Save Planned ParenthoodPlanned Parenthood is a lifeline for millions of women, providing cancer screenings, contraception, and basic preventive health care to women across the country. Access to these basic necessities is already limited, at best, and cutting off Planned Parenthood would make their acquisition all but impossible for many women.50 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ryan Ridenour

Gov. Brown: End Cash Bail in California.On August 27, law enforcement officials across Northern California began arresting more than 30 bail bondsmen from seven different bail bond companies on charges that they illegally rewarded jail inmates with money for providing information about individuals newly entering the jails. The alleged corruption illustrates an important danger of the cash bail system, in which access to money—rather than risk—determines who stays in jail pretrial. No one should ever be held in jail simply because they are too poor to put up an arbitrary amount set by the courts. Jail should be reserved for people who pose a danger to our communities, or are a flight risk. No one should be able to prey on and exploit defendants simply because they are poor. Across America, jurisdictions are moving toward detention decisions based on risk, rather than money. More than 75 percent of voters support risk-based detention and believe it works. Governor Brown: You know California’s bail system is broken, and you have not yet taken action to fix it. End cash bail. -Cherise Fanno Burdeen of the Pretrial Justice Institute135 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Cherise Fanno Burdeen

Make it illegal to include tax when calculating a server's tip shareServer's everywhere should be concerned as their employer may be calculating their tip share including local taxes. Servers pay tip share simply because restaurant owners and corporations do not want to have to pay labor, so they make the servers pay it. This is why it should be illegal to include tax when calculating tip share.30 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tonya Sanderson

Petition Mary Fallin to remove the minimum wage increase ban in Oklahoma.My wife and I and many of our friends have to work multiple jobs upwards of 60 hours a week just to get the bills paid--and we can't afford groceries afterwards. We have to get our groceries from church food drives. We don't have kids so we can't get food stamps. Your citizens shouldn't work 60 hours a week to starve. Raise the ban on minimum wage increase.107 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Andrew Bamford

Federal Mandatory Guidelines Sentencing: Help Youthful, Nonviolent, and First Time OffendersThe Petition was created on Move On's Petition site and states, "Pre-Determined Federal Prison Sentencing Guidelines are determined and based solely on the weight of the drug and not on an individual's case, background or morals. The guidelines are creating a "one size fits all" punishment. This means that in thousands of cases every year the punishment does not fit the crime nor the person. " My son, Terry Matthew Hall, was interrogated by Federal Agents, SBI Agents, and other Law Enforcement Agencies as a teenager in September of 2014 in reference to some alleged illegal drug activity that had been going on in Johnston County...Smithfield, NC for quite some time. Law enforcement and citizens in this County are well known as to what these people had been doing for generations.The Federal and State Agents assisted by local Law Enforcement officers ( Narcotic Division in that County) had been doing a two year investigation on some much older, lifetime criminals in this particular County. While being interrogated about any alleged activity my son was very cooperative.. He was scared and highly intimated so he thought if he "told them the truth" that he could come home. He had no lawyer present, and at such a young age wasn't even thinking on that level.This is a trend and happens to so many of young teens and what they don't realize is "they do need an attorney present!" His attorney told me if he had asked for an attorney to be present he would not be where he is sitting today. But, under peer pressure at such a young age they fold, only to incriminate themselves. He did not get to come home and was arrested right there where the interrogation took place.They arrested him on that day for "Conspiracy", simply because he knew what was allegedly going on. At the beginning of the Federal investigation he was only 16 years old and was introduced to a highly addictive drug by older, well known criminals. He now sits in a maximum security jail where he has been for over a year on 20 hours lock down per day due to his addiction and poor decision making. His lawyer states to me that due to Federal guidelines he is facing 30 years to life. Please print this petition on behalf of him and other youthful, nonviolent offenders who may also be affected by this. Federal Prison Bureau Nonviolent Offender Relief Act of 2015 H.R. 71. Our family is devastated by these guidelines.My son was lost in an addiction at 16 years old. He was introduced to this POWERFUL additive drug by a group of notorious criminals. He got involved with some really bad people, made some poor decisions, and violated the law.This case should be reviewed due to the age of this child, No Attorney was representing him and both him and his family have suffered beyond any sentence this child could ever receive. I pray God has mercy on the souls sentencing these children under this Federal requirement. We are losing young souls that can be rehabilitated.Matt was under major peer pressure. He would never physically harm an individual. Matt is a good life long friend of mine, it devastates me to think that I won't get to see his future unfold. Everyone makes bad choices in life, so, shouldn't we be willing to allow some slack for more adolescent offenders? After all, a one size fits all policy is not JUST. Matthew can be a great person, he has great people and family that love and care about him, He can get him a job, and get on the right path. He was working at 14 years old with a workers permit. But, how long will a youthful child stay sane enough to come out and make this change? If you put offenders in the environment and shove them away like nobody cares and they pretty much don't have a shot at "life" you're only making matters worse for a young offender. Help them. Care about them! I know Terry Matthew Hall can and will become a responsible citizen if given a chance. Of course he needs to be punished, but not for his entire life!

DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz: #AllowDebate!Donald Trump and the Republicans made their case to a TV audience of 24 million in August, while the Democrats are silent until mid-October. Democrats in Iowa are being asked to make their decision after only 4 debates. Restricting candidates from debating the issues is undemocratic, and it hurts the candidates and voters who must decide who to support without enough information.
