Arcada Theatre: Please cancel the Ted Nugent shows at your venueThis is the 21st century and hateful racist rhetoric has no place in a civilized society. I believe in the freedom of speech but the purpose of entertainment is to entertain and not to inflame and condone violence with your rhetoric.64 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Philip Pilger

Media: Do not prematurely declare a Democratic nominee on June 7.It is now virtually impossible for either Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders to officially win the Democratic nomination before the Democratic convention. In order for either candidate to reach the required number of delegates to claim the nomination, they will need superdelegates -- a group of delegates that will not be officially awarded to either candidate until the Democratic National Convention is held at the end of July. That means a contested convention -- and a vigorous debate over the values and priorities of the Democratic Party -- is now assured. But despite that fact, on June 7 mainstream media outlets are planning to declare Hillary Clinton the winner. How? By combining the delegates she wins from that day's primaries with an unofficial tally of superdelegates who have informally committed to Hillary Clinton based on unofficial polls and declarations of support. This is a profoundly misleading and anti-Democratic move by mainstream media outlets, and it could affect the real-time results of the California Democratic primary election taking place on June 7 -- a primary that could have a dramatic effect on the Democratic nomination. If Hillary Clinton is falsely declared the winner at 8pm Eastern time -- as media outlets are planning to do -- voter turnout in California could be significantly depressed, which could dramatically alter the outcome in a race that now appears to be a dead heat. Tell the mainstream media to resist the temptation to feed the news cycle with superficial and misleading horse-race journalism and let democracy take its course. Sign the petition and tell national media outlets: Do not falsely declare a Democratic nominee on June 7.467 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Paul Payne

Blu-Birds v. Pure Traverse CityThese military demonstration teams draw tens of thousands of visitors to an already overcrowded city during the annual Cherry Festival. The planes emit tons of CO2, violate the city noise ordinance, disturb the young, old and those with PTSD and they cost taxpayers over $100 million per year. Further, the crowds overextend our first responders and overtax our limited infrastructure. Stand with me in asking the city commission to restore a measure of purity to our town.520 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Tim Keenan

TELL CARRINGTON CAPITAL: DON'T STEAL CARMEN'S HOME!Wall Street has no morals or limits in their quest for money and power. In fact, one of the original Wall Street hedge fund managers, Bruce Rose, CEO of Carrington Capital/Carrington Mortgage Services, has a hard working family of five in his sights – he wants their home and will stop at nothing to get it. Carmen Garcon is a registered nurse, a member of the Health Professionals & Allied Employees union (HPAE), and a devoted wife and mother of adult children, who live with her at her home in Linden. The Garcon’s purchased their home in June of 2005. Carmen and her husband were not first time homeowners; they previously had a positive experience with home ownership in Hillside. The home in Linden was meant to be a step up towards achieving the American Dream: a place where Carmen and her family could settle and call home for generations to come. However, the current servicer, Carrington Mortgage Services, LTD has turned the Garcon's dream into a living nightmare. Carmen and her husband bought the house for $300,000 and paid a down payment of $60,000. In late 2015, the Garcons successfully applied for a loan modification to ease the monthly cost of owning their home while supporting their young adult children, one who is a college student and the other who is looking for work in a competitive economy. The modification agreement clearly states a monthly sum of $2727.31, which the Garcons have paid faithfully. Carrington, however, continues to claim that the Garcons owe $3,485.00 each month, a crippling cost for any working class family. This attack on the Garcon family is not new to Carrington Mortgage Services. In fact, the company’s CEO and founder, Bruce Rose, has made a fortune from stealing the homes of hard working families all over the country. He has been featured in headlines across the country for his role in profiting from the foreclosure crisis he helped create! And Carmen Garcon and her family are his next target. But together, we can fight Bruce Rose and Carrington Capital. Sign this petition and support Carmen Garcon’s fight to save her home and join the members of NJ Communities United, HPAE and NJ Hedge Clippers!

Draft Bernie as Hillary's Vice President!This petition is to raise awareness to the DNC and Clinton campaign to draft Bernie Sanders as Hillary's Vice Presidential running candidate. The party needs to 'feel the Bern' and unite party centrists as well as more progressive elements. Consider, Hillary and Bernie do represent the entire spectrum of the DNC. We believe this is a responsible decision, and will be greatly disappointed with both the DNC and the Clinton campaign if this obvious choice to beat Trump is not adopted.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rome Viharo

Donald Trump Release Your Tax ReturnDonald Trump should release his tax returns because it is the right thing to do. If he has nothing to hide then release. The American people need transparency and Donald Trump is not above the law and American values. Sen. John McCain released two years when he ran for office in 2008, but his wife Cindy, who files separately, released partial returns. President Barack Obama has released 12 years of tax returns. There is a bill being proposed. The bill, called the Presidential Tax Transparency Act, would require a presidential candidate to release the most recent three years of tax returns to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) within 15 days of becoming the nominee at the party convention. If the candidate refuses to comply, the Treasury Secretary would provide the tax returns directly to the FEC for public release.39 of 100 SignaturesCreated by TRIANA ARNOLD-JAMES
