DEA confiscated cash with no chargeTheir grounds for confiscating were because I was a male between the ages of 18-40 traveling to a marijuana state ( which includes 30 states and the District of Columbia), also booking a one way ticket within a 72 hr period ( which is because it is cheaper, but I also book a one way back.). The cash the DEA confiscated was below the 10k rule and the phones are not listed on the letter they sent. In this letter they asked me for a petition and has 10 days to file a claim. This is something we need to abolish. They are interfering with finances which causes more issues.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Zoe West

"a potential American recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Syrian occupied Golan"Dear Congressman/Senator… We write to you today, as American citizens and American of Syrian origin, to draw your urgent attention to the recent media reports and congressional hearing about “a potential American recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Syrian occupied Golan”. We call upon you to consider the consequences and repercussions of such an act on the national security of the United States, as well as on its international status and credibility. In recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Syrian occupied Golan, the United States is retreating from its long-standing political positions and commitment to the principle of the impermissibility of acquiring other’s territory by force. For a long time, the US has acted as a peaceful broker in the conflict between Arabs and Israelis, through negotiation and diplomatic means based on the “Land for Peace” Principle. We would like to remind you that on December 17, 1981, The United States voted in favor of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 497. This resolution decided that the Israeli Law to annex the Syrian occupied Golan, is "null and void and without international legal effect". Furthermore, this Resolution called on Israel to rescind this action. Our country, the United States of America, has been one of the major founders of the United Nations. We believe that the credibility and international status of the United States as a fair mediator will be greatly affected and damaged by such an act. Moreover, such a recognition by the United States would violate international law, because all resolutions adopted by the United Nations since 1967 have provided for the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by force and have asked Israel to withdraw from the territories it has occupied by force, including the occupied Syrian Golan. We, as American citizens, are proud that the Founding Fathers understood that if America does not have sovereignty, it does not have independence. The United States is an independent nation, governed by the American people, who adopted the Constitution and created the government. They elect their representatives and make their own laws. We all remember and respect the principle established by our Founding Fathers, which states “OURS IS A GOVERNMENT OF LAWS NOT OF MEN”. We, as American citizens and American of Syrian origin are presenting our plea, asking you to think carefully before taking any action concerning the rights of another sovereign state, which damages the image of the United States as a great nation that respects and adheres to the principles of the American Constitution and international law. We count on your wisdom not to provide terrorist groups with a new pretext to further fuel violent extremism. The national interests of the United States of America will be preserved as long as our Government abides by international law and the legal and moral principles on which this great country was founded. Respectfully, American Citizen and Syrian American Citizen185 of 200 SignaturesCreated by SAWA

Tell the FDA not to ban almond milkFDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb surprised everyone when he announced that the FDA is considering banning terms like "almond milk" on the labels of plant-based milks. Why? “Almonds don’t lactate,” he quipped. He was only half-kidding: it really does come down to lactation. For years, there’s been a standard on the books that specifies that the word milk must refer to the lacteal secretions of a cow. It’s always been the rule that you can’t put the plain-old unadorned label milk on almond milk, soy milk, or even goat’s milk. But now Big Dairy is seeing its sales plummet while almond, soy, oat, and other plant-based milks gain market share. So dairy lobbyists have taken the position that the FDA should ban the word "milk" from plant-based labels altogether, even when it appears after the words almond, soy, or oat. Call it beverage or drink, they say, not milk. The Good Food Institute is a nonprofit organization that works to create a better future of food. Sign the petition and we'll pass along your signature and comments as part of the public feedback period on Docket ID: FDA-2018-N-2381. The deadline is August 27, so we should act fast. Join us in telling Trump’s FDA that the government has no business censoring plant-based labels. Common sense should win out over dairy lobbyists.92 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Matt Ball, The Good Food Institute

Ban Air rifles, B B guns, airguns, pellet guns in city of SunriseMy neighbors are being endangered by irresponsible pellet gun owners that get drunk and start shooting. Police have been called numerous times and they can't do anything because the laws tie their hands. It feels laws are protecting the criminals rather than decent, law abiding citizens that just want to live in peace. Robbing us of peaceful enjoyment of our homes.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Patricia Blanco
