We need a reasonably priced grocery store in our neighborhood.

I've started this petition because my younger daughter will be allowed to ride the school bus for K-2 (starting next year) but my 3rd grader has aged out. The bus stops on our corner with empty seats. I have since been hearing a ton of anecdotal evidence about parents in similar situations. Let's apply some common sense to bussing!

The students of the American Indian Association at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) would like to call attention to the Christopher Columbus statue on the campus of UAB. In school, we are taught that he was the brave hero who discovered the Americas, but the legacy of Columbus is not one to be celebrated. In reality, the effects of Columbus's colonization severely harmed the Native American population and led to the genocide of millions. This led to historical discrimination and mistreatment of Indigenous Peoples that still remains today. Columbus is not a representative of diversity, but he is instead a representative of white-washed American history. The Columbus statue is located on the terrace of the UAB Smolian International House. UAB is one of the top ranking universities in the United States of America for diversity and this statue represents neither UAB nor our current diversity. We suggest that the UAB administrators, faculty, students, and staff remove this statue and replace it with a statue that better represents the diversity of our campus! Please sign your name and list your zip code on our petition, which we will present to the UAB administrators, faculty, students, and staff.

HOUSE BILL 1892 - MA Insurance Coverage for Natural Healthcare - Sponsored by Representative Garrett Bradley and Senator Jason Lewis THANK YOU! Dear Legislator, 3/12/15 I think it’s time for a change in Massachusetts. I believe in preventive healthcare, and since I am required to pay for “health insurance” I think insurance companies should be required to cover services provided by naturopathic and holistic practitioners. I am in your district and would like you to stand up for Natural Healthcare. House Bill 1892 which is in The Joint Committee of Public Health deserves your support. Respectfully,

Dangerous precedents are being set. Trucks are hauling redwoods out on an hourly basis, day and night in California. Wineries are intruding where we need erosion control. They are in direct conflict with the health of the Gualala River with their toxic runoff, as well as other watersheds north of the bay area. Redwoods are an endemic species, that is, found growing no where else naturally but California. If the redwoods interfere with vineyards, vineyards can go somewhere else, anywhere nearly, and grow grapes. California is a great asset to the states, and to the world at large.

Neighbors and I are getting sick and uncleanliness is a health concern.

In their rush to extract every last drop of gas from the shale fields of West Virginia, Dominion and their allies have kicked off a race to build four new pipeline projects across the Blue Ridge and Appalachian regions of Virginia and West Virginia. Each of these projects would trigger more fracking, destroy our neighbors’ lands, require dangerous new compressor stations, and unleash a new pulse of greenhouse gas pollution. Together, these projects -- Dominion’s Atlantic Coast Pipeline, the Mountain Valley Pipeline, the Appalachian Connector, and the WB Xpress Project -- would be an absolute disaster for our climate and communities. That’s why the Chesapeake Climate Action Network, alongside allies like the Appalachian Mountain Advocates, the Virginia Sierra Club, the Allegheny-Blue Ridge Alliance, and dozens of local groups, is calling on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to complete a single, comprehensive regional review of the impacts of ALL FOUR fracked gas pipelines. Left to its own devices, we know that FERC will evaluate these pipelines in a vacuum. But the only way to understand the true cost of these dangerous projects is to evaluate them together. In fact, FERC has a legal obligation to do a single, comprehensive review of ALL related projects in a single geographic region. Dominion filed its federal application to build the 564-mile, $5.1 billion Atlantic Coast Pipeline in mid-September. A joint venture of companies led by EQT Partners filed their application for the second major pipeline, the Mountain Valley Pipeline, in mid-October. We need to speak out now. This is our chance to hold FERC accountable, and derail an unprecedented expansion of fracked gas infrastructure across our beautiful region.

To make the Planning and Zoning Board aware of the number of residents that are opposed to the proposed man camp.

Having guns everywhere puts our families at risk. Please keep our families safe and sign this petition.

Spectra Energy’s plan to build the Algonquin Pipeline Expansion represents an attack on our community. Spectra has proposed a 42 inch, high pressure shale gas pipeline that would run within 100 feet of Indian Point nuclear facilities. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has continually ignored the calls of citizens and elected officials for independent health and safety assessments of the massive Algonquin Pipeline Expansion - giving Spectra Energy notice to proceed with construction, while blocking attempts by citizens to reverse their decision. Noted nuclear and pipeline safety experts have testified that the pipeline poses a serious risk to Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant, on which many depend for employment, and within the evacuation zone of which millions live and work. Pipeline construction will necessitate Spectra/Algonquin to forcibly take private and public lands by use of eminent domain (or the threat of such action). Construction will snarl traffic, damage roads and infrastructure, and leave local taxpayers to foot the bill. It will clear cut thousands of trees and destroy acres of public park lands. Under normal operating conditions, the massive pipeline left behind will spew pollution into the air we breathe, contributing to already poor air quality, diminishing property values, and harming our way of life. In the worst case scenario this pipeline will place thousands at risk should it rupture in our densely populated communities. The pipeline will be only 400ft from Buchanan-Verplanck Elementary School's 300 students. Our first responders will be expected to risk their lives to respond to an accident. Finally, We recognize that expanding the delivery of fracked gas in any form commits us to a future that not only destroys our health, food sources, and landscape, but threatens sustainable jobs, locking working families into ever escalating home-maintenance expenses that will crush the average budget. *Signers of this petition will also be asked to join others in our communities, and engage in acts of civil disobedience to protect the land, water, and land by directly stopping this proposed pipeline expansion project. We make this pledge for all who are living today, as well as for all future generations.

Some people on Disability do not drive, so we see no benefit from "lower gas prices" and we are tired of being the punching bags of the GOP, when we have real challenges just to survive!

To get justice in the USA. Due to deportation, I am going to lose all my Social Security Benefits. Who knew I would be deported after 30 years and lose all benefits?
