I am a railroad worker, and just like you would want 2 people in the cockpit on your next flight, you should want to have 2 people on the trains rolling through your towns and by your homes.

Sgt David Scott [my brother, U.S. Army] was just married to Sgt 1st Class Jaida Scott [Aug '13]. Jaida was just assigned to Fort Shafter in Hawaii. Hawaii is a 3 yr tour. David has been in the army 17 yrs, has 4 deployments [1 Afghanistan- 3 Iraq] & 2 unaccompanied tours. He's not being allowed to accompany his wife due to Hawaii being a 3 yr tour and he only has 2 yrs & 9 mo of service left. Families shouldn't be split. Please sign this petition so it can get to Congress or President Obama.

Things are completely out of control for landlords. There are volumes on tenant rights, free legal counsel for tenants, and nothing at all to protect the property owners. I almost lost my property, and I know others who have lost theirs, as a result of the ridiculous laws that protect , even ENCOURAGE deadbeat tenants!! The whole system needs repair, quicker evictions, and to stop making landlords responsible for all costs.

Justice For Marcus B. Van Cleaf This Petition is to draw community awareness and concern after the recent Murder of Marcus B. Van Cleaf, a 32 year old Great Grand Son, Grandson, Son, Father, Brother, Nephew, Cousin, Uncle and Friend who was murdered Saturday, June 21, 2014. This petition will be used to bring awareness of an Illegal After Hours Club operating in a residential area on the Near East Side of Columbus, OH. This After Hours Club, located at 1323 East Fulton Avenue, Columbus, OH 43205 is located on the Northeast corner of Kimball and Fulton and has been in existence over the past 30 years as an after-hours night club responsible for 5 murders since the late 70s, various drug activity, fights, shootings, prostitution, and illegal liquor sales. As a community, we would like for the City of Columbus to condemn and demolish said building and use (if available) allocated funds from the City’s budget to convert the land into a Memorial Park in Honor of those who have lost their lives at the hands of this establishment. By signing this petition you agree that enough is enough and how many more people have to die at the hands of this establishment.

STOP THE GREED! Put an end to the rising number of evictions in San Francisco, CA, using the Ellis Act, which allows landlords to evict tenants, temporarily shut down a rental property, and then sell it at a profit.

I have been personally affected by the name Shockoe Bottom all my life. It's so sexually charged and hard to pronounce. Say it a few times really fast. See what I mean? So sexual. So difficult. It's time to change this. Are you with me, Richmond?!

My husband and I are over 55 and have been researching future housing options for ourselves, but we are not willing to give up our pets. Our cats are part of our family and should not be discriminated against.

"The W.O.S.P. is Oakland’s plan to help developers and incoming high wage populations speed up the accumulation of capital in Oakland." The City of Oakland's webpage touts our position as "the most diverse city in America." Without actual plans protecting long-time, low income, disabled, elderly, LGBTQ, and P.O.C. residents, that unique distinction will be lost. Oakland need not suffer the same fate as San Francisco. Council voting on this redevelopment plan should not proceed without more protective policy overlays. The petition will not stop the W.O.S.P., but will provide time to add citizen safeguards. That's essential when we're talking about eminent domain. https://www.facebook.com/Oak.Awake http://oaklandlocal.com/2014/04/wosp-the-city-of-oaklands-plan-for-gentrification-a-target-for-anti-displacement-activity-community-voices/ www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Gentrification-transforming-face-of-Oakland-5387273.php

I am really depressed about the way Councilor Fukunaga has singled out these families for removal as part of the rules governing the sale of city owned housing. I know many of these people personally and I think they are being targeted in order for a few wealthy land owners to drive the price of their properties up. It would be easy to manage the sale of the city owned housing without kicking these people out!

I am a resident of Murrieta, and I believe that Mayor Alan Long should be censured for violating Murrieta's Code of Conduct and inciting an anti-immigrant mob that has damaged our City's reputation! After Mayor Long made the time and location of the refugee transfer public and called on residents to send a strong message to Washington DC, a hostile crowd reacted by harassing a bus made up of mostly women and children from Central America and blocking their safe transfer to Border Control. News outlets everywhere caught this anti-immigrant mob waving signs comparing the refugees to wet dogs, and even spitting in someone's face. Although many of these protestors were not even from Murrieta, the national coverage of this incident has stained the reputation of our community. I know of good citizens in Murrieta who in no way share the sentiments of these extremists. Many in Murrieta reject this protest and do not believe it reflects the values of our city and the United States. Mayor Long and others took action that not only harms our reputation, but violates our City's Code of Conduct as well. The Murrieta Code of Conduct requires elected officials to "refrain from participating in negative activity and avoid personal attacks against fellow officials, staff and the public to insure the reputation and integrity of those individuals and the city." But this hostile mob can be traced directly to Mayor Long's press conference and subsequent Facebook posts about the transfer of refugees. He's even said that he's "proud" of what happened! Our City Council’s Code of Conduct also tells elected officials: "Murrieta’s voting citizens are the ultimate enforcers of this code. However, I fully understand that I am subject to the City Council’s commendation or censorship, depending upon my ability to exemplify the ethical behavior promoted by this code." I'm calling on the Murrieta City Council to follow the Code of Conduct for elected officials and censure Mayor Alan Long now!

The deliberate spraying of citizens is UNAUTHORIZED and ILLEGAL. It is destroying our health and our personal property. I personally have been so adversely affected that I have had to leave not only my own property, but the country. This is not to mention that I PAY TAXES on MY PROPERTY and should have the right to clean air over my own home. I cannot even go out to tend to my own backyard garden. I can no longer eat the things I grew, as the soil is polluted and so are my crops. This is deliberate and criminal. Every single individual knowingly responsible for this needs to be taken to JUSTICE. Now!
