Washington Post Readers Deserve Better than Joe ScarboroughDonald Trump considers media personality, Joe Scarborough, a “supporter” and even thanked Scarborough on the air saying, “You guys have been supporters, and I really appreciate it." As the host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough uses one of MSNBC’s most watched programs to support, promote, and even defend Donald Trump’s hateful rhetoric. Just last month, Joe Scarborough admitted to meeting personally with Trump in order to provide him with debate tips. As if that wasn’t enough, Mediaite has reported on how Trump has called Joe Scarborough a “believer” of his campaign and has even asked Scarborough for questions that were not “too hard.” These are just some of the examples that illustrate that Joe Scarborough is not unbiased when it comes to Republican candidate Donald Trump. Donald Trump has become the frontrunner in the Republican Party because friendly “journalists,” like Joe Scarborough, use Trump’s celebrity status to boost their ratings. Instead of asking Trump tough questions about his racist and xenophobic rhetoric, pundits like Joe Scarborough keep Trump happy so he keeps coming back. And while you might expect this “ratings over credibility” mentality on morning Television, the Washington Post recently announced that Joe Scarborough will serve as a regular contributor to their 2016 election commentary and opinion section. This is great for Donald Trump but horrible for anyone who cares about keeping Trump out of the mainstream. It is shameful and irresponsible for The Washington Post to allow Joe Scarborough, a pundit who has set journalistic integrity aside in order to support Donald Trump, to comment on one of our country’s most important elections. The Washington Post should provide its readers with unbiased and thought-provoking coverage of the presidential election, and not give Joe Scarborough yet another platform to defend and justify Trump’s toxic and dangerous rhetoric.44 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Juan Escalante

Suspend the Senate's payRepublican Senators have said they will not consider any of the President's nominees for the Supreme Court vacancy. As far as I'm concerned - no work, no pay.249 of 300 SignaturesCreated by William J Murphy

NORDSTROM: REMOVE Ivanka Trump Lifestyle Collection products from your shelvesWith his steady stream of divisive rhetoric Ivanka Trump has steadfastly stood by her father's side. Ms. Trump proudly tells audiences her father would make a great president. Consequently, though she has consistently said she doesn't want to get involved in politics, she has put herself front and center of her father's campaign. By extension her name sake company becomes a strong supporter of Trump for President. Nordstrom, by selling her product line, is also now a supporter. Unless they remove her products from their stores, we, as consumers also have power. For those of us who find Trump's alienating talk alarming, we should stop shopping at all Nordstrom stores and from their online site unless they remove the Ivanka Trump Lifestyle Product line from all their stores.1,447 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Debbie Friedlander

BRING HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL TO NEVADAPennington Student Achievement Center is the ideal filming location for High School Musical 4. It's the start of something new, it's shiny, and it is the most beautiful building to ever grace this state. Stepping inside this glorious building you feel an instant emotional connection--a connection that should be shared with the good people of Disney and the world. Think of the social stairs and the glorious choreography that could unfold on them. THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES. It is about time that the University of Nevada start breakin' free and be appreciated in all of its glory. And it's about time that we were all featured in the background scenes of a Disney Original Movie. But it all starts with you signing this petition. You just gotta get ya head in the game.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ashley Tarchione

Secret Service is for protection, not for beating up protestersI've watched the secret service beat up a photographer and oust many peaceful people from rallies. If peaceful people need to be removed, it should be the candidate's people who do it, not an arm of the government for which the citizens pay.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Terry Lowman

open the Baltic St. schoolyard to the public during non-school hoursThe petition is to act on getting K497, the School for International Studies and K429, the Brooklyn School of Global Studies, to open their schoolyard to the public during non-school hours, just as other neighborhood schools do. The two public schools are located in the building at 284 Baltic Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201. The neighborhood has been asking the schools to reopen their schoolyard to neighborhood children and families for more than five years - when it was just an asphalt lot. The schoolyard has since been remodeled for the second time and it offers tremendous opportunities for neighborhood residents to gather and play; the new artificial turfed field is unparalleled in the community as are the playground’s climbing apparatus and creative gross motor play opportunities presented by the stick forest and spinning areas. Offering the schoolyard to neighborhood residents outside of school hours is a great opportunity for the schools to give back to community families and businesses. At least five public schools within the surrounding ten blocks open their schoolyards to the public during non-school hours following NYC Parks rules: PS 29, PS 32, PS 38, PS 261 and K519. The NYC Parks department even sponsors the Schoolyards to Playgrounds initiative which is making a concerted effort to improve schoolyards and make them accessible to the public. Ours is a reasonable request grounded in precedent.725 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Kristi Guigliano

More Recess Time for Collegium Elementary School StudentsOur family has been very happy with Collegium. My twin sons are in 3rd grade and have been at the school since kindergarten. The academic days are particularly long and we feel that more balance is critical in regard to recess. Studies prove that children are much more attentive and retain more information when given adequate breaks. There is also a noticeable difference in behavioral issues. "Through active, free play and interactions with schoolmates, children can develop a respect for rules and an appreciation for other people's cultures and beliefs. They learn skills such as conflict resolution, self-discipline, determination, compromise and teamwork, as well as sharing during recess." Dr. Robert Murray, a pediatrician and professor of human nutrition at the Ohio State University, did a study on the benefits of recess. What she found was that playtime’s benefits extend beyond the physical. “We came to the realization that it really affects social, emotional and cognitive development in a much deeper way than we’d expected,” she says. “It helps children practice conflict resolution if we allow them unstructured play, and it lets them come back to class more ready to learn and less fidgety.” For a real life example of the impact that increased recess can have, read this article entitled, "Texas School Triples Recess Time and Sees Immediate Positive Results in Kids": http://www.playgroundprofessionals.com/news/play/texas-school-triples-recess-time-and-sees-immediate-positive-results-kids101 Some of the links referenced above: http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/131/1/183 http://study.com/academy/lesson/benefits-of-recess-for-elementary-school-children.html http://healthland.time.com/2012/12/31/yay-for-recess-pediatricians-say-its-as-important-as-math-or-reading/ PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION SO WE CAN GARNER SUPPORT FROM DR. RATH (Collegium's CEO) TO GIVE OUR KIDS MORE RECESS!211 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Leslie Simboli
