Horse welfare- Stop the Government agencies-officials from making it impossible for herbalists w...This is to all horse lovers and caretakers in the world. Wouldn't you like to see Natural Remedies be allowed to continue instead of being called or labeled as drugs by the FDA, Government agencies trying to make it impossible both legally and financially for small herbalists, who can make a huge difference in saving horses lives, to operate? Their legislation and regulations around experienced and qualified herbalists, who are actually making a difference to the welfare of animals, is becoming harassing, manipulative and impossible for herbalists to work. We are trying desperately with all the best of intentions, we are not here to take advantage of people with sick horses and animals, we are doing our utmost best to help and heal these beautiful animals when some Veterinarians fail in so many cases, and euthanasia is their answer. This is not always necessary and Government officials in Veterinary departments could make it possible and give the horse owners another option by using natural medicine instead of trying to condemn herbalists. We are not part of Big Pharma and we are genuine people working from our hearts to help these animals who are suffering. They never asked to be born; we are responsible for producing them and yet we are not allowed to honor and respect them in the manner in which they are entitled. They are God's creatures and herbivores and yet they have to live and work for humans in environmental conditions far from suitable for their dietary needs and requirements. Please stop these agencies from making it impossible for herbalists to work, to help, to love and honor horses...74 of 100 Signatures

Petition to save PsychedSubstance on YouTubeYouTube channels promoting harm reduction in regard to substances are being targeted in some sort of attack. These channels are not here to encourage drug use at all. They are "here to provide accurate education and awareness for the safe use of some very "taboo" practices. These are practices that have no place being taboo any longer. The safety of everyone is more important than keeping this ridiculous stigma around." First, these channels became demonetized or got hit with receiving less add revenue (meaning the channel creators earn nearly zero dollars off their uploaded videos, even with 1,000,000+ plus views). However, the creators of these channels value human life and have enough empathy to continue and persevere. Now, however, YouTube is being even stricter towards "controversial" content and has begun deleting, age restricting, and striking these channels. This means these channels are in true danger of being removed, which is a 100% negative thing in all aspects. PsychedSubstance and other creators truly care for the safety of the world and want to educate everyone on the topic of substances, regardless of if they plan on ever using a substance or not. It is made to save people from pain, mental/emotional trauma, and even death. This alone should be enough reason to leave these channels be, and let them continue their mission. Keep in mind the YouTube guidelines are being closely followed and respected by PsychedSubstance; he is not breaking any rules. YouTube, I understand as a company you have the right to remove channels/video's as you please, but as a community, we ask you to please save these channels and allow them to continue, as they have for a while now.

Mistake by the LakeThe Capitol Center Building blocks the majestic public views of Budd Inlet from the State Capitol complex and the southern portion of the Olympia Isthmus. It violates the State of Washington Shoreline Management Act. Additionally, it vitiates the citizens' 2008 petition to establish the Olympia Isthmus Park. A Hearing Examiner for the City of Olympia recently approved a Land Use Approval for an expanded use of the abandoned building. Nonetheless, he concluded the Capitol Center Building ". . . is unattractive and its location is truly unfortunate. In a perfect world, it never would have been constructed, and it could not be constructed today." It is time to purchase what is commonly referred to as the "Mistake by the Lake."84 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert Jensen

Release the House Democratic Intelligence Committee Rebuttal MemoThe truth about Russia’s interference in the 2016 election needs to be known, and Robert Mueller needs to be able to continue his investigation. Donald Trump cannot be allowed to further obstruct justice and the investigation, as he has already done and continues to attempt to on a frequent basis. The public needs to know the truth and cannot only be allowed to see the clearly partisan Nunes Memo, and should be shown the Democratic rebuttal and allowed to judge the information for themselves. Furthermore, Rod Rosenstein’s position as Deputy AG (and overseer of the Mueller investigation) should not be placed in jeopardy due to partisan lies, misinformation and things taken out of context, as set forth in the Nunes Memo.69 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Justin Leshynski

We Want a Fracking Ban in FloridaFracking for oil and gas has led to drinking water contamination, toxic air pollution, and serious health impacts in states across the country. If Florida were to allow this new, more invasive drilling in our state, we'd be putting our groundwater and our public health at risk. That's why 90 communities, including 30 counties, have passed local measures against fracking. But to truly protect our beautiful state, we need a statewide ban. It's time the Legislature listened to the people of Florida and got the job done. A bill that would ban fracking in the Sunshine State has strong support in the Senate, but we need House members to act now too! Floridians deserve better than fracking. Demand that your legislators pass the fracking ban bill (HB 237/SB 462) in 2018.65 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Miranda Carter, Food & Water Watch

Jeff Sessions Motion of No ConfidenceOn 02/12/2018, Jeff Sessions did in fact make the following statement during a speech to the National Sheriff’s Association: "Since our founding, the independently elected sheriff has been the people's protector, who keeps law enforcement close to and accountable to people through the elected process," he said at the organization's winter conference. "The office of sheriff is a critical part of the Anglo-American heritage of law enforcement. We must never erode this historic office." There is no way possible for a man with these belief sets to be able to fairly preside over an office as his. These are attacks aimed directly at people of color of the United States and therefore I think a Motion of No Confidence is warranted. A motion of no confidence (alternatively vote of no confidence, no-confidence motion, or (unsuccessful) confidence motion) is a statement or vote which states that a person(s) in a position of responsibility (government, managerial, etc.) is no longer deemed fit to hold that position, perhaps because they are inadequate in some respect, are failing to carry out obligations, or are making decisions that other members feel are detrimental. As a parliamentary motion, it demonstrates to the head of state that the elected parliament no longer has confidence in (one or more members of) the appointed government. A censure motion is different from a no-confidence motion. Depending on the constitution of the body concerned, "No Confidence" may lead to compulsory resignation of the council of ministers or other position-holder(s), whereas "Censure" is meant to show disapproval and does not result in the resignation of ministers. The censure motion can be against an individual minister or a group of ministers, but the no-confidence motion is directed against the entire cabinet. Again, depending on the applicable rules, censure motions may need to state the reasons for the motion while no-confidence motions may not require reasons to be specified. These are attacks aimed directly at people of color of the United States and therefore I think such a vote is warranted.95 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Watkins

Ban Traveling Elephant Acts in OhioI am starting this petition because it is unethical to keep elephants in trailers or on chains, thus depriving them of their biological needs to socialize and physical needs to exercise (in the wild elephants live in large groups of up to 100 elephants and have been known to mourn the loss of a member for days, they also typically walk 40 miles each day which is crucial to their health and longevity). Elephants have to be "broken" in order to work for humans; the use of bull hooks, electric shocks, food deprivation, and other forms of abuse cause extreme physical and emotion damage on these beautiful creatures. I have personally seen elephants chained to trailers while waiting to perform in 90+ degree heat without any shelter or water for hours while standing in their own waste. I have also seen the wounds and scars on these elephants casued by years of being repeatedly beat, shocked, and tormented. Ohio is better than this, let's join Illinois and ban traveling elephant acts in our state!415 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Kelly Ohlsen
