			<link>http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bisexualpeople/</link>
			<pubDate>Mon, 9 Nov 2009 18:0:27 CST</pubDate>
			<description>im bisexual myself, and the hatrid that i get online is stupid, so much so it doesnt affect me anymore. but its still affecting many people out there.

i live by the saying \&quot;if you dont except yourself who will?\&quot;
but that still doesnt stop all the racism and discrimination against bisexual people. im doing this petition to see how many people really care about equality and respect to everyone no matter their sexuality.

i want to prove to people that bisexuals\' get it in the neck jsut as much as anyother racial discrimination there is.

i got slapped for being bisexual, was it necessary, i think not. 

im making a stand, and to stand together i hope we will. bisexual discrimination must stop.

			<link>http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/stupakamend/</link>
			<pubDate>Mon, 9 Nov 2009 15:0:00 CST</pubDate>
			<description>Last Saturday, the House of Representatives passed HR 3962, the health care reform bill, with the pro-life Stupak-Pitts Amendment attached.  This amendment prohibits federal health care funds from being used to support abortions.

Now, the anti-life forces are gathering in the wind, readying their campaign to have the amendment removed from the Senate version of the bill so they can continue to profit from the abortion holocaust in America.

We must fight back.

Tell your Senate representatives that you will not tolerate the advancement of the culture of death here.  Tell them to keep the amendment in the bill!</description>

			<description>Our equality law is below par

The Portmarnock Golf Club judgement last week exposed its weakness

Half the population continues to be discriminated against by a prestigious club. It is business as usual for men only.

But why stop at one club and one activity. What if the next case is about a tennis club that serves the needs of settled people or a GAA club that wonít allow gay and lesbian people?

You can help change Ireland equality bogey

Tell the government to change the law	
Tell Portmarnock to voluntarily change its outdated men only rule</description>

			<pubDate>Sun, 8 Nov 2009 06:0:56 CST</pubDate>
			<description>When people hate some celebrity or a band, they trash talk them on the internet. 
Don\\\\\\\'t you realize how pathetic you sound? You sound like a loner who spends their whole entire day in front of the computer with no life.
I hate Miley Cyrus\\\\\\\'s music more than anyone in the world, &amp; I wouldn\\\\\\\'t sink so low that I\\\\\\\'d trash talk her on the internet. 
Plus, who do you think you\\\\\\\'re writing the trash talk for? It\\\\\\\'s not like the person you wrote about is ACTUALLY going to waste their time reading it? If they did, they\\\\\\\'d just laugh. :D
The only one who\\\\\\\'s wasting their time is you. You\\\\\\\'re only proving that you\\\\\\\'re pathetic enough to do this.
I\\\\\\\'m just writing this \\\\\\\'cause I\\\\\\\'ve read too many trash talks that I felt like writing this and letting it out :D

Thank youuu.

			<title>Stop Animal Cruelty!</title>
			<link>http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/defeatanimalcruelty/</link>
			<pubDate>Sun, 8 Nov 2009 01:0:27 CST</pubDate>
			<description>animals should be treated with the same human rights, just like all humans are treated with equal rights and privileges. 

\\\&quot;We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form.\\\&quot;  ~William Ralph Inge, Outspoken Essays, 1922

Examples of animal cruelty:
In many circuses, wild and exotic animals are trained through the use of intimidation and physical abuse. Former circus employees have reported seeing animals beaten, whipped, poked with sharp objects and even burned to force them to learn their routines! Elephants who perform in circuses are often kept in chains for as long as 23 hours a day from the time they are babies.

More than 15 million warm-blooded animals are used in research every year. 

Scientists estimate that 100 species go extinct every day! That\\\'s about one species every 15 minutes. It is estimated that on average it takes 1,000 dogs to maintain a mid-sized racetrack operation. 

New greyhounds are continually entering the system to replace greyhounds that grade-off due to injury, age or poor performance. There are currently over 30 tracks operating in the United States. 

