In light of the recent tragedy in Connecticut, the safety of our children in schools should be a top priority. School security must be reevaluated. This petition advocates that the Orange School District consider and implement additional security measures to protect our children, including the fortification and/or re-design of entryways, improvement of emergency response systems, and the hiring of additional security personnel.

Facebook has become a cultural norm for teenagers. Kids spend all of their free time on the computer instead of developing personal relationships, or other creative healthy pastimes; and it creates a footprint that could be damaging to them in the future in ways they cannot possibly understand (because we don;t know how all that info is even being used right now..).

Just a test to see what this is all about

Time is running out in the Illinois House to pass a common sense bill that would allow 250,000 immigrants to apply for driver's licenses. SB 957 has already been passed by the Senate, and Governor Quinn has said he'll sign it. But the legislature adjourns tomorrow, which means the House must pass the bill RIGHT NOW. The bill allows Illinois immigrants to apply for driver's licenses--which will allow them to get to work, go to the doctor's office, and take care of their families, without the fear of deportation. And it requires that ALL Illinois motorists be tested, registered, licensed, and insured--making Illinois roads safer for all drivers. Time is running out. Help turn this bill into law by using this form to tell Illinois lawmakers to pass the immigrant driver's license bill today.

President Obama has nominated former Senator Chuck Hagel for Secretary of Defense. As Secretary of Defense, Hagel will work to end the war in Afghanistan, cut the Pentagon budget, and prevent war with Iran. Cutting the Pentagon and foreign wars will free money for domestic needs, like preventing cuts to Social Security and Medicare benefits. Right-wing pro-war groups are working to block the Hagel nomination. Urge your Senators to speak up for and vote to confirm President Obama's nominee, Chuck Hagel.

I am Captain Jim Horton, an enlisted man who rose to be a decorated officer as a result of my multiple tours in Vietnam. We need the Honorable Raul Grijalva to be the next U.S. Secretary of the Interior. Why? Because Congressman Grijlava (D-AZ) and I share a common vision of the "big wild." I am from Sierra Vista, Arizona, and am a conservationist, an avid bird watcher, and someone who supports the outdoors for all Americans. The Secretary of the Interior is the most important job in America for protecting wildlife, public lands and natural values. Please join me and the over 250 conservation, recreation and citizen groups who support this nomination!

Oregon and New Jersey are the only 2 states that do not allow the motor vehicle consumer to pump their own gasoline. These laws forbidding self-service gasoline are outdated and not sound. There is no constitutional basis to restrict the self servicing of one's gasoline tanks. Repeal these restrictions on Pumping Your Own Gasoline.

The only reason this school has a no-hat policy is because of gangster hats, distracting hats, and people playing with their hats. With a slightly altered dress code for head wear, all hats but gangster and distracting hats would be allowed. I'm not the only person rooting for the "go hats" side.

Skaist & Taylor sell fur products that are made from the skins of animals like dogs, cats, rabbits and foxes. They are raised in deplorable conditions on "fur farms" in China and are often skinned alive for their fur. Despite being aware of these facts and receiving numerous requests from consumers, S & T continues their barbaric practices. We need to send Target a message that we will not shop there until they drop Skaist & Taylor from their clothing dept.

We the citizens of The United States demand these laws be ratified for the equality of all citizens and their representatives. For a healthier and sound Government Congressional Reform Act 1. No Tenure / No Pension.for a Congressman/woman Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. 2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose. 3. Congress must earn their own retirement in the private sector, just as all Americans do. 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 5. Congressmen lose their current health care once they leave office and participates in the same health care system as the American people. 6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 12/1/13. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. 8. pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.
