For years, several people, including myself, have made requests to Facebook to be able to disable all Messenger calls from Facebook on our phones and be able to turn off all voice and video calls completely. Many people feel that their privacy is violated and are irked by being woken up at 3 or 4 in the morning by strangers calling them on their phones using Facebook Messenger. Despite all of the complaints I saw on a thread a few years ago, Facebook not only did nothing to solve the issue, they actually closed the thread so additional comments could no longer be added to this thread. This is seriously virtually harassing people since many have reported being woken up by strangers calling them at 3 or 4 am on Facebook Messenger and several others have also commented on not even being able to do a simple task on their phone without being interrupted by yet another Messenger call from some stranger on Facebook. There isn't even an option to log out of this application, and despite setting your status to inactive and muting all notifications on this app, it still makes an annoying noise when someone who tried to video-call you on your phone hangs up. This violates our privacy. If a telemarketer knocks on our door trying to sell a product, we've always had the option to be able to shut the door and walk away without being bothered by a telemarketer. And if they did try to bother us again and again by knocking on our door at 3 or 4 am, we could call the police and get them arrested. This is not the case with Facebook Messenger, and I think we should still have the right to be able to walk away and not be bothered by intruders, whether it's in person or virtually. Therefore I think we should get our voices heard, so we don't have to hear unwanted voice calls (especially at 3 am) due to disgracebook violating people's privacy and ignoring several complaints to fix this issue. Feel free to sign my other petition that addresses the same issue on a different site. https://www.change.org/p/facebook-petition-for-turning-off-facebook-messenger-calls-completely?recruiter=641097989&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition&utm_term=share_petition Also, great minds petition alike. Someone else made a petition for the same thing. Yay.

To the House of Representatives, Members of the Senate, my fellow Americans, and, most pointedly, President Donald J. Trump, My name is Charles Porter. I am a middle aged, working class American man. And I am forming this petition in the hopes that there is still decency remaining in what we call America. Since President Trump has been in office, I have watched the decline of the country I love. Allow me a moment to give you a brief overview of my family ties to our nation. My ancestors were among the first pilgrims to this land. My family, through my paternal grandmother, share family lineage with President GeorgeWashington. I am a direct descendent of the first Rear Admiral of the U.S. Navy. My family has been as American as one can possibly be. Sadly, I no longer recognize the America my family helped establish, uphold, and defend. And I fear we are on the verge of a constitutional crisis as never seen before. Our President's campaign and administration has been under investigation for over a year and a half, the results of which should be widely known by now. And now we have the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh as SCOTUS. This same Brett Kavanaugh, has written he believes the President should be above the law. As an American, I find this idea offensive, and downright wrong. The President is supposed to serve the country. Not himself. The office of President is supposed to be held by citizens! And no citizen, however powerful, is above the law. If we allow Mr. Trump to get his nominee into the Supreme Court, it could very probably destroy our country. We must stand against the man trying to stylize himself into an autocrat. It is now or never. Please, stand with me. Please stand with America

We must not have a repeat of the repression and massacres on the 1980s, when our government condoned gross human rights violations against the Guatemalan people, in particular against indigenous communities. Stop the attacks on environmental and human rights activists.

As a Phoenician, I expect all of our elected leaders to act in the best interests of children who cannot defend themselves and hold bad actors accountable. AZDHS needs to conduct a thorough investigation and, if appropriate, pursue legal remedies to ensure similar events never occur again. Children depend on responsible adults for their safety; we cannot fail them again.

When I was born over sixty years ago, I came into a home with a kitty in it. I have been a cat lover ever since. Kitties deserve to be adored, not horribly abused in secret procedures which end in their deaths. https://www.whitecoatwaste.org/kittens/ There are modern techniques that can be substituted to end this atrocity. Legislation has been introduced in Congress which can end this inhumane abuse of cats and kittens: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/115/hr5780 However, this bill only has a 2% chance of enactment without a TON of support from an outraged public! Thanks to all who have signed my petition so far! And keep on loving the kitties! UPDATE: I just found out that these barbarically abused kittens are killed at 11 weeks old by: I N C I N E R A T I N G T H E M A L I V E ! ! ! Only the most sadistic monsters could possibly work in a place that does this. The link to the site where I found this is: https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/USDA-Lab-in-Beltsville-Accused-of-Killing-Kittens-After-Testing--482079841.html I am sickened all over again by this! THESE SADISTS MUST BE STOPPED! I ask anyone who has signed or is signing my petition now to tell others about this horror and urge them to sign it, too. This petition needs to go VIRAL! Again, thanks to all who have signed already. And always love the kitties!

Ban the sale and discharge of all fireworks in the city of Duarte, CA. To protect our citizens, environment, veterans, pets, livestock and to disassociate ourselves from illegal fireworks and related crime.

It's inappropriate for Micheal Selyem, a law enforcement official serving the people of California, to voice these views.

In the words of San Diego County DA Summer Stephan: "The current language in AB 1810 allows mental health treatment pre-trial diversion for every type of crime including serial rape and murder. The bill allows no exclusion for the type of crime committed. No exclusion for prior criminal history an diversion instead of prosecution that would be available for those with almost every kind of mental health diagnosis. This means paraphilia, often diagnosed as the mental health issue for serial rapists and depression, often associated with mass school shooting murders are not excluded." Read paragraph 13 of AB 1810 yourself. What kind of CA will our children inherit from us? Summer Stephan went on to call AB 1810 a "Dangerous social experiment" and said that there are few serious felony offenses where the mental health of the defendant is not called into question. Please sign this petition demanding revisions to this dangerous bill!

First, the Trump administration proposed allowing hunters to kill bear cubs and wolf pups in their dens. Now, with as few as 30 red wolves left in the world, the administration wants to allow landowners and hunters to kill any that leave their refuge. The Department of the Interior is accepting comments on this plan. So we need you to speak up now!

A new bill was just introduced in Congress that would overhaul and dismantle the Endangered Species Act. The Endangered Species Act is a bedrock environmental law that protects animals at risk of extinction and their habitat. This bill would be a disaster for bees, butterflies, birds, wolves and other valuable wildlife. But all of this is at stake. The GOP wants to gut the Endangered Species Act and put many critical species at risk. We can’t let that happen.

I am an educational therapist, shocked by the decisions the Trump administration has made that harm children. I work with traumatized and learning disabled children every day, and I can't sit by and watch this happen.

Every parent must make the very personal choice of how to feed their baby based on preferences and needs. However, it is imperative that the world clearly convey the many positive benefits of nursing an infant and the US has an obligation to accurately represent this information and always support what is best for babies.
