Since 2009, Weymouth Public Schools have either been underfunded or barely funded, based upon the minimum Net School Spending requirement as determined by the state of MA. Since the override failure on 8/4/15, it has been reported that SouthField, which was hoped to have infused some funding into the town, would not be fully built out for another 12-14 years. In addition, the recently released Weymouth District Review Report done by Mass.gov basically states that Weymouth has great plans and structures in place but doesn't have the staff or funds to execute them. Although there is optimism for Weymouth’s fiscal future, it does not help the children and staff that are in school right NOW. Please show your support of properly funding the Weymouth Public School system NOW by signing this petition.

Vacaville's teachers and community partners are proud to stand behind John Jansen and we urge the VUSD board to appoint him to the vacant seat on October 15th!

In August D.C. regulators unanimously rejected the Pepco-Exelon merger because the deal was an inherent conflict of interest. Thousands of D.C. residents voiced their opposition to the merger—many speaking out against Exelon's distressing history of working against clean energy solutions like solar—and more than half of D.C.'s ANCs passed resolutions opposing the merger. Clearly, D.C. does NOT want Exelon. Unbelievably, despite this clear rejection by both regulators and the public, Mayor Bowser cut a back room deal with Exelon. Now she is pushing it through the Public Service Commission with an "expedited" process. The Public Service Commission must open a new case to examine the proposed merger in light of this settlement. Anything less would be a failure of due process and puts our climate and energy economy at risk.

I am starting this petition not to further our spiral into a more and more litigious society, but to get the attention of the firearm industry and make them understand the depth and breadth of the issues caused by lack of responsibility by gun sellers. Sadly the fastest way to do that is to hit them in the wallet. Imagine how powerful it would be to have the influence and money of the Gun Lobby on the side of gun reform. I am also tired of sending thoughts and prayers to mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and all the others whose lives are forever changed by the lack of responsibility among us. We need to take a stand. Make a promise and act. Don't talk about what needs to be done. Do it.

I am tired of reading about mass shootings and how everyone deflects to media, mental health, and excuses. Fine. Fix those other things, too. But for the improvement of our supposedly civil nation--get laws in place for better gun safety. There is a more intense process for learning to drive than there is for purchasing, owning, and using guns. We must start somewhere. Get gun manufacturers, the NRA, and others helping. Nobody is saying you can't be a responsible gun owner. Help the citizens of New Hampshire to force these organizations to be accountable.

I am sick and tired of hearing about all of the shooting deaths that occur in my city, state, and country. There is too much death and destruction in this world. Let's do our part to end it by starting right here at home in Ohio. There is simply no need for guns in a civilized society.

I am a concerned citizen and mother whose is just beyond frustrated with the fact that guns have become more important than our children's lives!

This deal in my opinion is a power grab to overregulate the internet to its detriment, bypass the laws of sovereign nations, and crush the rights of individuals around the world. As an informed citizen, I feel that it is my duty to voice my opinion and state that this deal will be worse than NAFTA for the average citizen. I urge other citizens and members of Congress to vote No on this deal.

This is about getting what the descendants of slaves are owed. Every race, except Africans, have received and continue to receive reparations for what was wrongfully done to their ancestors.

Please Stand Up and Demand that the media STOP posting pictures and telling the stories of the sick gunmen that are terrorizing our country!! Talk about the event and tell the stories of the heros and victims instead! The Oregon gunman was quoted on the news for posts he put out about other shootings stating "A man once totally unknown is known by all" and "The more you kill, the more limelight you get" This was confirmed by our media by posting his picture over and over talking about where he lived, why he did it, etc... etc... They need to STOP giving these sickos what they want, a national forum for people to know their name!! WE NEED TO STAND UP AND DEMAND THIS!! The media is literally encouraging future acts of mass violence against other innocent people with all of their coverage on these sickos... THEY ARE ENCOURAGING IT!! PLEASE WE NEED TO ALL STAND UP AND DEMAND A CHANGE!! FOR ALL OF OUR SAKE!!!

In Michigan, most women are becoming the primary money makers at an increasing rate. With this in mind, we need to make it a priority to insure that women are not being discriminated against in the workplace. By supporting the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act you are holding company's accountable for discriminatory behaviors.

Having both a grand-daughter and a grandfather murdered by mentally unstable persons, I believe we need to enforce sensible restrictions on gun ownership in order to save lives.
