1. STOP new car parking changes at Hayling Health Centre 
Following the recently increased car parking charges in Mengham, Havant Borough Council are proposing to scrap the free parking for patients when they visit Hayling Health centre.
Not content with damaging our local Hayling Businesses and community with excessive car parking fees, the council are now proposing a new tax on the sick.
2. Stop Amnesty to Illegal Aliens Now
We, the American People, strongly oppose amnesty or any kind of legalization for illegal aliens. We are extremely concerned of the future of this United States of America for various reasons.
The security of this nation is in grave danger by the millions of illegal aliens coming in from other countries. Many are coming from the Middle east by entering Venezuela first, learning Spanish and then crossing the Mexican border to the USA. The great majority coming in from Central, So. America and our neighbors the Mexicans. These people pay thousands of dollars to smugglers just to bring them across the US border. It wouldn't cost much to pay the Immigration fees to the proper authorities -if- they entered according to our laws.
Americans are concerned that our country's economy is being devastated by giving amnesty to millions of illegal aliens who broke our laws entering our country illegally or, overstayed their temporary Visas.
Our welfare rolls are exploding while Americans are losing their jobs. The Food stamps (cards) are being abused by the criminal element.
People living in Mexico are taking advantage of the Spanish language advertizing the US Government has put on T.V. And many non-eligible obtain the food cards.
Children cross the US border to use our educational system and return to Mexico after classes are over! Mexico is taking full advantage of American resources!
Those are some of the reasons Americans are concerned with the direction this Administration is taking our beloved USA.
Iako BH daytonski Ustav ne poznaje pojmove "nacionalnost" i "nacionalno", iako se zna da se ti pojmovi u cijelom svijetu odnose na pripadnost državi, iako se zna da etnička pripadnost/narodnost i nacionalna pripadnost nisu isto - u BiH se ipak upravo priprema nova manipulacija građanima BiH!
Popisom 2013., a kroz popisno pitanje br.24, priprema se finalna manipulacija svima nama koja će za rezultat imati učvrščivanje postojećeg stanja podjela! Za sve nas, obične građane BiH, to znači - još manje posla, još slabiji razvoj, još slabija ekonomija, još više nezaposlenih, još više socijalnih slučajeva i siromašnih, ali i još više prebogatih etno-nacionalnih političara!
Na koji način će nas ovaj put prevariti? Tako što nas tjeraju da se na popisu izjasnimo po nacionalnoj osnovi, iako je to protivustavno, a pri čemu je pripremljena vrlo perfidna upitna konstrukcija koja se ogleda u pitanju br.24 i glasi "ETNIČKO/NACIONALNO IZJAŠNJAVANJE". Ovime su narodna pripadnost (sto su u BiH - Bošnjak, Hrvat, Srbin, Rom, Jevrej, itd.) poistovjećuje sa nacionalnom pripadnošču (što je pripadnost državi), a nakon popisa će se tome dati i ligitimitet i legalitet, te će se tvrditi da u BiH postoje 3 većinske nacije, a ne 3 večinska naroda kako i jeste. Kako je poznato da ne postoji nacija bez države, ovime će se pokrenuti proces tihe disolucije BiH, što i jeste konačni cilj svih etno-nacionalnih političara u BiH!
4. Stop Wasteful Spending for the 2013 Inauguration
For the 2008 inauguration, $146 million was spent-some from private donors and some from the local and federal governments.
Inauguration Day is a federally paid holiday for thousands of federal workers. The wasteful spending while thousands of American citizens are in need a short distance from Washington D.C. is horrific and a terrible example of American society.
5. Stop the recruitment of Child Soldiers
We think that there should be no more child soldier in the world.
The end of Freedom of speech as we know it. The recently passed Cybercrime Law (RA 101750) has undoubtedly struck a nerve of many internet users in the Philippines. This puts to an end to the democracy we should have had in the first place. No more file sharing.. no more constructive criticisms. No freedom.
