I remember when the I-35 bridge in Minnesota collapsed, killing 13 people. Minnesota is my state of origin, and I had driven over this bridge a number of times. Our country used to be #1 in infrastructure - no longer. If we put our federal dollars toward new infrastructure, it will prevent future tragedies, and also create many new jobs.

This petition is about starting the process of building and upgrading our infrastructure here in America. We presently have bridges, railroads, electrical grid systems and other structures in need of improvement or rebuilding. The process of building the much needed infrastructure will also create thousands of jobs for Americans, which are sorely needed.

I'm doing this to raise awareness that our government is NOT going to send the money promised to FIX THE VA. The 10 billion dollars will not go to the Veteran's but will be used for other areas. Remember, VETERANS DIED BECAUSE OF LACK FUNDS TO ADD STAFFING OR THE CHOICE TO SEE A PROVIDER CLOSER TO THEM. The whole 10 billion dollars should go, (AS PROMISED) to the veterans. Please just take 60 SECONDS to help me, veterans and for those who are currently serving.

It is outrageous that hard working people like James Robertson must walk 21 miles a day just to get to work! Southeast Michigan transit has failed Mr. Robertson AND thousands of others who struggle every day struggle just to get around. This is a crisis that has continued for far too long! It is time for our region's leaders to solve it!

To celebrate and rekindle the relations between multicultures. Also, to give residents of west Jax a state of the art skate park.

This is a basic fundamental issue of crumbling roads and bridges and other forms of what is called infrastructure.

The Progressive Change Institute asked voters whether they support a massive infrastructure program that would create millions of jobs. It was popular by 71% to 18% -- a bipartisan landslide. The public wants big action! Now, Senator Bernie Sanders is proposing a huge, $1 trillion infrastructure program -- which would create jobs repairing crumbling bridges and roads, expanding high-speed Internet, and increasing access to clean energy. America is way behind the rest of the developed world. Let's get started, America.

The Child Care Assistance Program budget for the current fiscal year is underfunded by almost $300 million. For the program to function at its current level, Illinois needs to identify revenue necessary to pass a supplemental budget to fully fund CCAP through the end of this fiscal year.

On February 26 FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler is calling a vote that will implement regulations that will reclassify all Internet Service Providers (ISPs) as public utilities. This may seem reasonable. However, it will essentially shut down most small ISPs serving rural areas. We don't have the resources to comply with the Title II reporting requirements. If that doesn't bother you, this might: The Universal Service Fund (renamed the Connect America Fund) is a tax that will apply to every Internet access customer in the land. It is currently 16.8% If the regulation is allowed to go into effect, your $40 Internet bill will go to $46.72. This money will be taken from all Internet users and selectively given (free of charge) to selected ISPs who will use it to build our their networks and replace your small, local ISP that they will have essentially driven out of business. Once Comcast, Verizon, AT&T and a few other big players have taken over, they will be free to increase Internet access charges-- they will have no competition. When you use up your monthly allotment of 10 Gigabytes of data (About 2 Netflix movies), and they start charging you for going over your data allotment, your bill won't be $200 for this "abuse" it will have the CAF tax applied so that you will be paying $233.60! The Internet has grown to its current usefulness through an approach of little government regulation as a Title I Information service. Please sign this petition and prevent this outrageous power grab.

The proposed Illiana expressway would run from Indiana to Illinois, south of Chicago, cutting through farmland and threatening the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie. The Iliana is projected to cost anywhere between $1.3 to $2.8 billion, and Illinois taxpayers would be on the hook for anywhere between $690 million to $1.35 billion of the costs. Driving has been declining in Illinois over the last decade, including in the region the Illiana would serve yet the Illiana planners justify the project with predictions that driving will steadily increase every year for the next thirty years. That's why Illinois PIRG highlighted the expressway as one of 11 highway boondoggles across the country. Governor Rauner has not taken a position on the Illiana but his transition team recommend he "pause and review" all major infrastructure projects. It also recommended prioritizing maintaining our current infrastructure over major expansions. Tell Governor Rauner to put the brakes on the Illiana boondoggle.

On the first day of the new Congress, Republicans quietly introduced a rules change that would force Social Security into a manufactured crisis. The new rule puts a new restriction on the routine transfer of funds between the Social Security trust fund and the Social Security disability program, an action so normal that Congress has approved it 11 times. Unless Congress approves new revenues (which they won't), disabled Americans or seniors will see huge benefit cuts as soon as 2016. The Republican Congress might want to spend their times playing games with our retirement. But as long as you are in the White House, President Obama, you have the power to veto bills that cut Social Security retirement benefits or disability insurance.
