			<title>Michael Jackson Nomination 2010 Nobel Peace Prize </title>

Dear Norwegian Nobel Committee,

We the undersigned, would like to nominate legendary performing artist and global humanitarian Michael Jackson for the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize.  He was and will continue to be one of the most famous, and influential men on earth.  

Michael’s message for humankind has always been rooted in compassion, and kindness.  He has succeeded a lifelong dedication to the well being of humanity.  Moving beyond all political, social, and economic borders Michael Jackson consistently spread a positive message of global unity, healing, and love.  

Michael Jackson endlessly devoted his life to helping others in their darkest time of need.  It would be nearly impossible to count the multiple hundreds of millions of dollars Michael has donated to charity from his own finances, charity organizations, and also through his organizing of major fund raising events.  

In 1984, Michael Jackson was severely burned while filming a commercial for the Pepsi Cola Company.  Michael was awarded $1.5 million in the court settlement, which he donated to the Michael Jackson Burn Center.  

The 1985 charity fund raising song ‘We Are The World’ was co-written and organized by Michael Jackson.  The song was recorded in an effort to help aid famine-relief in Ethiopia.  To date the song has generated over $60 million in relief aid for the charity.  

The most impressive global contribution Michael Jackson has made to humanity was his 1992 creation of the Heal The World Foundation.  Michael’s foundation is responsible for educating children about the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse, donating millions of dollars to poverty stricken children in need, and airlifting 46 tons of supplies to war torn Sarajevo.  

In 1994, Michael Jackson pledged $120,000 from the Heal The World Foundation to pay the cost of a liver transplant for an abandoned Hungarian child by the name of Bela Farkas.  This is the type of giving that led to Michael being listed under the entry “Most Charities Supported By A Pop Star” in the year 2000 Guiness Book of World Records.  Michael Jackson also continued to contribute to charities for the survivors of Hurricane Katrina, and the victims families of the attacks on 9/11/01.
 
We the Undersigned, believe Michael Jackson has given of himself completely and selflessly in a lifelong effort to help better global conditions for children, and all of humankind.  Please consider Michael Jackson whole heartedly as the nominee, and recipient for the distinguished honor of this most prestigious award.  

Michael Jackson has undoubtably earned the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize.

Sincerely,

Anneliese Nichole Brown

Anthropology Student 
University of California Los Angeles

					We the Undersigned, would like Michael Jackson\'s Heal the World Foundation to accept this 2010 Nobel Peace Prize petition nomination, in honor of the late, yet great, Michael Jackson.  

This addition to the petition is aimed at eliminating any controversy as to whether or not, Michael Jackson is an eligible nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize, posthumously.  

In 1961, Dag Hammarskjöld, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize posthumously.  Let us also honor Michael Jackson for his lifelong efforts of Intense, and Unforgettable Global Humanitarian efforts.  The rest of the petition follows below.  Thank you.

					In addition to this petition, it has recently been brought to my attention that the Michael Jackson Burn Center was officially renamed as such in Michael Jackson\'s honor.  The renaming took place after Michael donated his entire proceeds from the court case settlement with Pepsi Cola Company to the burn center.  This was approximately (and during the 1980\'s), an incredible $1.5 Million donation to the burn center.  This court settlement was agreed upon by both parities, as a result from the severe second, and third degree burns Michael Jackson endured.  These burns were caused by malfunctioning on-set pyrotechnics, a terrible accident which caught Michael\'s scalp on fire during the filming of a commercial for the soda Pop giant in the mid 1980\'s.  Michael Jackson is still the ultimate definition of a TRUE HUMANITARIAN.    </description>

			<title>Free Amanda Knox!</title>
			<link>http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/freeaknox/</link>
			<pubDate>Fri, 4 Dec 2009 21:0:12 CST</pubDate>
			<description>Whether you believe Amanda Knox is innocent because you can look into her eyes and tell, or you believe that the fact that there is only circumstantial evidence and no hard proof that she had anything to do with the crime, this petition is for the freedom of Amanda Knox, a victim of Italian corruption and conspiracy. If she owned more Gucci or houses in America, our \&quot;great\&quot; country would swoop in and pay off her Roman persecutors, but she is just a young, mind-shattered student caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. And I say until a real Justice system can find real proof that she had anything to do with Kercher\'s murder, she be released from prison. I do realize that this petition in and of itself will do nothing but piss off society and the governments, but maybe, just maybe, I can find enough people who agree with me to make an official statement to the U.S. government. Don\'t be afraid of being called a sociopath. Sign here if you agree Amanda Knox should be freed until the Italian legal system puts Justice before it\'s own political agendas.