Petitioner Businessman Louis “Barok” Biraogo said the passage of the law was “attended with grave abuse of discretion because its questioned provisions contravene Sections 3 (1) (on inviolability of privacy of communication) and 4 (on freedom of speech, of expression, of the press, and peaceful assembly), Art. III (Bill of Rights) of the 1987 Constitution.” (stated at the GMA News Online article)
7. Stop restarting nuclear power plants
Many people lost their lives after being exposed to massive radiation from the explosion of Fukushima nuclear power plant.
Many people took their own lives after losing hope of living on their land because it was too contaminated by radiation.
Many people are still suffering from deteriorating health caused by radiation still being dispersed from the plants.
Many people have great concerns about the future of their precious children.
But in front of the large number of protestant, the Japanese government hastily decided to restart the nuclear power plant despite failing to fix the broken nuclear safety system that led to the original meltdown.
The government hasn't explained about the cause of the disaster and hasn't made an apology to the public.
8. ASPCA: Stop euthanizing pit bulls!
It is unfair to euthanize EVERY single pit bull type dog for scarring and/or being captured in a drug raid or pulled from the fighting ring.
Without even seeing whether or not the dog is capable of being rehabillitated, they put it down. Puppies (like the 12 week old ones rescued by the ASPCA, NYPD Vice Enforcement Division and Bronx District Attorney’s office, who have scarring from being 'fought') are still young enough to be rehabillitated to the point of being a house pet. I take it into my own hands, I own two american pit bull terriers. One is a blue named Duke, who is 8 months old and bought from a reputable breeder.
The other one, a piebald with pitbull named Rosco, was taken from a dog fighter. He had escaped a fighting ring and went on the streets. We took him in in our own hands. He now is so freindly with other animals. He loves to play play play play, but very gentally. I think that not all dogs can be rehabillitated, but a majority can. I understand the money issue, and time issue, but they would find a way to rehabillitate a Golden Retriever thtat is aggressive, a Labrador, a Great Dane, a Beagle; i can keep going all day. I have seen them say "we will find away to rehabillitate this dog and find it a home" when the dog is far more aggressive then some pit bulls rescued off of the streets, fighting rings etc. The whole fact about "worrying if the dog will get the right home" lingers i nthe air also.
Since pit bull type dogs are so eager to please, strong, agile, athletic and smart, many thugs like them for fighting. These dogs have stamina, Rosco (the one we rescued) can go for hours, running, jumping, swimming, everything, including chasing a ball! Duke (my blue who is more bull dog type, thick and at 8 months is 70 pounds, and Rosco is 72 pounds and he is 4 years!) is so lazy, and flops down panting within 10 minutes of play; depsite how hot it is that day. I think that it is the SPCA's or person who is placing that dog into the correct home, to do home checks, and check ups on that dog. Every month or so, do check ups at the house. If you think theyre sketchy, or live in the "rough" part of town where the dog could be used negativley (i.e. intimidation, gaurding, attack dog, fighting dog etc.) pass over the people! You cannot just go giving this dog breed to anyone, but that doesnt mean "put them all to sleep because people are idiots and irresponsible"!
Now, what does banning breeds solve? Irresponsible ownershipe? No. dog fatalities? Maybe by 1%. Over population in pounds? No, irresponsible people, i.e. thugs etc., will do anything to get a dog breed they want, even if it is breaking the law. I think their should be no laws on dog breeds, but laws regulating who can own certain breeds, and who can own an animal. Maybe their should be a test you ...have to take for 1 year. 1 year you have to do things in the community proving that you are responsible, and not an abuser. You get pulled over? No dog. You get arrested? Certainly no dog. If anything bad were to happen to you in that 1 year period, than no dog until you can prove that you are responsible enough too own one.
If they want a head strong dog, than they should not only practice and show responsibility, but they should make out a game plan saying, Okay the dog will have to sit here, not dash out the door, walk good on a leash, not challenge me, not dominate me, and not bully or push me around. Just because a breed of dog bites, or over populates, doesn't mean put them all to sleep and ban the breed. Say someone had 32 kids, and the parents died... The 32 kids had to go to an orphanage, and some kids have mental problems, and anger problems..what do we do? Put them all to sleep? Keep them locked up? No, try to get them better. Would the government ban parents for breeding, or owning children that could one day end up a thug, a murderer, a rapist etc.? No, they just say "raise it right and it will act right!". Than why cant it be the same with animals?! If an african american person shot somebody, it is not right to go around be skeptical of every african americans just because one shot somebody.
