I am a Rare disease Advocate. I personally have 3 chronically ill diseases, Sarcoidosis, Sjogren's Syndrome, and Parkinson's. I am on disability now. I have been downgraded from chronic to terminally ill. With the Tax bill and the Healthcare bill they are killing million like myself! Cutting Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security then trying to pass a Healthcare Bill that would make it impossible for those with pre-existing conditions to get health care is absurd and deadly!

I want every citizen to call their Senator and DEMAND action. Demand that Congress investigate Donald Trump, who is protecting this hostile foreign power from this flagrant and heinous murder. The Saudi's got an "all clear" from the White House - who delivered this message, Kushner? Did Kushner tell the Prince - have at it, kill all the reporters you want, just keep buying our weapons? I want the Senate to immediately draft and present a bill for signature imposing sanctions, prohibiting the sale of arms, ejecting all Saudi's diplomats, and refusing entry to all Saudi citizens. Enough.

Given the ongoing human rights abuses the US under current administration refused to address as well as President Trumps again siding with and covering for authoritarian leaders, we call on the patriotism of our defense contractors to withhold sales to Saudi Arabia until such time the world consensus shows they are being honest with other nations and satisfy questions surrounding disappearance of Khashoggi.

Pres. Trump, the billionaire Koch bros. & Republican leaders are PRIVATIZING THE VA to help their friends make billions of dollars off sick vets. Today more than 40% of all VA outpatient appointments are completed in the private sector. Trump and friends propose to send all vets to private healthcare, close the 1,100 VA hospitals & clinics and sell off all the land to developers and private hospital corporations. They must be STOPPED! In survey after survey veterans say they want the VA FIXED Not PRIVATIZED. In a Vets for Foreign Wars survey 92% of the vets who use the VA for healthcare said THEY WANT THE VA FIXED. The want to go to their highly qualified VA doctors & nurses not be lost in the private sector shuffled from clinic to clinic.

I am starting this petition because I believe that certain white people are using 911 emergency services as a means to act out their racism against black people in America. They are weaponizing their white privilege against the black person whom they have called the police on, and do so under the belief that their actions will be not only excused but supported by the authorities. This blatant projection of racism onto the well being and lives of black people must be deemed inexcusable and a severe offense under the eyes of the law.

I feel very strongky about prootecting families and children in my community and the majority of wayne residents do not even know this is being proposed.

It is extremely hard to come forward and when you do you are victimized again. This must stop. The statute of limitations should be lifted.

On August 2, 2018, the temperature was in the high 80's with high humidity and the petting zoo at the (Eastpointe, MI) Kennedy Park event violated MPC 750.50 a.k.a., the Anti Cruelty Statute. The event went from 5-10 pm with approximately 20 animals. A gray Lion's head rabbit was confined to a cage with NO shade, a 2 ounce container for water (only after I chewed out the owners), and food NOT suitable for a rabbit. The owner claimed the rabbit had water earlier and the kids are responsible for feeding the rabbit. The statute mandates adequate water, food, sanitary conditions and protection/shelter from the elements. In this case, the sun. The rabbit was forced to sit in the sun for 3 hours with no shade, a blanket was not provided until I chewed out the owner for not providing shade/shelter from the sun. As of today, October 15th, the city attorney has still NOT filed animal neglect charges. Although their office is short staffed with prosecuting attorneys, the neglect charges MUST be filed. Eastpointe has been without animal control prior to August and MDARD (Michigan Dept of Agriculture and Rural Development) mandates ALL cities MUST have animal control. The city just hired a new city manager with a $117k salary + benefits, but is not wanting to pay the cost of finalizing the transfer of animal control to Macomb County Animal Control. In addition to the petting zoo, a sheep was tied to the side of a trailer with no more than 5 feet to move. The recreation authority members are on the record stating their discomfort seeing the animals mistreated at the event and don't understand why no shade was provided for the rabbit, when it had been in previous years. When I addressed the Warren City Council about animal neglect at their birthday bash, they were very appreciative of my concerns. A Warren councilman is working with the MI director of the Humane Society of the United States and Attorneys for Animals in drafting language to ban all traveling animal acts. In addition to rampant animal neglect at petting zoos forcing animals to endure travel of an hour or more in trailers with no air conditioning or escape from humans when stressed, it's also a public welfare issue. Zoonotic diseases are transmitted from petting zoos to humans that range from e coli, salmonella, cryptosporidium, Giardia infection, etc. Symptoms range from bloody to watery diarrhea, vomiting, headaches, fever, chills, etc. When cities are aware of this, they have a responsibility to protect both animals from neglect and the public from zoonotic diseases. Please contact the Eastpointe city council (council email addresses are listed on city website & have a Facebook page) and city attorney (586-778-7778) and request animal neglect charges are filed against PartyanimalsMI.com from the August 2nd event for violation of adequate care under the Anti Cruelty Statute regarding inadequate water/food/shelter (NO shade). And ask that Eastpointe teaches children compassion towards animals in banning ALL petting zoos/farms and traveling animal acts. Please do NOT support any petting zoos or circuses either. Please attend your local city council meetings and request they BAN petting zoos/farms and traveling animal acts due to animal neglect and transmission of zoonotic diseases. There are NO "good" petting zoos, it's all about profiting off of the misery and suffering of animals. Ignore the argument about kids having fun, the animals are NOT having fun.

If they are getting the same health care options as us, maybe they will care about the options. Why do they deserve special plans?

In Juliana v. U.S., a group of youths, ages 11-22, filed suit against the US government for its affirmative actions that cause climate change, which have violated the youngest generation’s constitutional rights to life, liberty, and property, as well as failed to protect essential public trust resources. The fossil fuel industry and the Trump administration have requested multiple times that the case be dismissed, but all of these attempts have been rejected by the courts. The trial in the 9th Circuit of Appeals is set for October 29! Support these brave young people! Sign this petition and share!

Many who are disheartened by the state of our country and the state of our governing bodies and market structure feel lost. Many of us feel that our votes don't make a difference, especially with news of massive voter suppression efforts such as is happening now in Georgia, or of the Russian interference in our presidential election and the willingness of an entire political party to comply. Many of us don't know how to make an impact beyond posting our political opinions on social media. THIS IS THE UNDERLYING MOTIVATION FOR RED FRIDAY. Red Friday is an event with dual intentions. The primary goal of Red Friday is to bolster support for an elevated minimum wage. The secondary goal of Red Friday is to express national distrust in the government and market structure across the United States by disrupting corporate profiteering through economic disobedience.

The ridiculous profits realized by those who have monopolized the sources of information that would allow for informed consent of our countries governance has led us to a crisis not unlike our healthcare situation. They profit from misinformation and conspire against the citizenry for profits with total disregard for the responsibilities that were once implied by a license to use public airwaves.
