• Families Destroyed by Hurricane Katrina
    This petition is to make people know how our courts have been and continue to be bought and sold by the wealthy when our judges and shady court practices side immediately with who has the most money without even doing background checks on them. I and many parents like me have been called a "flight risk" because I evacuated from Hurricane Katrina, a dangerous Category 5 hurricane. We had our children immediately stripped from us and given to the other parent who did NOT have even primary custody of the child(ren). These court cases were rushed through during times when the city was not fully up running and there was still martial law and price-gouging on rentals so people could not afford to come back and live. These victimized parents have ZERO rights to the children they once raised and cared for lovingly everyday. I want to push these crooks to overturn all these oportunistic judgements and let children be with their parents. New Orleans courts need to be investigated and held accountable for their actions regarding the evacuation loophole. Many children were taken away to live in other states by their parent who abused this system but evacuation is a "flight risk"? I think not.

  • Petition for the Safety of the Children
    The School Board of the City of Alexandria wants to replace our Jefferson-Houston Elementary School - pre-k to 8 with a new building. With that, they plan to open a parking lot that dead ends into our playground and basketball court. They will move both amenities and wrap the new drop off around the current Olde Towne Swimming pool, which will make all pedestrians that use the pool or the playground or basketball at risk from moving vehicular traffic.

  • Fix Deadly & Wasteful 128/95 & 93 Highway Interchange
    The 128/95 & 93 highway Interchange needs an update. Navigating the interchange is dangerous and wasteful. Daily backups waste fuel and motorists time. This impacts the local environment far more than any new construction. Level of Service is an "F" grade, we need to fix it.

  • Tennis Courts: Access and Common Area Rules Change
    The current Common Area Rule (Revised March 2012) for the use of The Met tennis courts requires owners to gain access to the courts by either (1) going to the HOA office during business hours or (2) the security desk at the main entrance on Canoga Avenue as a result of the HOA decision to install locks on all of the courts. The courts were previously unlocked and available to all owners during available hours as a paid amenity (HOA fee).

  • Overdue Vehicle Registeration Amnesty Program
    I would like to start a petition to encourage individuals to register any vehicle for a flat fee, maximum amount of $ 500.00 per vehicle with overdue registration of 2 years or more. It would give an incentive to individuals to bring current any past due or expired registeration. This can be done by offering amnestiy as a one time opportunity to register a vehicle that was too far behind and nearly impossible to abide by the vehicle registration laws. The procedes will provide a windfall for California and the education system without raising a single tax, in fact just the opposite effect as lowering taxes and business operating expenses. Once a party brings current an expired Registeration, it is highly likely that they will pay all future Registeration fees before they spiral out of sight again. So in short it guarantees future revenues for the State of California as well. Someone please help me get this idea to to desk of Governor Jerry Brown and fellow democrat.

  • BAN LETHAL/LEG IRON TRAPS & SNARES & PUT WOLVES BACK ON THE ENDANGERED SPECIES LIST PERMANENTLY
    Lethal leg iron traps & snares are barbaric, brutal,inhumane, sadistic. They are the precursors to personnel land mines. Unintended targets get tortured to death. Any child of God caught in one suffers in excrutiating pain for days, losing blood, hungry and dehydrating, and in fear/helpless. Folks in Idaho took pot shots at a beautiful wolf that had been caught in a trap for days for FUN....There is NO PLACE in civilized society for these! You can judge a country by the way in which it treats its animals - Ghandi.

  • Stop fox penning
    Fox penning takes trapped foxes, which are then released in an enclosed area and allows packs of hounds to chase them and rip them apart. This is considered a "family sport." It is legal in VA and some other states. Efforts to regulate it or stop it in VA have been unsuccessful thus far. This sport is inhumane to animals and de-sensitizes children to cruelty and violence, much like dog fighting.

  • I Want a Healthy Energy Supplement Choice Available on Campus!
    With so many options within the realm of Energy products, wouldn't it make sense for the college campus stores to provide choices, which were actually healthy for their students? Instead of the high caffeine and sugar laden drinks which are currently available, there are healthy, energy-boosting, vitamin supplements which utilize antioxidants and amino acids to boost energy, enhance brain alertness, and improve immune health. Healthy energy products are the best long-term study aids available! Please ask UC Berkeley Cal Dining to make healthier energy supplement choices available.

  • Boating on the Sprain Lake, Westchester County, NY
    The Sprain Lake in Westchester County, NY is a perfect and very safe place for boating. I was involved in a rowing accident on the Harlem River 6 years ago that killed a friend of mine. I have the backing of Yonkers and the Town of Greenburgh, but have not been able to get Westchester County to allow it. No funds are being requested, only access.
