Hawai'i: Mandate Prop GuardsSwimmers were killed by boat propellers in Lanikai (2016); Lana'i (2011); and Maui just to name a few recent deaths by props. Additionally a Kaua'i paddler was so badly injured we thought he would die and on Sept 17th a paddler was critically injured again.

Family Protection ActAll children need and deserve two loving parents in their lives, even if the parents are no longer living together. The starting point of a child custody proceeding should be equal protection for each parental relationship. The Family Protection Act will create a presumption at the beginning of an action that equal time with each parent is in the children's best interest. Cooperative parents can make their own agreements, and the presumption can be overcome if there is evidence that equal time is not best for the children, but equality is where we should start.426 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Steve Blake

We must demand that Trump release his taxes!One way or the other, Trump MUST release his tax returns before the November election--so the American people can see what shows up that might impact his decisions if he is elected President. Although Obama has the authority to release Trump's tax returns, It is unlikely that he will do so. Our only hope is to raise a hue and cry and CALL OUR SENATORS NOW to demand that they pass S.2979, the Presidential Tax Transparency Act, to force Trump to release them. Sources: Paul Ryan says Trump should release his tax returns http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/trailguide/la-na-trailguide-updates-1473965120-htmlstory.html All the excuses Trump has given for why he will not release his tax returns https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/business/wp/2016/09/15/a-running-tally-of-trumps-many-excuses-for-why-he-wont-release-his-tax-returns/ Yes He Can: Obama Absolutely Has The Authority to Release Donald Trump’s Tax Returns http://reverbpress.com/politics/obama-order-trump-tax-returns-released/ YouTube: Elizabeth Warren on Trump Taxes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSGxnxqAO5w116 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Kindra Muntz

Endorse Ray Metcalfe for US SenateTwo maxims define Ray’s moral compass. West Point's Code of Honor: "I will not lie, cheat, steal, nor will I tolerate those who do." The "Golden Rule" "Do to others what you want them to do to you." Ray Metcalfe was a Delegate for Bernie at the Alaska State Convention and is now a candidate for the US Senate seat now filled by Republican Lisa Murkowski. Whom is the GOP Chair of the Senates Energy and Natural Resources Committee. Ray Metcalfe is a former member of the Alaska Legislature, and was the Whistle Blower who got Former US Senator Ted Stevens, along with Alaska's Governor's Chief of staff, six State Legislators and four Lobbyists indicted and helped the US Attorney's office convict ten of them. Ray is well known state wide for repeatedly exposing the kinds of corruption Bernie is talking about when he says the system is rigged. The last US Senate election was won with 135,000 votes. Ray was able to win the primary by 20 points without a single ad – relying on name recognition from his anti corruption work. We believe that for $1 a vote we could make a compelling grassroots campaign for the US Senate this November. There is an independent in the race with GOP ties that is likely to split the republican vote. While Ray has nearly three times the support in the latest polls. In Ray’s tenure as a State Lawmaker he authored the original Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) Investment Plan (the annual check Alaskans get from resource royalties.) A roll that should allow him to find a special place in every Alaskan’s heart. If Elected to US Senate Ray will fight tooth and nail to restrict the flow of money into politics here is an excerpt of the solution for legislation We support legislation that requires elected officials to declare a conflict of interest and recuse themselves from voting on legislation appropriating cash, resources, or competitive advantages, to themselves, their family, their employers, their business partners, or their contributors. Ray Began pressing for the above proposed legislation when the US Supreme Court ruled on a Nevada conflict of interest statute, clarifying that recusal can be required by state and/or federal statute under the circumstances defined in the above 38 words. Support for Policy: End Pay to Play Politics. End Corporate Welfare. Tuition & Debt Free College Education. Expand Social Security by lifting cap. Healthcare as a Right! (Single Payer). Protect Reproductive Rights, Civil Rights, Privacy Rights, Workers Rights. End Energy Poverty in Alaska. Modernizer Infrastructure: Transportation & Communications. Adequate funding for Arts, Science & NASA. Ending the War on Drugs. No for Profit Prisons. Revise and Simplify the Tax Code. Keep Promises to Vets. Fair trade as opposed to free trade. Retraining for displaced workers. Science Based Decisions. Act on Global Warming. Gun Rights with Responsible Safeguards. A judicial system that values getting it right over convictions at any cost.54 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Karabelnikoff

