  • Audio and Video Surveillance for Taxi Cabs
    My petition would help other victims of sexual abuse in a taxi cab to get justice quicker. It might even prevent the abuse from happening. I am personally affected by this issue. I was sexually assaulted by a cab driver. If there was audio and video surveillance in the cab it would have provided the police with evidence that the driver did threaten my well being.

  • Say NO to Ted Nugent at the Clark County Fair 2014
    I have attended the Clark County Fair since the 1970s and cannot remember a time when such a personality was booked for entertainment. Clark County does not need to be open for business to the sort of well-known negative rhetoric that is espoused by this character. Do not support this wrong decision.

  • Tell the NBA: Racist LA Clippers owner has to go!
    The audio recording that allegedly features LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling on a racist and sexist rant -- telling his girlfriend that she can’t be seen with black people in public -- is appalling. This is not the first time Sterling has been accused of such disgraceful prejudice and hostility. He has displayed repeated misogynistic behavior, and has been sued multiple times for racial discrimination. Meanwhile, the NBA continues to turn a blind eye and let the 80-year-old billionaire keep his esteemed position as a NBA team owner. Enough is enough.

  • Don't Leave Poor People Out of the Minimum Wage Debate
    People should have the option to choose their methods of medication; therefore, marijuana should be legalized for medicinal purposes.

  • Money or Votes?
    Frustration. Is it all about money, or also reminding people of the importance of voting during an election that gets little turn-out?

  • Berkeley City Council: Stop suing yourself, your citizens, and your staff!
    The Berkeley City Council's new redistricting map, voted in by a 6-3 vote, was quickly overturned by a popular referendum – Berkeley citizens were unhappy that it split neighborhoods, divided UC Berkeley students along conservative and progressive lines, and made it very likely that one of the few *truly* progressive Council members we have would *not* be re-elected. Now the Council majority (those in favor of the new map) is trying to enforce its will by hiring a private law firm to sue its citizens and other members of the City Council and city staff. This is not how democracy is supposed to work, especially in a town like Berkeley! Find an acceptable compromise map, and don’t make citizens who are participating in the democratic process pay wasteful legal fees.

  • Hutto Independent School District Stop Manipulating School Records!
    This petition is directed at the administration in Hutto Independent School District. It is in regards to the retaliatory tactics being used to wrongfully accuse a family of participating in a child's truancy. These are false accusations based on the fact that the child was in attendance for the days in question. Brandy Baker assured this family upon their request that the child would not participate in STAAR testing, or any STAAR related materials. Only to enroll him in "tutorials" directly related to STAAR testing. The child in question was also led to believe by the administration at Hutto High School, that he did not have to attend. However he was counted absent 14 times continuously, and was marked as absent for 14 full days. While his attendance records show he was in all of his other classes for that day. The absent count at the bottom of the sheet clearly states "days unexcused". In addition, after this family officially removed the children from school, the administration including but not limited to Roy Christian, at Farley Middle School continues to count that child as absent as well. These are obvious retaliatory measures being conducted by Hutto ISD in general. Please stop the manipulation of these records and the false accusation of families involved. And we also ask that the Judge in the Truancy Court take this issue into consideration. This is unbelievable behavior from our children's educators and has forced parents to remove their children from school permanently, opting for home schooling. Your honor we would like these manipulations investigated, and all parties involved to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Falsifying a state document in the State of Texas is a Third Degree Felony, and we expect nothing less than prosecution for these charges. We also request that the families presented before you, with obvious records manipulations, be relieved of all charges and penalties as they stand falsely accused due to the records manipulation.

  • End lifetime bans and limit background checks to 7 years for 2nd degree and lower non violent off...
    Far too many have been caught up in the all encompassing snare of collateral consequences of criminal conviction. After being incarcerated and denied physical freedom, and after paying restitution and/or fines, the debt to society is paid. It is cruel and unusual punishment to make a 2nd degree or lower non violent offender suffer collateral consequences for life, and be kept from honest work or volunteering.

  • Santa Fe County Zoning Proposal on Hwy 14
    A portion of the land adjacent to and north of the Rancho San Marcos subdivision on the east side of Highway 14 has a proposed zoning area as "mixed use" in the county's Sustainable Land Development Code which will go before the voters for adoption this year. This area was previously zoned Rural Residential. Mixed use includes residential and commercial structures and can include high-density residential structures that are about 3 levels high. Having mixed use abut our neighborhood will significantly change the character of our neighborhood in a number of ways including traffic on 14, light pollution, and noise pollution, to mention a few. This zoning change has the potential to significantly impact property values and quality of life in our neighborhood, especially for those on the north side. It is felt that maintaining the area zoning as Rural Residential would preserve the present nature of the area while still allowing for development by its owners.
