MCPS Administration PetitionDr. Alexander Apostle has recently been offered and accepted a 13% pay raise, causing his salary to be increased to $200,000. As students who have been attending schools within the MCPS boundaries, we believe that Dr. Alexander Apostle does not deserve and should reject the raise. We need to see immediate change within the Missoula School Board and Toni Rehbein's actions concerning the Education Budget. If this does not happen, we ask the Missoula community to see it through that Toni Rehbein does not become reelected to the school board, in May. This includes all members of the School Board not serving in the best interest of the students of Missoula.2,008 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Yetta Stein

Allow January Admits and Transfer Students to Pledge at Hamilton CollegeIt has recently come to our attention that the administration has rescinded the ability for January admits and transfers to pledge in their first semester at Hamilton College. January admits and transfers not only make up a large percentage of Hamilton's Greek Life, but are valued members of our societies. Please sign this petition if you are in favor of reversing the administration's policy change and believe January admits and transfers should have the right to pledge a fraternity or sorority with their classmates. The policy: "IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT JANUARY ADMITS: Keeping in line with our policy for other new students, pledging for new students entering in January (including transfers) cannot take place during their first semester. Yes, this is a change that now makes our policy consistent for all first-year students. Yes, because we have spring pledging it means that new Jans and Transfers will need to wait until their sophomore year (or third semester) to pledge. I hope you'll all agree that getting these students acclimated to their new curriculum and community is most important, and we should give them the appropriate amount of time to do that."333 of 400 SignaturesCreated by McKenzie R.

Save Our SEATSJohnson County Seats has been providing paratransit services for the elderly and people with disabilities since the mid-1970's. SEATS has been my main means of transportation for 17 years. Currently they are providing close to 500 rides a day and the demand is growing. Iowa City and the Johnson County Board of Supervisors are threatening to dismantle SEATS. Hundreds of people with disabilities, as well as their families, friends, and support systems, would be negatively impacted by this financially and politically driven decision.1,467 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Casey Hayse

Take steps to curb excess violence in entertainment and mediaViolent content in our entertainment industry has escalated over the years and by anyone's standards, is a contributing factor in the desensitization of society to brutality, bloodshed, and horror. Through video games, TV, films, and more, people have become immune to the devastating effects of real-life violence toward others. Isn't this how some cultures have dehumanized their enemies in the past? The effects are real and should be examined.46 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Becky Phillips

Save our Children, Not our Assault RiflesReducing the number of assault rifles/guns in Colorado. And making it extremely difficult to purchase such weapons of mass destruction of human life, most often young human life. We must greatly stiffen the the punishment for such horrendous crimes when they do occur and not continue to allow simple pleas of "not guilty by reason of insanity" such that the person is back out on the street as soon as they can convince a psychiatrist they have "recovered". Yes we need much better mental health screening AND treatment, but in the meantime, it is time for this country to get tough on ASSAULT GUNS, which you don't need to be a good hunter!2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Elizabeth A.

Ban Horse Slaughter for human consumption in USAHorses are a beautiful part of US history. They pulled our plows, carried our soldiers to battle, thrilled us with amazing feats of strength and agility. These magnificent animals deserve better than to be hauled on trailer trucks to be slaughtered in horrendous inhumane ways. We need support for the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Renee Cataneo

Fire Tony RomoMr. Jones, On behalf of Cowboy fans around the world, we would like for you to seriously consider the indefinite termination of Tony Romo as a quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. Though Tony Romo is a great quaterback at times, he continues to be a liability to the Cowboys when it comes to making the playoffs, and even more so when it comes to winning in the playoffs. The Cowboys have had great receiving corps throughout Tony Romo's career with the Dallas Cowboys. It's time to find a quarterback who wants to throw them touchdown passes, rather than the defenders that he seems to find more often than not. His unreliability has let his teammates down, as well as Dallas Cowboy fans. We (The Cowboys Fans) pay your $100 parking fees to come watch America's team play great football, not to watch Tony Romo blow games.49 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cowboys Fan
