As an athletic student, I feel gym class is a waste of time. I would rather be educated and be focused in other areas in school instead of being educated on physical activity, which I do everyday after school on my high school swim team. High school athletic students should be exempt from physical education class if they so wish.

Too many Coloradans don’t have the means to retire with dignity, putting strain on families and forcing people to work beyond when they planned to. The State Treasurer should lead the charge on the issue, not spend his time on Fox News condemning Social Security or suing the state retirement system. But when it’s time to do the job, Walker Stapleton hardly even shows up. Colorado deserves a full-time Treasurer who makes retirement security a top priority. Sign your name and demand a Treasurer who shows up, works with both sides and keeps politics out of the process. Let him know it’s time to stop using retirement security as a political football and get the job done! Retirement security is too important to ignore, so join us today!

The deaths due to drinking age aren't much lower due to the drinking age being higher, and if a kid wants to drink so bad, they are going to find a way to do it, no matter what age they are. "The decrease in drunk driving fatalities as a percentage of total traffic fatalities in the United States does not correlate to the MLDA. Since 1982, two years prior to the Uniform Drinking Age Act establishing an MLDA of 21, a decline of drunk driving fatalities occurred across all age groups and demographic categories, and therefore cannot be reliably attributed to MLDA 21. Traffic accidents and fatalities are most common among newly-legal drinkers, regardless of the MLDA. In 2009, the 21- to 24-year-old age group had the highest percentage of drivers in fatal crashes with blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) levels of .08 or higher – 35 percent. Any increase in traffic accidents or fatalities in 18- to 20-year-olds would be offset by a decrease for those 21 and older. There are fewer drunk driving traffic accidents and fatalities in many countries with MLDA of 18. Although the United States increased the MLDA to 21 in 1984, its rate of traffic accidents and fatalities in the 1980s decreased less than that of European countries whose legal drinking ages are lower than 21."

I am starting this petition because animal abuse is still a big problem all over the world, and you can't begin to end this by walking house to house and finding animal abuse behind closed doors. I decided to start with Marineland because it has already been documented that there is animal abuse taking place there. Even 8 former employees came forward and admitted this. If no attention is paid to this, more and more animals that should be free in the wild will be confined in a place that doesn't even treat them properly.

I believe the driving age should be increased to age 18 because of a personal life experience. I was 17 at the time and was careless and acted out. I always drove fast, loving the speed. I guess to say I had a need for speed and couldn't help myself. Because I was young and because of being an inexperienced driver I totaled my car and managed to overcome serious damage to myself. I had 11 broken ribs, 14 fractures in my pelvis, a broken shoulder, internal bleeding, and internal damage. Let's prevent this from happening to other kids and raise the driving age.

At age 18, you are eligible to join the armed forces and die for your country. If you are seen as responsible enough to die fighting for your country, you should also been seen as responsible enough to consume alcohol.

I am starting this petition because we've all known people who have died on the water, and thus know the danger. The people who have been saved by the vigilance of those folks on the helicopter are many. We need the eyes, ears, and knowledge these saviors in the sky posses to keep tragedies down.

This issue affects me and my neighbors where we live, adjacent to the regional Bay Trail in bicycle-friendly Alameda, California. It is just wrong that apartment owners provide car parking spaces to their tenants but no place to secure their bicycles! A decree by Governor Brown would require all cities in California to put the bicycle parking provision in their zoning ordinances, who in turn would require all multi-family housing owners to provide a secure bike shed or bike lockers on the property AND allow bicycles to be stored on patios, decks and balconies.

As long time fans, supporters, and followers of the hit television series, "Dallas" for both network and cable television we, the Undersigned, call upon the Chief Executive Officers and Marketing Managers of these Corporations to seriously consider giving this outstanding series/franchise a home on your network or cable television channel(s). "Dallas," and the fictional 'Ewing Family' have had a place at both dinner and tray tables the world over, originally, from 1978 to 1991 on CBS then again in 2012 on TNT and until recently it was the BEST SHOW on television anywhere under writers and producers headed by Ms. Cynthia Cidre and Mr. Mike Robin. Link #1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas_%281978_TV_series%29 Link #2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas_%282012_TV_series%29 We believe that the cast and crew from this series is the BEST in television, and should be given every opportunity and every chance to succeed! That is why we petition your corporations to seriously consider lending space and time to this iconic television series. Cementing its place in television history. Thank you for your support and consideration. We look forward to your response...

It seems ludicrous to endanger the lives of so many people by lengthening the response time. If Newport has the highest concentration of people going to sea, it only makes sense for Newport to have the rescue capability at hand. Please sign to protect the lives of our sea going community.

This Judge has been deemed Unethical and publicly admonished by his peers for attempting to intimidate a public college in an effort to further his own son's career while trampling on the rights of other Father's who want to see their children.. John Nesbitt has refused to allow me to have custody of my child. He refuses to enforce his own order which allows me visitation rights with my son! Tell this unethical Judge to enforce his own visitation order or grant me full custody of my 16 year old son who wants to live with me or show one single reason why it shouldn't be allowed. Put up or shut up Nesbitt!

Dominus Holdings, LLC is trying to change their plans for 838 W Erie Street. They want to remove/reduce the set backs and make the buildings taller. Residents have already met, discussed and approved an architectural plan. We did not approve these changes!
