It is UNAMERICAN to make non-essential people work on a holiday such as this. Let's send a clear message to corporate America that we will NOT TOLERATE THIS NONSENSE!

My petition is about Macys hiring Donald Trump.

The intersection of Packard Ave and Powderhouse Boulevard in Somerville has seen too many pedestrian injuries. On the night of November 8th, 2012, a Tufts student was hospitalized. Motorists routinely exceed the speed limit on Powderhouse because poor design makes them feel it's safe to do so. Let's show the City of Somerville and Tufts University that this matters to our community. Despite the traffic calming measures that have been put in place, as of November 19th, there is still more work to be done. NEW: What the intersection now needs is either a four-way stop or a Walk/Don't Walk signal that is activated by pedestrians seeking to cross Powderhouse. After the traffic calming measures that have been put in place, this is the next step. Possible construction is tentatively scheduled for spring of 2013. Safety around campus should be pressing, and a sense of urgency should be behind these decisions. Please work to make these changes swiftly.

Tell Congress to pass a law that, groups listed as hate groups should not be allowed a 501c3 charity status. Ministers like Scott Lively are spreading their message of "hate the Gays" throughout the world. Uganda is about to pass a bill that will put Gay men and Women to death.

Caffeine Free Coke Zero is only available in a few countries like France, Japan and the Neatherlands. It's about time it came to the USA and Canada. I, for one, love the product but the caffeine can be too much for me. Please Note: I have nothing to do with the Coca Cola Company. I am just a consumer who enjoys their product.

10 out of 10 pets in America want NO-KILL shelters that find them a home if they get lost but they don't have million dollar lobbyists in each statehouse and on Capitol Hill in DC greasing the wheels of democracy for them. If you think BO would be the perfect SPOKESDOG for homeless pets ... sign the PETition but don't stop there. Get everyone you know who has a pet to sign, too! Let's put BO to work making every animal shelter in the country NO-KILL before he leaves The White House. WE CAN DO IT!

Lane County is named after Joseph Lane, Vice-Presidential candidate for the pro-slavery South, the Confederacy, back in the mid-1800s. He and many of his like-spirited friends later moved to this area, many more racists migrated here during the Great Depression. Word is, many of their grandchildren are doing a good job of reversing that heritage. Would they support a renaming of Lane County? What a fine symbolic act that would be! Those most supportive of one’s courage to change are often equally willing. Please sign below:

The gridlock in Washington DC has been frustrating for all Americans. NOW is the time for Republican leaders in Congress to roll up their sleeves and work WITH President Obama to solve America's fiscal issues.

Recently the CEO of PPJ decided that the underpaid sometimes part time workers do not deserve the benefits of the Affordable Care Act. It is my contention that if this is his postion. Our positions should be his company does not deserve to have customers

Our country should be focusing on the many who are experiencing poverty, homelessness, hunger and devastation. Our elected officials speak often of caring for those who are most in need and this is a time in our lives to make a difference. The resources spent on the one day of the Presidential Inauguration should be used in ways to help those in dire need. Former adminstrations that have taken this action were Presidents Wilson and Harding; President Carter also streamlined the events. By cancelling these extravagant parties, and chanelling the resources to those in need would be a life-changing experience and this action would speak volumes to our children. This is a petition to call on Washington, D.C. to make a difference in the lives of many of our fellow citizens and cancel these parties.
