• Native American Remembrance as a National Holiday
    Because our history can only be righted by our present actions. Native Americans are the indigenous people who truly deserve to be remembered for being the reverent gate keepers and martyrs of and for our country. We, as individual American citizens and as it's present day communal land keepers need to acknowledge and remember those ancestors that showed us how to truly honor the land and live in harmony with all life. This will send an important and necessary message to present and future generations.

  • Multi-Car Train Station Permits
    This is a meaningful quality of life issue, and the restrictive nature of this new policy suggests that Township officials lack understanding of what residents need. In order to make our officials better understand our needs, this petition will inform them that many residents do not agree with the new train station permit policy and would like it to be modified.

  • RESTORE THE NEW WINDSOR, NEW YORK DIAL-A-BUS PROGRAM
    We, including Strat Vlachos, Diane Turner and Bonnie Brennan, are New Windsor Residents who are deeply concerned by the cancellation of the New Windsor, New York, Dial-A-Bus program. Our most vulnerable citizens, Seniors and the Disabled, lost their independence, access to social outlets and the freedom essential to human dignity. They are no longer able to attend to basic needs like bringing in groceries and visiting doctors without the intervention of neighbors, friends and family. As a result, they are made to feel as if they are burdens to their loved ones. This is demeaning to them and wrong for our Town. Please join us in our effort to bring Dial-A-Bus back by signing this Petition and sending it on to others, who, like you, care about our Town's most vulnerable residents. Thank you.

  • Sonic Steak Finger Basket
    I was always a huge fan of the Sonic steak finger baskets, but it has been gone for a very long time. Dairy Queen's suffice but they are not always around. But Sonic is all around. All the time they put stuff on the menu either for the season or temporarily to test the market, I assume. So, I'm sure they could do the same with the steak finger basket. I've called the suggestion line a bunch but I guess it hasn't done the job. So help me petition Sonic to bring back the steak finger basket!

  • President Obama: Keep the Right Whale Alive
    President Barack Obama: The people of Coastal Georgia call on you to join us in protecting the North American Right Whale from extinction at the hands of the U.S. Navy, currently building a submarine warfare training range in the nursery of the most critically endangered of the large whales. Sonar from surface ships and Seahawk helicopters, underwater explosives, and phosphorus canisters used in routine training exercises constitute an almost casual killing of our fellow creatures who have been here 50 million years. The massive whale and dolphin kills predicted by the Navy itself---thousands dead and five million deafened---all are as unnecessary as they are cruel. This inhumane slaughter must stop. In your own words, Mr. President, we are better than that. Besides, only by using modern satellite technology, smart buoys, underwater drones, satellites, and simulation techniques to train personnel can we can maintain our place as the best Navy in the world. Twenty-year-old sonar technology is useless against newer, smaller subs coated with sonar-repelling paint. By converting to modern technology, we can reduce the toll on marine life without compromising national security. Mr. President, we beg you to use your powers as Commander in Chief to stop the certain extinction of the North Atlantic Right Whale.

  • Tell Sen. Mark Pryor (D-AR) To Vote Yes to Protect LGBT Americans from Workplace Discrimination
    After the shutdown, the U.S. Senate will take a vote on the LGBT Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) for the first time in 17 years, and this commonsense proposal already has 55 Senate supporters and counting. ENDA simply says a corporation can’t fire you just because of who you are or who you love. But Senator Mark Pryor of Arkansas is still waffling. He’s 1 of only 3 hold-out Democrats who has not made up his mind. We think 100% of Democrats should support basic fairness for LGBT Americans. Arkansans understand that Americans should be judged on the job based on their skills and hard work, rather than their sexual orientation or gender identity. In a new study released this September, 61 percent of Arkansans support a federal law protecting LGBT Americans from workplace harassment and discrimination. Nationwide, so do more than 81 percent of Democratic voters, a majority of Republican voters, 61 percent of senior citizens, and 72 percent of Latinos. Wal-Mart, the state’s largest employer, has protected gay and lesbian workers from discrimination for nearly 10 years, and they adopted workplace protections for transgender employees two years ago. The company also recently added domestic partner benefits for gay and lesbian couples. If Wal-Mart can finally take steps to make the workplace more fair for LGBT employees, so should the Democratic Senator from Arkansas. Sen. Pryor - You should follow the lead of top business leaders in Arkansas and throughout America who have decided to protect their LGBT employees from workplace harassment because it’s the right thing to do, and also the best thing for business. There’s no reason for any Senator to keep stalling on workplace fairness. Now is time to announce your support and publicly pledge to vote Yes for the LGBT Employment Non-Discrimination Act.

    The U.S. Senate will soon take a vote on the LGBT Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) for the first time in 17 years, and this commonsense proposal already has 58 Senate supporters and counting. ENDA simply says a corporation can’t fire you just because of who you are or who you love. But West Virginia’s Senator Joe Manchin is still waffling. He’s the last remaining hold-out Democrat who has not made up his mind. We think 100% of Democrats should support basic fairness for LGBT Americans. West Virginians understand that Americans should be judged on the job based on their skills and hard work, rather than their sexual orientation or gender identity. In a new poll released this fall, more than 60 percent of West Virginians support a federal law to protect LGBT Americans from workplace harassment and discrimination. Nationwide, so do more than 81 percent of Democratic voters, a majority of Republican voters, and 61 percent of senior citizens. Sen. Manchin - You are a recognized leader in the Senate, and the Democratic Party of West Virginia platform says that the Party should be leading the fight against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. There’s no reason to keep stalling on workplace fairness. Now is time to announce your support and publicly pledge to vote Yes for the LGBT Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
