• We Can't Afford College Anymore
    Pennsylvania State Governor Tom Corbett is cutting 20% to 30% of the budget for the upcoming fiscal year. This includes funding for state schools, driving the price of tuition exponentially higher. As college students, we can barely afford college as it is, even at a state school. Loans are not ideal but we have no other recourse. We can't let this stand. College students need to be able to pay for college. Sign this petition and help us keep ourselves in school.

  • Restore Tax Exempt Status of Graduate and Postdoc Stipends
    This petition aims to have the obama administration restore the once held federal tax exemption for graduate students and extend it to post-doctoral fellows. We need to encourage people to pursue higher education degrees, and adding a financial incentive will ensure the best and brightest obtain PhDs and work in the United States to grow our economy and spur innovation.

  • The right way to govern Pennsylvania
    It is time for people living in the state to realize what poor choices our governor is making for us. We need to mount an attack on his unbelievable distorted vision on education. Don't let him ruin our educational system because he has spent that money elsewhere.

  • Students against FAU decisions
    FAU is cutting our core required classes to graduate and blaming it on the Legislative budget cuts. We have tried communicating with President Saunders, Provost Claiborne, and Dean Carter and they have all dismissed our opinons. It is time to become organized and collaborate to save our futures and be able to graduate.

  • student loan forgiveness
    This petition is about forgiving existing student loans, keeping college within reach without burying the next generation of educated members of our workforce under mountains of debt. A college education should be a right to everyone not only the privilaged and should never be a tool to make a profit off the less fortunate members of society who are attempting to better their lives through education

  • KEEP KIDS SAFE ACT!
    GOAL - 1 MILLION + PEOPLE!! My name is Josh Evans. I live in Springfield, Missouri. I feel that we need to improve the ways schools and families handle their kids. I believe that schools SHOULD NOT let the kids out of the building, unless a parent or legal guardian is there waiting for them. My thought is that if parents or guardians pick up their child, a faculty member stands outside and one by one dispatches a child to exit the building. If every school in the U.S. did that, children and students would be so much safer. I'm just wanting to get this out to government, and have them MAKE A STAND and KEEP OUR KIDS SAFE. That's why I started this page, the KEEP KIDS SAFE ACT, because I want to keep kids safe and away from predators and sex offenders. This page isn't just for elementary school students -- it's for EVERY CHILD WHO IS A STUDENT -- Preschool, elementary school, middle school, & high school. Please "LIKE" this page and let's get the word out.