Tens of thousands of wild and domesticated horses from the United States are cruelly slaughtered every year to be used for horsemeat in Europe and Asia. Since the last horse slaughter plants in the U.S. were closed in 2007, thousands of horses have been shipped to Canada and Mexico for slaughter. 

A fur coat is pretty cool—for an animal to wear. Eighteen red foxes are killed to make one fox-fur coat, 55 minks to make a mink coat. !!!

THESE ARE ONLY A FEW EXAMPLES OF ANIMAL CRUELTY. please, please, please sign this petition, every small step helps in a big way. 
so please support this petition and help stop it.</description>

			<title>A protest against desecration </title>
			<link>http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/jannatalbaqi/</link>
			<pubDate>Sat, 7 Nov 2009 16:0:51 CST</pubDate>
			<description>This petition is to mark a protest of the desecration of the mausoleums in Jannat al-Baqi (Medina) of the blessed Prophet\'s (PBUH) family.  Although this occured in 1925, Muslims across the world express their anger and outrage at such disrespect to ones who are held in high esteem and honour.   

Jannat al-Baqi has been cornered off by walls, like a cage by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia not allowing Muslims access to this respected site, especially during the annual Hajj ceremony.  Every Muslim has a right to Jannat al-Baqi and it is not only for the eyes of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

We the undersigned are calling on the re instatement of the shrines that were demolished and permission of visitation to the graves of the blessed ones.  There is no humanitarian law that stipulates that it is a grave error to visit an area of historical significance, be that related to religious figures or not.  There is nothing to suggest that the building of mausoleums causes detriment to human beings.  We strongly condemn the knocking down of any religious monument, yet the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have been freely allowed to pursue such an agenda.  We hereby plead to the United Nations to intervene and aid us in our protest.

			<title>Save the Linguistics Program at Williams College</title>
			<link>http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savelinguistics/</link>
			<pubDate>Sat, 7 Nov 2009 15:0:02 CST</pubDate>
			<description>To Whom It May Concern, 
	
	In the light of the recent denial of tenure to Professor Sanders, we – the Williams College Language Club on behalf of the undersigned – feel the need to raise the following points in support of the continuation of a Linguistics Program on campus.
	While we acknowledge the difficulties which the current financial crisis presents to the College, we feel that the costs of losing a Linguistics Program far outweigh the cost-saving benefits which cutting such a program would provide. 
	The benefits that come with a healthy Linguistics Program are many, and accrue even to students not taking Linguistics classes. Without a Linguistics Program, the study of languages at Williams takes a great blow, as Linguistics provides a framework for the analysis of language itself, without which languages exist in a vacuum. But Linguistics is also central in disciplines such as Psychology, Cognitive Science, Philosophy, Comparative Literature, and even Mathematics. Linguistics is also an established academic field in its own right, a field which helps many in the development of a successful career. Linguistics applies Division III logic and reasoning to disciplines considered in the domain of Divisions I and II. As a Liberal Arts college committed to providing students with a holistic education, Williams’ curriculum would suffer greatly from the loss of such an interdisciplinary program.
	As a Liberal Arts college competing for students who are also applying to other Liberal Arts schools, Williams needs to remain competitive in order to continue to attract the talented and diverse student body it currently boasts. Linguistics is an integral part of being a complete liberal-arts institution. Schools such as Swarthmore, Haverford, and Bryn Mawr boast entire departments devoted to Linguistics, which not only gives them a recruitment edge, but also supports their extensive foreign languages and literatures program. As proud Williams students, we wish to see our institution leading its peers in all fields, not falling into the middle of the pack. 
	According to Professor Nathan Sanders, roughly 5 - 10% of all Williams students take Linguistics classes over the course of their careers. This amounts to at least 25 – 50 students per class year, or at least 100 – 200 students on campus at any given time. This critical mass provides a strong answer to those who might argue that because of the small number of Linguistics Majors over the years,  the program has little relevance for the student body as a whole. As previously stated, a grounding in Linguistics can be useful for students of all disciplines, regardless of how many choose to major in the subject. 
	In the light of the aforementioned points, we propose the following. To secure the future of Linguistics, we propose two basic options. In our best-case scenario, a visiting professor would be hired for the coming year to teach Linguistics 100 and at least one other course.  We recognize the difficulties of the current situation, and so we propose another option, modeled on the Critical Languages program, in which a Professor is connected with interested students who learn via virtual classrooms. We feel that interest in the Linguistics program is more than enough to justify temporarily integrating Linguistics into this existing rubric. We look forward to working with the administration to establish creative solutions which take into account both the College’s needs and students’ academic passions.

