Stop putting all WMCQs for Ukraine only in Kyiv!Most players are annoyed with Wizards decisions regarding Ukraine. Especially with the decision to put all WMCQs in the same city for two years in a row. That's unacceptable. I'm going to boycott these games just because it's not fair for our community.63 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alexey Pryazhnikov

Demand that Council Member Mitch O'Farrell Initiate a 245 Motion for 1850 CherokeeI live across the street at 1843 Cherokee and can see the eminent decline of our neighborhood if this project is approved. We will have zero street parking unless this hotel is required to provide parking to its guests in the 24 units it plans to build. We will have noise at all hours of the night with guests coming and going and we will be inundated with transient visitors, opening the door to drug dealing and partying. Urge Mitch O'Farrell to protect our community instead of trying to make a profit from greedy developers, setting a precedent for more affordable apartment buildings to be converted to hotels. Mitch O'Farrell can initiate a 245 that would allow other council members to know what's going on here behind closed doors, and vote to stop it!132 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Elise Barry

Stop criminal prosecution for Medicinal Cannabis: Scott Negron & caregiver David MazurekToo many people including children are suffering & dying while the People of this country have spoken in favor of ending the prohibition of particularly Medical Cannabis. Authorities such as the corrupt, broken system in Georgia are ignoring the clear will of the people, relying on over 75 years of superstitions & harsh, unjust laws while taking money from big-Pharma & Tobacco to deny access, and put people like Negron & Mazurek in prison for simply supplying their own medicine.

School Bus Seat Belts, A Deadly MeasureA quarter century of professional experience and personal observation prove the potential for tragedy from unintended consequences of ill-considered bureaucratic decisions and actions. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration administrator, Mark R. Rosekind, has recently joined activists elevating the call to mandate student safety belts on full-sized school buses. Oprah advocated this measure many years ago on her show. Her logic was that if seat belts were required on cars for passenger safety, it was only common sense that they should be required on school buses for the safety of students, also. To the average person, it would seem obvious that this idea should be a no brainer. It is doubtful that many of those calling for this measure have ridden in a modern school bus, and that even fewer have had the responsibility of driving one. For decades these vehicles have been designed and redesigned to improve the safety of our students. Despite recent high-profile accidents drawing attention to this issue, school buses are the safest vehicles on the road. Their greatest dangers are collisions with trains or semi-trailer trucks and rollovers. Absent such occurrences, injuries are extremely rare, and major injuries and life-threatening conditions are nearly nonexistent. The recent CBS News report addressing this issue stated that there were 4 deaths in 1 year, and a study estimated that safety belts could reduce that to 2 deaths. While even those 2 deaths are 2 too many, failure to consider the unintended consequence of mandating seat belts on full sized school buses could make that statistic far preferable to the alternative. In 25 years driving small and full-sized school buses, I have no personal knowledge of anyone suffering any injury from the lack of safety belts. Though I do fully support the benefits of seat belts on the small buses with fewer passengers or special education students that are at greater risk in any collision, the worst injury a passenger on my bus has suffered in a quarter century was inflicted by a 3 year old on another 3 year old preschooler with a seat belt. That head injury, though superficial, clearly indicated the potentially lethal consequences of placing seat belts in the hands of teenagers with such poor judgment that their driving privileges are wisely restricted with graduated drivers licenses. From first-hand experience, the lack of seat belts would have prevented the worst injury any of my passengers have suffered. But, the potential for tragedies from incidents over the last couple decades clearly demonstrates the need to take unintended consequences seriously. Both personally and professionally I use a seat belt whenever I get into a vehicle. Professionally, drivers are always required to wear a seat belt, not for their safety, but to keep them close to the steering and braking controls. 25 years experience indicates that if manufacturers are required to equip full size school buses with seat belts, that added expense will influence them to install the minimum standard to save on costs. Those seat belts frequently contain plastic components that are subject to sticking, jamming, and breaking, which makes them difficult to fasten and more importantly difficult or nearly impossible for young students to release. Every year, emergency evacuation drills are required for students to know those procedures in case of an emergency. With a capacity of around 70 students, it is critically important that those procedures can be executed as smoothly and quickly as possible in order to save lives and avoid injuries. The Cary Grove High School bus hit by a commuter train in Fox River Grove, Illinois on October 25, 1995, tragically demonstrates an incident where the ability to evacuate quickly might have reduced the 7 deaths. On August 23, 2011, a Southeast Polk School District bus in Iowa burst into flames on the first day of school. But, 16 students were safely evacuated, despite a sticking rear exit door, demonstrating how lives can be saved and injuries avoided with a smooth and rapid evacuation. Anyone who has stopped behind a loaded full sized school bus unloading knows that is not necessarily a very quick process with the narrow aisle requiring single file movement. Anything that could slow this process or create panic in an emergency would become a matter of life and death. Having had to go back and release students from seat belts that they were unable to release, I can guarantee that it is not a matter of if, but only when, dozens of lives will be lost by the addition of student safety belts to full sized school buses in order to potentially save the 2 lives that the study estimated those belts could save. If this measure is implemented, those lost lives are on those that insisted it be mandated, despite being made clearly aware of the lethal danger of the unintended consequences. If the bureaucrats insist on risking the lives of every school bus passenger in the country, at the very least, they need to require the highest aircraft quality easy fastening positive engagement lift latch release buckles available, such as those manufactured for luxury automobiles by Hickok decades ago. Of the three most dangerous occurrences only the rollover, which could be expected to cause bruises and broken bones but rarely life threatening injuries, could be measurably helped by the use of seat belts. But, the rarity of that occurrence compared to the tragic loss of life caused by delayed evacuation from the use of seat belts in a collision with a train or semi trailer truck fire negates the benefits of using seat belts to prevent less serious injuries. Even the suggestion of regulations to require student seat belts on full sized buses is already beginning to endanger students, because school districts are ordering buses with seat belts in order to meet potential future rules. It is the mandate of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to im...16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Kenneth Young

