There is no place for terrorism in this world whether international or domestic. It is time to stand up and condemn the hatred, bigotry, and violence that these groups have been displaying for decades. This homegrown terrorism must be stopped in the United States of America.

President Trump's words were too little, too late. He vowed to unite the country but continues to employ divisive people to advise him and speak for him. This action will put meaning behind his words denouncing hate and will go a long way in making amends to the majority of Americans while making alt-right, neo-Nazis and white supremacists realize their views are not welcome in our America.

The recent actions and statements by President Trump are having a dangerous effect on this country as it pertains to foreign affairs, national defense and on the overall activities of the Government of the United States. He has put this country's safety and general well-being in serious jeopardy. His seemingly irrational behavior show every indication that this man is simply not emotionally stable and Congress needs to act to protect this country and the world from any actions that may provoke others to take actions that threaten our nation and may ultimately cause a Nuclear disaster. For this reason and others it is of the utmost importance that any necessary actions to cause his removal should begin immediately as it pertains to our Constitution under the 25th Amendment , Section 4.

The past and continued words and actions of Steve Bannon, Sebastian Gorka, and Stephen Miller are a stark violation of the values stated in our founding documents and all to which we must aspire as a nation. Their very presence in the White House is an affront to all Americans. The surge in hateful violence by white supremacist terrorists is fueled by the presence of these men in the halls of power. Members of Congress must call for their immediate removal.

After the heinous acts of hatred we have seen this past weekend, the White House can no longer passively condone white supremacists by harboring Steve Bannon, a hatemonger, in its ranks.

As the granddaughter of Jewish immigrants I am appalled and scared at the failure of elected officials to condemn hate groups unequivocally. Our president uses his power to support and embolden white supremacists -- he speaks on their behalf; he hires them as his closest advisors. Lee Zeldin, while claiming to be a "proud Jew" and sitting on the US Holocaust Memorial Council, takes his every cue from the president. In the wake of Charlottesville, Zeldin delayed in calling white supremacist groups by name and still refuses to identify them as the cause of the violence, continuing to claim that both "sides" are to blame, even when one of those sides is Nazis! The Republican Jewish Coalition and the Rabbinical Council of America have rightly condemned the president for his lack of moral leadership. But not Zeldin. He stands by every one of our president's misguided twists and turns. In doing so, Zeldin is making America less safe for Jews, other marginalized groups, and those who are fighting to protect our Democracy and democratic values. We need the USHMC to stand up for what is right and fulfill its purpose to help ensure that "never again" is not just a slogan.

Twenty-five million gallons of highly explosive butane gas (three-mile blast radius) is being stored by Plains All American Pipeline /Rancho LPG LLC on the back doorsteps of neighborhoods, schools, and shopping centers, in the LA Harbor Area. The tanks were built in 1973 "without permitting" and sit within mere feet of the Palos Verdes Fault (potential earthquake magnitude 7.3). They would not be sited there today with the knowledge we have gained since 1973. PLEASE TELL THE STATE LANDS COMMISSION: to complete a "Comprehensive Risk Analysis" to determine that the operation is "safe" for its location. Also, for the State Lands Commission to establish that any disastrous event stemming from this site is insured commensurate with the potential resulting damages. Thank you for signing this petition!

No one should stay neutral in the face of legitimizing overt bigotry in our country!

***** August 16, 2017 UPDATE TO PETITION***** Since we started this petition on August 14, 2017, we have gotten an incredible response from the Decatur and DeKalb communities, with over 1,200 signatures in less than 24 hours. We have also heard from several city, county, and state leaders. From Decatur officials, we have heard DeKalb County owns and maintains the monument, and thus the City cannot remove it. From DeKalb County officials, we have heard that state law OCGA 50-3-1(b)(2) prohibits the removal of such monuments, and thus the County cannot remove it. From State Representative Howard Mosby and State Senator Elena Parent, we have heard that there is little prospect for amending or repealing this law in the state legislature, and thus there is no foreseeable way for removing the monument. These responses are not acceptable. The monument can and must be removed. Why should we remove the confederate monument? The Confederate monument opposes the values of Decatur and DeKalb citizens. We are a diverse and inclusive community, but this monument reveres white supremacy and the enslavement of African Americans. Children of color look up at this monument daily, seeing a symbol of an ideology that stripped their rights as citizens and dignity as humans. The monument was erected 42 years after the Civil War in order to celebrate the atrocities of the Jim Crow South. It has no place in our square today. How can we remove the confederate monument? OCGA 50-3-1(b)(2) allows for “appropriate measures for the preservation, protection, and interpretation of such monuments.” Recent acts against confederate memorials in Piedmont Park and Durham, North Carolina give DeKalb County clear justification to use this “appropriate measures” provision to relocate the Decatur confederate monument. Further, as Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh noted in her statement regarding the removal of confederate statues in Baltimore, these types of monuments are a threat to public safety. We also do not want white supremacists and neo-nazis coming into the City of Decatur inciting violence and harming our diverse citizenry We demand that DeKalb County take this action immediately. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original Petition from August 14, 2017: We the citizens of Decatur and DeKalb County Georgia want the "Lost Cause" Confederate Memorial removed from downtown Decatur Square (behind the historic courthouse). The memorial was erected in 1908 at the height of Jim Crow laws in Georgia. Lynchings were routine in Georgia, occurring at a rate of at least once a month. Two years prior, in 1906, African-Americans were hung from lamp posts during the “Atlanta Race Riot,” which was a riot consisting of white people terrorizing and brutalizing black people. The statue refers to those listed on the monument as a "covenant keeping race" and thus, the statue serves as a shrine to white supremacists like those we saw in Charlottesville. If the City of Decatur and DeKalb County truly value diversity, then both entities will listen to its citizens and fight vigorously for the removal of this monument. Please sign below so our representatives can see all our signatures. Our community, our city, does not want this tribute to slavery and Jim Crow encroaching on our space. We recognize that this will not be an easy process. After seeing our signatures, we hope that our representatives will get to work on repealing and/or amending O.C.G.A 50-3-1 (b)(2) which prohibits the removal of such monuments. Once that process is complete, cities across the state of Georgia can determine for themselves whether these confederate memorials are appropriate for their public spaces. By signing this petition, you are saying there is no space for hate, racism, white supremacy, and bigotry in the City of Decatur. ** Please feel free to sign even if you do not live in Decatur or DeKalb County because this action requires a change in Georgia law so we want all representatives in the State House and Senate to hear our voices ***

Trump and his administration openly praise terrorist & dictators regularly! with Trump on record as quoting Benito Mussolini and Hitler. They are openly white supremacist, even going as far as encouraging events like what happened in Charlottesville! During Trump's run for president, he even told his supporters in a televised rally to "Beat the crap" out of those who didn't support him! At the same rally as well as many others, Trump encouraged his supporters to salute him using the Nazi salute that was commonly used by Hitler's supporters! Trump and his administration support terrorists and ARE terrorists and MUST be removed from power NOW before it's too late!

We believe for things to change in this country laws need to pass. Attitudes have changed (for the most part) it is time for laws to follow to end gender inequality in our nation!

Nonhuman animals are violently abused and slaughtered in the dairy and egg industries. Bees are killed in great numbers and are deprived of their food source (honey). Any individual exploited for their milk, eggs, or honey deserves moral consideration just as we provide for other human and nonhuman animals. At City O' City, every menu item, except for two, are animal-friendly or can be made animal-friendly. We are asking the restaurant to take the next step beyond a vegetarian menu and cut their ties with animal abusing companies in order to become the next eatery that provides exclusively nonviolent foods in Denver.
