We must put a stop to The Trans-Pacific Partnership. This agreement will greatly empower Corporations by virtually eliminating consumer, health, safety, labor, privacy and environmental regulations.

This petition is being started, and should be a clarion call for the People to do a similar petition in their respective states. For too long our primary election process in Kentucky has been closed to those who are not main-stream or popular with the political establishment. Candidates for elected office, who are really good, are being deliberately and effectually overlooked by the voters of our state because they are not regarded as popular or friendly with the political party establishment or power brokers. Not too long ago I was reading an article from http://voteforbernie.org/ - Just Copy & Paste this Link in your Web Browser in order to see what is being discussed here. The political market is being cornered everyday: http://www.aclu-ky.org/article/voting-rights/ - Just Copy & Paste this Link in your Web Browser in order to see what is being discussed here. Our vote and voters, as well as future voters, are being oppressed. IF you are not popular or considered main- stream by the political establishment, you are out of luck, especially in Kentucky. And if you are not main-stream or friendly with political party power brokers, the likelihood of you getting on the ballot in the Commonwealth of Kentucky is slim to none - http://lwv.org/our-work - and this MUST END. These things are arcane and restrictive to a voter or potential voter who may not wish to align themselves with a main-stream political party. That is why we need free, fair and open elections - primary and general elections, throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky and across the United States of America - to ENSURE that our voices and our choices are heard. More voices and more choices equals Democracy! IF you are a Voter, a Concerned Citizen or BOTH, please join with me in OPENING the Primary Process in Our State. Thank you! -- David R. Davidson P.S.

Macon's City Center (2nd Street) should honor and highlight the best of what Macon has to offer. The confederate statute that currently fills the place is not a reflection of Macon now, and certainly not of our future. Sign this petition if you support replacing the confederate statue with the Otis Redding Statute or a combined community art piece led by artist representing neighborhoods from across Macon-Bibb.

It's absolutely ridiculous that we let the food industry get away with the shenanigans that we refused to put up with from the tobacco industry. It's time we recognize the damage done and hold those responsible accountable.

Water is a RIGHT and belongs to the people - WATER IS NOT A PRIVILEGE NOR A COMMODITY!

I was denied a grain dealers license, State of Louisiana, Starting July 1, 2015. I met all qualifications, including proof of funds. The farming community in Louisiana requested me to obtain grain dealers licensure to sell rice. Harvest season is eminent this year with last years grain still in holding bins. This drives the prices further down. Farmers cannot profit or even sell= bankruptcy or no rice farming. I need a license now not in several months after harvest season. I am a female, and minority business owner denied a license and denied the right to conduct rice sales.

My daughter was killed by her abusive spouse. Other people could be spared such a fate if more information about their potential partners were easily accessible.

I am starting this petition because I have personally experienced the need for aid and I am deeply offended by the sector of the population who acts as if we are taking food from their mouths all these programs require income to be coming into the home and not everyone on these programs is a drug addict or using it for fraudulent purposes. I also think that just because you are poor doesn't mean you shouldn't have children or necessities like healthy food. I am ashamed of my country because it has come to this. What next, mass genocide of the poor?

My husband Dan has 17 year old autistic twins. We received over 14,000 signatures to help defend the rights of the Intellectually Disabled community of Connecticut earlier this year. The previous petition helped to mobilize a community of parents, workers, aids, etc. to take a stance again Governor Malloy's dramatic proposed cuts. After seeing the budget battle and how this community was short changed, these pay increase are especially offensive. We need to make a very strong statement and tell Governor Malloy this is NOT OK.

I fell in love with the Brooklyn Bridge the first time I laid eyes on it. The Brooklyn Bridge is a worldwide icon and a National Historic Landmark. Toll Brothers should honor the agreement they made with the Brooklyn community to limit the height of the building so that people from around the world can continue to see the view of the Brooklyn Bridge from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, as they always have. This view should remain free for everyone in the world, not limited only to billionaires who buy a condo in this oversized building monstrosity.

Today, Californians are paying 62 million dollars a year for 35 years to rent one courthouse in Long Beach California that appears that it was the product of bid rigging. For several years, Californians were paying unlicensed contractors obscene amounts of money to remodel, renovate and maintain every courthouse in the state until whistleblowers, unprotected by state law blew the whistle and lost their jobs. Over 2,500 court workers have lost their jobs, over 200 courtrooms have been closed and over 50 courthouses have been shut down, including brand new courthouses that were recently built for millions of dollars under this program. The lines at most courthouses now wrap around the block and some citizens must travel over 180 miles to get to their nearest courthouse. California is the only state in America where the judicial branch performs an executive branch function of developing and managing state real estate without a hint of oversight or accountability and this must end immediately. But it must start with an audit authorized by the Joint Legislative Audit Committee of the State Legislature. Time is short - all requests for audits must be received by the joint legislative audit committee no later than August 4th 2015.

It is an insult and hurtful to millions of Americans and Floridians that have to pass this symbol of the war against the United States by Southern states to withdraw from the Union and to retain slavery.
