Stop this channel on youtubeMy nephew stumbled upon a video where people fed live baby animals to their lizards. He was very upset and cried for hours. There was not an age-restriction on the video either. I checked out the channel and the youtuber claimed the channel was educational and child friendly. However nearly every video was someone filming live animals being chased and torn apart by their captive animals. It was very revolting and violent and should not be scene by any child or be allowed on youtube for demonstrating animal cruelty.139 of 200 SignaturesCreated by April leveque

Return governance back to the St.Louis Board of EducationThis petition has been put into effect because the citizens and taxpayers of St. Louis City deserve to have influence on the educational decisions made for St. Louis Public Schools (SLPS). As of June 15, 2007, the State Board of Education disenfranchised the people of St. Louis. This decision led to the St. Louis Board of Education being stripped of the governing duties it once held. Duties of the St. Louis Board of Education have been decreased specifically to auditing and reporting about issues affecting our district. The St. Louis Board of Education are elected by and accountable to taxpayers. The St. Louis Public School District is currently governed by three political appointees, collectively known as the Special Administrative Board (SAB). Duties of the Special Administrative Board include making financial decisions and contract negotiations for the District. The Special Administrative Board are led by their Appointers: the Governor, the Mayor, and the President of the Board of Aldermen. Since the Special Administrative Board's implementation in 2007: • Average of 268 teachers have resigned each year • Approximately 10,000 students have left the district • Many parents feel disconnected and have moved their children to charter/private schools, or to other districts There is no evidence that an appointed board running a school district is more effective than a board elected by voters. The appointed board has no accountability or transparency to taxpayers regarding their decisions being made for SLPS students. Let's put an end to taxation without representation!175 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Susan Turk

Condemn Georgia State Rep. Betty Price's HIV quarantine remarksI'm asking all interested and concerned MoveOn.org members to join me in condemning the incredibly hateful remarks made by Georgia State Rep. Betty Price during a GA House meeting on barriers to health care. In her own shocking words "I don't want to say the quarantine word-but I guess I just said it. Is there an ability, since I would guess that public dollars are expended heavily in prophylaxis and treatment of this condition, so we have a public interest in curtailing the spread... Are there any methods legally that we could do that would curtail the spread? It seems to me it's almost frightening the number of people who are living that are potentially carriers, well they are carriers, with the potential to spread, whereas in the past they died more readily and then at that point they are not posing a risk."541 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Gregg Hamilton

Senator David Perdue: $1,825,006 in debt to the NRA?Senator David Perdue has received $1,825,006 in NRA support. The entire country has watched in horror as terrorists have used legally purchased assault weapons to wage war on innocent citizens. It's time to choose a side.252 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Wayne Langford

Sen. Pat Toomey: End NRA influenceToo many innocent citizens are being murdered by firearms and many of our representatives, including this one, continue to vote against protecting our families. NRA influence puts their profit above our safety and there must be no possible conflict of interest. Rep Toomey's recent votes: *NO on banning high-capacity magazines of over 10 bullets. *YES on prohibiting suing gunmakers & sellers for gun misuse. *YES on decreasing gun waiting period from 3 days to 1. *OPPOSED the United Nations' Arms Trade Treaty. *Rated A by the NRA.4,142 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by April Schmitt

Senators Moran and Roberts Stop Taking Contributions from the NRA!I have been affected by gun violence having had my cousin and her two daughters murdered in a domestic disturbance. My family never truly recovered. I want to see my Senators refuse to be beholden to the NRA and help pass some commonsense gun laws. Please join my petition if you feel strongly about this issue and you are constituents of Senators Moran and Roberts.198 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Mary Elaine Hayes

Tell Trump: Not 1 More Jane Doe!Earlier this month, Jane Doe, a 17 year old refugee risked her life and crossed the border alone seeking refuge in the United States. When she arrived, immigration officials detained her against her will. She soon found out she was pregnant and decided to seek an abortion. The Trump administration stepped in, using every tool at their disposal to force Jane to maintain an unwanted pregnancy. They subjected her to coercive religious counseling and an invasive sonogram. A federal appeals court overturned the administration’s attempts to block her access, but the fight for reproductive freedom for women like Jane is not over. Her case is part of a pattern and policy of denying abortion care to refugee and immigrant women and girls. The man trying to control Jane’s body and her future is a well-known anti-contraception and anti-abortion activist, E. Scott Lloyd, who now oversees Trump’s Office of Refugee Resettlement. With no relevant experience, Lloyd is still in office and has the power to decide the fate of thousands of refugee women like Jane. We can’t let men like Lloyd control our bodies. We know they won't stop at Jane. Add your name to demand access to reproductive health care for all immigrant and refugee women.400 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Ai-jen Poo

SENATOR PATRICK LEAHY : GIVE THE $7000 BACK TO THE NRA!My medical training years ago in the Emergency Room brought me face to face with the victims of gun violence. Today, I am just as distraught as I learn of one mass shooting after another, with men, women, and children--citizens of our country--being senselessly slaughtered. I want to take action somehow and began this petition to our senator requesting that he re-examine his taking of NRA money. Will you join me?127 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Matthew Peake

Representative Dennis Ross took NRA bribe money!Gun violence is a problem in our country, and although it cannot be completely eliminated, steps can be taken that would save many lives in the future. The Las Vegas tragedy is another in a long line of tragic incidents. Reinstituting the federal ban on assault weapons should be a first step. Even Ronald Reagan co-signed a letter urging the U.S. House of Representatives to support a ban on the manufacture of "assault weapons." Why won't Dennis Ross support such a law? According to an article in the American Journal of Medicine, Americans are 10 times more likely to be killed by guns than people in other developed countries. Firearm death rates per 100,000 in the US are 10.2 compared with 1.8 in Norway, 2.8 in France (where most deaths were terrorism related), and 0.6 in Spain. Just because we cannot prevent all gun violence, shouldn’t we try to prevent the 90% that is preventable with new legislation? Dennis Ross has received at least $19,375 from the NRA. The majority of Americans support prevention of gun violence, but instead of common sense legislation, we suffer the tragedies of THE BEST DEMOCRACY THAT MONEY CAN BUY!107 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Katherine Sutherland, MD
