No Duvall WalmartWALMART IS A BAD IDEA FOR OUR COMMUNITY! -Crime: An average of 269 police incidents per year take place at every Walmart— 80% of crimes occur in the parking lots—there is nothing to prevent these criminals from filtering into our neighborhood. -Jobs: Walmart is known for driving out competitors, especially small businesses. What will happen to all the businesses of Vista Gardens and Fairwood if Walmart comes to town? -Parking: The parking lot in Duvall Village is often nearly or completely full as it is. Imagine how tough it would be to find a spot with Super Walmart sharing the lot, too! -Traffic: Getting around town is difficult enough as it is, now imagine what traffic on 450, Glenn Dale Rd., and Atwell Ave. would look like with a Super Walmart! -Property Value: Super Walmarts are usually open 24 hours a day. All of the crime, traffic, trash, and noise generated by a 24-hour store could have very negative effects on the value of our homes.367 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Jennifer Dwyer

MHHS Track & Field UseMountain House is a small community with limited facilities available for public use. Building a track in the center of the planned town and then not allowing the community regular access to it does not make any sense. We should be encouraging people to use our local facilities, not discouraging them.254 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Corey Strock

Del. Carr and Sen. Marsh: Please Support GMO Labeling in VirginiaThis is an issue that affects everyone. GMOs are not currently labeled in Virginia so when we shop at our local grocery stores we do not always know what we are purchasing. If we had companies label GMOs, it would uphold our right to know what is in our food.18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jasmine Brink

Keep the Cameras Off Our StreetsI have a legitimate concern seeing the things going on around the nation, and these things are quickly materializing in our own backyard. Cameras in our streets and highways, drones in our skies, unnecessary police bullying/violence. What is this coming to and how far will it go before we take action?65 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Colton Michael Sheldon

Bereavement Leave PetitionI am the mother of a deceased child and know how hard it is to adjust following the death of a child. My employer allowed 3 days bereavement leave. That was hardly enough time to plan Todd's funeral. The real challenge was adjusting to a new normal following a traumatic loss. If an employee is allowed up to 12 weeks for the birth of a child, why is an employee not allowed the same for the death of a child? Having experienced both, I assure you the latter was a much tougher adjustment for me. A parent should not need a medical diagnosis of depression to utilize the FMLA leave! The obituary should be more than enough! Please help me to help the parents that don't ever want to think they will need this...until they do.2,779 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Sherri Sengsouvanna

To Serve and Protect Our CommunitiesMy husband and I were victimized last year at our home. My neighbors called the police 4 different times and they never came. Even after my neighbors mentioned hearing gun shots, glass breaking and home alarm going off the police still didn't come. After my husband and I were robbed and almost gunned down in our driveway myself and a different neighbor called the police. The police came after the fact. Now my husband is is paralyzed from the waist down. If the police would have responsed to the first call the crime would have been prevented and my husband wouldn't be paralyzed. And the criminals would have been caught. The evidence was not properly collected due to the lack of not caring or doing their job to protect and serve.28 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mrs. Williams

Override Christie's veto of the Sandy Bill of Rights!New Jersey’s Sandy recovery effort is a disaster in itself. The system is so broken that legislators unanimously passed a Sandy Bill of Rights for home and business owners in desperate need of relief. And then, incredibly, Governor Christie vetoed it. Even worse, the Republican legislators who voted for the bill are running scared from the Governor and now have refused to override his veto. The Sandy Bill of Rights would force the state to be upfront about application requirements for Sandy aid, allow applicants to track their aid applications online, and give applicants a clear reason for why their aid requests were denied or put on hold. It will also help ensure that aid is distributed on the basis of need and not politics. This is a winnable fight, but only if we convince legislators that they should be more frightened of a backlash from voters than a backlash from Governor Christie.5,124 of 6,000 SignaturesCreated by Analilia Mejia