If a Caucasian person rapes someone, is it acceptable to go around being afraid of caucasions? No, the answer is NO. If racism and genocide is illegal, than why are we still doing it? Not necessarily to people, but to dog breeds. This needs to end, if it isent judging someone for body weight, color, sexual orientation or anything, its judging an animal for the breed it is.
BLAME THE OWNER, NOT THE ANIMAL. BLAME THE DRIVER, NOT THE CAR. BLAME THE SHOOTER, NOT THE GUN. BLAME THE PEOPLE, NOT THE WORLD This has been constantly making me and family and friends upset, euthanizing E.V.E.R.Y pit bull rescued. It upsets me, especially this latest case (link posted here---------->) http://www.lifewithdogs.tv/2012/06/nypd-breaks-up-brutal-bronx-dogfighting-ring/ will result in death for the dogs. This is my duty of being an advocate of the breed, to save these dogs... here is a link to my page on facebook, dedicated to the breed, please like share and post what ever you like... afraid of the breed? We will help you not be... have questions of anything? Feel free to ask us!
Thanks, the lives of those pit bulls and the pit bulls of tomorrow, are in our hands.

After watching Sharkwater, I realised that it's so cruel and disgusting for fishermen to only fin the sharks, but discard the rest into the sea alive.
10. STOP THE DESTRUCTION OF NATURE PARK ZLATIBOR
The magnificent evergreen forest on Mt. Zlatibor is letting go under strikes of chainsaws and heavy machinery.
With pine trees taller than 15 meters and older than 70 years, stretching over 500 acres of forest land it is a predominantly influential Nature Park and self preserving ecosystem on Zlatibor.
Planted immediately upon the end of the Second World War it bore status of protected natural wealth and had become a habitat to numerous animal and plant species.
Today it's a host to a large number of families of squirrels and rabbits, also turtles, moles, hedgehogs, ant colonies, lizard dens and various birds such are robins, woodpeckers, ouzels, owls, wild pigeons, magpies, etc.
Abusing state's law regulations on environmental protection and disregarding obligatory acts of Aarhus Convention the local authorities issued The General Plan according to which the Nature Park is turned into zone of tourism and high commerce.
WARNING: The Nature Park is undergoing heavy deforestation and soil devastation by local Zlatibor authorities and Serbian Orthodox Church. Biodiversity is threatened with extinction as workers and machinery plow through in preparation to build communication and drainage network.
IMPORTANT: Please pay attention to the 5 min documentary below.

11. Ban animal pornography and shocking footage
As you may or may not know, shocking material is all over the internet. This varies from animal pornography to serious mutilation to human beings.
Child pornography is banned on the internet, but it's ridiculous that media showing animal pornography is still allowed and exists on the internet in large amounts.
This has to stop.
12. Stop Water Fluoridation in Neenah
In 1992, former United States Environmental Protection Agency scientist Robert Carton claimed that "fluoridation is the greatest case of scientific fraud of this century."
The rates of dental decay in areas with unfluoridated water are statistically equivalent to those with fluoridated water, proving that water fluoridation is unnecessary for the prevention of tooth decay.
Fluoride's ability to damage the brain represents one of the most active areas of research on fluoride toxicity today.
Fluoride can be one of the most volatile and active harmful chemicals in the body. Fluoride can attack mercilessly, against any age group, but its effects are especially harmful to developing children and the elderly.
Fluoride is known to cause dental fluorosis, a defect of the tooth enamel caused by fluoride’s interference with developing teeth. Its visible signs are mottled or yellowed teeth. Nearly 30% of children drinking fluoridated water suffer from dental fluorosis on two or more teeth (Hileman, 1988).
