• NFL Boycott until Colin Kapernick is signed
    Colin Kapernick exercised his right to silent protest against the National Anthem and donated $1 million dollars to social justice related organizations as a result. It has been said that he has been "blackballed" by all NFL teams due to his decision to advocate for people of color, and social justice. As citizens of this world, who support leaders who rise above their privilege and position to advocate for causes greater than themselves and who use their platform to create greater awareness, will always end up on the right side of history. Please join in with us to share that we will vote with our dollars until this is addressed.

  • Safety on Highway M in Barnhart
    UPDATE: This Petition was started a few years ago after a fatal accident on Highway M in Barnhart, Missouri. That particular accident involved a mother of a student killed after dropping her son off for the day. At that time, the petition was setup, news channels were contacted and many communications were had over the following months with MoDot official, Judy Wagner. The request was submitted to Install traffic lights at Hwy M /St Lukes Church Rd and Hwy M / Moss Hollow Road AND DENIED AT THE TIME WITH MANY REASONS WHY THEY WOULD NOT DO THIS, the main reason given was that the install of traffic lights would cost too much at around $1 million. NOW THE J-TURN project is estimated to cost $1 million. Also stated that stop lights do not work. ROCKPORT School has a stoplight in front of their school as do many other emergency houses in the area that just have flashing lights during the day and become operational during PRIME HOURS needed such as morning and evening rush hours for school and those leaving for and coming home from work. The emergency houses would also have access to have the lights operate when they are in need to leave for emergencies. There are First Responder Houses (Antonia Fire Protection District and Rock Township Ambulance District House 4) as well as Antonia Middle School at those intersections. This results in a large number of school buses and families with children being forced to pull out onto Hwy M, crossing multiple lanes of traffic. These intersections absent of traffic lights with the factor of high speeds by drivers has proven to be hazardous AND CONTINUES TO BE HAZARDOUS TWO YEARS LATER WITH NO CHANGES BY LEGISLATURE AND MODOT. The amount of accidents due to high-speed and excessive traffic on Hwy M is becoming more frequent at both of these intersections, resulting in fatalities and injuries. First Responders were involved while attempting to respond to a call, resulting in injuries and delay for those needing the fire department. There are a number of families in both of these areas that send their children on school buses that are given no other option than to merge across a four-lane highway to transport the children to and from school. At Moss Hollow and Highway M, the traffic coming and going has increased now that the new Estates at Moss Hollow is complete and close to 100 new families moved into the area. (ADDING MINIMUM 100 NEW DRIVERS DAILY). There are MANY kids approaching the driving age so new drivers will be embarking on those intersections as well. Let's take safety into consideration and push Jefferson County to install traffic lights and NOT the proposed J turns AT BOTH INTERSECTIONS for the residents of Barnhart AND SLOW DOWN THE SPEED LIMIT IN A SCHOOL ZONE. As of June 2019 I was informed by Judy Wagner that the proposed construction review was being added to the “ Statewide Transportation Improvement Plan for review.” She informed me that in December 2019 they had met with families in Williamsburg to address this issue and I wa stood other affected subdivisions, including Fountains would be contacted in Spring 2020 to have community forum... I can only assume due to COVID that didn’t happen. CONSIDERATION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN FOR ADDITIONAL RESIDENTS AT MOSS HOLLOW AND THE CONTINUED POSSIBILITY OF GROWTH ON THE ANTONIA CAMPUS, FUTURE ADDITION OF NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, INCREASING TRAFFIC ON ST LUKES CHURCH ROAD SIGNIFICANTLY SO THIS WARRANTS MAKING CHANGES TO INTERSECTIONS AND LOWERING SPEEDS ALONG HIGHWAY M FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE AND OUR CHILDREN. J turns will greatly affect emergency crews, residents and school bus transportation. THIS PETITION WILL ONCE AGAIN BE SHARED WHEN SIGNED AFTER A FEW WEEKS IN HOPES OF EXPRESSING CONCERN AS A COMMUNITY AND GETTING SOMETHING DONE SOONER THAN TWO YEARS FROM NOW. I HAVE UPDATED TO INCLUDE NEW MODOT AND COMMITTEE CONTACTS.

  • Remove the Globe and the National Enquirer from Walmart Stores in the U.S.
    Seeing fake news titles and descriptions at the grocery checkout reinforces what the more gullible may already think and reinforces their brainwashing. These “magazines” are nothing more than Brietbart or Fox News or worse at the checkout. When I get to the checkout stand I do not want to be angered by these vile rags. Does my grocer want an angry customer at the checkout or a happy customer. These lies need to go.

  • Stop transgender women and children from being further victimized
    I am a transgender woman who has faced workplace discrimination on many occasions over issues regarding the bathroom. I have been targeted for violence because I am transgender and I have been harassed and even raped throughout the course of my life. 100% of the rhetoric, bigotry, and ostrication toward transgender people , comes from "personal" belief rather than evidence, and only justifiable by"religious reasoning" this is why the hateful rhetoric toward the transgender bathroom issue was started in Houston, by five VERY RELIGIOUS pastors... long before north carolina. People have a right to believe whatever they want to believe. It's their civil and human right, as long as they obey the secular law of the land. However they do not have the right to take away the civil and human rights of others because of their belief. The responsibility of the government is to protect its citizens from real threats that there is evidence for not imagined ones that there is absolutely zero evidence for. And separation of church and state is tantamount which is why it's the very first amendment.

  • End Daylight Savings in Utah
    I suffer from seasonal affective mood disorder. Along with 25 percent off the state who suffer from mood disorders of some type, I am very susceptible to daylight exposure and changes. I have a very difficult time adjusting my schedule. This is especially true before spring equinox, when switching to daylight time, which forces me to arise before the sun. Utah is farther west in the Mountain time zone, which means we have to wait longer for the sun to reach us. We also have to wait longer in the long summer days for darkness to allow for natural sleep to begin.

  • Secretary Tillerson: Allow Press Access
    It is essential for Americans to know and understand what is happening with their government. Without regular press access it is impossible for citizens to be informed and responsive, and prevent an authoritarian take over of our government.

  • Immediate Clinic: Stop Supporting Breitbart's Hate
    A social media campaign called "Sleeping Giants" led more than 1,000 companies to stop advertising on the white nationalist website Breitbart.com. Virtually every major corporation worldwide has blocked their ads from appearing on Breitbart. Breitbart is the white nationalist website formerly run by Trump adviser Steve Bannon. It's racist, sexist, and spreads hate against Muslims. Breitbart regularly has headlines like "Birth control makes women unattractive and crazy" and "The Confederate flag proclaims a glorious heritage." It is way outside of the American mainstream, even in these polarizing times. It's well past time for Immediate Clinic to stop supporting hate. Immediate Clinic should remove their ads from Breitbart.com and adopt a policy to ban advertising on any website that promotes hate.
