• Bernies Believers
    Bernie Sanders has defended us. We are being accused of causing chaos and violence at political rallies, when in truth, we are peacefully attending Bernie Sander rallies. We must speak together now in one voice. We must must denounce the violence, and denounce the political ploy being used against us and against Mr. Sanders by Donald Trump He does not speak for Bernie Sanders supporters to Mainstream Corporate Media.

  • Support Beaucatcher Greenway
    The planning of the Beaucatcher Greenway has been in the works for years but is at risk of being derailed. After years of dedication from citizens including community leaders, family, friends and neighbors of Asheville who have worked with City staff to design a beautiful, environmentally sound greenway, there has been misinformation that could cost the citizens time, money and potentially the loss of this project. DO NOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN. Rumor vs. Fact 1. Rumor: 82 trees will be removed at the southern trailhead. FACT: According to the designs, only a dozen trees will be removed. A few are larger trees, but most of the trees are very small, at risk of falling down due to erosion, or already dead. Additionally, there are invasive plants which have overtaken the trees. 2. Rumor: It’s an old growth forest. FACT: No, it’s not. The area has been logged in the past, and the proposed designs could protect the surrounding trees in this important urban forest. 3. Rumor: The Greenway is a new road. FACT: Some of the future trail is already a paved road. And, the current portion of the trail which is dirt is deeply washed out due to poor drainage and a lack of maintenance. The proposed designs could protect that trail and make it accessible to people with disabilities. 4. Rumor: The northern end of the proposed access road for the greenway is the private driveway of a 4 unit condominium. FACT: The City of Asheville has right-of-way, confirmed by City legal staff. 5. Rumor: A petition in opposition of the greenway is a reflection of the desire of the citizens of Asheville. FACT: Many of the people signing the petition are from out of town, out of state, and most have never been to the site. WE WANT THE BEAUCATCHER GREENWAY.

  • Bernie Sanders VS Donald Trump Debate #BernieTrumpDebate
    Bernie Sanders VS Donald Trump Debate This petition is to bring Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump together with the backing of the DNC and RNC to hold a debate focusing on the issues surrounding the recent protests. Over the last few months we’ve seen both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump lay out their visions for America. Whether you agree with Trump or Sanders, both have drawn huge numbers at their rallies and both have won key states in their party’s primaries. Over the last few days a number of groups including Bernie Sanders supporters have protested at Donald Trump’s rallies. The protests demonstrate a general feeling towards Trumps positions. But protests are also supposed to be a method to starting a conversation. That conversation is already starting to happen over Twitter between the two campaigns. Bernie Sanders ‏@BernieSanders Mar 11 "The politics of division has no place in our country. Trump should take responsibility for addressing his supporters' violent actions." Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump Mar13 "Bernie Sanders is lying when he says his disruptors aren't told to go to my events. Be careful Bernie, or my supporters will go to yours!" However, rather than having the discussion over social media, why not have it in full view of the American people. Every mainstream media outlet in the country is already covering it. A large number of Americans are already talking about it. So why not bring both campaigns, both candidates together and debates the issues. It isn’t something that could potentially wait till the General Election. This is a national moment, a national discussion that’s developing and happening now. It’s happening because of the positions that these two candidates both hold and as a result it’s only something that can fully be explained by the two candidates together themselves. Let’s have a real debate! #BernieTrumpDebate

  • Father's Against Alienating Mother's
    This petition is about placing stricter action on mother's that purposely keep their children away from their father(s), and enforcing the father's rights and relationships that are rightfully deserved to be developed between a father and his child(ren). I am and have been a victim of this form of abuse and it's time that affirmative action is taken on mothers that alienate children and their father's. The mothers receive child support, the father's taxes "while keeping her own." The courts take away a father's driver's license and throw the fathers in jail if behind, but the mother(s) suffer no harsh penalties for destroying a child's relationship with its father. It is time that the cheek stops getting turned away and the law's to be changed and enforced vigorously against mother's that do this to the child(ren). Anger, vindictiveness, and bitterness should not allow for a child to be kept away from their father, and it is now time to change the laws and implement just as much strictness on mothers as on the fathers that struggle with child support. For the fathers that want to be in their child(ren)'s lives they should be allowed to be and without interference from the mother(s), grandparent's, family, friends etc. There is an immediate and urgent need for laws that protect the fathers and the children that suffer through this from the past, present, and future.

  • Trump Protest in Cincinnati
    The rights of every minority and the first amendment itself are under threat as long as Donald Trump has path to nomination. We are protesting Donald's disrespectful, disparaging and hateful sentiment towards women, Latin American immigrants, Muslim Americans, Muslim immigrants, Syrian refugees, black Americans, Mexican Americans, threatening the press, ridiculing journalists and promising to restrict freedom of the press if he is elected into power. Come show the world that Ohio is NOT a place for these types of divisive and hate-filled policies.

  • Pave Dan's Branch Road, Williamson WV
    Well over a hundred households are impacted by the condition of our road. We travel it daily commuting to and from work. Our children are transported to their schools. The road conditions impact the condition of our vehicles, the values of our properties, the health of our neighbors. Flash flooding blocks roads for emergency personnel and further erode the remaining asphalt. We want our road fixed and will not be ignored.

  • DOJ Investigate Trump for Inciting Riots
    Trump's statements have gone beyond hateful rhetoric and crossed the line to criminal behavior. Our government must take action to hold him accountable before anymore lives are put in danger for simply trying to exercise their first amendment rights of free speech.

  • Racist cannot run for U.S. President
    I am shocked that more is not being done to uphold the laws and values of the U.S.A. by its elected officials. I believe that I have an obligation to engage "we the people, for the people" grassroots efforts to impel our leaders to protect our nation.
