Tell City of Dripping Springs to say NO to the proposed Rutherford Ranch North developmentRutherford Ranch North is a massive proposed housing development located in northeastern Hays County within the ecologically sensitive Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone and Dripping Springs ETJ. The proposed development would transform 781 Acres of beautiful, oak-filled hill country ranching land into yet another residential community, containing approximately 1,252 homes. Rutherford Ranch North would increase runoff, affecting local and regional groundwater quality, by transporting residential pollutants straight into the Edwards aquifer through Little Bear Creek and local geologic recharge features, like Dahlstrom Cave. Dye tests prove that water entering Dahlstrom Cave is in local wells within ten hours and Barton Springs shortly after. This increased runoff would also infringe on the private property rights of nearby landowners who depend on the aquifer for drinking water and who live in fear of local flooding. Rutherford Ranch North would be located next to an area recognized as a Floodplain by FEMA. Nearby landowners have spent countless hours and large sums of money to combat flooding and would be forced to devote even more of their limited time and resources to protect and maintain their property. In addition to polluting the aquifer, Rutherford Ranch North would Increase traffic on already congested roads. The area contains a rock quarry and there are plans for a park, a large high school, and several other housing developments in addition to a future toll road - SH-45SW. The Rutherford Ranch North development would only add to the increased traffic caused by these projects. Please sign this petition today and tell Dripping Springs that Rutherford Ranch North would be a disaster for the aquifer, local landowners, and the region.430 of 500 SignaturesCreated by mark strauss

Potholes in PhiladelphiaI'm starting this petition because, I have seen children tripping and falling over potholes. I have also seen, motor vehicles almost get into accidents with each other just trying to avoid these holes. We have wheel chair operators and other disability residents that is having problems due to the extreme deep holes in this city, especially the urban areas!! Even our crossing guards are having a hard time controlling traffic as they protect children crossing between potholes and traffic that is trying to avoid holes. Someone needs to help us NOW because Later has already past. Help is needed starting with with the OGONTZ Sts. in Philadelphia. When these holes fill up with water or snow, No one can no longer see them & the danger starts all over again. We would like to see our tax dollars play apart in our safety with safe roads without HOLES. It's time for our political leaders to make this request become a reality. Thank you.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tonette Edwards

Don't Mess With SNAP!House Republicans are now pushing a farm bill that would impose strict so-called "work requirements" on millions of low-income Americans receiving food stamps. This is a horrible idea! Requiring people to find 20 hours a week of work before they receive food stamps when there aren't enough jobs to go around isn't just cruel, it's nonsensical. Republicans are proposing to punish people for circumstances that are often outside of their control and their plan would hurt those in marginalized communities already suffering from high unemployment rates. Please join with us tell Congress to keep their hands off of SNAP.386 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Matt Hildreth

Bring Back The Smiley Barn!For many decades, a happy smiley face affixed to a yellow barn along highway I-94 in Delafield, Wisconsin, warmed people's hearts and was a treasured landmark. When the smiley was taken down in 2002, the community suffered a huge loss. The barn has now changed hands and the new owner wants to bring the smiley face back but needs approval from Delafield city officials. We need them to vote YES!581 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Maria Luther

Give SNAP Back to PeopleI have severe depression and anxiety, and had been able to handle the symptoms of these until about five years ago, after a severely traumatic event happened. Now, I cannot work, but the State of Tennessee believes that, just because my hands still function, that I am not disabled. However, disability determination aside, I need to be able to eat, and contribute to my household's income, even if it is just by food stamps. Also, a good friend of mine recently had their SNAP taken away because they cannot get any more than ten hours a week at their job. They are looking for another job, but many places do not offer 20-40 hour work weeks. They are working, but apparently, not enough to suit the State's standards. People, in general, need to be able to eat, even if they do not have a job or a child, and removing food stamps from unemployed adults will leave them starving, which no one deserves.27 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Naomi Durall

Public BroadbrandI am starting this petition because of the recent decision by the FCC to end Net Neutrality guidelines that keep the internet open and not subject it to fast or slow lanes. In the wake of the decision made by Ajit Pai it has led to the dismantling of the open and free internet and it should be in the best interest of the public to institute its own public broad brand with Net Neutrality guidelines enshrined within the proposal.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Samuel Ryan

Mayland MDOT: Widen Interstate 70This petition is being started due to my 16 year experience of driving on these roads. There have been numerous traffic accidents (some fatal) due to the bumper to bumper traffic. This intersection is a focal point for traffic from the Columbia, Fort Meade and Baltimore areas, and all traffic is bottled necked to a four lane highway (2 lanes each direction).14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brian Lindung

Mayor Weinberger, Don't Veto Our Vote!The Air Force says F-35 basing will harm children and elderly in thousands of families and will pose high crash danger. The livability of thousands of affordable homes is at risk. The Air Force says any number of alternatives is available for Burlington. Low-noise-level equipment with a proven high safety record will be very good for Burlington and for surrounding cities and towns. The resolution respects the will of the voters. I urge you to join the council in respecting the will of the voters.596 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Ben Cohen (co-founder of Ben & Jerry's)

Stop DC Ads from Killing Food Stamps NationwideCongressional staffers use the DC metro system to get to work, so they see the same ads as everyone else. Right now, as Congress is debating whether to cut SNAP, the DC government is running an ad campaign targeting food stamp fraud. The DC government's advertisements could have nationwide effects by swaying congressional staffers to think SNAP fraud is a bigger problem than it actually is.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chris Letts
