Respect the Stop SignEvery day while driving home from work along the same route in Newark, NJ and I watch drivers go thru the stop sign as if it doesn't exist. It only gets noticed if a cop is present which is rare. There are too many children, parents, expecting mothers, elderly folks that walk around and have yeild to drivers who run the stop sign and drive above the speed limit. I'm calling an end to this and I want us to take more responsibility and remember that driving is a privilege NOT a right. Please lets save lives, not end them.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Emily Aikens

Changes at Sumter County-City Animal ControlThe dogs picked up by AC are living, breathing souls; God’s creations. We must end the killing of healthy dogs that, by no fault of their own, have ended up at AC. We must improve the facility and we must stop wasting our tax dollars by putting a band-aid on the dog overpopulation problem in Sumter. We need to fix the problem. We cannot kill our way to fewer unwanted animals! We must speak up; we are their voice! Your signature is your voice! Please support efforts to save the lives of these deserving dogs and demand that they are treated humanely with compassion and decency.405 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Jesse Brown

Eliminate Educational Debt of Disabled - Service Connected VeteransService Connected Disabled Veterans receive a small pension for their sacrifice to our nation, but many did not fall under the guidelines of the GI Bill, and went to school to further their and their families lives. Now they are burdened with educational debt that they are unable to pay, and where the interest rates make paying this debt impossible, affecting there credit for their lifetime and where this debt should be forgiven, due to their sacrifices.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rocky Manos

Mayor Jackson: Don't Restrict Southbound Brewing Co.'s Business PracticesNOTE: The proposed City Council restriction on the educational tours and tastings ordinance (which is already Georgia State Law) would prevent all Savannah breweries from hosting private events (including future breweries for Coastal Empire Brewing Co and Service Brewing Co.). Southbound Brewing Company is a new brewery in Savannah, Georgia, and the city is voting on an ordinance on August 22, 2013 that would restrict their business practices, such as private events and possibly educational tours of the brewery. However, Georgia State Law allows for all Georgia breweries to conduct tours and have private events. Why should Southbound Brewing Co.'s business practices be hindered? It's unfair and would make Savannah an unfavorable place for other potential breweries to open. Breweries are job producers and good for the growing artisan and “support local” movements. Also, breweries are statistically shown to be charitable. Southbound for example donates their spent grain to the Bethesda Boys Academy, and 100% of production breweries give to charity organizations and participate in fundraising events for charities. 47% of our production breweries report that they regularly volunteer and in Georgia alone craft breweries reportedly donated $172,000 to charity organizations in 2012. I am a craft beer lover, small business advocate and want to see Savannah thrive and believe having a stronger craft beer scene will help our local economy and culture.

Say "NO" to the I-95 Confederate FlagThese rebel flags, which are being erected along our highways, by the Virginia Flaggers, represent division and serve only to terrorize those who have to view these flags on a daily basis. This symbol has only one place ~ in a museum. One only has to read the Cornerstone Speech of the Confederacy to be reminded of the hate that accompanies this symbol: "Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner- stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth. This truth has been slow in the process of its development, like all other truths in the various departments of science. It has been so even amongst us. Many who hear me, perhaps, can recollect well, that this truth was not generally admitted, even within their day. The errors of the past generation still clung to many as late as twenty years ago. Those at the North, who still cling to these errors, with a zeal above knowledge, we justly denominate fanatics. All fanaticism springs from an aberration of the mind from a defect in reasoning. It is a species of insanity. One of the most striking characteristics of insanity, in many instances, is forming correct conclusions from fancied or erroneous premises; so with the anti-slavery fanatics. Their conclusions are right if their premises were. They assume that the negro is equal, and hence conclude that he is entitled to equal privileges and rights with the white man. If their premises were correct, their conclusions would be logical and just but their premise being wrong, their whole argument fails. I recollect once of having heard a gentleman from one of the northern States, of great power and ability, announce in the House of Representatives, with imposing effect, that we of the South would be compelled, ultimately, to yield upon this subject of slavery, that it was as impossible to war successfully against a principle in politics, as it was in physics or mechanics. That the principle would ultimately prevail. That we, in maintaining slavery as it exists with us, were warring against a principle, a principle founded in nature, the principle of the equality of men. The reply I made to him was, that upon his own grounds, we should, ultimately, succeed, and that he and his associates, in this crusade against our institutions, would ultimately fail. The truth announced, that it was as impossible to war successfully against a principle in politics as it was in physics and mechanics, I admitted; but told him that it was he, and those acting with him, who were warring against a principle. They were attempting to make things equal which the Creator had made unequal."25,167 of 30,000 SignaturesCreated by Schroeder Konaté
