    Petition to French Hill, Leslie Rutledge

    Protect DACA

    Please support the DACA program.  Without the DACA program hundreds of thousands of individuals that came here as young children without a choice or voice will live in fear of being deported to a country they do not know whether it be Mexico, Canada, Africa, or Asia. This is our country. We have grown up in the United States of America and have learned to love the song of The Star-Spangled Banner at every football game. We have learned English, attended school, lived the American life. Why throw these individuals to a place that is not known to them? Imagine if it was your child that was undocumented and in fear of getting deported to an unknown country. We have grown to love the USA. We need your help to stay. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is an American immigration policy founded in June 2012. Although, deferred action does not provide lawful status, DACA allows certain undocumented immigrants, who entered the country as minors, to receive a renewable two-year period of deportation relief and eligibility for a work permit if they meet numerous requirements.  The requirements are that the applicants: • Were under the age of 31 as of June 15, 2012; •Came to the United States before reaching your 16th birthday; •Have continuously resided in the United States since June 15, 2007, up to the present time; •Were physically present in the United States on June 15, 2012, and at the time of making the request for consideration of deferred action with USCIS; • are currently in school, have graduated from high school, have obtained a GED, or have been honorably discharged from the Coast Guard or armed forces; •have not been convicted of a felony offense, a significant misdemeanor, or more than three misdemeanors of any kind; and • do not pose a threat to national security or public safety. Applicants will have to provide documentary evidence of all the required criteria. In addition, every applicant must complete and pass a biographic and biometric background check for every 2 year renewal. DACA status will be revoked of those who are convicted of a felony offense, a significant misdemeanor, or more than three misdemeanors of any kind; and pose a threat to national security or public safety When the program was announced in 2012, there was general support among the U.S. general public. Nearly two-thirds of U.S. adults (63%) approved of the program, according to a 2012 Pew Research Center survey. The program currently benefits hundreds of thousands of individuals, many of whom have thrived thanks to the opportunities it provides. Under DACA, immigrants have been able to start businesses, pursue higher education, and contribute to their communities. Extending work permits to DACA recipients translates into higher tax revenues. These revenues support vital programs such as Social Security and Medicare—even as undocumented immigrants are unable to access these and other social safety net programs. DACA recipients join the workforce, pay into the social security system, pay taxes, and, live more fully as contributing members of society.  One of the best things that you can do as an ally is to become informed about the DACA program and help dispel some of the myths and misconceptions that surround it. WE NEED YOUR VOICE !

    Protect Australia's Dingo

    Poisons including 1080 are Used to kill Dingoes as well as shooting and hunting for pelts.    The use of  poisons in our environment to kill Dingoes, aka "wild dogs"  is having  disastrous impact on the ecological biodiversity of this country. The Dingo is our top order land predator, and  maintains ecological  balance in the  biodiversity. Poisons, used for 70 years in this country, are unnecessary, and simply  lining the pockets of poisons manufacturers.  Not only have toxins like 1080 brought about cruel and unnecessary deaths in millions of Dingoes,  kills native wildlife, has killed directly or indirectly the threatened Spot Tailed Quoll,  lizards, birds and raptor it is killing companion animals across Australia in unprecedented numbers.  26 of Australia's leading environmental  Scientists have endorsed NOT killing our iconic Australian Dingo  on environmental grounds and both Federal and State Government must  listen. Victorian Push to Renew Aerial Baiting    On 31 December 2019 the permission to aerial bait in Victoria was due to  expire, it is unauthorised,  and Agriculture Department sought permission from the Commonwealth Government to renew for another 5 years. Use of aerial baiting in six zones in Victoria has killed thousands of Dingoes, protected in Victoria under the FFG Act and directly and indirectly kills the threatened Spotted Tail Quoll as well as native wildlife, birds, lizards and wallabies. There is no research that has taken place about the affects of 1080 poison on species that survive from a small dose of poison, or those that are less susceptible. Companion Animals cruelly destroyed by 1080  Please meet Betty.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_1iHJQWgy4&feature=youtu.be Rex On 11 April 2014, Rex died a painful death after eating  a Sodium Monofluoroacetate (1080) poisoned bait, in his suburban backyard in Collie, Western Australia. Tests undertaken  showed 1080 dry baits caused the death. Betty and Kenya met the same fate. Betty died before her young owners eyes, the family had stopped in the outback, no signs, no warnings about 1080.    Malu and 11 other camp dogs had a similar fate, no signs, no warnings. Baiting took place in a remote community near Indulkana,  with absolutely no regard for local populations. Graziers have no regard for others when it comes to 1080 baiting. But these are only 3 of hundreds of thousands of domestic dogs that die each year in a cruel way.Thousands of companion animals die each year in Australia from 1080 poison, many go unreported because it is so distressing for the owners to observe. A long, painful death. photo Gary Meredith