Fluoride confuses the immune system and causes it to attack the body's own tissues, and increases the tumor growth rate in cancer prone individuals.
Fluoride is associated with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Fluoride enters the brain and enables aluminum to cross the blood-brain barrier, resulting in increased risk for these diseases.
Fluoride has also been associated with low IQ and mental retardation in children (Hileman, 1988).
The research on fluoride and the brain has been fueled by 18 human studies from China, India, Iran, and Mexico finding elevated levels of fluoride exposure to be associated with IQ deficits in children.
Fluoride can cause a crippling bone disease called skeletal fluorosis. In more mild forms, symptoms of this disease include chronic joint pain, similar to the symptoms of arthritis.
Fluoride disrupts the activity of normally functioning hormones. Fluoride can reduce levels of melatonin, the sleep hormone, in the body, causing chronic insomnia (Hileman, 1988).
Most European countries have now rejected the process of water fluoridation. Their children’s teeth have not suffered from this rejection. The cost/benefit ratio of fluoridated water no longer warrants the presence of fluoride in drinking water.
A 2001 study found that "fluoride, particularly in toothpastes, is a very important preventive agent against dental caries," but added that "additional fluoride to that currently available in toothpaste does not appear to be benefiting the teeth of the majority of people."
Research shows fluoridation is unnecessary since we're already receiving 300% or more of the American Dental Association's recommended dosage. We are wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars a year fluoridating our water when it is completely unnecessary, unethical and dangerous.
On February 15 the Cabinet of Ministers voted in favor of ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement).
According to the cypriot laws, it is possible for a decision of the Cabinet of Ministers to change if the Ministers propose a similar position, on the same subject. So we want them to propose a NO to ACTA decision.
If not then it will have to go to the parliament. There we call all MPs to VOTE NO to ACTA!
ACTA has not yet been voted in the European Parliament. It will be re-discussed at INTA committee at the end of April and May and then voted on the plenary of the European Parliament on June.
We call the MEPs of Cyprus to vote NO to ACTA!
We have time stop it!
Spread the word! Collect as many signatures as possible! Join our STOP ACTA campaign!
14. STOP SPIKE LEE FROM REMAKING OLD BOY
For those of you who HAVE seen the movie Old Boy, I don't need to explain at all why it should never be remade.
For those of you who HAVEN'T seen the film, it is a 2003 South Korean film directed by Park Chan-wook that will blow your mind. It's simply such an incredibly unique and well done picture that it deserves to stand forever alone as a cult-classic.
15. Stop the government sponsored forced displacement of Christian families in Egypt
Stop the government sponsored forced displacement of Christian families in Egypt
Preamble:
On Friday 27th January 2012 after Salafi Muslims spread false rumours in the village of Sharbat near Alexandria that a Christian tailor, Murad Sami Gergis has inappropriate photographs of a Muslim woman on his mobile, the Salafi Muslim mobs from the village of Sharbat and nearby villages attacked and burned down Christian homes and shops in the village, 3 houses, 10 shops belonging to Christians were fully burned and 3 flats looted. The nearby police did not try to intervene to stop the violence against Copts, rather appeared on the scene after the Christians properties and business were burned.
The accused Christian tailor was arrested and his telephone was seized, no inappropriate photographs of a Muslim woman was found. It became later clear that the rumour was spread as a pretext for the attack.
3 reconciliation sessions were sponsored by the local police and the local MPs Esam Hasanin from the Muslim Brothers party and Ahmed Abdelhamid Elsherif from El-Noor Muslim Salafi party to bring a resolution to the matter decided:
First session on 30 January 2012 decided on the expulsion of the accused Christian tailor with his family, 2 brothers and families and the sale of their property and business by the Salafi MP.
Second session on 1st February 2012 decided to expel an old Christian businessman Ishaq Abaschiron Khalil and his 4 sons (married men with families who also got their business and houses burned) as the Salafis claimed one of his sons fired in air as he saw the mob attacking and burning their properties.
