Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) recently investigated a pig farm in Ontario and found mother pigs confined so tightly they could not turn around and were forced to lay in their own waste. They also found female pigs with horrific prolapses and baby piglets who were dead and dying. Many piglets were discarded like garbage. While investigating the farm, the activists rescued Noel, a piglet who was in need of medical care. They rushed him to the vet and to sanctuary where he was nursed back to health and now lives safe, happy and free. While Noel is now safe, the activists had to leave thousands of pigs behind. A complaint was submitted to the Ontario SPCA, citing extreme animal cruelty, but no action was taken. Sign the petition and ask the OSPCA to act now!

Senator Corker just announced that he did not read the specific clauses of the new tax bill which benefit him financially. I want to know that every single member of Congress, especially those who stand to benefit from tax cuts and/or tax increases on American citizens has read the tax bill in its entirety and is held responsible for every single section of that bill before it becomes the law of the land, and is in effect for many years.

Our country is being devastated by an opioid crisis while our duly elected Republican congressmen accept bribes to pass laws protecting the pharmacutical companies from DEA enforcement.

I work at a cat and dog rescue and the amount of dogs that get surrendered because of their owners moving, I feel is unnecessary and cruel. Also, I feel like - no I know that - so many more dogs could find their forever homes IF they had a fair chance and not automatically denied because of their certain breed! There are over 14 different dog breed restrictions for housing. Please help!

The Organic Livestock and Poultry Practices rule is an important step in both humane agricultural standards and informed organic labelling. Consumers deserve accurate information, and measures to minimize animal cruelty must be in place.

Kentucky Resident's ONLY and Please ONLY Sign Once. We Are Grateful To Those That SHARE This Petition!!! Kinship Care is about keeping children (who have been removed from their homes) with familial connections and keeping them out of foster care. There are approximately 70,000 children in Kentucky living with relatives and most are (grandparents). Kentucky has twice the rate of drug-dependent babies than the U.S. Oftentimes, those babies are placed with relatives (Kinship Caregivers) other than the parents. Many Kinship Caregivers have one adult in the home quit their job to care for drug-dependent babies because they require so much extra assistance. We Need Your Help To Reinstate Kinship Care To Help Grandparents Support These Children! You Should Be a Kentucky Resident. First and Last name makes a stronger impression!

The tax bill now before Congress will touch upon every facet of our lives. The changes it will bring about are profound and deep. This is good governance and avoids any possible conflict of interest thus ensuring the people’s interest are the top priority.

Our daughter-in-law has family in Puerto Rico and she has told us how some of them have lost their homes, their livelihood, and their hope for the future.

The TF rank on CC not going on sale along with everything else on the website has personally affected me. It made me very upset, I feel lied to I need some support. The deadline for 500 signatures is by Christmas, DEC. 25 2017

I grew up in the historic home at 315 East Glen Avenue, which was built in the early 1830s and shares many original architectural and decorative details with the Hermitage and Hohokus Inn (woodwork, moldings, floors, banisters, windows etc.) It has a fascinating history with residents including the actor Edwin Boothe, and was reputed to have been a part of the Underground Railroad. A woman named Miss Colie lived there during the Depression who was supposed to distribute flour and sugar as a part of the WPA program, but she ended up committing suicide in the garage when she was found to have stolen the supplies. Aside from the beauty, history and trees/landscaping that would be lost forever with the destruction of this home, the variances requested create issues for the town and neighborhood including: - non-conformance of buildable and usable square footage to other homes in the area - water collection, drainage and flood prevention given the reduction of trees and grass due to additional paving proposed and requirements for running of utility lines - access and safety of additional cars from secondary home - non-conformance of variances for a home to be set back and sideways - non-conformance to expand pathway to 20 ft, (currently no examples in town) Please join us in opposing the variances that would allow this home to be destroyed and help us to save this historic home for future generations to enjoy as a part of the varied architectural and historic tapestry that make up our community! Thank you for your support!!

Because Merrill may drag his feet and delay Jones's seating the U.S. Senate when it is vital Jones be there, if at all possible, to help scuttle the present tax proposal by the GOP.

Not only does this Tax Scam transfer wealth to the already wealthy, undermine health care and the environment, but, as Senator Rubio said, it also creates a rationale for future cuts to Medicare and Social Security. Appealing to Republicans to vote against this has not worked. Perhaps letting them know that their Tax Scam will have the unintended consequence of raising vast amounts of money to get them out of office may cause them to think about the long-term effects of this bill on their futures, even if it does not prevent passage of this scam.
