Safeway: Label GMO FoodsSign the petition to the CEO of Safeway and ask him to label GMOs in store-brand products. GMOs aren’t without risk — some are designed for increased pesticides, which have been linked to serious health and environmental effects. And they usually don’t undergo safety testing before being brought to market. Some stores, like Whole Foods, have started labeling their GMO products, and we think Safeway should too.136 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Emily Scarr, Maryland PIRG

Jewel-Osco (Albertsons) CEO: Label GMOs in Store-brand ProductsConsumers have a right to make healthy, responsible, and informed choices about the food we eat. Yet it’s usually impossible to know whether our food contains GMOs. GMOs aren’t without risk— some are designed for increased pesticides, which have been linked to serious health and environmental effects. And they usually don’t undergo safety testing before being brought to market. Congress has not adopted a GMO labeling requirement, but in the meantime some stores, like Whole Foods, have responded to the strong concern of customers by labeling their GMO products, so we’re asking Jewel to start labeling store-brand products that contain GMOs.401 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Andre Delattre

Do you want disgusting bugs to destroy our locally-grown produce? Of course not!- Local farmers would not survive if this bill were passed. Safe use of pesticides allow them to grow fresh, healthy, affordable, local produce available to everyone without the threat of insects and pests. - Local farmers provide sustainability for our island state. Without them, we'll have to import all of our fresh produce at high costs. - Farmers and Ranchers already disclose their pesticide use information as regulated by State and Federal law. The pesticides that are used have very strict rules and parameters that certified users must abide by and have been vigorously tested for health and safety purposes. - Approximately 3 trillion meals with GMO ingredients have been consumed without incident. - Benefits of biotech include a reduction in pesticide spraying which is the equivalent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions as removing 10.2 million cars from the road for a year while saving crops such as the papaya. - Over 600 peer-reviewed studies (1/3 of which are independently funded) show that biotech (GMO) crops are safe and beneficial. We support Federal and State laws that regulate pesticides and GMOs to provide parity for farmers and ranches statewide. To our Elected Officials, As a resident of Hawaii, I urge you to please oppose additional County level regulations relating to the use of pesticides and GMO. By signing this, I support existing State & Federal laws. Support for agriculture is needed, not additional regulations.

Label GMO Foods at SafewayWe have a right to make healthy, responsible, and informed choices about the food we eat and our families eat. But food and biotech giants like Monsanto, Dupont, and Pepsi are spending millions to keep consumers in the dark and block GMO labeling. GMOs aren't without risk and some are designed for increased pesticides, which have been linked to serious health and environmental effects. We can't wait for Congress to pass a national GMO labeling law, so instead we need Safeway to take the lead and start labeling their store-brand products that contain GMOs.212 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Austin Price

Privacy IssuesThe guest bathrooms should be available to all individuals living in Kappa Alpha Theta because all attendants pay their fees to use all of the facilities of this house. Even if these bathrooms were only used for guests, it would still be a considerable hassle to unlock the doors for every single guest visit. If there were considerable damage being done to the guest bathrooms, such an action might be reasonable. On another note, the door to the Conversation Room should be reinstalled. Without this room there is an incredible lack of privacy in the house. All residents of this house should be able to receive private calls, take interview calls, etc. in a quiet, secluded place. The Conversation Room has always been such a place, and the room, as it stands now, serves no intermittent purpose.89 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Caroline Chumakov

Ending Cannabis Prohibition in MississippiThe end of cannabis prohibition in the Great State of Mississippi is both a compassionate and business savvy way of providing jobs and tax revenue for the benefit of all Mississippians. We all know someone, or would benefit ourselves, from legislation ending cannabis prohibition. Whether it's a child with an unmanageable seizure disorder, a veteran suffering through the nightmare of PTSD, or a small farmer on the brink of bankruptcy looking for a versatile , marketable , cash crop--all of us know someone who will benefit from this initiative. Thank you for your time!185 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Mississippi for Medical Marijuana

Repeal Georgia's "Stand Your Ground" LawWe do not want a tragedy like the Trayvon Martin case to happen to a citizen of Georgia because of our "shoot first," "stand your ground" law. No citizen should be profiled and shot while their perpetrator is allowed to go unpunished due to such a law with unclear applications and loopholes. Therefore, we call upon the Georgia Legislature to repeal Georgia's "Stand Your Ground" law. Sen. Vincent Fort has drafted legislation to repeal this law, and we call upon you to support and pass the repeal of "Stand Your Ground" in the state of Georgia!365 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Leigh Touchton