Sincerely,
		The Williams College Language Club, on behalf of:

Consultation period and termination notices
A termination notice tells you when the last day of your employment will be, eg the day you will be made redundant. Termination notices cannot be issued until after the consultation has been completed, even if the consultation needs to go beyond the minimum period.

If the consultation is genuinely completed within the minimum period you may be issued with a termination notice. This cannot take effect until after the minimum consultation period ends unless you agree to leave early, for example by taking pay in lieu of notice.

A consultation must begin ‘in good time’ and take as long as is necessary. It should be conducted with a view to reaching agreement, but can end before agreement is reached. Your employer should give your reps a fair opportunity to comment on the proposals and suggest alternatives, to which your employer should give genuine consideration. The final decision rests with your employer.

There is no time limit to how long a consultation period may last but there is a minimum period between the start of the consultation and actual dismissals. The length of the minimum period depends on the number of redundancies that your employer is proposing, if they are proposing:

20 - 99 redundancies, they must start the consultation at least 30 days before any dismissals take effect 
100 or more redundancies, the consultation must start at least 90 days before any dismissals take effect

The above statment is copyed pasted for directgov website

Please sign this petition to try and get out 90 days consultation.

			<title>Deport Younes Abdullah Mohammed/Yousef al-Khatta</title>

			<pubDate>Sat, 7 Nov 2009 11:0:06 CST</pubDate>
			<description>Two radical converts preach hate for the United States. 
Yousef al-Khattab is a Jew who converted to Islam after living in Israel, while Younes Abdullah Mohammed calls himself a U.S. citizen \\\&quot;by default,\\\&quot;  The two men admire Osama bin Laden and say the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks were justified by U.S. foreign policy.

They hand out fliers outside the Islamic Cultural Center of New York, sometimes known as the 96th Street Mosque, on Third Avenue between 96th and 97th streets poisoning the minds of our youth.

\\\&quot;Americans will always be a target -- and a legitimate target -- until America changes its nature in the international arena,\\\&quot; Mohammed told CNN in an interview airing Friday. 

Americans are getting fed up with certain Muslims groups coming here and complaining about the American Way of Life, while at the same time enjoying the SAME life.  
Americans are tired of constantly being told they are \\\&quot;offending\\\&quot; certain Muslim groups, Americans are tired of you if you are in that group.

Shortly after 911 in California an Amercan Citizen respectfully displayed the American Flag in memory of the Americans that parished in the 911 tragedy and subsequently was ordered by the court to remove said flag because it offended a nearby Muslim Community. 
Since the Civil War Tens of thousands American lives have shed blood, suffered and died  for this AMERICAN FLAG to give you the privledge of living a free American life.  If anyone is so offended may they peacefully return to thier respective countries. 

Younes Abdullah Mhammed &amp; Yousef al-Khatta are broken people spreading their poison to American Youth ,who in this troubled time will reach out for any radical \\\&quot;seemingly\\\&quot; form of help.  They are soliciting hate for America on the streets of America while our government does nothing about it.

Americans claim to support their Military; nows your chance to prove it, these two just spit on your son, husband, brother daughter, sister, and wife that serve in the military.

