• Public Homeless Shelter Option for Lane County
    Given the long term nature of the homelessness crisis in Lane County, we need government to commit resources for emergency shelter needs. It is neither efficient, logical or ethical to expect community volunteers acting in an emergency situation to meet the urgent, sustained needs without a public homeless shelter option.

  • Douglas County, Colorado: Adhere To The 2035 Master Plan
    Please sign regardless of the state you live in. The goal is to get national attention. Douglas County, CO has a state-mandated, tax-payer-funded Master Plan that is supposed to be in effect until 2035. The County Commissioners have overthrown the will of the people to approve at least (2) dense developments by rezoning. These decisions were outside of the basic guidelines of the Master Plan and were against the will of the citizens who voiced their opposition to the developments at public hearings. Douglas County is now preparing to rezone agricultural land on Hilltop Road for more dense development. The heavy development in Douglas County is congesting our communities, destroying Colorado's natural beauty and wildlife, and is depleting the limited-resource aquifers. The depletion of the aquifers will eventually leave the land scarred and worthless within approximately 100 years. This is being done so a few developers can make large profits without regard for land and water preservation and the local citizens. Our County Commissioners are paid to be public servants. When they overthrow the will of the people and the Master Plan, they become dictators. Please protect citizens' rights to steward and preserve our local communities by signing this petition. Thank you for your support.

  • 94903 community calls for a moratorium on high-density development
    Traffic problems are ignored. Traffic solutions are delayed. Congestion is impassible! Schools are not properly funded. Jobs are replaced by high-density luxury housing. Water supplies are limited and increasingly costly. Endangered species are extinct here. Autism and asthma have doubled in 20 years. Lower income neighborhoods are scheduled for “redevelopment” as luxury housing. 83% of subsidized housing in unincorporated Marin County is slated for 94903. Subsidized housing is relegated to freeway and heavy diesel freight train routes. Light, views, and privacy are impacted. Politicians are violating Housing Element and General Plan provisions without explanation.

NOTE: If you wish to help, please send an email to [email protected] . For your protection, the website does not share your email address with us. We are asking for legislators to lead WSDOT to make these changes to the I-405 Express Toll Lanes: 1. Eliminate the need for a FlexPass to be a carpool in the ETL 2. Eliminate all tolling and restore I-405 ETL to standard 2+ carpool lanes. 3. Eliminate the double lines and allow drivers the freedom to enter/exit those lanes as they see the need. 4. Allow all drivers to use the carpool lanes for free during late night hours as it was before. These changes will result in: 1. Increased participation in carpools 2. Better utilization of all 5 lanes of traffic while still meeting performance goals for the Federal funding 3. Improved overall drive times for everyone at all times, regardless of the distance they are traveling, their ability to be a carpool or their ability to pay the toll 4. Increased safety 5. Increased public satisfaction 6. Lower operating costs of the highway

  • Recreating Livable Orphanages and Transitionary Housing for America's Homeless and Refugees
    Human life is valuable. Our top priority in this life is to preserve the sanctity of it, and maintain a valuable and meaningful one for all those we are able to help. Helping our own citizens, and integrating others into our melting pot is what this country is founded on. As a first world country, it is our responsibility to help those that we can. If we do not ease some of the burden of refugee acceptance from Europe, we will create enemies. Refugee families who do not receive help when Europe's borders close, and they will close, may consider joining Isis just to survive. They will have no other choice. We can create more worldwide allies by doing our duty.

  • Tell Governor Christie: Protect New Jersey's Drinking Water
    New Jersey could face a water crisis similar to California if the Christie administration doesn’t act now. Counties across the state are rationing water, and water supplies in parts of Cape May and Cumberland counties are contaminated with salt water. Groundwater supplies are being depleted across the state. New Jersey’s population is growing, and we’ll need more drinking water in years to come. Yet the policies that ensure we have the water we need haven’t been updated in nearly two decades. It’s unacceptable that the state has not taken action to ensure clean drinking water for everyone. Governor Christie must release the state Water Supply Master Plan now. Without this plan, New Jersey can’t address our aging water infrastructure and plan for the demands that are being placed on our precious water. Add your name to tell Governor Christie to prevent a water crisis similar to what’s happening in California, and approve a new Water Supply Master Plan.

  • Stop Buscaino's Hamilton St. School Zone Drag-Strip
    My child attends White Point Elementary School and walks to school. I already fear for his safety--the increased traffic and speeding cars are already a constant concern. I can't imagine the traffic speeds and volume when Hamilton Street is widened to four lanes- IT'S A SCHOOL ZONE!! Where is the logic??

  • Make State Parks, Public Fairs & Festivals ADA Compliant
    In our area we hold many public events and market our town to retired individuals and visitors as a spa town with healing and mineral waters, and yet hardly any of our walkways are compliant. Our state parks, which serve as venues for some of these festivals, are not compliant and take away from the few handicapped parking spots that are available. The trolley that is available for one of our largest festivals has no wheelchair access whatsoever. These public festivals should be accessible for everyone. Some of these public events must apply for a license. These applications should ask if the venue is ADA compliant and if there is transportation if it has handicapped access. If "No" to either, the application should be denied. Someone should also find out the expected amount of people attending an event and whether the venue is large enough for that amount of people and also what plans there are for overcrowding and traffic because we have a mess going on where I live. You can email me for more information. To business owners: Statistics from the 2009-2013 US Census: Of the estimated 17345 population in Morgan County, 3198 are reported as disabled with the overwhelming majority of their disabilities being ambulatory and/or outpatient. Sign the petition and let those customer's know that you want their business!

  • OPWDD Services petition
    Over the last two months, OPWDD has held transformation panel public forums throughout the state. Parents across the state expressed their concerns about their loved ones. There is an obvious need for community services however current community-based programs do not meet the range of services, quality of care and consistent workforce that state run facilities offer. A.7332 / S.4094 would compel OPWDD to show a true commitment to individuals with developmental disabilities by allowing them a list of options that would include state-operated choices in all areas of the state and allocate the necessary resources to help them. Please urge Governor Cuomo to sign the bill.
