I am starting this petition because I am so sick of politicians begging for money, and for the most part, getting it, from hard-working Americans, many of whom cannot afford it. Let's elect statesmen, rather than money grubbers. I love Berniece Sanders, but what happened to all the money he collected in 2015 and 2016? Likewise, I adore Elizabeth Warren, but why should I receive a text from her asking me to send money to defeat Kavanaugh? Why send Congress money to have them stand against a nomination from an unindicted co-conspirator? That is Congress's job. Congress, do your job!

We should be confident that people buying guns are not a danger to the public. This would be one step in reaching that goal. Our security and possibly our lives depend on it.

This petition is expressing disgust with the NHDP's choice to headline the first annual Eleanor Roosevelt Dinner, Alec Baldwin. We feel this choice of speaker is a blatant slap in the face to the MeToo Movement and respect for women.

Sheyann Webb-Christburg is the youngest Civil Right's Activist living. She has continued to carry on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, by providing scholarships and mentoring our youth.

Bank of America is freezing and closing bank accounts of people whose citizenship they question, taking people's assets away, throwing their finances into turmoil and injecting fear into the lives of these families and communities. We, the undersigned, demand that Bank of America immediately stop their practice of harassing and harming their customers on the basis of supposed immigration status. American communities and marketplaces are the gold standard all over the world because they are supported by the police, fire, transportation, safety, economic and educational infrastructure that are paid for by ALL of us, and are open to ALL without discrimination on the basis of bias against one's race, nationality, sex, religion, disability, age and (in many states) sexual orientation or gender identity. Bank of America is hurting the individuals they targeted and also damaging the economic foundations of our very quality of life with their profoundly troubling actions reported this week. Individuals, businesses and organizations are encouraged to close their accounts with Bank of America in an economic boycott. Show Bank of America that we won't stand for policies that amount to racist attacks on their own customers. We won't patronize businesses that fuel xenophobia and anti-immigrant terror. Close your accounts. Let Bank of America know exactly why.

The Democrats must lead by example; if the Republicans refuse to support this urgent proposal, let the voters decide accordingly.

Amazon is one of the wealthiest corporations, and it's been attacked and criticized for its miserly employment policies. We will continue to purchase from Amazon only if the Company makes big changes to the way they compensate and care for their workers, and if they invest a portion of their profits to improve the communities where they operate by supporting child care, health care, affordable housing, and transportation.

Every American should be concerned with the risk of our national security that worse attack than 911 on the American soil is pending and is coming. We have all to be more vigilant and be more aware of possible terrorist acts and reporting to any local and federal agency immediately without any hesitation.

Hola! My name is Angelica Garcia-Cruces and as perhaps many of you may know, there will not be a Honduras trip in the Spring of 2020. When I first heard this, I was very disappointed because I not only was looking forward to this trip and wonderful experience to be in Central America, but it also was the trip that fit best into my schedule in order to receive a Spanish Major. As someone in the education program, finding time to fit study abroad trips in my schedule is quite difficult and the trip to Honduras is what I have been planning on. Also, as a Latino student, getting to travel abroad to a country in Latin America is very important to me because it allows me to learn more about the culture of my neighbors in Honduras, to speak Spanish that is similar to the Spanish spoken in the United States (which are the primary people that I will be speaking Spanish with in my job and day to day life), and I have heard that it is one of the study abroad trips with a higher retention rate of the Spanish language than one like Spain. Having to do a semester in Spain is not only more expensive but it also does not allow me to experience Latin American culture which is something that is important to me and many others. If you feel the way I do and would like to go abroad to Honduras in 2020 please sign the petition, I am creating to send to the Director of Off-Campus Programs that may help us get the program back. If you have friends who might be interested in this petition, please send it to them if you would like to. Thank you! Bendiciones, Angelica Garcia-Cruces

I had ALL when I was 3 years old and millions of children have multiple pediatric cancers and it doesn't get the noticed like it should. Only 3.8% of funds go Childhood cancer. The White House gets lit up for fallen officers and for breast cancer, why not childhood cancer? Even if it is for one night in September! Our children are worth that.

As you may have seen in the news, Florida Polytechnic University’s administration has recently opted to eliminate the positions of Librarian and Wellness Counselor. Consequently, they laid off the only employee on campus with intimate knowledge of the digital library’s day-to-day operations, as well as the sole licensed mental health counselor on a remote campus. Part of a larger trend, these were the seventh and eighth in a series of lay-offs and terminations since the end of the spring semester that appears aimed at staff who have spoken about safety problems, legal and ethical issues, and other problems plaguing the university. These and other actions have created a toxic atmosphere in which faculty and staff do not feel it is safe to speak up on pertinent issues related to their job. While the union has tried time and time again to work with the administration, it has become increasingly clear that improving the work environment is not in their best interests. Given that Florida Polytechnic University is a public institution with the mission of serving the students and public in the state of Florida, these actions raise questions about the true priorities of the administration: Is it truly their mission to provide the best possible learning and research environment? Or is their goal to silence critics?

I am a woman's advocate and have lived through a time when women's rights were in the hands of men when women had to beg permission to protect their own bodies. Roe is part of a proud legacy fought for and won by hundreds of brave resilient women. How can we relegate it to the whims and ideology of one man? There are currently at least 13 abortion cases which could make their way to the Supreme Court should Kavanaugh be confirmed, and it's no secret that anti-abortion activists hand picked him to carry out their agenda. How can we relegate it to the whims and ideology of one man? Senator Collins must listen to the people of Maine as a key vote in rejecting Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation.