			<title>Help Fatima Bhutto get Justice for Murtaza Bhutto</title>
			<link>http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/justiceformirbhutto/</link>
			<pubDate>Tue, 6 Oct 2009 10:1:57 CDT</pubDate>
			<description>Justice for Mir Murtaza Bhutto, Ashiq Jatoi, Sattar Rajpar, Shajad Haider Ghakro, Rahim Brohi, Yar Mohammad Baloch, and Wajahat Jokhio.


On 20th September 1996, Mir Murtaza Bhutto, an elected member of the parliament was murdered along Ashiq Jatoi, Sattar Rajpar, Shajad Haider Ghakro, Rahim Brohi, Yar Mohammad Baloch, and Wajahat Jokhio as they were returning home from a public meeting on the outskirts of Karachi.

70 to 100 police officers placed yards away from 70 Clifton, including several high-level police fired when Mir Murtaza Bhutto exited the car. All of the seven men were fatally wounded. They were left to bleed without any medical attention for half-an-hour to 45 minutes. All of the seven men were then taken to different locations, none to emergency hospitals.

The then PPP government did not arrest any of the police officers. Instead they were reinstated and duly promoted. All these men, all complicit in the murder Shoaib Suddle, Wajid Durrani,RaiTahir,Shahid Hayat,Agha Jamil,Shakaib Qureshi,Masood Sharif are currently free and some at various high level positions in Pakistan. The facts of the case and the tribunal appointed to investigate the matter concluded that the assassination could not have taken place ‘without approval from the highest level of government’. 13 years on still nothing has changed, the criminals are still free and the families of the victims continue to seek justice.

We demand:


The current government of Pakistan immediately book and investigate thoroughly the role of all the high level police officials involved in the assassination on that fateful night.

The case currently being fought in the Pakistani courts be fast tracked and justice immediately given to all the 7 families involved. The guilty be punished

			<description>Denmark is a big shame
The sea is stained in red and in the mean while it’s not because of the climate effects of nature.It\\\\\\\'s because of the cruelty that the human beings (civilised human) kill hundreds of the famous and intelligent Calderon dolphins.
                          This happens every year in Feroe iland in Denmark . In this slaughter the main participants are young teens.
WHY?
To show that they are adults and mature.

In this big celebration, nothing is missing for the fun. Everyone is participating in one way or the other, killing or looking at the cruelty “supporting like a spectator”

Is it necessary to mention that the dolphin calderon, like all the other species of dolphins, it’s near instinction and they get near men to play and interact. In a way of PURE friendship.  

They don’t die instantly; they are cut 1, 2 or 3 times with thick hocks. And at that time the dolphins produce a grim extremely compatible with the cry of a new born child.But he suffers and there’s no compassion till this sweet being slowly dies in its own blood

			<title>Free Anand Jon</title>
			<link>http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/freeanandjon/</link>
			<pubDate>Mon, 16 Feb 2009 02:0:07 CST</pubDate>
			<description>We are deeply concerned about the Anand Jon verdict; We feel that the jury acted in haste and a great injustice was committed.

It is hard to understand in this great country how so many of these witnesses for the prosecution could blatantly lie on the stand, seemingly without consequences. These acts compound our concern regarding the fairness of the outcome. Futhermore, he passed the polygraph and we believe that the prosecution\'s main complaining witness should proceed with a polygraph also. Of the 16 counts, there is only one count of alleged rape and that one is based on a rape kit that is &quot;NEGATIVE&quot;. 

We are signing and sending this petition to you because we are concerned about the verdict. Due to the overwhelming evidence in support of the defendant, we are troubled about the process and worried if there was bias and/or manipulation involved. There is obvious prosecutorial misconduct and we humbly request that prosecution should be removed from this case and an independent investigation be launched apart from the District Attorney. 

                                  Respectfully,
                 People that are fighting for truth and justice.

			<title>Petition for Avatar the last Airbender Book 4</title>
			<link>http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/Avatarbook4pet/</link>
			<pubDate>Mon, 22 Dec 2008 20:0:34 CST</pubDate>
			<description>My main point to make this petition is to show how much that we (the    fans of The Avatar the last Airbender show) really would like to see the Fourth Season/ Fourth book of the Avatar. The reason why is because most of the fans i\'ve seen are always asking me:
What happened to azula at the end?
Where is Zuko\'s Mother and is she Alive?
Do Aang and Katara be together?
&amp; Other left happenings that they did not explain.

And so i\'m tired of hearing this, so hopefully if the creaters/makers of Avatar the last Airbeander do &quot;see this&quot; then they might have a a good reason to why they SHOULD make a Fourth book/Season. 

