• Childcare: Changing Tables in Restaurants
    I am starting this petition because I experienced having to change my baby's diaper on a bathroom floor in a restaurant which was absolutely disgusting. This petition is to require all restaurants to have changing tables in both women and men's bathrooms. This will help promote cleanliness and a proper area for a parent to change a child.

  • Tell the Postal Service: Create a Maya Angelou postage stamp
    Last week, we lost a phenomenal woman. Maya Angelou lived an inspiring life--one that will continue to influence generations to come. And there's a wonderful way for us as a country to honor her: by commemorating her life with a United States Postal Service stamp. Stamps have featured people for their notable accomplishments in the arts. They have included American heroes, but one is missing. Maya Angelou was influential in so many ways: she was Hollywood's first black female director, a best-selling author of 36 books and presidential inauguration poet. That's why there's movement to create a stamp in her honor. Will you add your name?

  • Mayor Rahm Emanuel:Recognize the accomplishments of Mayor Jane Byrne
    Jane Byrne is 81 years old and in frail health. Her accomplishments during her tenure (1979-1983) as Chicago's first elected woman are still benefitting citizens of this city. Her history and her contributions should be acknowledged in an equally enduring way while she is able to appreciate that she will be remembered when she is no longer with us.

  • NE44th Street Safety
    My daughter was almost run over by a speeding car one December morning while leaving our car to get on her school bus. We have 12 young children on our street who play outside and will be playing more frequently in the summer. We have noted many incidents of speeding up and down the streets. This is a residential area with an elementary school in the neighborhood and older school age children as well. Drivers should be careful when driving within the neighborhood and need to be forced to slow down. Some of our neighbors have already filed a police complaint regarding this issue and a request for the three changes but have not heard back.

  • Texans labeling GMO's
    The risks of consuming food containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are still mostly unknown, but large food corporations have actively lobbied against labeling food containing GMOs. Texans should be given a choice about whether or not to purchase genetically modified food, so I support labeling all food that contains GMOs.

  • Canada: Let us vote
    I was blocked from voting in the last Federal elections; and, until the recent court ruling, I was not going to be able to vote in any future elections.

  • Remove Judge David Smith
    My brother has been in a custody battle for his 2 sons. He had a court hearing today to hopefully finalize the custody. His 2 sons and a DHS representative went before a separate judge who stated he had taken over the case. This judge after hearing from the boys and DHS awarded custody to my brother. The boy's mom then began to throw a fit and went before Judge Smith who had been presiding over the case. After hearing from her and her only he turned over the other judge's order and gave custody to her. This same judge, Judge Smith, has previously granted an emergency custody order to my brother to remove his 2 sons from their mother's custody due to signs of both verbal and physical abuse. Why would a judge send 2 boys back into harm to a mother that has history of abusing them. Please help me protect and be a voice for these 2 boys and remove Judge Smith.

  • President Obama: Thanks for Bringing Bowe Home!
    Some in Congress are attacking the Obama Administration for using diplomacy and transferring prisoners from Guantanamo to bring home U.S. prisoner of war Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. No critic of the Administration has explained how President Obama and Secretary of Defense Hagel were supposed to bring Bowe home without negotiating with the Taliban or agreeing to the prisoner transfer. None has explained why, if the prisoners at Guantanamo are "prisoners of war," they should not be treated like prisoners of war in other conflicts: exchanged for other prisoners of war, or released at the end of hostilities. Show your support for diplomacy and for bringing our soldiers home by signing our petition.

  • Vote No - HB 359
    Immediate Action Required: House Bill 359 (HB 359) is coming up to vote this Thursday, June 6, 2014. The term 'Dry Needling' is Acupuncture, re-branded by Physical Therapists, allowing PT’s and Athletic Trainers to perform acupuncture as part of their scope of practice without adequate training. I cannot endorse the use of Acupuncture under the name “Dry Needling” by therapists who aren’t properly trained acupuncturists. HB 359 has no provision for training requirements. Improper needling can cause serious injury and harm. Proper needling takes years of training to be applied safely and effectively. As a public health and saftey issue, I am asking you to vote no on HB 359.

  • Add Germantown as a Neighborhood
    If you go to this site..... http://www.visitphilly.com/philadelphia-neighborhoods/ You will see that Germantown is NOT an option as a neighborhood in Philadelphia. Yet, when you click on Mt. Airy here.... http://www.visitphilly.com/philadelphia-neighborhoods/mt-airy/view-all/ You'll see that most of the attractions they cite are actually in Germantown....Grumblethorpe, Awbury Arboretum, the Johnson House, Maxwell Mansion, Wyck, Cliveden..... That's a travesty!!! Please take a moment and let the visitphilly people (which used to be called the Greater Philadelphia Tourism and Cultural something and is THE official tourism site for Philadelphia) know that Germantown needs to be recognized as the steward of all these sites.... Sign our petition.
