  • 49ers, take out "San Francisco" from the team name
    Santa Clara is not only the new location of the 49ers stadium, it's also home to the 49ers headquarters. Santa Clara is roughly 44 miles from San Francisco. I started this petition because as a Santa Clara resident, I feel it's a slap in the face the 49ers would remain the San Francisco 49ers once the move to Santa Clara is complete. Why not name the team the Santa Clara 49ers, Bay Area 49ers, California 49ers, etc. After all, if the 49ers organization wanted to keep the San Francisco 49ers name intact, they should have stayed in the San Francisco area.

  • David Foster Wallace Literary Trust: Please let the world see "This Is Water"!
    The short film "This Is Water," adapted from David Foster Wallace's 2005 commencement speech at Kenyon College, was a beautiful, moving, even life-changing illumination of a profound piece of writing. And it has personal meaning to me: an excerpt from that speech was read at my friend Aaron Swartz's memorial service. The video, and the speech it draws upon, articulated a way of looking at the world—fully present, generous with imaginative empathy—that I aspire to live by. But an hour and a half ago, the video was removed from YouTube and Vimeo because of an alleged copyright infringement, at the request of the David Foster Wallace Literary Trust. This video has already inspired millions of people. And in the decades to come, it could—should—inspire millions more. It's a video I've imagined showing to my own son, now a baby, once he's old enough to understand it. There is no public interest served in removing it from the Internet. I can't even think of an interest that this could serve for the DFW Literary Trust: the video is making more people aware of his work, drawing people to his legacy. And at a personal level, there's a particular irony for me. Aaron fought against the abuse of copyright law. He and Larry Lessig argued that everyone benefits when pieces of culture can be remixed into new works of art—this video; Aaron's own eulogy. Now, one of those works of art has been removed from public view, based on the very laws Aaron sought to change. Please sign on this petition and help spread the word. We can hope that the DFW Literary Trust will change its mind. If it doesn't, let's change the law.

  • Gang Violence as Domestic Terrorism
    Have we reached the limit yet in seeing our cities overtaken by gun toting thugs? How many more 'drive-by" shootings and inner city gun battles are we willing to put up with?

  • Demand that MIcrosoft not block xbox live games
    My petition is to demand that Microsoft include current Xbox live games that we the Xbox live consumers have paid for Exp: If you have purchased "Castle Crashers" you should have a right to bring this game with your account to Xbox one. We do not just pay 60$ membership to just connect to the internet and a gamer tag but for access to these digital games they offer us and to keep them. Please get sign my petition if you believe that you should be able to keep what you paid for.

  • This is a custom petition
    This is a custom petition, and I want to see if it's always marked as "suspicious," or something. Because that's what seems to have been happening.

  • Change Flickr Back!
    Recently Flickr did a remodel of the site and it was VERY poorly done. I am hoping to get at least 10,000 signatures to turn into Marissa Mayer. Please share this with all your friends! We need this to go viral.

  • HUMAN Healthy Vending Machines in Allen High School
    We are proposing that Allen High School remove the junk food machines from campus and replace them with HUMAN Healthy Vending Machines. Having healthy vending machines on campus would provide nutritious healthy snack options vs. junk food for the staff and students. It also will help the school make more money to better fund student programs and staff support. HUMAN also donates 10% of profits to charities that fight the causes of childhood obesity – a rapidly growing national epidemic that negatively affects kids’ learning, health and (unfortunately) self-esteems.

  • Say No to the Republican "Fix" for Student Loan Interest Rates
    The Smarter Solutions for Students Act (HR 1911) is a Republican plan that is the classic bait and switch. Worse yet, it could be voted on as soon as Wednesday, May 22. According to estimates provided by Congressional Budget Office, under the proposal, federal student interest rates will be higher than current fixed rates for millions of borrowers seven of the next ten years. The bill will make attending college more expensive for students and families, and deepen the student debt crisis. We must act now to make sure our members of Congress oppose this bill!

  • Stop the Bristol's House of Harmony - Honky Tonk
    This facility is located in the center of a residential neighborhood, and the additional traffic late at night by people that have been drinking is a detriment to our neighborhood and community. This facility, calling itself a "music venue" is simply a night club/honky tonk featuring live local bands and the service of alcohol and brown bagging of alcohol. This type of facility is not conducive to a residential area. There are additional environmental quality issues with the interior of the building that need to be addressed.