A third session sealed the previous decisions to expel the Christian families (As their return would cause sedition)
Forced displacement is a Crime against Humanity, in Egypt this crime is carried out against innocent Christians sponsored by the Islamists and government agencies (MPs).
We call upon the world community, the United Nations and all government to pressurise the Egyptian government to put an end to this crime, stop the forced displacement of the innocent and prosecute the perpetrators of violence against Christians in Egypt.
This petition is intended to be sent to the UN Human Rights Council, The UN independent expert on minority issues and the international Criminal Court.
أوقفوا التهجير القسري للعائلات المسيحية في مصر برعاية الحكومة المصرية
الديباجة:
فى يوم الجمعة 27 يناير 2012 نشر بعض السلفيين المسلمين شائعات كاذبة في قرية كوبرى شربات بالقرب من مدينة الإسكندرية أن خياطا مسيحي يدعى مراد سامي جرجس لديه صور فاضحة لامرأة مسلمة على هاتفه المحمول، هاجم الغوغاء السلفية من مسلمى قرية كوبرى شربات والقرى المجاورة منازل ومتاجر المسيحيين في القرية و وأحرقوا 3 منازل وخربوا وسرقوا 3 شقق بخلاف 10 محلات تجارية احرقت بالكامل. الشرطة لم تحاول التدخل لوقف العنف ضد الأقباط.
وكان ألقي القبض على المتهم الخياط المسيحي وضبط هاتفه، لم توجد صورا غير مناسبة لامرأة مسلمة على الهاتف حقيقة اكدها حمدين صباحى عضو مجلس الشعب فى حديث على اليوتيوب. أصبح واضحا في وقت لاحق أنه تم نشر الشائعة كذريعة للهجوم.
جلسات المصالحة العرفية الثلاث تمت تحت رعاية الشرطة واعضاء البرلمان عصام حسنين من حزب الحرية والعدالة وأحمد عبدالحميد الشريف من حزب النور السلفى لايجاد حل لهذه المسألة وقرر:
قررت الدورة الأولى من جلسات المصالحة العرفية في 30 يناير 2012 على طرد الخياط المسيحي المتهم مع عائلته وبيع ممتلكاته ومحلاته ومحلات اخوته الاثنين نبيل ووليد من قبل النائب السلفي.
قررت الدورة الثانية في 1 فبراير 2012 إلى طرد رجل الأعمال المسيحي اسحق ابسخيرون خليل هو واولاده الرجال المتزوجين مع أسرهم وعددهم اربعة أسر لان احد اولاده اطلق رصاصات فى الهواء عندما رأى الغوغاء تهاجم منازلهم وتحرق ورشهم اسفل المنازل.
اكدت الدورة الثالثة على القرارات السابقة لطرد العائلات المسيحية (لأن وجودهم سيسبب الفتنة)
التهجير القسري هي جريمة ضد الإنسانية، وتتم في هذه الجريمة ضد المسيحيين في مصر برعاية الاسلاميين المتشددين بالتعاون مع الاجهزة الحكومية.
نحن ندعو المجتمع الدولي والأمم المتحدة الى ممارسة ضغوط علي الحكومة المصرية لوضع حد لهذه الجريمة، ووقف التهجير القسري للابرياء، ومقاضاة مرتكبي العنف ضد المسيحيين في مصر.
هذا الطلب سيرسل إلى مجلس الأمم المتحدة لحقوق الإنسان، وخبير الأمم المتحدة المستقل المعني بقضايا الأقليات، .
16. STOP HUNTING IN CITY LIMITS - BEMIDJI, MN
We have a large community of hunters in our region and have been bombarded with poachers and Antler hunters right in town. Now they have found a way to try to hunt these animals legally.
We are a neighborhood of four schools, trailer parks, business's, hiking & cross country ski paths and children's parks and albeit we have wooded areas, the dangers of this planned in town hunt are unfathomable. There would never be enough safety precautions. Known facts: Hunting is ineffective for solving human/deer conflicts.