To help this cause of course spam messages on Forums, Websites, Youtube, Anywhere you can leave behind messages so that it can spread.
BUT please do mension the link. I hope that sometime they realize that they left those messages behind and try to make the 4th season to explain how it &quot;REALLY&quot; ended.</description>

			<title>Repeal the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA)</title>
			<link>http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/abolishtheaeta/</link>
			<pubDate>Wed, 31 Dec 2008 15:0:56 CST</pubDate>
			<description>We, the undersigned, call upon the U.S. Congress to repeal Section 43 of title 18, United States Code, entitled the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act, because:

• The AETA is an unnecessary law that will not prevent, reduce or stop terrorism;
• The AETA violates the First Amendment in that its broad language criminalizes lawful activities such as protests, boycotts, picketing, and whistleblowing and, in doing so, chills and suppresses First Amendment protected activity;
• The AETA violates the 14th Amendment, which provides that the law cannot treat individuals differently on arbitrary grounds, such as the content of speech;
• The AETA misplaces federal resources and attention away from effective counter-terrorism;

			<title>Signup4Gary McKinnon</title>
			<link>http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/SIGNUP4GARY/</link>
			<pubDate>Tue, 25 Aug 2009 13:1:50 CDT</pubDate>
			<description>We, the undersigned, call on President President Barack Obama to show compassion for Gary Mckinnon and let him be tried in the United Kingdom.

The mother of computer hacker Gary McKinnon made an impassioned appeal to US president Barack Obama today after her son failed in his latest High Court bid to avoid extradition to America.

The 43-year-old, who suffers from Asperger\\\'s Syndrome (AS), is wanted for trial on charges of hacking into US military networks.

His mother, Janis Sharp, has expressed fears that he could face a 60-year sentence in a tough US jail and would be at real risk of suicide because of his medical condition. She also fears she would never see him again.

But today Lord Justice Stanley Burnton and Mr Justice Wilkie, sitting in London, dismissed his claim for judicial review.

The Daily Mail has led a high-profile campaign to prevent Mr McKinnon\\\'s extradition which has received widespread backing from politicians, celebrities and civil liberties campaigners.

Mr McKinnon, from Wood Green, North London, asked the court to overturn decisions of successive Home Secretaries allowing his extradition to go ahead.

He also challenged a refusal by Keir Starmer QC, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), to put him on trial in the UK on charges of computer misuse. UK trial would allow him to avoid extradition.

Lord Justice Burnton said: \\\'For the reasons set out in the judgment the claims against the secretary of state and DPP are dismissed.\\\' In a 41-page ruling, the judges said extradition was \\\'a lawful and proportionate response to his offending\\\'.

Whether or not Mr McKinnon can appeal further will be decided at a later date.

Lord Justice Burnton said it was a matter that should be dealt with \\\'as expeditiously as possible\\\', probably in September.

Mr McKinnon was not in court today to hear the judgment.
Gary McKinnon

Gary McKinnon, 43, today lost his appeal against extradition to the U.S.

Ms Sharp, said outside court: \\\'We are heartbroken. If the law says it\\\'s fair to destroy someone\\\'s life in this way then it\\\'s a bad law.\\\'

She added: \\\'Our hope still lies with the Government. What more evidence do Gordon Brown and Alan Johnson need to understand what extraditing Gary would do to him, let alone us?

\\\'Gary would not survive and I would never see my son again. All to oblige the Americans?

\\\'If Gary\\\'s was such a dreadful crime, he should have been prosecuted and sentenced here years ago.

\\\'Instead he\\\'s been left tortured by fear for seven years. Compassion can and must now prevail.\\\'

She made an impassioned appeal to Barack Obama to halt attempts to extradite her son.

His lawyers today sent a letter to the U.S. President signed by 40 British MPs asking him to step in and \\\'bring this shameful episode to an end\\\'.

She said: \\\'Stand by us and make this world a better place, a more compassionate place.
An affront to justice

\\\'Obama wouldn\\\'t have this. He doesn\\\'t want the first guy extradited for computer misuse to be a guy with Asperger\\\'s, a UFO guy. He wouldn\\\'t want this.

\\\'I\\\'m just praying, please hear us, Obama, because I know you would do the right thing.

\\\'I know you would have the strength to stand up and not have this.\\\'

Lawyers for Mr McKinnon, who was told the decision yesterday, described him as an \\\'UFO eccentric\\\' who had been searching for evidence of extra-terrestrial life, and described the idea that he was a danger to U.S. national security as \\\'a complete fantasy\\\'.

Karen Todner, Mr McKinnon\\\'s solicitor, said: \\\'This ruling is hugely disappointing. But we shall not stop here.

\\\'Alan Johnson still has the power to act. We have 28 days to review the judgment and will continue to explore every legal avenue until we achieve a just and proper result.

\\\'The Government promised \\\&quot;ample protection\\\&quot; of individuals\\\' rights, but we have yet to see this in practice.

\\\'Extradition without effective safeguards is a denial of justice for every UK citizen.\\\'

If sent to the U.S., Mr McKinnon is likely to receive a substantial prison sentence of up to 12 years, possibly served in a Supermax prison used for high risk inmates, and is unlikely to be repatriated to serve his sentence.

