There are many children, even those with special needs, that live on these streets. We do not want these speed bumps removed that might endanger the lives of one of our children.

My name is Darrell Williams and my 11 year old nephew, Jeffrey L Williams was killed by Carbon Monoxide leak in a Best Western Plus, Boone, NC hotel on June 8th. In the same room where he was killed, two other adults lost their life to Carbon Monoxide two months prior, and still no CO detector. A Carbon Monoxide detector would have saved his life, and it would have cost the hotel about $40 to install. Please sign and forward this to everyone in your contact list

The Humane Society estimates a healthy pet loses its life about every 11 seconds. The after-hours holds by rescues that HCAS just cancelled allowed more pets' lives to be saved.

About wheels fun park not being a safe place for children. Yes my children were affected. And absolutely Nothing was done.

Connecticut became the first state to pass a bill that would require food manufacturers to label products that contain genetically modified ingredients. It's our turn now. We want to know what we are eating. GM products are unproven. We have a right to be informed.

This is a test petition created by Steven Biel.

Mayor Bloomberg’s daughter, Georgina, is bravely standing up to her anti-animal father in calling for an end to the abusive carriage horse industry. She needs to know we have her back.

The New York State Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) is investing $235.7 million to renovate the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge over the Hudson River. The problem? They’re sending this money to China instead of investing it here. The MTA is buying 15,000 tons of steel from Chinese-subsidized Anshan Iron and Steel Group and awarding fabrication work to the China Railway Shanhaiguan Bridge Group. Sound fishy? It is. Even though there is a “Buy American” clause, the MTA is trying to get around it by paying for this renovation with toll dollars instead of tax dollars. The MTA should be investing in American products and American workers, not sending money to China. Tell the MTA to reverse course and invest in our workforce.

There’s never been obstructionism quite like this before in Congress. Republicans are playing extreme politics and using every last trick in the book to deny President Obama a second term by blocking his executive branch, agency and judicial nominees. And so far Democrats are letting them get away with it -- playing by outdated, 20th century rules. The constitution says it loud and clear: The Senate by majority vote makes its own rules. And right now, we need REAL rules reform, not another watered down "deal" that lets Republicans continue to prevent government from functioning. Senate Majority Harry Reid says he's ready to move forward, but he needs the rest of the Senate Democrats to stand behind him. Sign the petition now to let Senate Democrats know that enough is enough - it's time to do whatever it takes to end the obstructionism.

The health dangers of genetically modified organisms are becoming more apparent with each new independent study done and many other countries around the globe already mandate labeling of genetically modified food, some countries have banned them and more join the list each week. Protect our right to decide what we eat by requiring a label on GMO crops in our state as well. Please support the two bills already proposed and bring them up for a hearing this next session! Los peligros de salud por los organismos modificados genéticamente son cada vez más evidentes con cada nuevo estudio independiente hecho y muchos otros países alrededor del mundo ya tienen un mandato para etiquetar comida genéticamente modificada, algunos países han prohibido y más se unirán a la lista cada semana. Proteger el derecho de decidir lo que comemos al exigir una etiqueta en los cultivos de OGM en nuestro estado también. ¡Por favor apoye las dos cartas ya propuestas y llevarlos a una audiencia esta próxima sesión!

As it becomes increasingly clear that GMOs are being used in a majority of food products in the grocery store it is time that consumers be allowed to make informed decisions about the food that is purchased. Tell Arizona to mandate that any product with a GMO ingredient is labeled as such.

North Carolina is sneakily attaching anti-abortion measures to bills that are completely unrelated. First the North Carolina Senate passed an extreme anti-choice bill that could shut down all but one abortion clinic in the state and would severely limit health care options for North Carolina women. Then the House tacked on abortion restrictions to a motorcycle safety bill (check out #MotorcycleVagina, currently trending on Twitter!). We urgently need your help to stop these bills from becoming law—and we have a real chance to win this together. During his 2012 gubernatorial campaign, North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory promised voters that he would not support any new restrictions on access to abortion. So let’s remind him of his promise to stand up for the women in his state. These sweeping pieces of legislation are a direct attack on the reproductive health options available to North Carolina women. Through his influence or veto, Governor McCrory could put a stop to these bills. That's why we need you to tell him to remember his promise to defend women’s health. Just yesterday, more than 60 protesters were arrested at the state capital in an act of civil disobedience to speak out against this extreme anti-abortion legislation. Stand with them by signing the petition now.
