Petition to Enforce Laws Fairly , and to Investigate Corruption in Iberville Parish
Target: Office of the LA Attorney General, investigation division/Karen St. Germain
"WE, THE UNDERSIGNED, Do request that the citizen Michael Shawn Sandlin of Maringouin, Iberville Parish, Louisiana, be subjected to the same laws as all other citrizens of the state and parish; and, that the Iberville Parish authorities be investigated for possible corruption and gross incompetence."..........

Protect National Parks from Climate Change
Target: U.S. Senate
From the Atlantic seashore to the Rocky Mountains and on to Yosemite and the Olympic rainforest, our magnificent National Parks and their wildlife face an unprecedented threat from climate change caused by global warming. But it's not too late to save these iconic wild places.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Defend the Clean Air Act
Target: President Obama
We must stand up to the billion-dollar oil and coal lobbyists in Washington and show the Obama administration that we support its efforts to regulate carbon in the atmosphere.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Save America's Ribbon Seals!
Target: Dr. Jane Lubchenco, NOAA
Only 200,000 of the ribbon seals remain globally, so they need federal threatened or endangered protection immediately!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Save Orphan Bears: End Cruel Den Hunts
Target: Prime Minister Vladimir Putin
Each year, den hunting leaves up to 4,000 cubs motherless. Some of these homeless cubs end up as pets to local villagers, while others are taken as cruel props for entertainment or to be eaten in restaurants. Most are abandoned and left to die.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Florida Panthers Could Disappear Forever Without Your Help
Target: U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar
Our government is required by the Endangered Species Act to protect imperiled species on the brink of extinction. But the Florida panther was listed in 1967, and this vanishing animal’s home still hasn’t been protected -- more than 32 years later!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Equal Rights for All Families
Target: President Obama and the U.S. Congress
Yet because of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), enacted in 1996, the federal government doesn't recognize a single one. This hurtful and discriminatory law denies millions of Americans federal recognition of marriage and the protections that come with that -- Social Security survivors' benefits, equal treatment under U.S. immigration laws, the right to take leave to care for a spouse, and more.
New legislation to repeal DOMA has just been introduced! Now is the time to let Congress and President Obama know that DOMA must go.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Equal Opportunity for All
Target: U.S. Senate
In 29 states, it's still legal to fire someone because they're gay; in 38 states it is legal to fire someone for being transgender.
Thousands of hardworking lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans have lost their livelihoods simply because of who they are.
Send your Senators a message today and encourage them to co-sponsor this critical legislation.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Act Now for Trade Justice!
Target: U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador Ron Kirk
Join with other justice-minded people to use this October 12th to push for the renegotiation of NAFTA and forge a new history based on mutual respect, human rights, and dignity.
NAFTA and its sister agreements have resulted in a "race to the bottom" that has eroded governments' ability to set food, environmental, consumer and labor protections in the public interest. The only winners with the implementation of NAFTA 15 years ago are transnational corporations.
That's why Grassroots International and the groups we work with on the "losing end" of globalization -- peasants, indigenous communities, landless workers -- want to see an end to corporate-led trade policies.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
U.S. ONLY
Tell the Obama Administration to Protect our Forests
Target: Secretary Tom Vilsack
The state of Colorado is trying to weaken protections for ecologically sensitive lands. If they are successful, this could set a dangerous precedent for other states. The deadline for comments is October 3, so please send a message today.
