• Unseal birth records of adoptees
    My husband, Matthew DiPaulo, was adopted back in 1969. A time when single parenthood was a disgrace. Birth Certificates were amended to show the adoptive parents as the birth parents and original birth records were sealed. This has left 1000's of adoptees in the dark about their heritage & even more importantly their medical history. These children of adoption are now adults, many with families of their own. The time has come to end the secrecy & lies & give back to the adoptees what is rightfully theirs ..... Their original birth certificate.

  • Protect Holt Drive Access to Flathead Lake
    The Holt Drive Flathead Lake public access is a Flathead County road right-of-way that provides the only year-round public access to the North Shore of Flathead Lake east of the Flathead River. The access lies half (15') on private land and half (15') on public land. The private landowner wants the Flathead County Commissioners to 'abandon' (close) the access. If you use this access or think public access to Flathead Lake should be protected and maintained, please sign this petition. Thank you!

  • Fairness in school discipline and alternatives to expulsion.
    We are starting this petition because we believe that all children should get the best chance at success. Education should determine a person's future, not a youthful mistake in judgment.

  • Zoning Petition Opposing New Text and Modification to the Zoning Regulations Proposed by Berwick ...
    We, the owners and renters of properties on Fairchild and Berwick Avenues (Fairfield, CT), the same roads of the property that is the subject of this zoning case (the proposed 33-unit building by Berwick Fairchild and Associates, LLC), oppose the requested zoning changes, most importantly the following: -The addition of Sec. 10.16.13, which will increase the population in excess to the current density, it also being quadruple the bedroom density of the 54-unit affordable housing project called Fairchild Apartments, across from the proposed Berwick Fairchild Site. -The addition of 10.9.3, which in its vagaries, could allow for any building in a Residence B neighborhood to be converted into a multi-unit facility, even if the building was designed as a single-family residence. -The modification of 10.11, which will increase the building height to four stories, far in excess of any housing in the neighborhood. -The modification of 10.17.3, which eliminates the minimum number of affordable or market units, thereby violating the spirit of the affordable housing program within the town. -The modification of 28.6.1, which would allow the project to have one car spare per unit, far less than common sense indicates that the development needs.

  • Due Dates for Child Support (PA)
    Currently, a payor can remit on the first of one month & the last day of the next & be within the letter of the law, even though he has effectively skipped a month. Rents, mortgages, credit cards and other billers don't allow us to pay that way, so why does the state?

  • Stop&Shop: Label GMO Foods
    While more research needs to be done to understand the full impact of GMOs, they are not without risk. For example, some GMOs are designed to allow for increased use of pesticides, which have been linked to serious health and environmental impacts. And GMOs usually don’t undergo safety testing before they’re allowed onto the market.

  • Keep Washington State Parks funded and functional
    Public parks and access to the outdoors have been a major contributing factor to the sense of well-being in my life. I can't imagine if my local park (Moran State Park) were closed. Similar to libraries, parks are a fundamental building block for the quality of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness that should always be available, and funded, for all americans regardless of geography or economic status. Keep our parks green, keep our parks safe, and keep our parks open!

  • Revise Practices of Third Party Utility Suppliers
    Third party utility suppliers send notification of contract expirations that look like junk mail. If you don't respond, they are then authorized to raise your rates (mine increased 82%). Getting your rate back to a contracted rate, takes months. This is unfair business practice.

  • Reform Child Support NOW!
    I have been personally affected by the current child support system in a negative manner. The current law is outdated, unfair, and in many instances, unconstitutional. Reform is needed so that the modern family and our diverse situations can be correctly addressed. This will ensure that proper guidelines are being mandated and followed. No child deserves to be subjected to witnessing their parent fall victim to the child support system.

  • Denver Parks Management
    We, as Denver Park Participants, join together in requesting a dismissal of the proposed pilot project of banning legal consumption of alcohol in Denver parks, beginning with Wash Park. We contend that there has been gross negligence of investigation, as well as an exaggeration, on the the accusations that alcohol is the root cause and driver of the following behaviors: unruly citizens, lewd behavior, public intoxication, public indecency, public defecation, parking violations, etc. Under current regulations and laws, these behaviors can and should be ticketed. The lack of current enforcement due to an underestimation of the popularity and use of public parks does not warrant additional regulation. We agree the safety and enjoyment of our fellow park participants is the priority and charter of the parks system. We support legitimate and sound recommendations to park improvements, and look forward to working with our local governing body to make public and informed decisions that will impact all Denver Park Participants.
