• Gov. Christie: Veto the water privatization bill!
    For the last century, New Jersey law has required sales of public water systems to go before the voters. The idea is that politicians shouldn’t just be able to sell off what generations of New Jerseyans built together, and that the public should have the right to review any sale of a resources as fundamental as water. But the New Jersey Legislature just passed a bill that cuts voters out of the picture. Instead of making the case for these sales to the voters, multinational water companies want to work exclusively with the elected officials whose campaigns they help bankroll. Selling off water systems might provide a one-time infusion of cash to towns and cities, but it's the ratepayers who end up paying the cost. Water companies can make sky-high bids with the full knowledge that they can raise rates to cover the cost of the purchase. This is a blatant attack on democracy and local control, and a veto is our last chance to stop it.

  • We support Rabbi Kane
    Rabbi Kane has given 22 years of devoted and effective service as the leader of CSI, and the thought that any of the very real long-term financial and membership issues facing the congregation (and which, as you know, face the Conservative movement generally) would be ameliorated by firing our Rabbi is ludicrous. He has enriched our lives in many different ways- through his teaching, his spiritual guidance, his encouragement of meaningful engagement with Jewish life, the outstanding educational programming he has brought to the shul, his leadership in Westchester on behalf of Israel advocacy, and the innumerable large and small acts of kindness he has performed on behalf of so many members of the community and our families. We strongly believe that separating Rabbi Kane from CSI would be devastating to the community, and it would also irrevocably change our relationship with CSI as well.

  • KEEP THE PAWSOX AT MC COY STADIUM
    Rhode Island wants and needs the PawSox to stay in Pawtucket, RI. Mc Coy Stadium is the best AAA ball park in the league. Let the Red Sox owners know that it would be a BIG MISTAKE to move them.

  • Stop the Violence on World Star HipHop
    This petition is to appeal to the President of the United States,Mr Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, to please have WORLD STAR HIP HOP website removed.This website originally promoted music videos but recently I have discovered, It is promoting street fights, bullying, but most of all violence amongst our children. Instead of individuals preventing or breaking up fights or calling for authority, their filming it via video phone and yelling," World Star!"Just recently I was a witness to a 7 year old little girl being attacked by a group of young boys ,whom looked like young teenagers, when asked what happened her little brother said "she was attacked so they can be on World Star Hip Hop." It's disgusting and sad to watch young men, women and children get brutalized and no one do anything but yell or scream out," World Star!" Please ,Please, Please, I am appealing to you Mr President and first lady of the United States and as parents most of all, to consider this petition and put a stop to this senseless violent nonsense.

  • Soccer in our school
    Hello all! I am going to re-do the petition to get soccer in Brimfield. I think it is about the time the board starts talking about next year, so let's show them how much we want soccer at our school. For those in Elmwood, we would love your input also. We cooperate in a lot of sports; maybe soccer could be one of them.

  • Restore the Mesabi Humane Society's Facebook Page
    We the undersigned, would like to see the Facebook page for the Mesabi Humane Society returned to its community friendly version. We are in no way implying that the new director is doing a poor job but we feel that networking the animals is a huge part of our community responsibility. We enjoy seeing pictures of the animals and the new homes of the adopted animals. We also like having the ability to post a photo of a found or lost animal, which in turn can be easily shared. It is fun to see photos of our community and students participating in shelter events and volunteering and this in turn can spark the desire to volunteer in others. By being community oriented, the page can easily share such things as spay/neuter events, fundraisers, etc. We are animal lovers, we are community.... and it takes a community to care for the animals.

  • Ira Lane & Shanelly Drive Recycling Center
    In recent years, the Recycling Center at the intersection of Ira Lane & Shanelly Drive has suffered from considerable misuse/abuse resulting in piles of recyclables, litter, and general rubbish being discarded in and around the recycling area. Township officials have been notified numerous times over the past year+ and have been presented potential resolutions, including requests to relocate the recycling center .5 miles or less from its current location so it may be better monitored and maintained. To date Township officials have been reluctant and/or hesitant to move forward. I'm requesting the community's assistance in addressing this topic.

  • Beaver Dam Solar Field
    We are voting against the solar panel project on Beaver Dam Ch. Rd. This will be one of the largest solar farms in NC. It will be right beside Crest Middle School as well as Pebble Creek Development. Not only is this site bad for home owners the evidence of long term health risk are not known at this time. Why expose so many kids? This land was zoned R20 for residential single home use. Im not against solar farms I just believe there is county land thats better suited for this industry. To much agriculture land is being used up for 30 years of solar farms. Please sign this petition

I STRONGLY urge you- National Geographic Society to Cancel the show that you're going to be showing about these Beautiful animals that are being portrayed as" Monsters" . This idea of a So-called" TV show" is not only SICK, but for a tv business that ONCE promoted positive news and pictures and important educational information to All men, women and children all over the world is now making out a Very important animal for future education for future generations, for our Ecosystem, and for Native American Indian tribal spiritual uses a" Monster" ?? How Pathetic, how low, and how Disrespectful can National Geographic Society be? ? This is just wrong! !!!! That's why We the People, the Advocates for Wolves and All Wildlife strongly urge you to cancel the Show. .. Thank you.

  • Look into the prosecutor misconduct of Smith County Texas
    People are appealing to the courts and not being heard. The Judges and DA's in Smith County Texas are known for not going through all of the procedures of the legal system. Families need for the Federal Government to look into these 50yrs to life sentences and see if the time is merited. My husband received a life sentence for an alleged misdemeanor assault that all the evidence pointed towards his innocence, but yet he was convicted of the crime. We need someone to look at this county's cases that are being appealed, but not being heard. Injustice anywhere is a threat everywhere
