• Terminate Professor Ersula Ore's Employment with ASU.
    A simple request to provide ID has become a national embarrassment for ASU. Professor Ore's violent assault on a police officer who was simply trying to do his job highlights a serious problem with her personal character. These flaws became more apparent when Professor Ore had the audacity to have her lawyer make insinuations of sexual assault via news media to justify her attack on a police officer. Her actions are a disgrace to the position of Professor and to ASU. Professor Ore's actions paint a grim picture of educators at ASU. Her behavior is unbecoming of an educator who is in the position to shape young minds, and it is for this reason that ASU must terminate her employment immediately.

  • Housing For People With Records
    To help disabled people who have families and a criminal record get a fair chance at housing. It's messed up when they put you on the waiting list wait til you get to the top, set up an interview, and then deny you, have you come back for an appeal, and then say no.

  • Making An Age Limit On The Baby Pool Area Of The Hasson Pool.
    My children have been affected by older children, too old to be in a baby pool, being splashed, pushed, and scared to enter the water due to older children running into the baby pool section, without regard for the younger children and babies. This has not just happened to me, but to many other parents' children, and no lifeguards have seemed to care to do anything about any of these issues.

  • Stop Tree Ordinance in Huntington Woods
    I would like the city to limit the Tree Ordinance to public property until a vote/more debate can be had about private property trees. There is concern that this ordinance was misrepresented and/or misunderstood.

  • 23andMe DNA Relatives feature settings should be set to "Public Match" by default
    I'm an adult adoptee who took the DNA test with 23andMe last year in hopes to find more information about my family tree and possibly locate my birth family. But every time I get a new match (like a 2nd or 3rd cousin, or even 4th cousins), it's like I hit a brick wall! Most of the time, they have their settings set on private just because they never bothered to adjust them, so most of my DNA cousins remain anonymous or have their box not to accept sharing genome info clicked by default. So unless someone goes into their account settings and change the settings, their profiles remain invisible to ALL the members of 23andMe by default. That is really frustrating for a lot of adoptees and even a huge number of non-adoptees who are interested in filling those gaps in their family history. 23andMe already has the blocking feature for unwanted contacts! My petition is to make public match the default feature! Off course we can always change our settings to private at will. That will not change and should not change!

  • With no buffer zones, Boston archbishop should speak out against clinic harassment
    On December 30, 1994, a man walked into a Planned Parenthood clinic in Massachusetts, shouted "This is what you get! You should pray the rosary!" and shot the receptionist to death. So with the support of local law enforcement, Massachusetts passed a law prohibiting protests within 35 feet of abortion clinics. Yesterday, the United States Supreme Court struck that law down. Today, women in Massachusetts are wondering whether, at their next medical appointment, they'll end up face to face with people who shout, spit, and threaten -- all while calling themselves "pro-life Christians." Boston Archbishop Sean O'Malley has the power to set a very different example. Yes, he's well-known for his opposition to abortion -- but also for his thoughtful and pastoral approach to church leadership. Cardinal O'Malley should immediately call on Massachusetts Catholics to voluntarily refrain from holding protests outside abortion clinics -- and remind the nation that, no matter what you think about abortion, there's nothing Christian about harassment and intimidation.

  • Request for a Flood Prevention Forum for the Northwest Side
    We are starting this petition, because our plea for effective and broad preventive flood measures needs to be taken seriously and requires immediate response. Our community has gone through multiple floods, which are becoming more frequent, requiring us to repeatedly spend thousands of dollars on undoing the flood damage. We cannot sustain such reactive actions, all while we are simultaneously dealing with ever increasing taxes and decreasing incomes.

  • Fireworks, short term celebration, long term public nuisance
    The time of year that I and many, many others might enjoy the most has now become an any night, any time, selfish invasion of explosions and pyrotechnics. People with rudely awakened and scared kids, terrified and trembling pets in need of medication, elderly and/or people battling illnesses who need their rest, veterans with PTSD, and fire dangers all deserve better consideration. A common sense solution for a lack-of-common-courtesy problem.

  • Please don't gut Maui's workforce housing ordinance! We need it!
    I am a hard-working grandmother. I have a good job, I work hard, I raised children and grandchildren here on Maui, I try hard to save, I pray and I play by the rules. But for me and almost every family I know we cannot afford a house or a condo. We are all being priced out of our island, and in another generation many of our local families will be gone. Protecting our workforce housing ordinance is the least we can do to try and keep Maui, Maui.

  • Petition to Stop the Sale of the Facilities Services Greenhouse
    Due to budget cuts and a deficit estimated at 12-14 Million USD, UAF has decided to discontinue its use of the Facilities Services Greenhouse in favor of selling it at auction and using its former footprint as a staging area for the upcoming powerplant renovation. Instead, due to its considerably greater value outside of the standard economic model, we propose to relocate it within the campus to increase student access to locally-grown produce and educational opportunities.