The U.S. authorities said Mr McKinnon was responsible for the \\\'biggest military hack of all time\\\' that had been highly damaging and involved 97 government computers belonging to organisations including the U.S. Navy and Nasa.</description>

			<description>Dear Mr. Mayor,

Back in 2005 you were the only politician that responded when I reached out regarding my case which involves domestic violence. Back then I informed your office of my situation and you had Officer Campbell from your Domestic Violence task force call me back (I still have the letter that I wrote to you from which you rsponded on my situation). You were extremely helpful because you wanted to make sure that my daughter and I were safe. You have done a wonderful job in dealing with domestic violence and you have even set up various satellite offices which help to tackle the various issues that plague women and children victims of domestic violence such as The Family Justice Center. I know you would never condone what has happened below but I feel compelled to let you know because as Mayor of NYC you have always held everyone accountable for their actions and you do not uphold them when they are wrong.

Which is why is brings me great pain to inform you that on March 3 2009 – My daughter was handed over to the respondent father. No address, no contact number was taken by Judge Camacho or the Law Guardian, Marjorie Renee Steinberg for the child or the respondent father. This is very disturbing since Judge Fernando Camacho issued an order of protection for the respondent father to stay away from me and not to cause interference with Aniysah in May 2005. And, it has been more than 150 days without the court having had a home assessment for the father done.
 
The IDV court in Queens (Judge Fernando Camacho) and the assigned law guardian have taken an unacceptable risk with the life, safety and mental well being of Aniysah Colston. This risk was initially motivated by retaliation against myself (the mother), on the law guardian’s behalf as retribution for a grievance filed against the law guardian (in the underlying proceedings) by me (the mother). They need to know that they cannot do what they want to do but have to do what the LAW say’s and they need to be held accountable. 
I need your support to MAKE the Judge and the Law Guardian to be held accountable. This is not just for me and my daughter but this is for every woman and child who have gone thru this in the past and by us signing and speaking up we will be heard so that hopefully no more mothers and their children will ever have to go thru this nightmare again. We must take a stand, together!

Thank you,

Which is why is brings me great pain to inform you that on March 3 2009 – My daughter was handed over to the respondent (abusive) father. No address, no contact number was taken by Judge Camacho or the Law Guardian, Marjorie Renee Steinberg for the child or the respondent father. This is very disturbing since Judge Fernando Camacho himself issued an order of protection for the respondent father to stay away from me and not to cause interference with Aniysah in May 2005. And, it has been more than 180 days without the court having had a completed home assessment for the father.

The IDV court in Queens (Judge Fernando Camacho) and the assigned law guardian have taken an unacceptable risk with the life, safety and mental well being of Aniysah Colston. This risk was initially motivated by retaliation against myself (the mother), on the law guardian’s behalf as retribution for a grievance I filed against the law guardian (in the underlying proceedings). They need to know that they cannot do what they want to do but have to do what the LAW say’s and they need to be held accountable. This is happening to MOTHER\'S OF ALL RACES!

I need your support to MAKE the Judge and the Law Guardian to be held accountable. This is not just for me and my daughter but this is for every woman and child who have gone thru this in the past and by us signing and speaking up we will be heard so that hopefully no more mothers and their children will ever have to go thru this nightmare again. We must take a stand, together!
Please help this mother and child! we have to get the word out on this case!!
 
We have the power to help one another to make sure the abusers can no longer use the courtroom to futher taunt their victims. Let\'s unite and get the word out! If we don\'t speak up then we can\'t disagree on the outcome. This could happen to any one of us, our mother\'s, sister\'s, aunt\'s and nieces so LET\'S SPEAK UP NOW! My daughter and I need your help and race should not play a factor! 
 
Men - if you have a daughter, a mother, an aunt a niece and you know you would not stand for this then my six year old daughter and I need your show of support. We have to get the word out about what is happening!

					Dear Nobel Peace Prize esteemed members of the voting committee ,

As it stands today many people all over the world view your award as an outrageous outlandish award controlled by Socialists and Marxists .

Today an opportunity is provided to the Nobel committee , A Prince has come to surface in an available pool of candidates . As no member of Monarchy has ever won the Nobel Peace Prize , this in itself would be an impressive feat .

After 30 years , his followers select Prince Reza Pahlavi as a candidate for the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize due to his incredible and outstanding credentials .

At the age of 19 , for over 30 years , sense the establishment of a totalitarian theocratic regime inside of Iran , Prince Reza Pahlavi has been fighting for all who live within Iran , for human rights , basic freedoms and secularism .

Not once in 30 years has Prince Reza Pahlavi advocated \' violence \' as a course of action .

