  • Erie County Legislature: Keep the Closing Time at 4am!
    The closing time of bars in Erie County has been 4am since prohibition ended. We are a community that is growing with a city that has thousands of folks at work in the hospitality industry. Why would we want to cut the hours where people can make a living when there are more and more people working different hours who are moving into our region? Keep the closing times where they are and let individual business owners decide if they want to close earlier!

  • Decriminalize recreational cannabis!
    Thousands of young people in our state are affected by these outdated laws. We need to move on to the 21st century and demand our local legislators and governor Martinez to take action. We need to follow the lead of Colorado and Washington that have been benefiting immensely from the sales of cannabis. They are putting all of this new generated income, that would otherwise go to a Mexican cartel, and putting it into education and rebuilding their infrastructure. This is exactly what out state needs, being one of the poorest states in this country for decades now, we can take this opportunity and make New Mexico a thriving state for all. Not only can we improve the local economy, but we can stop destroying the lives of thousands of young people that get thrown in prison for having a cannabis "offence". Alcohol has proven to be one of the most dangerous drugs in our country, taking the lives of thousands in our state, yet it is legally sold and regulated. We ask for the same treatment for a much more mild substance that hasn't ever killed anyone. We need common sense laws that aren't based on an outdated and ignorant mentally. Tell your local legislators and governor Martinez to act now because this is exactly what we need in our state!

  • Free Otto Warmbier
    Detained for the "crime" of having outspoken American ideals, Otto Warmbier has been subject to unjustified imprisonment and disgraceful violation of his civil liberties by the Repressed People's Dictatorship of North Korea. This cannot continue. We must protect the freedom of our citizens abroad. The United States government must pursue any and all diplomatic action to secure Otto Warmbrier's freedom.

    We are tired of fighting for our jobs every year with this threat of selling us out! If this goes through, next up for outsourcing will be nurses, office help, and before you know it, they will have rent-a-teacher...STOP IT NOW! Too many are working behind the scenes, drawing HUGE salaries that need job re-evaluation. The board needs to PERSONALLY evaluate this situation, they will see all avenues have NOT BEEN PURSUED!!

  • McDonalds - Stop Asking If I Want A Boy or Girl Toy
    My son Khristian wanted me to help him start this petition : My son Khristian likes McDonalds. He also happens to like toys that you label as being for girls. We always get asked if his Happy Meal is for a boy or a girl. It's obviously for a boy, but maybe he wants the toy that comes in the girls meal. Tonight, when asked this question, we asked instead, what toys were available. He picked Shopkins. When he got his meal he looked inside and it was a fairy toy, presumably, the one that was a replacement for a girl. This led us to a conversation about why they always ask if it's for a boy or a girl. He likes what he likes and isn't afraid to ask for a toy labeled for a girl, but he thought, that if they just gave a choice between the toys available, that other little boys and girls, might also feel comfortable asking for the toy that they want, rather than the toy society says is the right one for them. Please sign his petition to request McDonald's starts asking for a toy choice based on the toy options rather than on the child's gender.

  • Tell Florida Lawmakers: Reject Legislation Inspired by Donald Trump's Racism
    Donald Trump's racism and bigotry is being welcomed with open arms by Florida Republicans. Right now, Republican legislators are trying to enact two pieces of legislation inspired by Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric - further spreading fear and xenophobia across Florida. Both of these proposals are nothing more than attacks on immigrant families, and would place undue burden on local governments, school districts, and law enforcement across the state of Florida. One of the proposals, sponsored by Republican Representative Carlos Trujillo of Miami, would charge immigrants with a third-degree felony if they violate a deportation order. The second proposal, sponsored by Republican Representative Larry Metz of Yalaha, would fine local government, law enforcement and school personnel who do not report undocumented immigrants. I am sick and tired of politicians attacking immigrant communities! Neither of these bills seek to find a common sense solution to address our nation’s broken immigration system, and would only undermine the trust between immigrant communities and local law enforcement. An editorial from the Tampa Bay Times recently called these proposals “burdensome” and told the Florida Legislature that immigration policy “should be addressed by Washington,” not Tallahasse. Florida politicians should not get a free pass as they attack immigrant communities. Please join me and tell Florida Legislators to reject anti-immigrant legislation inspired by Donald Trump.

  • Repeal the death penalty in Delaware
    I was born and raised in Wisconsin, which does not have a death penalty, and followed arguments in favor and against for many years now. It has never been shown to have a deterrent effect, only to provide revenge, which does nothing for elevating the citizenry. As the state senate has passed the repeal and the governor has agreed to support, we only need the Delaware House to approve the repeal so that Delaware can stand with the other states which have eliminated this barbaric act.
