MBTA: don't make a mess!Just as the late-night T service begins, the MBTA is planning to cut cleaning services to the bone beginning September 1st. At stations across the Greater Boston, nearly 100 out of 315 janitors are about to lose their jobs – nearly 1/3 of the total cleaning workforce. This means grime-filled staircases, dirty walls, garbage-strewn stations and sticky floors. I´ve been cleaning these stations for over 8 years. These cuts are not going to work . . . and we are going to smell the results.197 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jorge Rivera

Historical Justice for the African Holocaust in the Congo Free State (1885-1908).The Free State criminal rule was eventually condemned in its day by the international community. However, history was forgotten and currently Belgium is denying the truth, glorifying Leopold II with monuments and euro coins. Even though there were some books written recently and the British Parliament proposed a motion on it in 2006, this horrific murderous regime has not yet received its due historical justice.71 of 100 Signatures

Open Road to Sunrise SoonerPLEASE OPEN THE SUNRISE SIDE OF THE PARK NOW Mt. Rainier National Park puts huge efforts into the Paradise side of the Park benefitting the small towns along the way while our Sunrise side is low on the priority list. Help us send a message to the Park that Enumclaw and Sunrise matter. Lost visitor traffic through our community irreparably damages our small hometown economy. The National Park service calls Enumclaw a "Gateway Community." The roads are nearly cleared and plowed. The gates should open. The Park website currently shows a planned opening date for Sunrise of July 3rd. Paradise, and the Paradise area is kept open year-round with plans to open a second road - Paradise Valley on June 20th. The lack of an earlier opening date unfairly hurts businesses in Enumclaw, Greenwater and Crystal Mountain - sending Mt. Rainier traffic through Ashford to the other side of the Park. We are asking for the road to open by next weekend, June 20, if not sooner.136 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Susan Etchey

Collamer Residents against the Development of Dollar GeneralWe feel that this is not the right location for a Dollar General. A large corporate company in a small neighborhood is not a right fit. Childrens' bus stops are at this exact location and we feel is a danger to their well being and safety.32 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Elizabeth Usiatynski

Save NC Youth Advocacy and Involvement OfficeThe NC Youth Advocacy and Involvement Office (YIAO) hosts programs such as the State Youth Council (SYC), SADD, and the Youth Legislative Assembly (YLA). Eliminating this office would abolish the SYC and SADD. Furthermore, YLA would be moved under the authority of the NC General Assembly and would not remain the program that it has been for the past 44 years. The SYC is responsible for the youth councils across this state. These councils provide teenagers with a welcoming environment where teens learn leadership, dedication to community service, and volunteering! The budget that has been proposed by the NC General Assembly would eliminate the Youth Advocacy and Involvement Office; therefore, abolishing the State Youth Council and SADD, as well as changing the Youth Legislative Assembly from its traditions. We urge the North Carolina General Assembly to continue to fully fund the Youth Advocacy and Involvment Office!104 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Daniel Alvarado

Citizens of Palestine Demand ActionThere have been irrefutable facts, as well as personal and professional opinions presented showing that Robert Herbert is not a good fit for the Palestine Police Department YET Palestine City Council has chosen to ignore the facts and sugar coat the problem to make it slowly melt away. We must show the officers that we will support them. We must put our 'money where our mouth is' and put our name on this document showing Palestine's City Manager, Mayor and Council that we will not stop until positive change has been created.344 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Kari Nino

Please Save SAA Football !!!The lack of leadership from the football commissioner. This years flag program was absolutely horrible. The kids weren't covered under the insurance policy. The Football Program is rapidly failing with no signs of recovery. The numbers are at a all time low. In fact the lowest they have ever been in the history of the program. With more parents on the fence right now threatening to leave and move on. Something needs to happen RIGHT NOW !!!!10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Loyal SAA Member

Rocky Creek Channel Markers Needed, Tampa FLLocal citizens have personally maintained the channel markers throughout the years. We were informed by Hillsborough County that we are not allowed to continue doing this.

Shut down WorldStarHipHop.ComIts a unfortunate day and age we live in when sites like worldstarhiphop.com can use young men and women. Mostly Africn American to go out and commit heinous crimes with the hopes of being posted. On any given day amongst the plethora of ignorant music videos, you may also find in the myriad of choice videos posted choices such as "old man gets knocked out", or "man having sex in the parking lot", or more infamously its "fight week" compilation, where you can see a person punching another person into a coma! Literally!!! This site grosses millions of dollars every year and is owned and operated by Lee "Q" Q'Denat. A person who has shown he is totally apathetic to the harm he is causing, and just relishes the often used phrase of "Worldstar" as a person commits another crime to be shared. Help stop this tragedy on the internet!!!39 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mirandah lienburg
