Economic growth and jobs in Northwest Illinois are fueled by adequate and diverse transportation services. This requires state and local support to reinstate and adequately fund passenger rail service in Northwest Illinois.

This will be a much needed addition to our community.

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.

Rutherford 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.

I'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.

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.

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!

I 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.

I 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.

The Bryans Road Safeway is planning to close May, 2018, leaving us with one grocery store for healthy food. But I, like you, do not want to drive 30 minutes plus to the one grocer left in town, however long it may remain...

We want to fight against ISP providers who will be able to price gouge and throttle internet speeds when the new FCC rules are in place.

This 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).
