I'm tired of my city being one of the highest killing shelters in the nation. They kill so many animals per month that even animals who have officially been adopted have been killed by mistake. They even prematurely kill animals whose time haven't expire. This nation, even city, has a chance to reverse this awful practice. Why kill healthy animals? Doesn't every living creature deserve life?

We have all been affected by the huge debt that the last (bush) administration left for the next administration to clean up. Well 2.3 trillion dollars of "lost" tax dollars would be a good start.

Chick-fil-A donates millions of dollars to anti-gay, anti-equality hate groups annually and CEO Dan Cathy has made it perfectly clear that he does not support marriage equality, so let's show Chick-fil-A that EQUALITY MATTERS at Tennessee State University by calling for the removal of Chick-fil-A from our campus!

My brother, Darin "Koncreet" McClintock, accidentally overdosed on Oxycontin at the age of 32. He was a successful business man and had been married for almost three years. Darin was prescribed Oxycontin because of a broken arm he sustained in a snowboarding accident. Oxycontin, in the same family as heroin and morphine, is a highly addictive opioid and is causing unnecessary and tragic deaths all over the country. Purdue Pharma LP is currently conducting a trial of Oxycontin on children aged 6-16 for moderate to severe pain, aiming to gain FDA approval to label the controversial painkiller for use by children as young as 6 and extend its patent on the drug, which is set to expire in 2013. Please join me in opposing FDA approval of Oxycontin for young children.

Anyone (including SuperPacs) stating false or misleading information in a television campaign advertisement, faces felony charges and prison time of not less than two years and a one million dollar mandatory fine.

A significant rise in the noise level from the increased numbers of helicopters and other aircraft during the last two weeks has become unbearable. Our quality of life and right to peaceful enjoyment is in jeopardy. East Hampton Airport has now ceded control to the FAA and by the End of August, the FAA plans to make the flight path over NOYAC, North Sea, Bridgehampton and Sag Harbor the only permanent helicopter/aircraft route to be used to and from Manhattan. The new proposed permanent route is for all helicopters to go North to South over Jessup’s Neck and the Morton Wildlife Preserve and over Noyac, North Sea, Bridgehampton and parts of Sag Harbor. The noise affects a wide swath of residential properties from here to the airport. Our property values will forever be negatively impacted by this noise and pollution.

Tax the wealthy, not middle class, lower class

It's about for people to stop bullying MattyB, an amazing 9 year old rapper who is just trying to make covers and live his life.

Maine prides itself in its independent spirit. As out-of-state groups increasingly exert their influence on local issues, we lose Maine voices. A most recent example is the election of Gov. LePage and marriage equality referendum. Please make your voice heard and sign this petition: Tell U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Americans for Prosperity, and other out-of-state, corporate-funded groups to stop trying to influence elections in Maine.

My petition is about the rise in bullying in school. Children are required to abide by guidelines/rules in schools, i.e. dresscode, no firearms/drugs, attend class regulary, be on time to class etc. Instead of schools just declaring their school a no bully zone, have each child in elementary, middle, and high school sign a promissory note not to bully. With consequences to follow if they do. i.e. verbal warning, suspension, expulsion, depending on the damage/harm caused. This record will stay in their files until they graduate. If they change schools, the establishment will know their past history. It should be signed during school registration, each year. With no statute of limitation.

I live in a rural area that only gets AT&T service and I can not switch because no one else gets native service here. The government needs to create a neutral wireless network. This would give regional and rural wireless carriers the ability to compete more effectively on coverage. Putting more pressure on the national carriers and give people in rural areas more options than just AT&T or Verizon.

Discrimination against gay people. My brother was gay and committed suicide.