If Hillary Drops Out- Bring Bernie BackWe all know Hillary's health is questionable. Is she fit to campaign? The possibility exists that Clinton could drop out, being unable to continue. If this were to occur, join us in telling the DNC the only right choice would be to make Bernie Sanders the nominee.407 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Charles I Niswander II

Make Bernie the NomineeThis is a very critical moment for us all, as well as a grand opportunity. Many of those who have nominated Clinton now must realize their fatal error and anxiously seek a way to overcome it. The only viable option is to replace Hillary with Bernie, and do it asap. The struggle continues, and victory is certain, if we act quickly and massively.101 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Werner Lange

Legalize backyard chickens in the city of Wentzville, MOMany cities across the country and our own state have changed local laws and ordinances to allow for the raising of a small flock of hens. It is time for Wentzville, MO to join this movement. With proper education and a little research it is very easy to raise chickens in an urban setting without fear of noise, smell or disease. At the same time you can provide your family with a very healthy choice in home grown eggs. This will relieve the pressure on factory farming, while giving residents the right to provide a much more humane, and safe environment for backyard chickens.Out of the 90 municipalities in St. Louis County alone 81 of them allow backyard chickens. Let's join cities like Lake St. Louis, Chesterfeild, Kirkwood, Ballwin and many more to put food production into the hands of city resident457 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Amy L Kulik-Jenkins

Auxiliary Gas Tank for Toyota TacomaNOTE: This is for a SECONDARY TANK, not a replacement for the stock tank! Auxilliary (secondary) fuel tanks for the Toyota Tacoma do not exist as a commercial product. Due to the well-established popularity of this vehicle, and the rapidly increasing popularity of "Overland" style off-road vehicle modifications, I believe there is a viable market for this product. The intent of this petition is to establish proof of confidence to manufacturers, so that they are willing to invest in the R&D to produce such an item, knowing that there is a market for it.63 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kevin Keyes

Stop abusing Betta FishIn many stores, Betta fish are sold in the least amount of water that the pet stores can get away with giving them. They are shipped in three inch bags with just enough water to cover them. This stresses the fish and makes them prone to diseases such as gill rot, fin rot, mouth rot and many other deadly, irreversible diseases. Yes, Betta splendens and other Betta species can live in small amounts of water, but it shortens their lives dramatically. They live in open rice patties, or streams that stretch out for miles in the wild. In many stores that I, and thousands of Americans have seen, Betta fish are kept in tiny containers that contain just enough water to cover them, the containers are often filthy, and the fish are sick and have many diseases that include, but are not limited to: Ich, Gill rot (fungal or stress related), Fin rot (fungal or stress), Mouth rot (fungal or malnourishment), Swim bladder, and many others. Thousands of fish are sent to big corporation companies such as Walmart, Petco, Petsmart, Pet Supplies Plus, and many others, and most Bettas that can be seen have ripped fins, the diseases listed above, or are stressed in general, which shortens the life span from two to six years all the way down to six months to a year. These sick bettas are also priced high, which would be understandable for the rarer, more showy breeds; if it weren't for the fact that they are destined to die shortly after purchase. I recently bought four betta fish from various sources, of which one actually knew what they were doing. Two of the Betta fish were kept in a container that was three inches high and two inches in diameter. Both fish are at least two inches long, and developed a spine curvature, so all they can do is swim in circles, which is detrimental to the health of any species of fish in the world. One fish, bought at walmart was in half an inch of water, just like the rest of them. he was the only healthy one there. There ware sixty-seven Betta fish on display. The last fish was sold to me from a ten-gallon tank. This fish was super happy, had been living for a year and a half, and was disease free. Hundreds of betta fish are doomed to die on a daily basis at pet stores because of the mistreatment they receive. Many people like buying these easy to care for pets, but get disappointed when they must spend anywhere from $4 to $20 on a new Betta every six months or so. This is a serious issue. I DO NOT REPRESENT ANY SPECIAL ANIMAL RIGHTS GROUP, BUT I REPRESENT ALL PET OWNERS AND BETTA FISH ENTHUSIASTS.76 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nathan Decock
