While military spending produces jobs, it produces fewer of them than civilian spending, or even than tax cuts for working people. It's a drain on the economy, in addition to its other significant drawbacks.

Island Energy Services (IES), one of the several petroleum distributors and retailers in Hawai‘i, has purchased all Chevron assets in Hawai ‘i and has become the licensee of Chevron brand, Texaco for the “state”. To enter a license agreement, IES and Chevron have signed a contract allowing IES to utilize the Texaco trademark in Hawai‘i. Texaco in Hawaii also includes Techron in their fuel- a patented fuel additive developed and exclusively produced by the Chevron corporation. This license contract ensures that Texaco in Hawai ‘i has access to both the Chevron trademark and patented product.  Chevron is the main international actor extracting fossil gas claimed by apartheid Israel in the Mediterranean. 70% of Israel’s power production comes directly from Chevron. Through the billions of dollars it pays Israel for its gas extraction licenses, Chevron is also directly contributing to financing Israel’s apartheid and ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Israel has killed over 40,000 Palestinians since October, and the true death toll is estimated to be many thousands higher. In July 2024, the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel is guilty of apartheid against Palestinians and that its military occupation is illegal, calling for ending both, dismantling the settlements, providing full reparations to Palestinian victims, and facilitating the return of displaced people. It has also called for an end to all commercial and business activities that facilitate Israel’s regime of occupation and oppression. This includes Chevron, which is now in direct violation of international law. Chevron’s reputation is beginning to suffer due to this complicity with Israeli apartheid. Join BDS in Hawaii by boycotting Chevron locally. We demand that IES end their contract with Chevron, halt the sale of Chevron patented products, rebrand Texaco in Hawaii gas stations, and cut ties with Israel. 

If they can take away our American right and status quo of liberty, until and if ever found guilty of a crime without any conviction, then not only can they do it to Bilal Muhammad, but you, your loved ones and your families and friends. There is a saying that if they take away the rights of one person, then we are all in danger of losing those rights. So I'm asking all American people to stand together as one to stop this offense for our liberty, so that we can remain a free people.

Unnecessary wars are killing and displacing millions of people. Lobbying politicians for change is unlikely as long as the arms makers can manufacture public consent through a campaign of misinformation.

This should not only end poverty, but present a huge cost-savings to taxpayers since all the bureaucrats who are employed in conducting "means-testing" to dole out poverty-level "assistance" to those "poor and worthy enough" can now be comfortably retired. Ending poverty will also spell the end of lots more government spending, since poverty is the #1 predictor of both crime and disease. If our government can afford to offer billions in aid to Big Pharma, Big Telecom, and Ukraine, it can surely afford to aid the people of the USA.

Because peace is in danger. We want to live in safety. We do not want to die for US/NATO. We refuse to support their criminal wars.

Nuclear proliferation ultimately will lead to worlwide nuclear devastation.

The People desire that all elections be open, honest and transparent. If we truly wish to be a dynamic, fluid, diverse and Democratic Society...then all American Citizens must be informed and stay involved! These digital/internet media outlets would provide a Public Library access to current, as well as past election materials and information...an election in progress, would be documented and made available to the public in real time. The information services provided by these media outlets, would alleviate any fears of having non informed voters.. It would also eliminate any reasons given for certain partisan elections.. such as a county coroner, for example. In certain positions, it should not be required to associate your party affiliations with job requirements..it should not be a factor. Please sign to support election TRANSPARENCY and REFORM..keep the pressure on our Public Servants to be accountable for their actions!

To honor the dead and bring those responsible to account.

Trump is a clear and present danger to our country and planet. He and his administration have created policies that are cruel, vindictive, and divisive. These policies have had detrimental impacts on every family and community. His lack of leadership and incompetence is reflected in his mishandling of the covid19 crisis. Every day we are tormented with broiling angst and frustration voiced by the media and our government representatives; one cogent reminder after another of his gross ineptitude. Where is the outrage reinforced by action so desperately needed in these most challenging times? When will those who have the power to influence stop the madness and stand up with peaceful protesters and say enough is enough? Now is the time and place for government representatives and all concerned citizens to raise our collective voices. We need to heed and follow the example of MSNBC'S Chris Hayes who recently stated with a high sense of urgency, "Trump Must Go!" and Chris Cuomo of CNN who pleaded we all need to be outraged. He utilized the film Network's most telling quote "We need to get mad as hell and yell it loud and clear, we're not going to take this anymore!" We simply cannot wait until November for things to change. The stakes are too high; we must not leave more time for Trump and his minions to enact their draconian agenda, to do more damage to our fragile democracy while affecting in a most egregious manner the most vulnerable amongst us. Daily uttering repetitious litanies of fact-based Trumpian malfeasance taxes our mental health to the limit. Feelings of excessive anxiety, helplessness, and despair, to name a few, do nothing to protect our wellbeing. Thus, we need this petition to be embraced by a collective tidal wave, to march forward with those who demand justice, and say with conviction, enough is enough! Trump Must Go, Now!

As it is now Aides are paid little, $9 to $12/hour (at least in my state), but many have been quitting since they are risking their lives for so little. W have no Health AIde for my wife, which happened since the Coronavirus Pandemic. People who live with their clients are now burdened with care of their disabled relative or friend. This is reaching a crisis point, where disabled people will NEED to move to nursing homes or other congregate-care facilities, which is much more expensive & dangerous.
