New Zealand Bring Justice for Dan Markel: Charge Charlie and Donna Adelson for his murder
We, the undersigned, urge State Attorney Jack Campbell to bring charges against Charlie and Donna Adelson, based on investigators’ probable cause to believe that they were responsible for the murder of Dan Markel. Six years ago, on July 18, 2014, Markel, an FSU professor and father of two young boys, was executed in broad daylight in his garage in Betton Hills.

Defend Gay Conversion Therapy
We, the undersigned, consider that Theresa May's proposed ban on offering therapy, healing or prayer for people wishing to be free of same-sex attraction is an attack on freedom of speech, on freedom of choice, on freedom of association, and inasmuch as Christianity may form the backdrop to a desire to be free from same-sex desires, or may constitute an element of the healing process offered, on religious freedom. We call upon Members of Parliament to reject this attempt to to criminalise ideas.

Decriminalize possession of Psilocybin Mushrooms
Europe's strongest hallucinogenic mushroom, 'Liberty cap', are thriving in Denmark. The mushroom contains the psychoactive compound called psilocybin - a so-called psychedelic substance - which recent research indicates has a huge potential for treating depression, as well as helping people out of their nicotine and alcohol dependence. It stands proud out there, swaying in the Danish mole, in the woods and on open plains. The fungus is the strongest of its kind in Europe. And in these autumn da

Fish Farming
The fishing industry is killing the ocean- over fishing just to fill the stupid quotas "needed" to please the markets. The excess fish are just dumped back in the ocean and at that stage, all of them are dead. Fish farming is a solution to save the Ocean and the endangered species living within it. When the commercial fishing boats are trolling along the drop off points and the reefs to catch the snapper, salmon, trout and marlin, a lot of the time they get more than just that. They end up getti

Stop Corruption in NZ Family Court System. Reform Family Court petition
Millions of dollars change hand a year in this industry which is responsible for destroying hundreds of thousands of lives and families each year. When having their authority challenged, the truth told and their incompetencies in their processes and practices highlighted, they resort to bringing into question the state of health of the parent and the emotional well-being of the children, things that should not be a consideration. This cannot continue. Families are being ripped apart purely becau

Share the stop zones or Create more designated stops for Rideshare drivers!!
Because there are a lot of essential ways for a passenger to travel around, there’s Uber X & Ola cabs that are very popular as well as convenient with having the App to respond to & usually within 5-15mins you have service. Part of the convenience though is unfortunately not so convenient when it comes to picking or dropping a passenger. I myself have been working for Uber since August 2018, joined Uber X in July this year then Ola cabs 3weeks ago. During these times of being a busy taxi
