  • Opening bars and resturants before June in Illinois
    For me and many of these businesses, this is our livelihood. We have absolutely NO money coming in but still have to pay our state and federal taxes along with utilities, insurance, etc. Please reconsider this.

  • $2000 a month Basic Income for American Taxpayers
    The American economy has taking a huge hit with unemployment skyrocketing over March and April 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic and the numbers will continue to rise. We are witnessing a domino effect of massive job loss. Businesses close, then the taxpayers have no income to report to the IRS and no taxes to be paid. Of course no income means a steep decline in the agriculture industry, food processing, banking, and mortgage industries just to name a few. Our tax dollars are what makes this economy rise or fall. It is the government's spending of this money which determines what programs are funded or not, and what is considered valuable. Well, now it is time for our government to show its appreciation to loyal American taxpayers by helping us through one of the most financial difficulties in current times. Way too often, large companies such as banks receive MILLIONS OF TAXPAYER MONEY so they will not collapse even though CEO's receive million dollar bonuses and the company makes millions in profits. The government is EAGER to provide them with tax breaks and trillion dollar relief funds at American taxpayer expense. Millions of American taxpayers are working making under $30,000 a year, many more are working 2 jobs, such as teachers, just to somewhat survive. The cost of rent, utilities, food, gas, etc., continues to grow except incomes. A basic income of $2000 a month for American taxpayers age 18 and older and $500 a month for children would give a great start in boosting the economy. Once this financial difficulty has lifted, the economy won't take as long to recover.

  • Test ALL Ohio Prison Inmates and Essential Staff
    This is important to curve the amount of staff and inmates from contracting the virus. This is important to save lives. The inmates live in close quarters and congregate within close proximity therefore it would be almost impossible to socially distance while incarcerated.

  • Rescind the AG GAG Laws
    Haven’t we learned anything from our current pandemic? Factory farms and processors need to be held accountable. The cruelty animals suffer and the horrifying conditions they live in must stop.

  • Protect South Boulder Creek's Floodplain and Preserve Open Space: Support a Land Exchange
    The University of Colorado (“CU”) wants to build a massive new campus on land that is in and near the South Boulder Creek Floodplain. The new campus could include housing for several thousand students, staff, and faculty; 8 academic buildings; permanent sports facilities; and parking lots. Development at CU South will destroy habitat for endangered species and many other plants and animals that live there now. It would eliminate a hugely popular recreation spot, and put people in harm’s way in the event of another catastrophic flood. CU cannot build unless and until the City annexes the land. We believe that a land swap would be much better than building in the floodplain and ask Council to take the following actions: 1. Prior to decisions about annexation, Council should expedite a planning process and urban services study to evaluate city-owned land in North Boulder suitable for development that could be exchanged for the “CU South” land. The urban services study is the first step towards a land exchange. 2. The Planning Reserve land at Jay Road and 28th St. is the best option and has already been identified as "potentially suitable for new urban development.” 3. Commit to preserving and restoring the wetlands and grasslands in the South Boulder Creek Floodplain for flood mitigation, environmental values, and recreation. CU SHOULD DEVELOP ELSEWHERE 1. Since the 1970s, the popular recreation area now known as “CU South,” has been targeted for official designation as Open Space. The land is bordered by Open Space and a State Natural Area, and is considered the missing piece in Boulder’s Open Space greenway. It's also a key part of the South Boulder Creek Floodplain. 2. CU could build on higher, drier land appropriate for development, not a floodplain containing endangered species as well as rare and irreplaceable habitat. 3. CU's demands for annexation and development at "CU South" would cost the City tens of millions of dollars initially and create long-term financial risks and liabilities for the City. NOW IS THE TIME FOR A LAND EXCHANGE 1. The University of Colorado has stated its willingness to consider a land swap for the Boulder Planning Reserve land. 2. A land exchange would protect wetlands and open space in and adjacent to the South Boulder Creek Floodplain, be consistent with intelligent land use planning and science, and meet CU's need for housing plus 30 acres of playing fields. These are substantial advantages to a “CU North” campus. City Council should ACT NOW on this opportunity for a win-win solution.

  • No more risks!
    It is important because our love ones can get the disease, as we can too. All employees were exposed to this person who came out positive to Covid-19. Employees don't want to bring this disease to our loved ones. Some of these employees have new born or even month old babies and children, who are a high risk group.

  • Sen. Gardner, Support The CORE Act!
    April 30th marks 6 MONTHS since the Colorado Outdoor Recreation and Economy (CORE) Act passed in the U.S. House of Representatives. The CORE Act is the most significant and broadly-supported effort to protect Colorado’s cherished lands, waters, and forests in a generation. This crucial legislation, sponsored by Senator Michael Bennet and Congressman Joe Neguse, would protect wilderness areas, clean water supplies, and wildlife migration corridors and habitat, while also creating sustainable recreation opportunities. Despite all the good it would do for Colorado, Senator Cory Gardner has yet to express his support for this crucial legislation. For decades, local communities have been supporting pieces of legislation and calling for protection of historic sites, recreation areas, unspoiled wilderness lands, and waterways and wildlife habitats through individual pieces of legislation. Senator Bennet and Congressman Neguse's work on this legislation recognizes the growing support for a comprehensive effort to permanently protect these places for future generations. The CORE Act would provide important protections for key watersheds, helping to safeguard pristine drinking water supplies for local communities, from the western slope to the front range. It would also safeguard headwaters, local streams, and gold medal trout fisheries like Blue River, Gore Creek, and the Animas River, which are enjoyed by anglers near and far. Further, the bill would preserve healthy wildlife habitat by protecting key areas from road building, new mines and oil and gas drilling, and other activities that would degrade wildlife habitat and watershed values. It would continue to safeguard backcountry hunting opportunities and important big game habitat on our public lands across the state, in addition to protecting habitat for black bear, bighorn sheep, mountain goat, sage grouse, moose, lynx, wild turkey, and the rare wolverine. We should all get behind these goals. Millions of people visit Colorado’s iconic public lands and landmarks each year to recreate and this bill would preserve access to those places for future generations to enjoy. Now is the time for all of Colorado’s elected officials to join veterans, sportsmen, community leaders, conservationists, business owners, county officials, and voters from across the state, in protecting public lands for the future. Sign this petition and demand that Senator Gardner defends our economy, our quality of life, and our health by supporting the CORE Act.

  • Thank You, Governor Bullock
    In view of recent protests, including at our Capitol, we the undersigned hereby support our Governor, Steve Bullock, in his courageous stand to uphold Shelter In Place. The economy will recover, but lives lost are gone forever. Protecting our families is of utmost importance. Meanwhile, please continue to seek out ways to help those hit the hardest financially. Please do not consider relaxing environmental protections. Without clean air, water and land, life will be considerably worse for Montanans who depend upon tourism, Montana's best resource.
