• Stop a Busway That Will Cripple Rail Service
    Faster, affordable, convenient rail service is within our reach in the Northeast. The Amtrak rail line from New Haven to Hartford, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Canada is being improved for high speed commuter rail and faster intercity trains. But in Connecticut, an insanely stupid busway project, the New Britain-Hartford Busway, is being built on the rail line, paving over the rail right of way that is needed for better rail service. The busway will cripple this improved rail service. Two transportation projects costing hundreds of millions of dollars -- and one of them harms the other. The busway MUST be stopped.

  • Reduce Speed Limit to 25mph on N. Ellis St. in Salisbury, NC
    City Council is urged to reduce N. Ellis Street's speed limit from 35mph to 25mph from W. Cemetery Street to Lake Drive. Lowering the speed limit would make it the same as that on the remainder of the street stretching south from Shober Bridge to Salisbury High School. Neighbors are concerned for the safety of children who regularly play in and around the street and also desire to reduce speeding in general throughout our neighborhood.

  • No giving, no getting
    We have seen many people are take the advantage from the US social security system. Too many people who or whose spouse never paid a single penny to the social security, but they are get big chuck of social security, plus food stamps, plus medicare, plus housing. No wonder our social security is broken. Social security and other benefits should be only paid to those who or whose spouse has contributed to this society.

  • Legislation for traumatic homeless veterans and children
    People should be concerned about the issue of homeless veterans and children. We need our legislators to amend H.R. 1560, Public Safety Second Amend Rights Protection act of 2013. Example: My father served in Korea and Vietnam War. My mother was pregnant during that time, and inheritance rights were denied, even though I was his only child and he was inducted and died while on active duty. Today, deceased veterans' children cannot qualify for VA housing eligibility. Our legislators still have not served this underserved population in spite of our trauma and the need for housing and care deserved. There are too many homeless veterans and children, many still in developmental stages. Death of a family member is traumatic, and vulnerable people need protection.

  • I Support Medicaid Expansion For Texas!
    Lt. Governor David Dewhurst recently declared that in his opinion expanding Medicaid is "off the table." That is unacceptable. Expanding Medicaid would help over 1 million Texans gain insurance, allow hospital districts and counties to experience new financial and social benefits, and bring billions of dollars into Texas communities. Texas researchers projected that expanding Medicaid would be an economic windfall for our state, bringing 6 billion dollars into Texas between 2014 and 2017. This is enough money to pay for nearly 90,000 nurses or more than 33,200 family doctors, serving as a huge economic stimulus for our state. Texans must come together to declare their support of Medicaid expansion—an opportunity to cover all of our state’s uninsured citizens who earn up to 138% of the federal poverty level. Tell your Texas legislator right now that Texas and its residents need this solution and call on their public support to expand Medicaid today.

  • How YOUR Tax Dollars are Being Used to Victimize a Struggling Single Parent
    This story is very REAL. It is based on FACTS. The story is about how YOUR tax dollars are being used to victimize and harass a single struggling parent. This petition was started because repeated requests to HUD to relocate the family have been ignored coupled with the landlord's refusal to stop victimizing the family.

  • Address the Root Causes of School Shootings
    The recent school shootings have caused many to call for increased gun regulations, but attacking the weapon used in these tragedies will not address the root causes driving children to pick up a gun in the first place. Instead of using these incidents as a crutch for gun control, we need to focus on providing resources to address the actual psychological problems affecting our children.

  • Health Care is a Human Right
    Only a Single Payer system such as enhanced Medicare for All will control health care costs and provide quality health care for everybody. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was influenced by the private insurance companies. The ACA still allows uninsured, under-insured, deductibles, co-pays and out-of-pocket costs that can lead to bankruptcies, and inadequate coverage.

  • Uses of the Silver Lake Reservoir Complex - Watershed, natural habitat, fish/bird/wildlife sanc...
    Los Angeles faces a severe deficit of public park space and natural habitats - that is space and place for nature to unfold, and for people to take in the sun and moon, and for children to play. We also face a health crises of obesity and stress, much of which can be traced to lack of time in nature & access to parks. In the next few years the Silver Lake Reservoir will go off line and be turned from the DWP's control to the city. This is the moment when Silver Lake will need a refined, overarching, publicly vetted plan for how to receive and interpret the reservoir space. There are old plans which were worked out many years ago about which very few know anything at all. These plans may not include Watershed, natural habitats, fish/bird/wildlife sanctuary, swimming, sailing or hiking. Without a modern, publicly vetted plan in place, we risk a least common denominator solution like sale for development, or continued closure to the public.
