• Fighting For Our Community!
    We, as the people who have all in some way been affected by the past storm Matthew, know that we have yet to recover. We are all from the Columbus County area in some way, shape, or form. We know that currently the Town of Fair Bluff, NC has been devastated by the flood and has left what little the town has to ruins. Our youth (our future) has been left with nothing to be a part of....just something positive for them to be a part of so that their minds can focus on growing instead of mischief. We are a Non-Profit Organization designed to bring families together in the most peaceful way... LOVE. We currently have two youth basketball teams and a youth Kickball Team, which we have already started a kickball league in the area. Our main goal is to bring back the smiles and joy that you get when surrounded by family and loved ones. We always guarantee to provide a safe environment at all of our events, and this being our third year we have yet to have any incidents. We are currently fighting to be able to gain access to the basketball gym in Fair Bluff, NC, and right now it's not looking good. As you know, we have already had two SUCCESSFUL basketball tournaments there in the past two months. I am afraid that the Board Of Education is now trying to take that from us, stating the gym they have been using is no longer up to par for the public. We have contractors on standby and many other volunteers who are willing to do whatever work is necessary to address whatever the issues may be. This is an attempt to get your support and help us bring excitement back to our community, so will you stand with us?

  • No Public Traffic Access At 19th & O'connell
    City staff wants to widen 19th Street between O'Connell and Harper to a 47-foot arterial width and connect it to O’Connell Rd at Venture Business Park. For perspective, the width of the three-lane 19th Street stretch north of Lawrence High School is less than 35 feet. Although the City claims otherwise, we know that opening the connection would dump traffic into the heart of our neighborhoods from commuters, game day traffic, and business park employees. The City claims they have to widen the street and connect it because: 1) buses and emergency vehicles need to get through 2) the water line has broken frequently 3) it is missing sections of sidewalk 4) there are no bicycle lanes 5) the pavement is bad 6) it has open ditches Instead, the 19th Street Neighborhoods Coalition proposes: 1) A gate at O’Connell, operable by buses and emergency vehicles 2) Replace the water line, as done in other parts of town 3) Install a 6-foot sidewalk on the north side 4) Install a 10-foot bicycle path on the south side 5) Keep the open drainage for better flood control 6) Repave 19th Street at 22 feet wide, like other streets

  • Appoint a Hudson County resident to Port Authority Board of Commissioners
    The Port Authority of NY & NJ is governed by a 12-member Board of Commissioners. The governors of NY and NJ each nominate six state residents. Four other counties have representation on the board right, but no resident of Hudson sits on the board. The Port Authority has no greater impact in NJ than it does right here in Hudson, which hosts six of seven of NJ's PATH train stations, both major tunnels, Port Jersey, Port offices at 2 Montgomery Street in Jersey City, and the JSQ transportation hub. Please join this call to Governor Murphy to fill this new vacancy with a Hudson resident! Please sign and share. (Read more: http://s.nj.com/UmO4WZD)

    I am creating this petition to hopefully prevent jaywalking across a busy road. I have seen students jaywalk across Austin Bluffs Parkway and cars having to swerve out of their way to prevent hitting the person.

  • Save Amtrak's Long Distance Trains
    This Petition is about preserving Amtrak's Network of Long Distance Trains for future generations to enjoy. I am starting this petition for the following two reasons; one, I cannot imagine the United States being the only Major Country in the world that does not have a national Rail Network, and two Amtrak serves a lot of people, some of these people either do not like to fly or cannot fly for a number of reasons. This issue is very important to me because, in 2015 I was in an accident, due to this accident I have Sciatica in my left leg, and lower back pain. Due to this accident I cannot wait in long lines, nor can I fly.

  • Drug Treatment for Tooele County Residents
    I'm starting this petition because I feel that it is very important for anybody that is plagued by drug addiction to have options if they choose to be sober. At this point in time, Tooele County has very few resources when it comes to rehabilitation. I am wanting to see an inpatient facility that helps addicts without having to have a court order. Recovery needs to be a choice and rehabilitation needs to be readily available and within reach of these people. I would also like to see a detox intake option also. It is very important that addicts who struggle to find help have options and hope to recover from their addictions. There are no centers in the surrounding areas that offer any options for Tooele county residents.

  • REMOVE Cook County from the B2B Proposal
    We hope to avoid the possible environmental degradation from increased high impact OHV traffic. These revered places of nature, wildlife, natural solitude, and beauty are not intended for and cannot withstand increased high impact motorized recreation. Counties and the Grand Portage Reservation have opposed the proposal and Clearwater County has an official Resolution opposing the B2B sent to the DNR, their representatives and senator. Please note your geographic connection to Cook County, if you note down another location. Thank you for your support and for showing up to join our cause !

  • Homes for Homeless Vets
    We owe our armed forces members and veterans so much more than what any one of us could ever put into words or by a Trump parade..., especially when so many have and continue to do the lifting for us. Let's take the $30-$50 million taxpayers dollars estimated to be the cost of Trump's military parade... which in the words of Madeline Albright "is a Soviet-style military parade"...and build homes for homeless vets and pay off vets' mortgages.

  • Lets not lose Brighton Pool in favor of an ice rink! We want both!
    As a taxpayer in the Town Of Tonawanda I don't feel we should choose a pool or rink! A multi purpose complex that includes an outdoor pool should be considered as part of the proposed project.

  • Parental Rights
    This is a petition to bring Families back together again, Hear say should not be allowed to hold up in court, nor should just allegations alone. Parent's, Grandparent's, ect... Should not have to beg for visitation rights with their own family, That is Mental Anguish on the child and Abuse! Parent's need more free range on the upbringing of their children as religions vary in many degree's and area's. Parent's should be allowed to record their own children's precious memories even if it is a phone call, it's still a memory. Vision, and Mission statements all say keeping families together how is that when so many have been allegated and broken apart! Human Rights are being violated, Where is the Peace that is supposed to be the benefit of living as a American. We need to make sure that Due Process is done on every case not just certain ones. A Parent should not have to sign medication for their children if they can not even speak to them. Parent's need space back to be Parent's, after all these children are our future leaders and if they get brought up in corruption that will tell you where this country will be full of in 10 years when these 7 and 8 year olds start becoming independent, they will do as they were taught. Let's secure them a brighter future by bringing back family morals and religious belief's.
