It was a well-meaning campaign designed to address bullying of LGBT students in Australian schools. But a day after its high-profile launch - backed by some celebrities - the petition was withdrawn following a swirl of controversy. So what happened?On Tuesday the open letter, organised by a Sydney man, called on Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to commit A$6m (£4m; $4.5m) to funding a new anti-bullying programme. With a focus on LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender] issues in schools and domestic violence, the programme would target "all forms of bullying, including that which is based on religion, race, gender, faith,...

Amazon employees are up in arms and stepping up the pressure on the higher brass to remove Amazon advertisements from the Breitbart News site. The overwhelming consensus from frustrated employees is the “alt-right” news site promotes discrimination, and it makes them feel “unsafe.” According to internal emails in February retrieved by BuzzFeed News, dozens of Amazon employees are voicing deep concerns through internal emails that Amazon advertise on Breitbart, despite being an outspoken critic of President Trump’s immigration policies. They are urging the company to cut ties with the news site.

In filing his repeated and frivolous law suits against the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, in the matter of President Trump's legal authority to protect the nation by Presidential Executive Orders, Hawaii Attorney General Douglas Chin, is endangering the people of the Hawaiian Islands. Chin's ill advised law suits are bringing a bad name and disgraceful reputation to the State of Hawaii and the residents in their entirety before the rest of the nation and the world. His efforts may even cause international terrorists to focus on establishing Hawaii as a 'friendly base for operations'. In filing...

At the time of writing, a UK petition to refuse President Donald Trump an official state visit with the Queen has hit nearly 2 million signatures. Under British legislation, any petition with this amount of signatures MUST be debated in Parliament. On the surface this seems like a fairly reasonable exercise in the democratic process. But it is not. It’s a fake. And the people behind it are the same people protesting the Trump presidency in the UK and the US. Every major newspaper (both print and online), has ran articles on this petition. It is being used a propaganda...

PHOENIX — The Phoenix City Council will be asked to vote in two weeks on the issue of becoming a sanctuary city, a councilman said Wednesday. “A citizen dropped off a petition requiring a public vote on whether or not the city of Phoenix is going to vote on becoming a sanctuary city,” Councilman Sal DiCiccio said, who also tweeted the news.

President Trump stood by his promise to nominate a strong constitutionalist worthy of Justice Scalia’s seat. Now he’s calling on you to stand by his side as he faces an uphill fight in the Senate to confirm the Honorable Judge Neil Gorsuch. Tell Senate Democrats to confirm Judge Gorsuch to the Supreme Court.

George Soros is a menace to the free world and stands in the way of making America great again. He is guilty of the following crimes: 1) Financially supports open sedition in major American cities resulting in millions of dollars of property damage as well as loss of life. 2) Attempts to manipulate democratic elections by donating millions of dollars to his preferred candidates. 3) Seeks to curtail American sovereignty. In his own words: "The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States ... Changing [the] attitude and policies of the United States remains my...

A rival petition set up in opposition to the 1.5 million people who have asked for Donald Trump's state visit to be cancelled has passed 100,000 signatures. This means it will be considered for a debate in Parliament. The petition says: "Donald Trump should be invited to make an official State Visit because he is the leader of a free world and U.K. is a country that supports free speech and does not believe that people that appose [sic] our point of view should be gagged."

This petition on WhiteHouse.gov was started by some heroic American by the name of A.Z. looking to repeal the National Firearms Act of 1934.

Everyone who owns a firearms or enjoys freedom should sign this immediately! https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/repeal-nfa

According to reports, Professor Matt Lasner's husband - holding a child of his...

**SNIP** That purpose was never fully realized. Yes, the announcement of the web page’s existence was followed a storm of petitions, but many of them called for Obama’s impeachment or demanded that states be permitted to secede from the union. Over the years, the aritifice, created by a man who promised falsely to oversee the most transparent administration ever, has become a monument to his naïveté and shortsightedness. So what was the new petition? It was a two-fer. It is a demand that the next major U.S. Navy Ship be named “USS The Deplorables.” It is meant to be in-your-face...

Hundreds of students and faculty at the University of Virginia have asked the school’s president to stop quoting President Thomas Jefferson, the university’s founder, because of his slave-owning past. The letter garnered 469 signatures before being sent to University President Teresa Sullivan on Friday, The Cavalier Daily reported. It was prompted by an email sent last week by Ms. Sullivan promoting unity in light of Donald Trump’s presidential victory.  “Thomas Jefferson wrote to a friend that University of Virginia students ‘are not of ordinary significance only: they are exactly the persons who are to succeed to the government of our country, and...

<p>On December 19, the Electors of the Electoral College will cast their ballots. If they all vote the way their states voted, Donald Trump will win. However, they can vote for Hillary Clinton if they choose. Even in states where that is not allowed, their vote would still be counted, they would simply pay a small fine - which we can be sure Clinton supporters will be glad to pay!</p>

I decided if the snowflakes can create a petition to get the election overturned, I could put together one to have the DOJ do their dang jobs.

Your 3 Members of Congress Street Address City, State Zip Dear Your 3 Members of Congress, More than 15 million Americans are out of work and this number is growing quickly. However, the United States continues to admit more than 1 million legal immigrants each year. Why do you and your colleagues in Congress continue to allow this to happen? Do you not realize that these ludicrously high numbers are not representative of our nation's proud immigration tradition? For the first 200 years of its existence, the United States admitted about 250,000 immigrants each year. From 1946 to 1970 this...
