Fathers rights 50/50 shared parenting planChildren need their fathers and many of us are being pushed aside antiquated laws and ideas about men not being able to nurture. We must act and allow fathers like myself to have consistent involvement with their children regardless of the relationship with the mother.289 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Carlos A.

Demand Ralph Lauren stop exploiting the UFW’s logo!Just a few months ago, the UFW found its registered trademark black eagle logo being printed and sold by Urban Outfitters without permission on t-shirts for a whopping $65! The Latino community was in an uproar over this exploitation of our culturally rich and historic mark. Thanks to this outspoken support, Urban Outfitters contacted the UFW within hours of receiving a letter from our attorneys. Since then the UFW has been in good faith discussions with Urban Outfitters for reparations and future insurance against such violations. Cesar Chavez’ brother Richard designed the UFW Black Eagle so that union members could easily draw it on handmade red flags. Cesar said: “A symbol is an important thing. That is why we chose an Aztec eagle. It gives pride...When people see it they know it means dignity.” Ralph Lauren’s expropriation of the UFW’s Black Eagle dishonors the trademark and those who have fought and died for the integrity it represents. It falsely implies the UFW may have endorsed Ralph Lauren clothing, damaging the UFW’s extensive good will. Send Ralph Lauren a strong message that you will not stand for this. Send an e-mail to Ralph Lauren demanding Ralph Lauren respect the Latino community and UFW by immediately pulling all infringing products from its shelves. Tell Ralph Lauren that their misappropriation of the UFW's trademark logo that represents pride and dignity for our community will not be tolerated.708 of 800 SignaturesCreated by UFW

Ban private use of fireworks in FloridaFireworks are no longer just used on the 4th of July, they are now being used to celebrate Memorial Day, Labor Day, Christmas and New Years Eve and they are used days and weeks leading up to and beyond the Holiday. The noise terrifies our domestic animals as well as local wildlife, they are a nuisance, a fire hazard and a danger to humans and other species. Local law enforcement is often unable to locate those violating the laws already in place or unable to respond to the number of complaints they are receiving.1,608 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Lisa

Texas Schools: Boycott Justin LookadooJustin Lookadoo recently made national news when parents at a Texas high school protested his presentation at a student assembly. According to his website and numerous videos, Lookadoo's program is laced with outdated gender stereotypes (dateable girls "know when to shut up," and dateable guys are "real men" who are "stronger and more dangerous" than girls). He also promotes controversial religious ideas and has been affiliated with various Christian summer camps run by Exodus, a now-defunct ex-gay ministry. While the Dallas-area school has apologized and promised never to have Lookadoo back, he is scheduled to appear at a number of other Texas schools in the coming months. This ignorant, even dangerous rhetoric has no place in a public school.3,442 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Val Benavidez

Gov.Quinn:Close loopholes in Illinois child support systemWhile going through a child support battle I found that state licenses aren't revoked or suspended until there are 90 consecutive days of non payment.As a result I am receiving minimal payment every 88 days. This loophole needs to be fixed. My children's father owns his own business and is taking full advantage of this 90 day rule.

Man the 15th Street Substation in TacomaThe Tacoma Hilltop is a high crime area and has been for years and yet the police station right in the middle of it is unmanned and serves as an expensive and high tech rest station. I ,personally, have had to wait for help after a brutal beating, literally, 1 block from this station. We need officers present and ready to assist as well as to be a deterrent by their mere presence.246 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Mishele Dupree - FundRazr account
