Students who participate on any high school sports team should be EXEMPT from Physical Education ...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.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Emily Hirsch

Retirement security matters!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!127 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Betsy Markey

Lower the Legal Drinking Age to 18The 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."

Prevent Marineland Ontario From Abusing Their Wildlife!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.42 of 100 SignaturesCreated by sara eagen

Driving AgeI 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.23 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cheyenne Augustine

Lower the Legal Drinking Age to 18At 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.67 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Emilee Barone

Coastal safetyI 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.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Richard Sharpless

Require bicycle parking in multi-family dwelling unitsThis 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.40 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Julie Eldridge
