Someone very close to me was violently raped and because the perpetrator got an attorney, he wasn't investigated at all. The rape kit is just sitting there, untested, and we are left picking up the pieces. I've spoken to many victims of rape who have been treated like they were the ones who were guilty while the perpetrators were treated with respect. I thought those days were over! Shame on Idaho and the Boise Police Department. These women want and need JUSTICE.

San Francisco just became the first major US city to ban fur! This is the precedent we need to take the fur ban global, and other cities and countries are already discussing passing this progressive law. Let's show support from around the world for a fur ban in the UK!

Parents and certain teachers have created issues within the McClave School District and presented requests/demands to the Board of Education. We would like to show our support of the current Administration and staff that have been the target of those demands/complaints.

On at least two occasions, President Trump has threatened to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russian involvement in the 2016 election and related matters. Earlier this week, after the FBI obtained and executed a warrant to search the office and premises of Michael Cohen — Trump’s personal lawyer — Trump had a public tantrum in which he called the investigation “an attack on our country” and mused about firing Mueller. Amidst all the drama, one thing is certain: The President cannot be permitted to fire an independent investigator simply because the investigator is looking into allegations of misconduct by the president himself, or those close to him. That’s the pathway to authoritarian rule. The bipartisan Special Counsel Independence and Integrity Act would protect Mueller’s investigation and enable him to follow the evidence wherever it leads.

I am a citizen of North Carolina and I abhor the idea that my state is represented in the US Hall of Statuary by a white supremacist.

On February 2, 2018, Our adult son was hit by a car. When emergency ems and law enforcement arrived he was able to talk and the report made by the law officer said he had non-life threatening injuries. The officer came to our house and told us what happened and stated in his report non-life threatening injuries. When we arrived at the hospital he was on a stretcher and he had no neck or back brace on and he was no longer able to talk. I feel because they thought he was not hurt that bad, they failed to put a collar and brace his back, resulting in making the injury worse! He was completely paralyzed and he could not talk he was on a respirator, until I consented on February 11, 2018, for the doctor to remove it and he died in my arms!

Here in Delaware, our General Assembly is on the precipice of passing common sense reforms to prevent gun violence, but we need your help. We can't let the voices of a clear majority be drowned out by a loud few who oppose any and all gun violence legislation. We need to make sure our governor and the General Assembly know that Delawareans stand with our fellow Americans on these critical reforms.

In the current age more and more people rely on cell or mobile phones as a primary means of communication. The area bounded by St Clair Road, Route 271/Menoher Boulevard and as far out as Fender Lane have extremely little if any coverage at all. Consumers are forced to purchase boosters for their households. Recent school shootings highlight the need for cell phone coverage. Coverage at the Westmont Hilltop High School both in and outdoor is almost non existent. The four major cell phone companies, AT&T, SPRINT, VERIZON and T-MOBILE all claim to provide coverage in the area. The purpose of the petition is to hold these companies accountable for the service consumers are paying for, and not receiving.

President Trump said he would treat our nation’s Dreamers "with heart" and that they have "nothing to worry about," but his administration barred DACA recipient Marco Villada from re-entering the United States, despite assuring him that he would be able to come back home after obtaining his visa in Mexico. Marco has lived nearly his entire life in California and did everything the government asked of him to adjust his immigration status. Despite that, Marco is currently stranded in Mexico, away from his husband, family, and community in Los Angeles — the only place he knows as home. Barring Marco from the United States goes against everything our country should stand for. #BringMarcoBack

The use of the power of eminent domain to seize private citizens' property to serve corporate interests is wrong. A public purpose must be defined as something more than increasing tax revenues. This has led to abuse by private companies, such as the energy companies seizing private property to put in things such as gas transmission lines to benefit only themselves. Protect our right to the undisturbed ownership of property owned by individual citizens! I am starting this petition because my property is being taken for a gas pipeline operated purely for profit. There is not even a guarantee that the gas will be used in the US! This is just plain wrong, and the Supreme Court decision supporting this needs to be addressed by a law or Constitutional Amendment that stops this abuse.

Many decent Israeli teens—drafted into the Israeli army—have been ordered  to shoot into crowds of unarmed civilian Gazans protesters. Following these orders is a violation of international law and human rights, and might be punishable decades from now in light of the many Gazans who have already been killed or wounded, yet refusing an order from their superior officers would likely result in being jailed by the Israeli military. These soldiers should not be placed in this situation, and nonviolent protesters should not be met with lethal force. The massacre of unarmed Palestinians living in Gaza is a violation of international law and universally accepted standards of human rights. B'tselem, the Israeli Human Rights organization, has called upon Israelis to recognize that they have an obligation in International Law to reject the orders of superiors that tell them to shoot into crowds of unarmed civilians, even if a handful of those civilians take provocative actions like attempting to cut down the border fence or burn tires or even throw Molotov cocktails at the well-armed Israeli soldiers (though most of those killed and the thousands who have been wounded by Israeli guns in this latest outburst of violence did none of these things).
