The Removal of Judge William A. Price (5th District)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.60 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Christopher Bruce

Elizabeth Warren for Senate LeaderThe 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.48 of 100 SignaturesCreated by JAMAI DEUBERRY

Remove Nature Conservancy Suzanne Case from being the new Chairperson for DLNRWe 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!1,000 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Orion Enocencio

Stop court injustice towards victims of Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Sociopaths (NPS)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.147 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Cecilia A Sparks

Congress: Call an Article V Convention to propose amendments to the U.S. Constitution.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.61 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kyle Petlock

Move New Mexico Out of PovertyWhat’s the matter with New Mexico? While the Governor and the Legislature bicker over a $213 million capital outlay bill and $45 million in road projects, New Mexico’s State Auditor reports that therre is $4.5 BILLION DOLLARS in funds approved in previous years that were never spent. Meanwhile, check out New Mexico’s disgraceful standing as perhaps the worst or near-worst state to live in: What’s the matter with New Mexico? POVERTY New Mexico has the second-worst poverty rate in the nation, with 16.60 percent of families and 21.5 percent of individuals living below the poverty level. Poverty rates for the entire country in 2011 were 11.7 percent for families and 15.9 percent for all individuals. Only Mississippi has worse rates in both categories — 17.40 percent and 22.60 percent, respectively. What’s the matter with New Mexico? CHILDHOOD WELL-BEING New Mexico was 49th in the nation for children's well-being in 2014 — Poverty rates among New Mexico's children, however, actually rose, even as they fell nationwide. In 2013, 28 percent of New Mexico children lived in poverty. In 2014, the rate climbed to 31 percent. What’s the matter with New Mexico? MORE POVERTY All 50 states saw a drop in middle class households since the turn of the millennium. But it's especially bad for the Land of Enchantment. New Mexico's 2013 median income was $43,872, a drop from $47,035 in 2000 when adjusted for inflation. For perspective's sake, Texas' 2013 median income ranked at $51,704; Colorado's was $58,823; Utah's was $59,770 and Arizona's was $48,510. It's also worth noting that each of New Mexico's neighboring states' share of middle class sit between 45 percent and 52 percent of all households—which are all higher that New Mexico. What’s the matter with New Mexico? WORST IN EDUCATION New Mexico came in dead last in a report card that measures education performance across the nation. The annual Quality Counts Report from the Education Research Center gave New Mexico a D+ when it comes to a student's chance for success. The index measures the role of education in a person's life from cradle to career. WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH NEW MEXICO WHEN WE HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS? A New Mexico State Auditor’s report, titled ‘Money on the Sidelines, by the Government Accountability Office shows state agencies have $4.5 billion of unspent public dollars, including: • $2 billion resided in incomplete capital outlay projects and $1 billion in funds for road and water projects primarily in the New Mexico Finance Authority and the Environment Department. • $738 million for water projects in various state agencies’ funds. • $503 million was for restricted special funds ranging from the Job Training Incentive Program (JTIP) to Medicaid fund surpluses. • $42 million for education projects within funds at the Public Education Department and the Public School Facilities Authority. • $30 million in state agencies’ operational general funds. What’s the matter with New Mexico?436 of 500 SignaturesCreated by earl james

Allow permanent absentee votingOur 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.66 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Christopher Dean

The nation thanks the champions of the 2015 California DISCLOSE Act!The entire nation is affected by the flood of anonymous secret money unleashed on elections by Citizens United. One of the most powerful ways we can fight back against this tsunami of Dark Money is by passing strong DISCLOSE Acts to make sure that political ads can't deceive voters about who paid for them. It's up to the states to lead the way. The good news is that the country's largest state, California, now has a chance to do so, with the introduction of the 2015 California DISCLOSE Act that will let voters know who really pays for political ads. AB 700, the Gomez-Levine California DISCLOSE Act, will stop funders from deceiving voters about who pays for ballot measure ads by requiring ads to clearly reveal their top three funders. Funders must be shown in a big contrasting font on a black background for five seconds. The actual contributors must be listed — none of the usual shell games. Just the truth. Please thank California Assemblymembers Jimmy Gomez (D-Northeast Los Angeles) and Marc Levine (D- San Rafael) for their leadership in the fight against Dark Money in political ads. Tell them that people like you across the nation are watching California and grateful for their leadership. Be sure to add a comment to tell them how important what they’re doing is!321 of 400 SignaturesCreated by California Clean Money Campaign