Gov. Haslam and the Tennessee Legislature - Oppose Guns on CampusThe overwhelming majority of the 4,400 colleges and universities in the United States prohibit the carrying of firearms on their campuses. These gun-free policies have helped to make our post-secondary education institutions some of the safest places in the country. Tennessee is a state that specifically prohibits people from carrying concealed guns on public college campuses. This legislation will force Tennessee’s public colleges and universities to allow the carrying of loaded, concealed handguns on public college and university campuses. We believe that Tennessee’s college and university administrators and campus security experts are best equipped to evaluate and make policy decisions that affect their campus communities, not opportunistically motivated lawmakers. Please sign this petition that says No to guns on campus in Tennessee and be sure to share it with a friend, too. We will make sure to deliver all petition signatures to Governor Haslam and the Legislature. Thank you.549 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Andy Pelosi

NoMileyontheVoiceMy family, like so many others have continuously and faithfully watched The Voice. The change in coaches to Miley Cyrus is offensive to the family values this show has built its ratings on. We encourage NBC and The powers of The Voice to change their minds on Miley becoming a new judge next season. We will not watch the New season if she is a judge.95 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Shawnda Burk

Mrs. Hillary Clinton is far from that. Reconsider your choice of endorsing Clinton for President of the United States and endorse Senator Bernie Sanders. Rolling Stone needs to rethink it's position and work to restore our faith in the integrity and courage that it's heritage espouse.36 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dan Brush

Maine superdelegates: represent your constituents!While the people of Maine have overwhelmingly presented their support for presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, those elected in the past and present to represent the people are failing to echo the voice of their constituents. We the people of Maine are frustrated with yet another demonstration of a broken system. We ask that the superdelegates of Maine represent the people of Maine. We currently have only one superdelegate who has pledged to support Bernie Sanders and we would like to thank Troy Jackson for doing so.116 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Richard Profenno
