I'm a local organizer with Tax March, and MfS has actively created conflict with our progressive organization by co-opting tax weekend and telling their local organizers not to work with Tax March organizers because we are working against the Trump Administration. Tax March is held on the one highly symbolic weekend of the year, whereas MfS is simply moving their event to a different weekend this year. Tax March has been active year round with the annual tax marches, #NotOnePenny and #RepealTheTrumpTax campaigns. We have been constantly advocating for social justice through a fairer tax code, and tax weekend is our biggest mobilization event of the year. I want MfS to respect our weekend, and either go back to their original weekend or choose another weekend that is not in conflict with a major progressive event around the country. I'm starting this petition as an individual community organizer who has organized and participated in dozens of local events and who marched in the 2017 MfS in my community.

As a Beekeeper for many years, I have rescued many colonies before they were about to be killed. Unfortunately, there are many that have been gassed or sprayed. Honey Bees are often mistaken for yellow jackets. I have had pest control companies supposedly mistake them for yellow jackets as well. Maybe that is an easy excuse for charging their $500-$700 fee. The Pest Control Companies leave all the contaminated comb and honey in the wall or ceiling. When the next colony swarms in, they already have problems. Many Homeowners come home and see a harmless football size swarm and spray them. Yes, this makes the bees angry. DONT EVER SPRAY A SWARM! Call a beekeeper and we will come free of charge. With all the protected wildlife out there I am outraged that the most important pollinators are not. Please help me in my quest to make it Illegal and more difficult to kill them. At the least, let's get a law that requires Identification before spraying. You can send a pic of a bee to any Beekeeper and they will identify the species for free!!

I am starting this petition because we need to quit cutting CHIP, Medicare, Medicaid, ACA, and all the other things that benefit the poor, elderly, children, and disabled. The rich don't need cuts. The businesses don't make new jobs. The poor just live on the street, get hungry, and die. The rich don't need a second home and a new car. Those less fortunate need basics.

Ok Im going to be real with you all. My man Matthew Ward has done 8 years so far on a drug charge, marijuana actually. A non violent crime, mind you, on a drug which is legal or soon to be legal in a ton of states. Now dont get me wrong some time or rehab would have been more reasonable at least then he could have a chance and learn. What will locking him up for 11 years do for him beside teach him how to be a real criminal, not to mention the excessive sentencing. His projected release date isnt until September of 2020. He has gone up for parole every year with no such luck. We just went up at the end of February. They denied his parole for his past...they didn't see any of the hard work he did before the hearing. 14 months no trouble as of December...and he would still be on a streak if it wasnt for the cop that was harassing him. Every time he even looked her way, even if she is speaking to him, she would try and charge him. Many saw this and every time the charges were dropped. Well right before he left the last prison she made sure she went in for the charge again...because he wouldn't get shipped to where he was supposed to and he couldn't fight it because he was then at a different prison where no one knew what had happened. The assistant warden at his new prison was trying to have the book thrown at him...They brought up his affiliation with a gang. I totally get where they have a problem with this....(however most people do while in there for safety. He explains to the parole board that, that is not the case anymore and that he graduated from the step down program, got his GED and he is really trying to do everything to change and be a good person, he just wants to get the chance at freedom and prove to them that this isnt how he wants his life to be. He was basically a kid when he went in. I dont know if this petition will even make it anywhere but I have to try. Please let him back into society. He has so much support especially from his mama and myself.

Getting humanitarian crisis aid and protection of human rights into Puerto Rico is needed immediately, as FEMA is leaving the island very soon. Food, water supply, and aid distribution will be cut off. This is a human rights violation and it’s a humanitarian issue. We need to request the protection of the citizens of Puerto Rico. They are Americans. Mass genocide and erasing their culture is also a crime. I am Puerto Rican, this island is my second home, our roots are all there. My father Teddy Torres’ legacy as a foremost guitarist and creator of a seminal genre of music needs preserving for our children and grandchildren; he is part of the island’s diaspora. He was a veteran hiding in a Korean jungle for 3 days under a pile of dead bodies, waiting for rescue. In the Army, he served two Korean tours. He was also a part of the island’s musical and cultural history, a native of Caguas. I need this part of our lineage preserved. It is essential to me, my family, as are our customs, culture, and way of life. They are our greatest treasures. We want a free, healthy, thriving Puerto Rico restored. Help me save Puerto Rico.

We want to watch the movie; my guy it isn't racist (see comments).

The superintendent's short-sighted decisions regarding destroying a special education schools location and giving it to richer gifted students show his utter lack of respect for the students, parents, and community as a whole. We ask that all stand against this inequitable decision and support the unsupported students that can’t speak for themselves.

I believe that the fiscally and morally responsible solution to the health care crisis we are facing in this country is a system that is driven not by profits, but by the premise that affordable health care is a basic right for all Americans. Everyone in this state, everyone in this country deserves the right to basic health care, and we should ensure this is a reality in Florida by adopting a Medicare-for-All healthcare system. Add your name to show your support for affordable quality healthcare.

The House Intelligence Committee just voted along party lines to release the so-called “Nunes memo” -- a document drafted at the direction of the committee’s chairman, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA). Many who have seen the memo say it gets basic facts wrong, cherrypicks information and has absolutely zero credibility. This memo is just the latest in a long string of attempts by Republicans in Congress to undermine and smear Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Donald Trump and Russian election meddling. It’s especially telling that during last night’s partisan vote, Committee Republicans blocked release of the Democratic members’ memo which rebuts Nunes' claims. We cannot afford to let this become a partisan fight -- our democracy was attacked and Americans deserve the full truth. We can't allow Devin Nunes to continue spreading unfounded innuendo about the Russia probe to undermine its credibility as Mueller investigates the President for obstruction of justice. Please speak out and pressure Speaker Paul Ryan to remove Nunes from participating in the Russia investigation.

I had no insurance when I was diagnosed with cancer six years ago; luckily I was hooked up with Nashville General Hospital and their exceptional and caring staff. At every level, they put the patient first. What other hospital in Nashville is going to treat indigent patients with such understanding? I bet none. Does the hospital lose money? Not as much as TN has by refusing to accept Expanded Medicaid.