Prince Reza Pahlavi believes in democracy and has always believed and lived by the rule that --- people make the decisions , rulers rule by the will of the people .

Sense the controversial elections inside Iran June 12 , 2009 , it has become clearly obvious , no one can dispute the fact that this Islamic Regime does not represent the people .

Because of an overwhelming majority of disillusioned Iranians unable to handle this regime any longer , Prince Reza Pahlavi has stood up on their behalf and taken to the streets , to government officials , to the media , to the newspapers around the world , as the voice , leader and representative of the people of Iran . Increasing his vocal leadership on the issues of Freedom and Human Rights inside Iran .

Prince Reza Pahlavi supports non-violent civil disobedience and peaceful rallies as way to express displeasure with the ruling regime of Iran .

Quoting Prince Reza Pahlavi from a recent interview with telegraph.co.uk [ here is the link http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iran/6519739/Crown-Prince-Reza-Pahlavi-in-exile-I-cant-sit-and-say-nothing-as-Iran-suffers.html ]

Is he ready to be Shah?
\&quot;I\'ve never been concerned about what role I play in the future. I have a unique mission today: I volunteer to lead my compatriots to the point where they can go to the polls and decide for themselves. That day is my finish line. After that, if you want me to be part of it, you tell me. If you don\'t, so be it.\&quot;

Sincerely ,

			<title>Improve Road User Safety outside Kings Arms</title>
			<link>http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/oxfordroaduser/</link>
			<pubDate>Sat, 28 Nov 2009 10:0:12 CST</pubDate>
			<description>Two years ago a student cyclist was killed in a collision with a refuse truck on the Holywell St/Parks Road junction outside the Kings Arms pub in Oxford.
The council spent some time with the university representatives to find ways of improving safety at the junction and concluded that the best way to proceed would be to create a \&quot;shared-space\&quot; - similar to one outside the shopping centre on Queen St. But they wanted to incorporate this into a major re-design of Broad St, which (given the current financial crisis) is quite a long way away. 
In the meantime, the council is doing nothing about the most terrifying road junction in central Oxford, despite admitting an increase in the number of accidents reported on the junction. This junction causes immense distress to road users, who rightly perceive it as very unsafe.
The fact is that the junction is dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians, because traffic lights give no clear indication to them of when to cross safely. Hundreds of road users every day have to double-guess each others actions and this can be fatal once again if someone is in a rush.
The junction is completely unsuitable for road users with disabilities, particularly those with hearing and visual impairments. Disabled users are forced to use other road junctions (e.g. Parks Rd/South Parks Rd), which limits their freedom of movement.
This means we cannot wait for the next accident to happen. The council must drop its excuses and act now.
We demand:
1) An urgent review of road user safety of the Holywell St/Broad St/Catte St/Parks Rd junction outside the Kings Arms pub in Oxford.
2) An immediate installation of cyclist and pedestrian lights on the junction.
3) A new configuration of traffic lights sequence, which will ensure safety and peace of mind for all road users.
4) Ensure that the new pedestrian crossings are fully suitable for disabled road users, in particular, by providing audible signals.

			<description>Ugye emlékszik mindenki? Lehetséges, hogy hiú ábrándokat hajkurászok, de valahogy szeretném ezt a müsort újra a televízió képernyöjén látni, és újra drukkolni az országunkat képviselö; játékosoknak. Szeretnék egy-két kellemes órát tölteni a tv elött, a játékosok bohókás öltözetein és a rájuk váró feladatok végrehajtásán nevetni. Szeretném, hogy a müsor újraindulásával ne &quot;szóljon&quot; a politikáról, gyilkosságokról a tv.

Mi is az a játék határok nélkül?
A játék határok nélkül egy televíziós showmüsor, mely Magyarországon 1993 és 1999 között volt látható a Magyar Televízió 1-es csatornáján.

&quot;Emberek rohangáltak feltünö színü ruhákban, olykor nevetségesen néztek ki a rájuk aggatott ruhákban és nevetséges feladatokat kellett teljesíteniük, mi mégis néztük öket, és a legtöbben örjöngve szurkoltak a HUN feliratú, sárga tréningben futkározó játékosoknak.&quot; (Wikipedia)

A játék célja volt, hogy az uniós országokat egy remek kis közösséggé formálja, de az unión kívüli országok is lehetöségeket kaptak a játékhoz való csatlakozáshoz. Így jutott Magyarország is szereplési lehetöséghez, így a hét év alatt háromszor nyertünk. A játékok során összesen húsz ország vett részt, Belgiumtól, Tunézián át, egészen Máltáig.

Mi a helyzet most a müsorral?
A müsor, mint említettem 1999-ben fejezte be a pályafutását anyagi gondok miatt. Sajnos! 2007-ben lehetöség volt arra, hogy a show újrainduljon nyolc országgal (Belgium, Horvátország, Spanyolország, Görögország, Hollandia, Portugália, Szlovénia és Olaszország), de a rettentö nagy költségek miatt nem valósult meg.