Studies show that car/deer collisions increase during hunting season because hunters frighten the deer out of the woods and onto roads. Contrary to popular belief, hunting does not address Lyme disease because the ticks are usually spread to humans by mice, not deer. And as long as suburban landscaping includes deer-preferred plants such as tulips and rhododendrons, that landscaping will attract hungry deer, no matter how many deer there are. Impotant to know because this is the most frequent excuse used for these hunts; Hunting does not reduce the deer population because removing some individuals from the population results in more food per deer, which leads to the births of more twins and triplets.
This also means that hunting is unnecessary because the deer will self-regulate and give birth to fewer fawns when food is scarce.
17. Keep Emily Fisher Charter School Open
It was announced on March 2nd,2012 that Emily Fisher Charter School in Trenton, New Jersey will be closed June 29th. The reason is because the test scores put the school in the bottom three percent statewide.
18. Put a Humane force in Las Vegas
Many states have a NSPCA humane force A.K.A animal cops. Las Vegas does not have one. We need one desperately. We need one NOW! The abuse has become so bad that even my next door neighbors are doing it.
It seems left and right animals in Las Vegas are hurt and abused for no reason except for a persons sick fantasies. I'm not asking for money im just asking for help so if you can contact any major officer (mayor, governor, president etc.) please send this to them.
I may be only 15 but this is what I want to do, defend animals of Las Vegas and let them have a good life.
1 in 10 Canadians in the workforce who are employed are working in what would be considered temporary job.
Between 1989 and 1994, the number of Canadians employed on a temporary basis increased by 21 per cent, from 799,000 to 970,000 workers.
Seventy-five per cent of temporary jobs last less than six months and as a result, many temporary workers are excluded from various legal protections and employee benefits.
Temporary agents are not paid for days away from the job due to sickness, statutory holidays, bereavement or vacation leave, nor are they entitled to severance pay upon termination of their employment.
Employers are not required to pay unemployment insurance premiums or Canada/Quebec Pension Plan premiums on behalf of these workers.
Temporary employment is an important issue with substantial policy implications. Too many workers today are unable to string together enough temporary jobs in a year to provide them with an adequate income or security. Moving from one contract to the next, many individuals are left with only part-time work and irregular hours, and rarely with any of the non-wage benefits like pensions or unemployment insurance.
Clearly the emergence of these new forms of employment has implications for a wide range of policies and programs.
In short, temporary employment in some of its current forms is eroding the economic security of Canadian families.
20. Ban Airbrushing!
Airbrushing has led to a lot of damage and even psychological and eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia.
Please sign this petition because air brushing is inhumane and degrading to all people who suffer just to fit that perfect image.
Please help us take a stand and say stop!
21. Stop ACTA Before it Stops you
Don't take my word alone for what ACTA is really threatening. Go look it up. Search it on google. Look at the injustice. We must fight for our right to have privacy on our personal computers. We should fight for our right to not be monitored every time we switch on our computers.
Just because a few people with deep pockets are angry with the internet, doesn't mean that the government has the right to take away our constitutional rights.
Like I said don't take my word for it, go see what the news and your searches and everything else tells you.
22. Stop America from banning anime on internet
America are trying to ban all anime from showing on the internet.
It was on the BBC news that they were trying. We should stop it because not many people can easily go out and buy anime.
23. Please stop the massacre of Christians in Nigeria
Since the Christmas morning service on December 25, 2011, the world has witnessed a series of killings which, according to news agents, has left more than 90 Christians dead, leaving many others injured.
The group called Boko Haram has claimed to be responsible of these killings and has threatened all Christians to flee the Northern part of Nigeria, where they legally belong.
This petition is to urge the Nigerian government to do all that is its power to stop the killings and protect these innocent lives.
24. Stop Clarkson Road cell tower
On November 16, 2011, the neighbours that live within 90 metres of Clarkson Rd Presbyterian Church received a notice from Bell Mobility via their consultants, Altus Group.
The notice outlined that a cellular tower will be constructed within the Church property. The proposed cellular tower should be 31 m over and above the tree line in the north west corner of the Church parking lot.