    Petition to County of Kaua’i, Planning Department Kaua’i County

    Protect Pa’akai in Hanapepe

    The Salt Ponds of Hanapepe form a rich cultural hub for production of salt (pa’akai) a culturally significant resource traditionally cultivated and gathered by Native Hawaiians since time immemorial.  The Salt Ponds of Hanapepe are one of the very few remaining areas in the island where Native Hawaiian families continue to exercise their constitutionally protected traditional and customary salt making practices.  These practices are passed down from generation to generation to the next and into perpetuity.  Hanapepe Salt Ponds are only one traditional salt production centers in existence that is not used for profit or Sale.  The Hanapepe Salt Ponds are listed on the historic register site #00049 and state site #50-30-09-00049. Pa’akai is used both ceremonially and medicinally.  It is critical to the preservation and perpetuation of many other Native Hawaiian traditions and customary practices.  The continued practice of traditional salt harvesting, interwoven into the expansive fabric of Native Hawaiian Culture, has far reaching effects. Maverick Helicopter, Smokey Mountain, is going before County of Kaua’i Planning Commission to apply for after the fact permits and permits that would expand operations.   They are one of the biggest helicopter companies and expanding their facilities will have impacts on Hawaiian Salt Farming.   The close proximity of Port Allen Airport to the Hanapepe Salt Ponds and its potential contribution to the pollution, noise, and chemical runoff has been a longstanding concern for pa’akai practitioners. Please sign our petition against any Smokey Mountain, Maverick Helicopters. To Obtain a Class IV Zoning Permit and Use Permit to allow After-the-Fact improvements and proposed modifications to the existing helicopter facility at Port Allen Airport, Permit Applications Nos. Class IV Zoning Permit Z-IV-2019-13, Use Permit U-2019-10   *** DO NOT DONATE MONEY **** It doesn't come to us.  THANK YOU!

    Protect Internet Privacy: Stop CISPA!

    Under the guise of cyber-security, CISPA (the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act) is a bill that would grant corporations the power to share our emails, Facebook messages, and other sensitive online data with the government - all without a warrant. CISPA would kill online privacy as we know it - nullifying the laws that require big corporations to keep our information private from government agencies like the National Security Agency. Those corporations wouldn't have to notify you that they have done this and you wouldn't be able to take legal action against them if they made a mistake when sharing your information. While strong information security is critical to privacy and civil liberties, CISPA does almost nothing to prevent this. All it does is give the government access to your information. We beat CISPA last year when hundreds of thousands of Americans signed online petitions to let lawmakers know that our online privacy rights are not negotiable. But this bill is back and politicians who want the government to be able to read your emails and see what you purchase online are hoping you won’t speak out this time.Together we can beat CISPA again!

    Petition to Department of Homeland Security

    Protect Protestors from Federal Officers

    The goal of this petition is to stop federal officers from detaining protestors in Portland, Oregon. These officers are arresting peaceful protestors in unmarked vehicles without identifying themselves. Gov. Kate Brown has described this as a “blatant abuse of power”. This abuse of power is coming from the White House and Homeland Security Secretary, Chad Wolf who has generalized the protestors in Portland as a “violent mob”, which is completely false. Mr. Trump said he wanted to “dominate” protesters by using federal agents because the local government “couldn’t handle it”. The federal officers have no reason to be intervening in Portland and are doing more harm than good. One peaceful protester, Donavan La Bella, was holding a sign and was shot in the head by impact munition by a federal officer. He was hospitalized for a scull fracture. This violence would not have occurred if federal officers had not been sent to Portland unnecessarily. Numerous other protestors have been assaulted and arrested without a good cause. They are being given felony charges and are unable to post cash bail. Members of Congress from Oregon have agreed that the agents are doing more harm than good. There is no excuse for this abuse of power and the Department of Justice and Homeland Security need to be held accountable and put a stop to this unlawful violence.   Here are some numbers and emails you can call and write to about the issue: 1. Representative John Lively: (503) 986-1412  Rep.JohnLively@oregonlegislature.gov 2. Representative Teresa Alanso Leon: (503) 986-1422  Rep.TeresaAlonsoLeon@oregonlegislature.gov 3. Department of Homeland Security Headquarters  (202) 282-8000 (202) 282-8495 4. Department of Justice (202) 353-1555 5. U.S. Marshals Service Chief of Staff (202) 307-9100 6. Attorney General William Barr (202) 353-1555
