Motorist have the right to challenge a traffic ticket, and law enforcement dash cameras and body cameras should be viewed first to see if a traffic infraction or speeding violation happened exactly the way law enforcement claims before any plea deals or points being issued against a motorist license.

With the rise and popularity of longboarding and skateboarding in our culture we have also seen a rise in fatalities and permanent brain injury that could have been necessarily avoided by the wearing of helmets. Unfortunately retailers and their associates have historically ignored this problem because it has been viewed as unpopular. We would like to reverse this trend and work to save lives.

As a citizen of the United States, my own livelihood is directly affected by the outcome of the Presidential election, and by extension, the primary election. The same goes for all citizens involved in this process. Accordingly, more attention and resources should be directed toward guaranteeing a fair, and accurate election for the citizens of the United States.

Coming out of the Dodd-Frank 2010 overhaul, the goal was to make large banks less of a threat to the economy. One of the requirements was that the largest financial institutions need to submit plans, or living wills, for how the banks would enter bankruptcy in an orderly fashion in case of a crisis. Plans submitted by five of the largest banks have failed testing, which suggests that if there were another crisis today, the government would need to prop up the largest banks if it wanted to avoid financial chaos. In order to prevent that from happening, we need to restore The Glass-Steagall Act, which successfully protected taxpayers and the economy from the risky bets investment banks take. From 1932 to 1999, the original Glass-Steagall Act led to the largest sustained period of economic growth and safe banking in U.S. history; it ensured that investment banks could take risks but consumer deposits in commercial banks were protected. Just seven years after it was largely repealed in 1999, the economy suffered a major collapse and taxpayers were forced to bail out the banks. Now that five big banks have flunked two separate regulator tests of their ability to avoid being bailed out again, it’s time to pass the “21st Century Glass-Steagall Act” to rein in the still too-big-to-fail and still too-big-to-manage big banks.

This petition is about voter participation. Every American is VERY personally affected by perceived manipulation in favor of the powers that be.

The FWC (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation) is made up of mostly hunters, ranchers, and land developers. Some of the same FWC members who voted for the Bear Hunt in 2015 reportedly bought a Bear Hunting Permit. Thousands of Citizens' Voices were raised in opposition, including avid hunters against the 2015 Hunt, that were ignored. On October 24 and 25th, 2015, in the Two-Day Hunt, 298+ of the Quota of 320 Bears were killed; 38 were lactating mother bears leaving young orphaned cubs behind, too young to be left alone in the woods. One Hunter reportedly bragged about kicking a cub off of its dead Mother. Cubs never drift far from their mother. These cubs stood and watched mom slain and carried off like garbage. Cubs bawling for Mom, filled our woods with horrific sadness; with grief and loss they couldn't understand. Cubs need Mom for food, guidance and protection as they learn from her, for a full 2 years. The bears were protected for 21 years, until 2012, as Endangered Species; after De-listing, it was quick to get them on the 2015 Hunt. The hunt was scheduled to go on for 7 days but closed after 2 days. There were 3,700 permits sold--we only had an estimated 3,000 bears in the entire state. There was corn still in the mouths of some of the bears, which would indicate baiting. They were planning another Bear Hunt in 2016. Because of you- it was stopped! About 100 of us went to the FWC Meeting at Eastpoint, Florida where they made their final decision. We spoke from 8am to 8pm, the fate of our bears was decided on June 22, 2016. We Won! No Florida Black Bear Hunt will take place in 2016! Our Bears are safe for this one year. We must continue to be ready for their decision in 2017. The NRA and Hunters Groups are furious that the FWC ruled in our favor. They will be stronger next year- and we must be as well! The usual- FWC Commissioners-Leisa Priddy and Nick Wiley voted for having another Bear Hunt. After Signing Petition. Please one more request. Write to FWC Commissioners personally. Let them know you are against a 2017 Florida Black Bear Recreational Hunt. That you will not Travel to a State that sponsors Trophy Hunts. Commissioners Ron Bergeron, Bo Rivard, Robert A. Spottswood and Chairman Brian Yablonski. Voted against 2016 Hunt Thank them for allowing our Bears to Live. AlieseP. “Liesa” Priddy, Nick Wiley, Charles W. Roberts 111 voted to have another Bear Hunt. Thank God- they were stopped and there will be No 2016 Bear Hunt! http://myfwc.com/about/commission/commissioners/ The US Forestry is carrying out controlled burns year round, with hundreds of thousands of acres of our Florida's National Forest burned. Bear cubs are born in late winter and early spring. The bears have infant cubs too little to escape these fires. The palmetto berries and oak trees, food for the bears, are being wiped out. The small game, which is food for bears and panthers, are all on Florida's hunt list. Stop the killing of all these forest creatures, they are not consumed as food for any humans. Florida has a hunt list with unlimited year round, no bag limits of raccoon, opossum, coyote, beaver, skunk, nutria, otter, and seasonally unlimited kill of even bobcats.

Since 2001, public officials have known that drinking water in many Ohio communities is contaminated with C-8, a harmful chemical linked to cancer, ulcerative colitis, and other serious illnesses. How can Gov. Kasich seek the highest office in the country if he can't even protect his own residents from toxic drinking water? Tell Gov. Kasich to filter our drinking water NOW.

We are starting this petition because a lot of times some people aren't punished equally or punished at all for raping someone because of the fact that some sexual assaults aren't considered as rape and the perpetrator isn't punished. We haven't personally been affected by this issue but if it was someone close to us or even us ourselves we would want punishment for the perpetrator.

Hydraulic Fracturing or (Fracking) is a method used to drill for Natural Gas. It has been proven that this method of extracting Natural Gas will contaminate underground water sources. Hydraulic Fracturing is proven to be harmful to our water sources. Fracking already occurs in Utah but it needs to stop.

Too many irregularities and instances of electoral fraud as hundreds of thousands of Bernie supporters are disenfranchised of the Constitutional right to vote when they are purged or have had their party affiliation switched so they could not vote in closed Primaries. The Justice Department needs to investigate the DNC and see if the accessed Bernie Sanders voter database (which is within the DNC database) when the system was having problems and the DNC sent a tech to work at Bernie's H.Q.

From Huffington Post: Memo to Curt Schilling: You can delete it from your Facebook page, but that doesn’t mean it’s erased from the Internet. Schilling, the ESPN baseball analyst and former major league pitcher, posted a surprisingly offensive meme on his Facebook page Monday, mocking the transgender community in general, and the lack of access to public bathroom facilities in particular. We won’t be embedding the meme here, but SB Nation’s Outsports took a screenshot before Schilling took it down. http://www.outsports.com/2016/4/19/11461618/curt-schilling-espn-transgender Not content to merely share the meme, Schilling weighed in with a comment: “A man is a man no matter what they call themselves. I don’t care what they are, who they sleep with, men’s room was designed for the penis, women’s not so much. Now you need laws telling us differently? Pathetic.” Schilling responded to the controversy stirred by the meme in a rambling blog post Tuesday. “I didn’t post that ugly looking picture,” he wrote. “I made a comment about the basic functionality of mens and womens restrooms, period. “And for you people too dense to understand this one very important thing. My opinion, 100% mine, and only mine. I don’t represent anyone but myself here, on facebook, on twitter, anywhere.” It’s a surprising bout of bigotry for Schilling, who was suspended by ESPN in August for posting intolerant comments comparing Muslims to Nazis. After that incident, Schilling claimed he’d changed and acknowledged on Twitter, “this was a bad decision in every way on my part.”
