• The City should also move toward Food Justice Certification for all food suppliers and food service contractors. • The City should likewise increase the percentage of Minority- and Women-Owned Enterprises for all food-related contracts. • The Good Food Procurement Policy can be the means by which to satisfy the City’s goals of supporting businesses and social enterprises that produce and distribute healthy food, as put forth in the City’s “Healthy Chicago” program. • Work with the Chicago Food Policy Action Council to establish a technical committee to create the GFPP implementation process, including setting required guidelines to be met by food suppliers and service contractors in the areas of Environmental Sustainability, Valued Workforce, Animal Welfare and Nutrition. • Assign the Chicago Food Policy Action Council the authority to monitor City food contractors for compliance and provide the information needed for the City of Chicago to remove contractors for non-compliance.

I am starting this petition because Hawaiians Introduced the sheep and animals to the island for food. Now the environmentalists just use our tax money to fly a helicopter 2-5 times a month slaughtering these animals and letting them rot in the mountain. we have to think about our future and hunters and gatherers love to use the Aina to put food on the table for their families. Help speak for the animals

This man is continuously re-elected to his office, and his rulings are affecting families in Polk County on a daily basis. He is most unfair, and sides with DHS whether the evidence is Clear and Convincing the other way or not. This is a conspirator of the highest order, and his accounts should be investigated. He lies in his orders to further the agenda to bring in and embezzle federal funding in the amount of 2.4 Billion Dollars, at the behest of the Department of Human Services CPS division. This state needs to be informed and demand an investigation into his lavish lifestyle as the choice of judge for difficult DHS cases. He Controls the Polk County Sheriffs that work there, and drags people back to his courtroom when he wishes, and has people removed when he wishes. This man is a prime example of the corruption that is plaguing Polk County Iowa. If more proof of the illegal actions this man employs against Iowa citizens are needed, you are welcome to contact me, via the avenue of this petition's website.

We need a real, proven, woman leader!

The PEOPLE want Elizabeth Warren to be the next Democratic Minority/Majority Leader in the U.S. Senate. This petition is to encourage the Senate to listen to the people! Senator Warren has again and again shown that she has the pulse of the country's citizens. She is a tireless fighter who is determined to help the middle class. So, we ask the Senate to not be a slave to some misguided blind loyalty to "seniority" system and elevate Sen. Warren to leader.

We the residents of Hawaii depend on the animals that we're given to King Kamehameha so we the people could be self sustainable. Allowing Nature Conservancy Director Suzanne Case to head the Department of Land and Natural Resources will be a total disaster to our race and our culture. With Suzanne Case being the Chairperson of DLNR there will be no animals to harvest because of fences and eradication. People of Hawaii, one day the ships will stop coming and the only thing that we will have to eat is the animals in the forest, fish that swim in the sea, and the produce that that our farmers produce!!! Remove Nature Conservancy Director Suzanne Case NOW before its to late!

I am the third victim of a sociopath who systematically "chose" me to financially and emotionally use me towards his end. I now know that there are very few, if any, advocacy groups to help fight these monsters, but there are tens of thousands of victims. There are no warning signs, so there needs to be protection in the aftermath.

Allow a person of legal voting age to submit an application for addition to the checklist to the presiding officer at the polling place of the town in which the person seeks to register during the hours of voting.

Let's increase voter participation in Hawaii by making voting easier, not harder.

Congress is required, under Article 5 of the U.S. Constitution, to call a convention of delegates from each state, to propose amendments to the U.S. Constitution, once applications for an Article 5 convention have been received from two thirds of the states (now 34 states). To date, over 700 applications for an Article 5 convention have been submitted to Congress, from 49 states. All of these applications are a matter of public record in the Congressional Record. Following a lawsuit, Congress has recently started counting and officially tallying the applications, but the count has been stalled at 14 of the most recent applications. Demand that House Judiciary Committee Chair Rep. Bob Goodlatte, and House Clerk Karen Haas count and publish all 766 applications submitted to date from 49 states; and call an Article V convention as Congress is REQUIRED TO DO BY LAW under the U.S. Constitution as the requirement under Article V, applications from 34 states, has been met many times over.

What’s the matter with New Mexico?

Our founding fathers' greatest fear was that the rich and powerful would corrupt our democracy. Their fears have been realized. One way of restoring our democracy is to make voting easier so the hard-working people of Hawaii have the time and energy to vote. Having your ballot mailed to you means you won't forget to vote, won't miss work, won't have to wait in line, won't waste gas, and can take your time to research the candidates and issues in the comfort and privacy of your own home.
