Demand the FCC Remove Rush Limbaugh From the Air.Rush Limbaugh's horrid rants DON"T act in the public's best interests. Any radio station that broadcasts his show violates the rules established by the F.C.C. This EVIL blowhard should be driven off the air, as he serves only the most extreme right-wing propaganda. None of his diatribes deserve ANY airplay whatsoever. His is just horrid indoctrination and brainwashing for those too gullible to think for themselves. His "logic" can be torn down by any high school debate team. He jumps to a wild conclusion and then bases further wild leaps of "faith" on those. He NEVER quotes a valid scientific source and had NO credentials at all. Rachel Maddow has a PhD. in political science from HARVARD! Listen to her as she tears apart the Republican propaganda machine daily!5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jack Schlotte

For the Health of Students and Staff, All Schools Must be Air ConditionedHaving worked in public education for 22 years in schools that were not air conditioned, I know how unhealthy this can be for students and staff. This is a health hazard that must be rectified. For the most part, there are no other work places that are not climate controlled. It is difficult for students to learn and teachers to instruct under hot and humid conditions...not to mention the health issues for those with allergies or other health conditions.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Linda Lloyd

Education or Take the Money and Run?My petition is about the educational papers that I have that have not made me gainfully employed but the Department of Education would like to get paid for the loans that they issued me. Why should I pay this money back and the schools that I attended did not help me with gaining employment. RMU and Keller are not giving you the correct training but the Department of Education would like to get paid. Well I wanted to get paid back in 2004 when I graduated with a BBA and then in 2009 when I graduated with a MPA. Why is it that I have not been interviewed for a job since 2005 for a position in anything. Maybe the movie that just showed at the movies is right. Devry was not a good school to go to for an education but it still remains that I have to pay the Dept. of Ed.?1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mauldine Powers

Create Safe Space for LGBT Kids in Schools Through Historical, Cultural and Sexual Education.With the amount of media attention being paid toward LGBT youth violence and self harm rising, it's time to let the people decide how to address the issue. LGBT people have no official voice and no identity amongst our formal education system. Instead, the far right has its say by maintaining a gag order against even the mention of anything remotely related to LGBT culture in texts, lectures, etc. This must change in order to gain the validation necessary so that queer youth have a solid foundation toward self, wherein they can contribute to the larger identity of the United States and the world. We already have a place in Global Culture, why not in education?162 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Scott LaForce

Cancel Student Loans for Teachers who teach for 30 years with at least twenty of those years tea...Teachers are required to continue education through out their working years. Teachers who retire after thirty years are however left to pay high student loan payments after retirement, although their retirement benefits are very low. Any teacher who serves children in the public school sector for thirty continouious years, student loans should be canceled.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brenda C. Marsh

Student Loan-ForgivenPresident Obama once said at the beginninjg of his presidency that a person who is faithfully paying a student loan, after 10years the student should be forgiven. A working citizen who is working and struggling to pay off a student loan should get some relief from paying after 10 years. Americans get loans to have a better career and better jobs that offers decent life styles. However, dream is somehow, impossible to have because, besides having to worry for mortgage, rent, bills , there is the worry of having to pay student loan. It seems that the loan amount never decreases but it accrues interest.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Grace Estrada

Change the pronunciation of Republican PartyAs an educator, it is rude that Republicans refuse to accurately & intentionally mispronounce the four syllables in the name Democratic Party. Or to place a plural "S" on the name, Democrats. Let's change how we pronounce THEIR party name to: Repulsicans, or Republic or Repub2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by For His Glory

Save FAU FTL CampusDID YOU KNOW? The FAU Board of Trustees intends to close the Fort Lauderdale campus in order to save a mere 1.9 million. This amount could easily be made up by adding high demand courses to the campus. The FAU administration and Board of Trustees is consolidating academic programs on the Boca campus ultimately removing the presence of the designated lead state university for Broward County. The legislative money allocated to Broward County is being used to support the Palm Beach campuses. Nine hundred undergraduate and graduate students take classes on the downtown campus in professional disciplines including: Architecture Communication (Film, Video, Journalism, Animation, New Media) Graphic Design Urban & Regional Planning The faculty, staff, and students bring a dynamic presence to the downtown area. The Florida Public Archeology Network, Outward Bound, and Small Business Development Center also make their home at the FAU downtown campus.
