Save Historic Pollok BuildingThe thought of losing such a significant historical building anywhere is devastating. This building was built by one of the Georgetown/Silver Plume Historic Landmark District's highly respected doctors during the Victorian silver boom. This act goes against everything the National Historic Landmark designation stands for.200 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Anne Marie Cannon

City Council: Come Out Of The DarkAlong Acme Street (between Kroger and intersection of Acme and Phillips Street) there are no street lights which makes it very hard for pedestrians (those walking, riding bikes or using a wheelchair) to see at night. This cause for concern brings safety issues as well especially because of the animals (deer, fox, koons, coyotes, etc) and broken/uneven sidewalks. There are existing poles located along the road that could serve as a potential post for the street light, for example the post in front of Preston’s Beauty Academy or Riverview Credit Union. This road is NOW a state route which means more traffic, larger vehicles on the road and a higher speed limit. Recently, an elected official told me that in a meeting held by City officials, this “situation” was brought up. Many responses were and I quote, “Why should we change something for one person.” Of course I am upset because obviously my life or any other lives mean nothing to the City of Marietta. I am pretty sure that one life lost is too many so why play with mine or my daughters.113 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Terrie Lincoln

San Francisco Needs a Better PlanSigning this petition will let city authorities know you have had ENUF and why you are signing this petition. All comments go directly to the recipients. City Hall wants to bring dense development into all our neighborhoods. No area of the city will be spared unless we stop them. 1. Dense development is coming to all our neighborhoods including the Marina, Cow Hollow, Richmond, Pacific Heights, Presidio Heights, Western Addition, and the Sunset. Described and illustrated by charts and maps seen here. http://www.sf-planning.org/AHBP 2. You can say goodbye to private yards, garages and other single-family home amenities in the future San Francisco. If you don’t have your own now, you probably have friends who do. 3. This program was designed without any neighborhood groups or residents’ knowledge or involvement. The city authorities plan to approve it very soon with as little public notice as possible. 4. No notice was given to citizens who are signed up to get such notice; and no property owners have been mailed any notices about this new plan. 5. Citizens became aware of the program when this article was posted on BizJournals.com August 11, 2015. 6. No full Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is planned for his program. The EIR will rely on the 2014 Housing Element EIR, seen as “legally defensible.” 7.

Mark Cuban: stop your net neutrality hypocrisyDallas Mavericks owner, Shark Tank judge, and tech billionaire Marc Cuban is in Washington this week to lobby against net neutrality -- the rule for Internet providers: all online content must be treated equally. Ending net neutrality would be great for big telecoms like Comcast and Verizon, but terrible for consumers -- and our democracy. Marc Cuban should know the importance of net neutrality better than anybody. His businesses thrive thanks to the ease of communication and accessibility that the Open Internet offers. And on Shark Tank, he positions himself as a mentor to young entrepreneurs. But now, he's shutting the door behind him and choosing corporate profits over his community. Instead, Cuban ought to preserve that openness for every American by speaking out for -- not against -- net neutrality.495 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Common Cause

Equal Access to a Driver's License for all Pennsylvania ResidentsIt seems that the enemies of the liberties and rights protected in the United States have forgotten the history of the city of Philadelphia and of this great state of Pennsylvania. Ignoring this historical legacy, in 2009 the state of Pennsylvania cancelled the Driver's Licenses of thousands of people, of every race, that had been obtained legally. These cancellations have impacted negatively the economy of our state and our public and national security. It is the rights and well-being of the people that we are ultimately concerned with. Driving does not just mean access to an automobile, but also the right to move freely, go to our jobs and thus bring food to the table for our families, the right to lead a dignified life. The roads and highways are safer when everyone behind the wheel has a license, insurance and identification. We request a Public Hearing in Harrisburg to The Transportation Committee of The House of Representatives, to make the Proposal HB 1450 become a Law that will recover the right to a driver's license for every person who has been denied one as part of a cruel political game.287 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Denisse Agurto

Pass The Low Income Solar Act1. For homeowners with suitable roofs this legislation would provide grants to help reduce the upfront costs of installing solar panels. For renters or families unable to install solar on their roofs the bill provides loans to solar developers to connect low-income families to solar either physically, or virtually through the construction of community solar facilities. In all cases this bill encourages job training to local communities. 2. Promotes diversity in the workforce by prioritizing loans for woman- and minority owned small businesses. 3. Sets aside a portion of funds for developing solar economies in Appalachia, Indian tribal lands, and Alaskan native communities.174 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Drew Hudson

Common Ground: Homeless Depot ShelterThis is a personal appeal to the conscience of our community to put yourselves in the place of the thousands of men, women, even children in our community who every night go to sleep, unlike you or me, without a place to call their own, and therefore are forced to break the law in order to sleep.240 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Steve Pleich
