As a fellow Native American Indian, I understand the struggles to be recognized in a world that refers to you as past tense, history. The Wolf Creek Cherokee tribe in Henrico County outside of Richmond, VA, continue a legacy of culture and heritage that was nearly wiped from this land and they deserve to be recognized for their continual efforts to restore and maintain their cultural heritage.

At least eight women came forward saying Roy Moore sexually harassed or assaulted them--including those who were under 18 at the time--one woman who says she was 14 years old when Roy Moore took her to his house, took her clothes off, and initiated sexual conduct. At first the RNC cut ties—yet after just several days, they resumed full support including funding for his campaign. Donald Trump campaigned for him. I'm from Minnesota originally, and as much as it broke my heart to see Senator Franken resign over allegations of inappropriate conduct, I know there should be no partisan line when it comes to holding our esteemed elected officials to a high standard. These elected officials are accountable to us—the people! Surely, we can all agree serious and credible allegations from victims of sexual violence should be taken into consideration before propping up people like Roy Moore as the face of the Republican party. Tell the Republican Party to commit to stop funding accused pedophiles and sexual assaulters in the future.

I know the tragedy of these wars because as a therapist I have tried to help young vets with PTSD. They struggle every day to forget the things they did and witnessed. More vets have committed suicide during or after these wars than even Vietnam. There are no clear objectives or they change sporadically, it's almost impossible to distinguish between innocent civilians & Muslim extremists. We aren't shown how bad it is there, we aren't told how horrifically our soldiers are tortured when they're captured, we don't know how traumatized they are about the things they were ordered to do. And they will never be the same.

On October 20th, Jose Bedoya got word that six people who swam at the pool had a combination of symptoms related to heavy air and pool deterioration. Bedoya reported the situation with the Parks and Rec Department and with the Aquatic Programs authorities. After supposedly cleaning the pool, Bedoya returned to work. On October 27th, however, East Haven Mayor Joseph Maturo stopped by the pool and confronted Jose for insistently denouncing the situation, going as far as pushing him and calling the police on him in front of multiple eyewitnesses. After internal pressure from the Mayor, Jose Bedoya’s contract was terminated in early December without any explanation. Jose Bedoya is a beloved member of the community who has taught numerous swimming classes for children, families, and the elderly. He also worked with East Haven High School’s female swimming team and organized the only underwater polo team in the state of Connecticut. Please sign this petition in support of Jose Bedoya so that he be reinstated at once.

I am disable since birth, marijuana has helped SO much with my cronic pain. Why hand out pain medication that is addictive and killing people? It's not right. Please help make this legal for everyone in pain or fighting serious health issues.

My husband and I were recently advised that our landlord was not going to renew our lease all of a sudden after 4 years. We had an issue just three weeks earlier with our car being illegally towed from our parking spot . We contacted the apartments at crystal lake at 3801 Crystal Lake Drive Pompano Beach FL Who is owned by CJM properties in Canada and was advised that we were not going to be reimbursed for the towing fee of 150.00. I contacted CJM Properties via twitter and facebook and the next day we got the 150.00 back, I believe that the owners of these apartment complexes should be forced to provide a good reason for not renewing the lease if the tenant did not violate any terms of the lease. The complexes should have to provide written proof such as if the building is being torn down. Failure to enforce this petition allows the landlord to make up a reason or give no reason thus they can throw a tenant out for retaliation but it becomes difficult to prove. I believe that the tenant rights need to be improved. So with that being said the law needs to state that if the tenant did not violate any terms of the lease, written proof needs to be provided. Cjm Properties and the apartments and crystal lake retaliated against us and throughout a disabled person with cancer

This is something I feel very strongly about and have worked on to resolve. Recent computing technologies allow for corrections of mathematical flaws in the calculation of interest which can be applied . These are solutions which can protect lender funds, family's dignity and maintain the standards and ideals of what the American quality of life should be.

We ask our district to review bullying policies, including the current practice of removing the victim from school, rather than the perpetrator. Bullies are given multiple chances to change their behavior, which contradicts the “zero tolerance” policy supposedly in effect. Our children are victimized a second time when they are yanked from their classes, forced to make all new friends at a new school. Because of social media, moving across town to a new school does not protect them, as bullies launch online campaigns aimed at further victimizing the intended target. There are laws intended to protect people from discrimination based on their gender or sexual orientation. It should not take a physical attack to spark change in our schools.

Across this country there have been laws passed in cities and legislatures outlawing aggressive panhandling and introducing urban camping laws. We shouldn't be throwing people in jail because they have no home or are poor. We should help them get off the streets not making it worse for them.

Roy Moore should not be allowed to be a senator if it is indeed true that he dated girls under 18 when he was 32. There is an allegation of him pursuing a 14 year old girl and evidence would suggest that is indeed pedophilia. Furthermore, Roy Moore has publicly lied to the people of Alabama regarding this behavior.

I have been personally affected by Jackie not living in Austin. And I am FED UP!

Recently a woman named Kimberly Jones posted a video of her son Keaton sharing a beautiful message about bullying. In the heartbreaking video, he details traumatizing treatment from school bullies and follows with a message of compassion and tolerance. Everyone who watched the video was moved and it quickly went viral. Among those who saw the video were stars like Rihanna, Dana White, Chris Evans, and MMA Artist Joe Schilling, who all reached out with donations, words of encouragement and meet and greet offers among other things. Sounds like a happy ending to a super sad tale, but things got strange when Joe Schilling got in touch with Kimberly Jones, who turned down an offer to fly the family to LA to meet Schilling and asked instead that he share their gofundme page, stating that she needed the money for the holidays. (58k is the current total) If you are like me, the idea of exploiting your sobbing child for money makes you sick. I cannot fathom what would make someone do that.. My heart hurts for Keaton because I know the internet is a terrible place full of bullies just like the ones he goes to school with (and the one who raised him) and I know that his mother's actions will hurt him worse than anything they could ever do. I am sad for this boy because of stories I am hearing about the prejudice in his home, and the things he is being taught to say and do by his parents and by some of the kids at his school. But one thing about this story is still good. $58,000 were raised for this boy, he seems to have a giant heart, and he was able to feel an outpouring of support and know how special and loved he is. What I am proposing today is that we protect Keaton from his mother's exploitation and ensure that he learns to be a great person and kind and successful member of society. I believe if we all pull together, we can get gofundme to list Keaton Jones as the sole beneficiary of the donated funds and make them available to him on his 18th birthday (not sure how the site works but I'm sure if they pay out via check they can post-date it)--that way he can pursue a college education, get a career, and make a true difference in the world, without being stuck in the mindset of those who find it appropriate to bully or manipulate others. Please join me in fighting for his future, a future without ignorance, hate or ill intent.
