The United States has been the main supporter of Israel economically, politically and militarily.  The state of Israel has been the largest recipient of U.S. foreign aid since its foundation receiving over $300 billion in economic and military funds. Within the year of 2023, U.S military aid amounted to more than $3.8 billion, out of which half a billion was reserved for its missile defense program. Most recently, the U.S. Senate approved $14 billion for military use alone. It is within the power of the American government to stop Israel from continuing the mass murdering of Palestinians. While completely condemning the events of October 7th and the atrocities caused to the people of Israel, it is also important to acknowledge the great suffering and human rights violations experienced by the people of Palestine from the Israeli government occupation and its military actions. Despite international pressure to prevent an invasion to Rafah, Israel's seizure of Rafah crossing, its hospitals and attacks on civilian refugee camps, along with the murdering of numerous doctors along with journalists further signals the imminent genocidal intents of the current Israeli government under the statement of "finishing the job". Rafah crossing has been a primary lifeline allowing humanitarian aid and transport of patients during the collapse of the healthcare facilities in Gaza. The main hospital in Rafah, Abu Yousef Al-Najar, closed as of May after heavy bombardment, causing medical staff as well as over 200 patients to flee. Rafah is half the size of the city of San Francisco, but with a refugee population of over 1.4 million Palestinians, which is close to twice the population of San Francisco, out of which 70% are women and children. An offensive in Rafah would be one of the greatest human massacres of our time funded directly by our tax dollars. Please stop this incredible violence towards women and children, which should not be allowed at this time in our human history, by preventing Israel from any further offensive in Rafah city and the entire Palestinian territory through the immediate implementation of sufficiently "effective" economic and military sanctions, including an end to its nuclear facilities, on the Israeli government to fully stop any further killings of innocent civilians out of which 50 % are children.

Pass the Resilient Rhode Island Act to build a resilient state where our economy, culture, and quality of life are protected from climate change.

In Support of our Neighbors Devastated by the August 2011 Flood We the undersigned petition our legislators in support of our friends and neighbors in Rotterdam Junction, Middleburg and all of Schoharie County who have suffered devastation of homes, businesses and communities as a result of the August 2011 flooding. Their suffering continues because of the lack of action by government agencies and our representatives. We, the undersigned, will no longer stand by while our neighbors in Up-State New York face hunger, sub-standard living conditions, and the denial of basic necessities. Federal dollars and government support promised six months ago still have not been delivered. The $93 million allocated and needed to re-build homes, business and communities and to purchase food supplies is held up in a process of political in-fighting while church groups, private donations, and food pantries struggles to assist the thousands of families by providing bare necessities. Petitioners know the following facts and hold our elected representative responsible for these conditions: * $93 million has been allocated but not released for use! Who is responsible for this political stalemate? * Breakabeen’s food bank has run out of food to distribute to victims of the flooding. How has political inaction resulted in the inability to feed our own citizens? * Property taxes and mortgage payments are still required on devastated property that has not been rebuilt because of a lack of funding. Who in government ignores the plight of these our neighbors and will not even return calls? * Private citizens, church groups, businesses, and regional food banks continue to share donations, food and supplies with our neighbors to the extent possible. Who in government agencies should have but did not organize the necessary relief for these citizens? We, the undersigned petitioners, are now frustrated by the inaction from our political representatives to accomplish the following: * Free up the $92 million designated for immediate use in Schenectady and Schoharie Counties by those devastated by the flood of 2011. * Establish a plan to organize the delivery of resources necessary to rebuild homes, communities, and businesses so that our neighbors can return to a decent living arrangement. We, the undersigned, hold our representatives responsible to address the concerns herein listed and to respond to the needs of their constituencies in Counties impacted by flooding in 2011.

During Trump's speech to Congress, he once again exploited the sacrifices of US troops and their families. This shameless disrespect for our military must stop. As veterans and military family members, we will not be props for Trump's agenda of authoritarianism and hate.

Mark Kennedy does NOT represent CU values. As a Congressman, he co-sponsored a constitutional amendment to ban marriage equality and consistently voted against a woman’s right to choose. Kennedy earned a 17% approval rating by the National Education Association, and 7% by the American Civil Liberties Union, while he got an A+ from the National Rifle Association and a 100% from the Christian Coalition. As both a politician and an educator, Kennedy has repeatedly proven that he does not care about all people/students. Because of this, he should not be leading a major public university.

We, the residents/tax payers/electors of the Bethlehem Area School District request the resignation of Director Vidanage due to his lack of performance. If Director Vidanage refuses to resign his position, we ask that the school board declare his seat abandoned/vacated.

Please publicly correct the false claims about climate change made by WBAL meteorologist Tony Pann and ensure that all WBAL staff report the scientific facts of human-caused climate change and its impact on the weather system.

Gov. Walker, when you compared peaceful protestors to radical terrorists, you disrespected the service and sacrifice of the men and women who serve in our armed forces, and you insulted the citizens of Wisconsin who stood up to take part in our democracy. As a veteran of the Iraq War and one of those protestors, I am asking you to publicly apologize for your callous and dishonorable remarks.

Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) are crucial in a crisis--but the federal government has a responsibility to ensure that the WEA system does not reinforce dangerous profiling.
