Abdul El-Sayed is a Michigan born and raised physician and public health officer who is running to win the Democratic Party nomination for governor. A long anticipated explicit, xenophobic, Islamophobic, racist attack against Dr. El-Sayed was launched earlier this month. The hate speech did not come from a fringe organization but from Republican candidate for governor Patrick Colbeck. Mr. Colbeck made an unfounded outlandish accusation that Abdul was part of an extremist conspiracy to take over the country. According to Buzzfeed, he made those remarks at an event held by United West. The group has been classified as an “active anti-Muslim group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks the activity of hate organizations. “While it came as no surprise, we didn’t feel any less disgusted,” said Ayman Khafagi, the Vice Chair of the Michigan Democratic Party (MDP) Progressive Caucus. “We believe that the comments are disqualifying and should not be tolerated.” Kelly Collison, the Chair of the MDP Progressive Caucus added: “We believe that we should stand in solidarity and boycott every entity that continues to associate with Mr. Colbeck. Mr. Colbeck and his like should have no place in politics.” The MDP Progressive Caucus condemns the Republican candidate’s remarks and calls upon all political entities to join us in standing up to bigotry.

We feel strongly that USC should set an example of what proper recycling hygiene looks like. It starts with appropriate infrastructure, and we can build up from there with new, creative innovations and solutions.

My petition is about students at volusia county schools not wanting to wear uniforms. Just because they are a few kids who decide to wear things that are "inappropriate" does not mean all students should be punished for it. They think it will solve bullying, but bullies still find a way to bully. They could easily bully someone about buying a walmart polo than a aeropostale. So our clothing shouldn't be the thing that is addressed it should be bullying.

Because AH in the UK refuses to let the parents of Alfie Evan travel to give their son medical care, the Hospital is preventing them from leaving, ensuring their 2-year-old son's death!!!

Having done research into area school districts, we find that Copley is the only school that requires the journaling aspect as part of the PE option.

This Petition is about preserving Amtrak's Network of Long Distance Trains for future generations to enjoy. I am starting this petition for the following two reasons; one, I cannot imagine the United States being the only Major Country in the world that does not have a national Rail Network, and two Amtrak serves a lot of people, some of these people either do not like to fly or cannot fly for a number of reasons. This issue is very important to me because, in 2015 I was in an accident, due to this accident I have Sciatica in my left leg, and lower back pain. Due to this accident I cannot wait in long lines, nor can I fly.

As a woman I need pockets, girls need pockets, can you imagine if men's clothing came with fake pockets?

* Traffic on Mt. Hermon is already congested. * Cars will be idling, emitting pollutants. * Too many drive-through businesses as is * Town Center is supposed to be pedestrian oriented. * There are five coffee places on Mt. Hermon including one Starbucks and Safeway Starbucks kiosk.

Despite some of the most shocking mass shootings in American history, Mike Pence thinks it's a good idea to be a headliner at the NRA's convention in Dallas on May 4. It's scheduled to take place just days after police officers were critically wounded by a suspect at a Home Depot right there in Dallas. It's sad that Pence is so dismissive of the American lives lost in Las Vegas, Sutherland Springs, and Parkland—not to mention the thousands of people killed every month by gun violence. The majority of Americans want politicians to stop gun violence with common sense reforms. But rather than using his platform to advocate for peace and common sense safety, Mike Pence is rewarding extremists in the NRA. Trump, Pence, Ryan, McConnell, and the rest of the GOP seem happy to continue making excuses for gun violence because the NRA throws millions of dollars at their party. Enough! We must hold all politicians to basic standards of decency. Tell Mike Pence to drop out of the NRA's convention and stand with the majority of Americans who want real action to end gun violence.

We're interested in starting this petition because we felt that this would bring another opportunity to express yourself and add something to the culture, here, at Shadow Ridge. If we are allowed this opportunity, it will open doors and be something new, unique, and fun.

As a Jew, I am appalled by Israel's brutal assault on non-violent protesters. I believe that the best hope for peace and security for all is for Israel to end its illegal siege of Gaza and its occupation of the West Bank.

I'm starting this petition because I feel that it is very important for anybody that is plagued by drug addiction to have options if they choose to be sober. At this point in time, Tooele County has very few resources when it comes to rehabilitation. I am wanting to see an inpatient facility that helps addicts without having to have a court order. Recovery needs to be a choice and rehabilitation needs to be readily available and within reach of these people. I would also like to see a detox intake option also. It is very important that addicts who struggle to find help have options and hope to recover from their addictions. There are no centers in the surrounding areas that offer any options for Tooele county residents.
