I have been an activist out here for years, and people know and are scared for their families if they come forth and tell what they know. These people get killed, children hurt, and the victims of murdered people have experienced this over and over again with losing more family members due to retaliation because of discoveries. It's a mother out here now where her child was killed in a drive-by. Now the family of the one who committed the murder has retaliated and almost killed again. Please help stop all this bloodshed. Thanks

Many men are acknowledging and being held accountable for sexual improprieties. A number of women have accused our President of past abuses which he has neither acknowledged nor been held accountable for.

Path points need to go.

Media and technology have become commonplace in all areas of our lives. In our classrooms, students must learn how to safely, ethically, responsibly, and effectively use media and technology resources.

Gun homicides in Mexico this year are the highest on record. Yet: • U.S. legal gun exports to the Mexican military, which distributes guns to state and local police, are nearly ten times what they were in 2001-2004; • the State Department licensed $266 million worth of gun sales by the U.S. gun producer Sig Sauer to the Mexican military; and • the Mexican Army sells guns to police with no verifiable mechanisms to track U.S. firearm shipments. As a result, U.S. companies have exported assault weapons to police that violate human rights and collude with organized crime, including police who attacked and disappeared 43 students from Ayotzinapa. The two major earthquakes that shook Mexico in September caused billions of dollars in damages to homes, businesses, and infrastructure. Two hundred fifty thousand Mexicans lost their homes. U.S.-Mexico trade should benefit the majority of people in both countries, not arm forces that are destroying families and causing them to flee in search of refuge. The United States must stop weapons exports to end users in the Mexican military and police for whom there is documentation of collusion with organized crime or commission of gross human rights violations, until they have been brought to justice.

I'm petitioning for Too Short's last album to be a revisit to his roots. I want that funk, I need that funk. Somebody put an APB out for Shorty B and PeeWee, somebody tell Ant Banks to bring his big bad ass back round. We getting the gang back together for one more extended funk session...

Justice above all things. America can only remain great if it is just.

On Dec. 14, 2017 a decision could be made that would crush our right to choose what we read and /or discuss in this country. Every law or rule that has kept Americans informed and free is under attack. This change to internet rules will destroy the last vestige of free speech. Don't be fooled by the new tactic of using the private sector to impose censorship. Sign this petition or be forever in the dark...alone.

It's unconscionable that slave traffickers in Libya are enslaving, abusing, raping and killing West African migrants we must do whatever we can to help these migrants they are human beings and they deserve better

There are over 6500 Special Ed students within Henrico County Public School District today, and a large number of them have difficulty reading. Structured Language reading instruction isn't something most teachers learn as part of their college curriculum, and it's not part of getting a license to teach. Our schools need a highly qualified Dyslexia Advisor to bring systemic improvements to programming and the professional development of our dedicated teachers. Did you know... IQ has no correlation with dyslexia. Many students with dyslexia are smart, even gifted in some areas. They can learn and reach their potential if appropriate instructional methods are used. Providing a FT Dyslexia Advisor is a smart use of tax dollars. A Dyslexia Advisor can help students avoid negative outcomes such as drop out, court-involvement, underemployment/unemployment, and reliance on welfare programs in the future.

Someone had me falsely arrested for domestic violence and went on to use the court system and child protective services to deprive me of my children with the help of child protective services falsifying documents to make unfounded and untrue allegations stand in court.

Like falling dominoes, the accusers of movie mogul Harvey Weinstein trained a cascading spotlight on sexual predators. But it was Anita Hill who lifted the covers 26 years ago, bringing daylight to this rampant abuse. Anita Hill risked her reputation and personal standing to expose your vile and perverted behavior. She courageously took a stand for justice. In return, you got a seat for a lifetime. Today, justice is overdue for the undersigned petitioners – those who remember and a new generation then unborn. We who lived through your confirmation process believed Anita Hill then and we believe her now. We are also certain she was not alone. Where there is one target of abuse, for serial predators like you, there are many. The pattern and practice is to exact control, not because you desire, but simply because you can. The truth about your misconduct cannot be erased. Although the all-male Senate panel shut down the debate in 1991, those voices that attempted to surface won’t be muffled in 2017. The senators who were complicit in the shameful cover-up surely owe the nation an apology. For you, Clarence Thomas, no apology is enough. Just resign. Public scrutiny and public accountability have no statute of limitation. Decades have lapsed but the public trust still demands action. You were given a pass that has now expired. Your indignant denials, under oath before Congress, were perjury and grounds for your removal from the bench. Resign now to save the nation the wrenching turmoil of impeachment hearings. We also call on your victims – before and after Anita Hill – to come forward, join us and speak out. They won’t be muzzled or rebuked. You’ve enjoyed your day in court for 26 years: Now it’s time for the women who survived your perversions to have theirs. We stand with them in the court of public opinion. From Hollywood to Alabama, from Fox News to NPR, from the halls of Congress to the stage of comedians, widespread sexual abuse is exposing a corrupt power dynamic. But none of those men enjoy the consequential measure and impact that you wield from your perch on the U.S. Supreme Court. Your influence in shaping laws, lives and untold practices, today and in the future, is far-reaching. Your damaging misconduct on and off the bench has been unchecked. You are unfit to serve. It’s time to account. Since 1991 justice has been delayed, but it can no longer be denied. Clarence Thomas: Resign.