A játék határok nélkül köré a Facebook-on egy kisebb-nagyobb közösség (rajongói csoport) alakult ki, jelenleg 2.612 rajongója van Magyarországról, a világon pedig 16.755. A kommentek között szinte csak pozitív tartalmúak olvashatóak, úgy mint például &quot;nagyon jó volt, klassz lenne, ha újra készítenének:)&quot;, &quot;hol kell alájjíírnija petícióóóót???&quot; és a többi.

Ezúton szólítom fel a Magyar Televíziót, hogy a közremüködésükkel induljon újra a Játék határok nélkül, egy valóban szórakoztató, és tömegeket vonzó showmüsor. A játék határok nélkül 1993-1999 között a legnézettebb show volt nem csak Magyarországon, hanem a világ minden részén. 

Bízom abban, hogy a petícióm a show-t korábban nézök, és kedvelök hatására célba jut, és a Magyar Televízió közremüködésével, sok, hasonló gondolkodású emberek összefogásával a Játék határok nélkül újra a képernyökön lesz.

Ezúton szeretnék minden Játék határok nélkül shomüsort szeretö, és kedvelö rajongót, hogy ha egyetértenek a petíciómmal, akkor azt írják alá ezen online petíciót.

Tisztelettel, és üdvözlettel:

			<title>Save the life of Khalid Awan from injustice in US.</title>
			<link>http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/khalidquyyumawan/</link>
			<pubDate>Wed, 25 Nov 2009 17:0:47 CST</pubDate>
			<description>The following short note comes from them:- 

KHALID
When we first began corresponding with Khalid Awan in 2007, we had no idea why he was serving time in U.S federal prison.We soon discovered Awan was one of the first of thousands of Muslims taken prisoner in the post-9/11 U.S \\\&quot;terror War\\\&quot;.  As the story began unfolding in our letters, we began to realize that this honest, humble and sincere man was not only innocent, but the ongoing injustice being done to him provides critical insight into the mindless, mean-spirited, bureaucratic-yes-men idiocy fueling the illegal U.S. \\\&quot;War on Terror\\\&quot; (and just about everything else that is going wrong in this country). At our insistence, Awan wrote his story and supplied us with whatever documents we requested.  And now, after three months of cooperative efforts, the story of Khalid Awan can be told. We have come to know Awan as a peaceful man engaged in peaceful work, who has been wrongfully accused, detained and repeatedly convicted of crimes he did not commit because he was a Muslim with international connections and an office in New York on 9/11. Anyone who might of the Muslim belief, especially a person raised overseas who has difficulty understanding our language and our corrupt judicial system, can be arrested and detained indefinitely in this country, certainly without a trial before a jury of his peers. Khalid is one of these Muslims.

We present this to you in faith that you will realize a deeper understanding of the levels of complicity necessary for the \\\&quot;land of free\\\&quot; to tolerate the phony war on terror year after year and in hope that Awan --- and all the other million or more political prisoners being held by this country---will one day be reunited with their families.

(Thanks from the bottom of my heart to you, Mr. Don Harkin and Ms. Anne W. Chaimberlain for your devoted, caring attention in helping me expose my plight and injustices being suffered by myself and others. Your humanitarian devotion, on-going help and attitude truly an inspiration to me in my life!)

			<title>The Law regarding the shooting of Dogs on farmland</title>
			<link>http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/DogOwnerRights/</link>
			<pubDate>Mon, 30 Nov 2009 14:0:52 CST</pubDate>
			<description>Dogs where shot by a farmer in front of the owners eyes 20feet away from them, with a farmer yeilding a shot gun, in a field with no sheep!!!!!!!

Now the dogs had ran through a field and where unsupervised for 5 minutes ....and the farmer chased them round an empty field as they where running towards the owners and shot them... one he corned and shot 5 times in front of a 65 year old and a 70 year old who where 20feet away begging him not to shoot their dogs..I am outraged at such a cold callous act!!!

The law states:

9 Killing of or injury to dogs worrying livestock



(3)Subject to subsection (4) of this section, a person killing or causing injury to a dog shall be deemed for the purposes of this section to act for the protection of any livestock if, and only if, either—

(a)the dog is worrying or is about to worry the livestock and there are no other reasonable means of ending or preventing the worrying; or

(b)the dog has been worrying livestock, has not left the vicinity and is not under the control of any person and there are no practicable means of ascertaining to whom it belongs.



We would like to request that due to many occasions as above without due cause to inflict such harm on the animals to petition to clarify the law and insist that farmers CANNOT shoot at will, unless in extreme circumstances which should be clearly written down..

