Pandora! Fair payouts for musicians now!Spotify, Pandora's main competitor, pays out six times that amount - yet their payouts are also pitifully inadequate. Music streaming services assume that the competition for online music is priced at “free,” and their value added is in curation. No, the competition for streaming is “stolen” music. Streaming services are using stolen music as the comparative justification for pitiful compensation. In this environment, artists are forced to crowd-fund their creative work, making friends and fans of the artist subsidize the creation of content from which these services profit. It’s corrupt, unethical, exploitative, and unfair.44 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jon Burr

Spirit Week: TogasThe senior class should be able to wear tank tops under their togas rather than t-shirts during spirit week. As stated in the handbook, "clothing with spaghetti straps, or which is strapless, backless, low-cut, see-through, or which reveals the midriff or undergarments should not be worn in school." Wearing a one-inch tank top does not break the dress code, so wearing it during Spirit Week should not change these rules.217 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Katherine Hargrave

Stop the A. GRU Name Change: Students and Augustan Residents Against a Name ChangeReasons why you should care about GRU’s name change: 1) Students, the ones funding and getting a degree from the institution, had no say in the matter 2) The purpose behind GRU’s name was to signify the state’s only public professional health schools, and their mission is to serve the state as a whole, hence the multiple rural campuses. Neither this mission nor the composition of students in its programs are primarily tied to Augusta, including GRHealth clinics that reside outside of the city. 3) Dr. Azziz MD, the president who changed the name to GRU, was replaced by Dr. Keel PhD this July, who intended to change the name back to his alma mater Augusta College, an obvious conflict of interest regardless of publicized intentions. 4) The governor won’t comment on the decision, saying it was made by the board of regents 5) Removing the state’s name further removes national recognition, starts rapport over, and shows our institution lacks any firm foundation. 6) Recommending professors will now be Augusta University faculty which again holds no current respect. 7) Changing the signs alone previously cost $3.8m. Further spending for name changes reflects how incapable the institution is at budgeting its allocated funds. Will donors continue to donate when they see that their money keeps going towards changing their alma mater? Think about the cost to change signs, uniforms/scrubs, GRU hospital name changing and anything in them labeled GRU, school merchandise, and cyberspace including emails and lecture videos 8) There’s already movement among the Augusta community to change the name again in the future, to revert it to the original Augusta State University. 9) Apathetic MCG students should note that colleges are supposed to revel in their University, not turn the other cheek. Think about how our GRU nursing, dental, and PhD colleagues are affected. 10) We currently park behind a gas station.391 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Jacob Kumro

Allow Y-S Classes to Elect Their Homecoming MaidsMy child attends Yellville-Summit High School, and I recently became aware that homecoming maids are elected solely by the sports teams (football team for football homecoming and both the female and male basketball teams for basketball homecoming). This is discriminatory and inequitable. Please sign this petition if you are a parent, student or community member and would like the School Board to adopt an official policy that allows for every student in a class to choose their homecoming maids.73 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Emily

Stop the proposed mega development on Oleander DriveI am a resident of Oleander Drive and believe that a development on this scale does not fit on Oleander Drive. I am concerned about the impact of construction, added traffic congestion, environmental effects on wildlife and the Yellow River and overcrowding at our schools. Please don't let the greed of developers destroy a beautiful street. Visit www.save-oleander.com for plans and updates on meetings to voice your opinion on the development.1,368 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Ryter Shay Cannon

Bernie Sanders as Gay Pride Grand Marshal for his Record of Support since 1972 Representing LGBTQ...I would like to see Bernie Sanders - regardless of his candidacy for the president of the United States in 2016 - be recognized for his service in legislative and executive actions in his capacity as representative of the People. Bernie Sanders' record for standing for the equality and rights of the LGBTQ community is unshakable and he needs to be recognized for who he is. From a time when being so aligned could have cost him his whole career, he stood with us unmoved from the task, without needing to look to polling results to know how to react or on which side of history to stand.82 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Deven Holloway
