Because the League is suppressing players speech. Because the League has acted fraudulently in addressing brain injuries. Because this is just another example of corporate welfare.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos wants to turn school teachers and principals into ICE agents. As women, as mothers, we will not stand idly by as DeVos tries to put millions of school children in harm’s way. Sign on to send DeVos a rotten apple to tell her that schools should be learning centers -- not deportation traps. Millions of students throughout the country are already afraid to go to school. Decades of discrimination and criminalization of students of color have created a school to prison pipeline that threatens the security of Black and Brown students. An epidemic of mass shootings has filled our schools with fear. But DeVos wants to make schools even less safe for our kids by encouraging teachers and principals to report undocumented students to ICE. The Supreme Court has made it clear that every child in the United States, regardless of their immigration status, has the right to an education. Make no mistake, DeVos’ proposal is unconstitutional and violates the law. But even worse than that? It endangers the safety of millions of our students at a time when our nation’s highest education officer should be doing everything she can to make schools safer for our kids. Add your name and we will deliver your message along with a rotten apple to DeVos’ office next week.

I have to drive 30 minutes every time I want cook-out

My daughter (now age 7) has been wanting to be able to play soccer with all of her friends, which includes girls AND boys. She doesn't understand why boys and girls, who play together at school and church, can't play soccer together. Frankly, I can't explain it to her, either. She asked me a while ago to start this petition on her behalf.

Our state shrub should reflect our State, not a plant from the other side of the world.

The 5 rules to a good flag are: it should be simple, it should use meaning symbolism, it should use 2-3 basic colours, should not contain and seals or lettering, and it should be distinctive. The Maine flag violates the majority of these rules. It is hard to distinguish it from the majority of state flags, it has a seal and lettering, it uses a plethora of colours, and air is definitely not simple. The old flag is much simpler and will make our flag distinct.

I am the mother of a heroine addict and my grandchildren have been removed by Child Services four times. On the third occasion, I actually went to an attorney in an attempt to gain custody of my grandchildren. I was informed that grandparents in the State of Florida have no rights when it comes to gaining custody. I have just discovered that this fourth time, the Broward County Courts are going to allow reunification again! How long does my grandchildren and other grandchildren like mine have to suffer? There has to be a law put in place to allow grandparents to petition the court for custody after the children have been removed from their parents several times.

I moved to Queens Village in 1974. Initially, the community had many businesses that thrived. There was the Community movie theater, butcher shop, gas station, Woolworth's, Super Discount, and many small businesses like hardware stores and auto parts stores. While many of these small "mom and pop" stores have been replaced by businesses like Riteaid and Duane Reade, a good number of businesses closed up shop, only to be replaced by some businesses that keep inconsistent hours or a provides goods and/or services that are not practical to a significant percentage of the community. Furthermore, many of these businesses are an eyesore—window fronts poorly identified, products strewn haphazardly about, etc.—-particularly along Hempstead Avenue (Jamaica Avenue to the Elmont border). Queens Village residents living in the immediate vicinity of the aforementioned businesses along Hempstead Avenue, would like to see a variety of new practical businesses: a bank, a Staples, stores like Starbucks and Pandora, a supermarket, a FedEx Office, and many more businesses, which can be easily accessed by foot or car. The residents of Queens Village should not have to travel outside of our neighborhood to buy the things we need. By bringing in new businesses, ones that are practical, we can better the community’s quality of life, as well as revitalize the neighborhood and give the residents what they deserve.

When the FCC announced that net neutrality would be repealed, it it was done so in an unethical manner by use of stolen and/or fake identities and corporate meddling. Our representatives however, on the FCC's side citing that "it will create more jobs", in reality it would actually cost us millions of the jobs we created on the internet. Net Neutrality must be preserved.

I have been personally victimized by the lack of a lazy river at Lake Lanier Islands long enough. IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE.

I personally know many of the Special Olympic athletes and they have all been affected by the action of removing Coach Jon from the Polk County Special Olympics team. He gave his time and support while participating as a coach and during his off time, he always made himself available to the athletes. Not many coaches donate this much time and support to the athletes.

Now ending it's second season, the fans of the series have shared numerous posts and with help from creator Eric Kripke have started fighting the network to make sure NBC renews the series for a 3rd season. With the signing of this petition we shall be assured that NBC will see it and know that the fans still care about the tv show and that we are desperate in getting this new season we are fighting for.