I\\\'m tired of sitting back, and watching these Non-Americans degrade our people, our country and our way of life.

If you have any doubt in your mind please play this video.

			<description>Here it is, the sickening truth behind pet stores.  Up to 90% of their puppies come from puppy mills.  Puppy mills are puppy factories where the dogs breed until their bodies can no longer handle it and die.  Not only that, but they face unsanitary conditions along with insufficient health care, food, water and human company.  Because of these conditions, breeding dogs may carry diseases passing on to the puppies that will be purchased at the pet stores.  The puppy mills\' only goal is to gain profit by breeding the dogs as much as possible until they are useless.  These breeding dogs do not get to see life outside of the puppy mills.  They don\'t get walks, they don\'t get to run around the parks, they don\'t get to learn tricks, nor any of those typical dog-lifestyle.  Their only best friend, a man, whom they rarely even have a chance to interact with, leaves them in an overcrowded cage with others.  There is no law, nor inspection on these puppy mills that hold up to 75 animals housed in hutch-style cages with wire floors.  Some are indoors, some are outdoors, but both face equally inhumane conditions whether if it\'s flies and other irritating growths under those wires, or ammonia vapors and odors permeating badly aired buildings.  These puppy mills exist across America, and they are the shocking secret that many dog lovers unfortunately, do not recognize from pet stores.  
With regard of the facts just stated above, there will be a law on puppy mills.  Puppy mills will either be abandoned and no longer able to breed dogs in such a way again, or have weekly inspections for healthy, sanitary conditions including a record for the appropriate limited breeding.  Thus, pet stores will continue to gain profits, dogs will be treated as a real man\'s best friend, and everyone will be able to purchase a perfectly, healthy puppy.

			<description>Allow Pets in Privately Owned Dwellings Target:Gary Nietz Property Management for Sand Piper Bend MHP Sponsored by: Elaine Sydow, Private Mobile Home Owner. 

Many people in Sand Piper Bend MHP and other MHP\'s have been denied the opportunity to improve their health and well-being with pet companionship in dwellings they own. Private home ownership should allow responsible persons to keep pets, but all MHP owners in Sand Piper Bend live under no-pet deed restrictions.  Seniors and lower middle-class people who live in Sand Piper Bend MHP and other forms of common interest ownership communities want a change.  

We want a law like the one in California that says \&quot;No governing documents shall prohibit an owner of a separate interest within a common interest development from keeping at least one pet within the common interest development subject to reasonable rules and regulations of the association.\&quot; 

Secondly the Cat in question is a Therapy Kitty and is totally an inside cat and does not go outdoors.  The Cat would not cause any concern for any resident in the park as the cat is never allowed outside. The cat has helped my me in coping with the loss of my husband, and has greatly increased her health. Also the cat has been a great companion for my granddaughters. 

We have received a notice that the cat must be removed from our home. We feel since the cat is not allowed outside it would not bother any of the other residents. Please Sign this petition to help us get a change in this policy to allow therapy pets in private homes, especially if they are not allowed outdoors.

We love our kitty and it would be like losing one of my children, but  we do not want to lose our home either.   

Thank you.

			<title>Stop Whole Foods\&#039; support of Chinese labor!</title>
			<link>http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/stopwholefoodschina/</link>
			<pubDate>Fri, 6 Nov 2009 20:0:05 CST</pubDate>
			<description>Although Whole Foods states that they support fair labor and fair wage, and states that their Chinese plants are inspected by a third party auditor to ensure that they meet certain standards, this does not change the fact that American jobs are being taken. Plus, we as consumers still have to worry about some bias when it comes to the auditor. Also, the bags have to be shipped thousands of miles overseas by vehicles that consume non-renewable fossil fuels. Please sign this petition to help make a difference. When you sign this petition, you state that you want Whole Foods Market to move its production to the United States.</description>