If a dog is worrying pregnant ewes at all, worrying animals for a time deemed necessary to stop the said animal before any harm becomes the animals in question or if an animal has attacked and brought down or bitten seriously (and wounded) an animal then a farmer MUST fire a warning shot in the air.  Most occasions this act is suffice to stop the dogs behaviour.

If the said animal is running away from the animals then it is NOT to be shot but should be detained by the police until the owner or party responsible collects the animal and who will be charged for the above actions under the Dogs Protection of Livestock Act 1953 (c.28)
If the dog is running towards its owner then it should be brought under control and the Farmer should call Police with details of teh responsible party and they should be charged in a court of Law under this Act.
http://www.opsi.gov.uk/RevisedStatutes/Acts/ukpga/1953/cukpga_19530028_en_1

This petition is to ask that there must be provable evidence that the Farmer had no other option but to destroy the said animal and if there is not he may be charged under the  Cruelty to animals act for causing undue harm to a dog.

PLEASE SIGN

			<pubDate>Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:0:38 CST</pubDate>
			<description>In this world lived only one man who fully deserved the title of King of Pop! He was a man who preached happiness and health to all peoples, the man who broke the barriers between races, which protected the world, before his own self-destruction. Man who wiped the salty tears all children in the world, who had a heart full of love and healed painful souls only with his beautiful smile. The artist, which dance took breath also his colleagues, singing his heart he won a million people worldwide and charisma, breathing from picture from which he´s broke the hearts of many a woman! This man has name Michael Jackson,who was a loving father, amazing artist and beautiful man! Nobody else has the right to use the title of King of Pop! But if the title had to have a man who is known only thanks to drugs, sex, alcohol and affairs of love, so then does not help the words of the song Heal the world because this world can not be cured because it destroy their own people, who live in it!
I love Michael Jackson for ever from bottom of my heart! And I do everything, that our king will be King for all time! Just do it with me! </description>

			<title>Bring Back Neverland For the Children In Need!</title>
			<link>http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/BringBackNeverland/</link>
			<pubDate>Sat, 1 Aug 2009 16:1:18 CDT</pubDate>
			<description>For many of us who had a dream, that dream might be gone now that Michael is no longer here to lead us. Well Michael might be gone, but his good heart laid paths before us during his living life for us to continue. Michael\'s dream of healing the world and his journey towards world peace shall be carried forward in all of us now. We are all part of this world and we all have a responsibility to protect it, and protect each other. 

Michael believed in our children, and he used to say \&quot;I see God in the face of children\&quot;. Neverland Ranch isn’t just any place; it is the place where dreams of children in need come true. Michael’s initiative to bring kids into Neverland to play meant a great deal to them in their healing process, just because of the fact that it was his home. He made a great impact on the world, especially the children, and he still does.  

This is a fantastic way to preserve the memory of Michael Jackson in his favorite place on earth and in the same time enlighten needy children’s lives by letting them in once again to have a blast. Neverland Ranch is a haven and a paradise for a child who’s going through a hard time and just by letting them spend a day there or two would really make a difference in their lives. Once again, just the fact that it was a home of the greatest superstar of all time makes the place and the visit magic.

So let’s bring back the little red steam engine, fill up the bar with lots of candy and start playing those cartoons. Let’s bring back the animals and turn on the rides, let’s once again open up the gates to Never Neverland and let the children forget for a while and just have fun.

If we don’t do this, there is a risk that it is going to turn out as a resort, gambling casino or wine-growing. The plans are many and as we speak it is being planned.


Sign the petition if you think Never Neverland should get its right heart back, the way it should be. Let in Peter Pan, Snow White and the seven dwarfs, Mickey Mouse and his Minnie, Pooh and the gang and many, many more !

Make dreams come true, children are our future.

			<title>The plights of Ethiopian asylum seekers in Switzerland</title>
			<link>http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/SwitzerlandAsylumSeekers/</link>
			<pubDate>Tue, 5 Jul 2005 15:1:46 CDT</pubDate>
			<description>The Ethiopian Association in Switzerland (AES) has, for years, been defending the right of asylum seekers here in Switzerland and trying to bring to the attention of the Swiss authorities, international community and pertinent human right organisations the ever-increasing sufferings of Ethiopian asylum seekers in Switzerland by giving a written account to various government offices and through demonstrations staged in Bern and Geneva.

Ever since the adoption of the April 2004 restrictive and inhuman asylum law by the extreme right dominated Swiss government, Ethiopian asylum seekers have been:

• Simply abandoned on the street without any means to live on (some have spent the last rude winter in public toilettes).

• Imprisoned for several months just for attempting to go to another country after they were left on the streets. 

• Denied fair trial, the right for representation by their own lawyers, the right to have interpreters when appearing in court.

• Denied medical treatments and follow-ups except in emergency cases.

• Exposed to inhuman and degrading treatments from some cantonal authorities.

