• Support Fairness for Co-ops and Dorms: Unite Student Housing
    Students living in Northside are at risk of being kicked out of the student district. Despite currently in District 7, the Berkeley Student District Campaign map draws them out, leaving Northside students out of the new student district. The United Student District Amendment provides the best solution for creating an inclusive student district by uniting Northside and Southside. This includes a majority of dorms, Coops, and Greek housing, bringing the student age population of District 7 to 90.3%.

  • Landlord Tenant Reform
    It is not in the best interest of city or state government to support any legislation that allows for abusive property owners to escape penalties in cases where tenants experience fraud, abuse, negligence and are exposed to health hazards that can potentially cause irreversible health defects and or death. In cases where property owners are found to be unethical in their dealings and manipulate the law to inflict pain on unsuspecting low-income tenants, they should be penalized to the fullest extent of the law and relinquish the right to any monies owed as noted in the contract between property owner and tenant unless there is legitimate proof of damages to the property. Provisions should be made for families; especially those with underage children to relocate to a safer environment while addressing the concerns. Thorough investigations should be conducted beyond simple inspections.

  • Video Gaming in Cary
    Our local businesses need to be able to compete with the surrounding communities who all allow video gaming. Passing this act will provide much needed additional revenue to Cary businesses and the People/Village of Cary.

  • Rush Limbaugh: Please Leave Los Angeles
    Rush Limbaugh scares me broadcasting from Florida. I know it's Halloween, but Dude, it's okay if you are clear across the country. The idea that you might be my neighbor gives me the vapors.

  • Kankakee Valley Little Gridiron-Gridiron Joe Award
    The re-opening goes against what the award is about, which is leadership. It's not fair to the kids who applied on time. The parents can't say they didn't know about it, because I myself talked to the kids and they said they didn't want to write the essay. Me and my sister asked to have a meeting with them to explain how we felt and we haven't gotten a response on a meeting. Help us get our message to them. (Note: This petition is written by a 12 year old but sponsored by a legal adult 18 years or older) UPDATE 10/14/13: We got a message that we could have a meeting either tonight or tomorrow (10/15/13) night with only 2 of the members of the board. We are waiting until all 3 members of the board are present like we asked. It is important that all people that made the decision to reopen the deadline are there.

  • 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!
