right to know what food we are buying and how it has been grown and processes used to put it on the grocery shelves. I am concerned about genetically engineered foods that are not labeled. This should be an FDA requirement !

Create community support to meet with 4 monopoly Banks and demand they stop all illegal foreclosures.

To show people that California colleges have been cutting hard-working students admissions, giving them no way to progress.

The purpose of this petition is to promote awareness of the unsolved homicide of Stacey Keane Burns. She was an absolutely WONDERFUL mother (of 5 children), daughter, sister, auntie, and friend. She was DEVOTED to her family, friends, and community. At this point, there are MINIMAL resources being devoted to her case. By signing this petition you are supporting the need to have the state of New Hampshire devote the resources NEEDED to SOLVE this atrocious crime.

A drive-thru fast food restaurant such as Taco Bell does not belong in Bethany Village. The Village design was based on concepts that promote healthy neighborhoods. Taco Bell has no place here.

During the past year, the City of Memphis is requiring all vehicles with the exception of a few exempted vehicles to complete an On-Board Diagnostic Test. While this Diagnostic Test is important to our environment, I believe it is unfair to the citizens of Memphis since surrounding counties are not required to participate in the inspection process. It is my hope that all of the citizens of Tennessee will sign this petition as a beacon for our concerns over this tedious process.

My brother was killed by Headland,Al police officers on Jan.31 2012 after his mom placed a call to 911 to take him to the hospital as he was unarmed Schizophrenic(which was made known to 911) and had been taken off his meds by his doctor.EMTs arrived and needed assistance to so they called for back up and 4 police officers arrived and none of them chose to make the decision to use less extreme measures to try and coerce him to seek treatment,yet 1 officer chose to fire is weapon twice one grazing his chest and the other fatally in the abdomen. This should have not happen...other measures could have been taken to subdo and get him to the hospital for the help he needed. His mother called for HELP not Harm. Please sign our petition so that we can bring awareness to the public that our mentally ill is not exempt from extreme deadly force by police even when they are at their weakest which they should be.We would like to see these officers tried and prosecuted for their actions.One officer has gone so far to post on his facebook page pics of himself consuming alcohol and partying with status that state how he going be doing this(partying and drinking) for quite some time. These officers have no remorse for killing a mentally ill human being.IHelp us get this petition passed and these officer brought to justice.

Did you know that over the past decade, the big five oil companies – BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil and Shell – have earned more than $1 trillion in profits? At the same time, these oil companies also enjoy billions in special tax breaks. Meanwhile, Big Oil’s congressional allies continue to push ‘oil above all’ energy policies – from advancing the toxic Keystone XL tar sands pipeline to expanding dangerous drilling off our coasts. It’s time to fight back. The Senate may soon vote on legislation to end billions of dollars in annual giveaways that the Big Oil companies receive. Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) has introduced the ‘Repeal Big Oil Tax Subsidies Act’ (S. 2204), which would cut billions of dollars in unnecessary oil subsidies. Additionally, the senator’s bill would use those savings to invest in clean, renewable energy sources that would create new jobs, make America more energy independent and reduce harmful pollution. It makes absolutely no sense that ExxonMobil, which reported annual profits of $41 billion in 2011, continues to benefit from massive taxpayer-funded government handouts. But this upcoming Senate vote represents an opportunity to put every senator on the record. As President Obama said recently, “They can either stand up for oil companies, or they can stand up for the American people.”

But for those making more than $1 million — there were 236,883 such households in 2009 — I would raise rates immediately on taxable income in excess of $1 million, including, of course, dividends and capital gains. And for those who make $10 million or more — there were 8,274 in 2009 — I would suggest an additional increase in rate. My friends and I have been coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress. It’s time for our government to get serious about shared sacrifice

Rush Limbaugh's verbal assault on Georgetown University student Sandra Fluke, calling her a "slut" and a "prostitute," was intended to do one thing: intimidate women who would dare to speak out for their reproductive freedom. But this time Limbaugh has gone too far, and it has sparked a nationwide backlash. At least 140 major advertisers have pulled their ads from the Limbaugh show, and some stations have canceled the show altogether. Now it's Jonesboro's turn to take action and boycott Rush Limbaugh from KBTM Radio..NOW!!!

Rush is still being broadcast bu WLTP 910 radio. This time Rush has gone too far, and it has sparked a nationwide backlash. At least 140 major advertisers have pulled their ads from the Limbaugh Show, and some stations have cancelled the show altogether. Now is the time to speak up.