• Denied the right to get married and form a normal matrimonial life as they have been assigned to live in different cantons by the authorities (they are told that they can live together when they get back to their country; engaged couples are prevented from getting married)

• Forced to live in abandoned bomb shelters on isolated mountaintops.

• Left without any identification cards which have been confiscated by the authorities.

While this being the facts here in Switzerland, back home, the EPRDF has been overwhelmingly rejected at the ballot box in the latest election and its international political image has been tarnished by the election fraud, the escalated human right abuses and violent terror that is witnessed all over the country.

As support and sympathy to the oppostion was being echoed all over the globe, the ruling party kept on accusing the Diaspora of assisting the opposition financially and serving as their voice in international forums.

In a futile attempt to break the worldwide chain of protests staged in major cities to condemn the massacres of the 24 th May and mend its political bankruptcy, the government has adopted retaliatory measures against Ethiopians living abroad with the aim of breaking the presumed external financial and political support network of the opposition and neutralize the international protest by getting asylum seekers deported back to their torture camps. 

The EPRDF has signed agreements with the Swiss government to get Ethiopians deported in exchange for a promised financial package. To this effect the foreign Ministry has instructed the embassies and consulates in Europe to issue travel documents, without any condition, to all Ethiopian that their respective governments are willing to deport.

Accordingly the Ethiopian consulate in Geneva has already started implementing the issuance of the travel document and consequently the deportation process.

• According to the Swiss officials more than 1240 Ethiopian “failed asylum seekers” are facing deportation.

• So far the Ethiopian Mission in Geneva has issued travel documents for 13 Ethiopian asylum seekers whose identities have been provided by the Swiss authorities. The documents have already been submitted to the deporting officials.

• The Mission says they have instructions from the Ethiopian foreign Ministry to issue travel documents to any Ethiopian whom the Swiss authorities want to deport.

• So far an Ethiopian from Canton of Lucerne has been deported.

• The deportation of 2 other Ethiopians from Winthrthur is also scheduled on the 13th of July 2005. They already have all the travel details with Lufthansa and other instructions from the police.

In view of the above mentioned facts and the present dangerous situation in Ethiopia, it is inhuman and unacceptable to deport asylum seekers back to their predators.

• We call the Swiss people and human right organizations to react against the decision of their government from committing regrettable acts.

• We urge the reputed Lufthansa and other airways and airliners not to take part in this inhuman act.

• We call on all our compatriots throughout the world to protest to Swiss embassies worldwide and urge the immediate intervention of international and humanitarian organizations to stop the deportation.

			<title>MANIFESTO: Together facing the new totalitarianism</title>
			<link>http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/manifesto/</link>
			<pubDate>Wed, 1 Mar 2006 21:0:48 CST</pubDate>
			<description>After having overcome fascism, Nazism, and Stalinism, the world now faces a new totalitarian global threat: Islamism.
We, writers, journalists, intellectuals, call for resistance to religious totalitarianism and for the promotion of freedom, equal opportunity and secular values for all. 

The recent events, which occurred after the publication of drawings of Muhammed in European newspapers, have revealed the necessity of the struggle for these universal values. This struggle will not be won by arms, but in the ideological field. It is not a clash of civilisations nor an antagonism of West and East that we are witnessing, but a global struggle that confronts democrats and theocrats.

Like all totalitarianisms, Islamism is nurtured by fears and frustrations. The hate preachers bet on these feelings in order to form battalions destined to impose a liberticidal and unegalitarian world. But we clearly and firmly state: nothing, not even despair, justifies the choice of obscurantism, totalitarianism and hatred. Islamism is a reactionary ideology which kills equality, freedom and secularism wherever it is present. Its success can only lead to a world of domination: man&#39;s domination of woman, the Islamists&#39; domination of all the others. To counter this, we must assure universal rights to oppressed or discriminated people.

We reject Â« cultural relativism Â», which consists in accepting that men and women of Muslim culture should be deprived of the right to equality, freedom and secular values in the name of respect for cultures and traditions. We refuse to renounce our critical spirit out of fear of being accused of &quot;Islamophobia&quot;, an unfortunate concept which confuses criticism of Islam as a religion with stigmatisation of its believers.

We plead for the universality of freedom of expression, so that a critical spirit may be exercised on all continents, against all abuses and all dogmas.

We appeal to democrats and free spirits of all countries that our century should be one of Enlightenment, not of obscurantism.

			<description>ABC seems to think personal responsibility is not a worthy cause, and expects to apply a double standard as to what is wrong for same sex couples and what is acceptable for opposite sex couples.  ABC produces Daytime Television and Reality Television, but it not acceptable for same sex couples to do the same.  Adam Lambert is right he is not a babysitter.  If people cannot take personal responsibility it is more reflective on them than it is on Adam Lambert.