On December 14, 2011, Altus Group on behalf of Bell Mobility held an "information session" confirming that the Church and Bell Mobility have entered into a rental agreement and the construction of the cellular tower is forthcoming. This negotiation process between the Church and Bell Mobility had been ongoing for over a year, according to Rev. John Crowdis of the Clarkson Rd. Presbyterian Church.
We, the concerned residents of Clarkson and Lorne Park strongly oppose the construction of the cellular tower. We are concerned that that this cellular tower does not meet the needs or concerns of the local community. We feel that the location provides no positive benefit to the community.
Furthmore, some of our other concerns are as follows:
>Neither Heath Canada nor Industry Canada is willing to offer written confirmation that cellular tower emissions do not pose a health risk to children, pregnant women, cancer survivors, and the elderly;
>Without research, the residents and the children of the Montessori School, living and attending school between the hydro and cell towers may be at risk;
>The physical appearance of a cell tower 31 metres above the tree line in the middle of a residential area and it's negative effect on property values;
>The process to notify and educate the residents of the community has been inadequate and misleading;
>More suitable sites, that are not within residential areas, may not have been considered;
>Bell Mobility has not provided convincing evidence that the local community needs the cell tower.
25. Keep Horse Slaughter Illegal In America
I'm going to make this short, sweet, and too the point. As you may or may not know, Obama quietly signed a bill to allow horse slaughter in America again.
Not only do I not believe in the brutal, inhumane ways of horse slaughter, I do not believe in the consumption of their meat. The horse slaughter plants will be opening again in about a month, or less. For those of you who don't know how a horse is slaughtered - it's not pretty, no mercy is shown to the horses.
Look it up on youtube.com to see for yourself. Simply signing this will not harm you in any way so even if horses are not your favorite animal - why not sign it? Also, don't think "what about cow slaughter?" I'm not saying that's okay, but this is here, for the horses. So, please sign this to save the horses where - yes, there are better endings for them rather than a brutal slaughter.
Jersey Shore is a disgrace to America as a whole. America is putting people on TV that do nothing but party and fight all the time. And this show is on during a time when our children have access to the television and they are looking at these people as role models.
Dressing like whores and beating up people, all in the name of getting drunk, is not what our children need to see. Besides the fact that all of those people make me sick. This is not what we want our children to aspire to be. We need real role models, not these rich, spoiled brats.
27. Stop Northcentral MS Power & Electric Association !!
I would like for everyone to spread the word about North central MS Power & Electric Association they don’t care about the people.
They will turn your lights off no matter what your situation is. They only give you 2 extensions a year. I’m trying to get ppl together and fight against this, I’m starting a petition.
28. Change the music in Stop & Shop Supermarkets
Any regular customer to there local Stop & Shop or employee can tell you about the music that plays in these supermarkets. They will agree that the music choices this company decides on to play in there stores is horrendous.
I have heard comments such as "all they play is depressing music about breaking up or heartache" or "it seems as though they picked the worst songs from every decade."
This petition was made so Stop & Shop will change the music they play in there stores to more up to date music. Music that customers/employees would enjoy hearing.
STOP ANIMAL CRUELTY.
30. STOP unprofessional tree lopping under power lines In Blacktown
Unsympathetic and brutal lopping of trees by power companies and contractors must stop. We demand that essential lopping is carried out in a way that preserves the integrity and appeal of our suburban streetscapes.
Trees provide shade, habitats for wildlife and cleaner air, and bring a natural beauty to our neighbourhoods. Blacktown Council spends thousands of dollars of ratepayers’ money on planting and caring for new trees. It also encourages residents to plant trees and has a tree preservation order. Yet it allows electricity companies to hack at established trees with complete disregard for tree health, natural shape and beauty, making a mockery of the preservation order.
We recognise that power companies have a duty to ensure the security of power lines. However, many Blacktown residents are horrified at how the unsympathetic lopping of trees is destroying our attractive streetscapes.
As concerned residents, we insist that essential lopping be carried out by professionals in a way that maintains the shape, health, beauty and integrity of our trees for the enjoyment and benefit of the community now and into the future.
