I am starting this petition because I have family members who are veterans, friends who are veterans, and work for and with veterans who have received honorable and general discharges and wish they could get the same privileges of shopping on military installations due to their service to the United States of America. Some folks could not make it to retirement status due to disabilities, which they do not receive 100% compensation for and some may have had a family member that they needed to care for because their superiors would not grant a hardship for. Please take this petition and consider it. Veterans deserve to be treated equally and veterans who do not have dishonorable discharges deserve military installations privileges

The Wisconsin budget proposes a $300 million cut to the University of Wisconsin System. This cut will hurt communities across the state. Tell your state senator to stop the $300 million cut to the UW System.

I am a professor and see the huge amount of waste firsthand.

Across the nation, states are moving towards easing marijuana penalties to fight back against prison overcrowding and save taxpayer dollars. But, right now, possession of more than 4 ounces of marijuana is considered a felony in Arkansas, punishable by up to 6 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. It's time to change this.

I am concerned about the waste in our country. Our charities are desperate for food, our landfills are filling up at alarming rates. I'm encouraged by the French parliament's unanimous approval of this new law and think that this can be replicated all over the world.

I'm Deaf/hoh. I support all childrens access to language access!

I was motivated to start this petition by the Honors Program "Capstone Seminar" research, born out of Spring Term 2015 at Lane Community College.

We are Portland residents who care deeply about our children's education and value the opportunities and benefits of our community-based, walkable, neighborhood schools. The proposed idea to close Longfellow and Hall Schools and combine the two districts into a large, consolidated school at an undisclosed location is in direct opposition to the School District’s previous goal of creating the best small “urban” school district by 2017.

Our Governor is making vicious attacks on the American middle class, taking our hard-earned dollars and squandering them by giving them to Big Corporations. When does all of the child play and greed stop?

Our tenth grade son was subjected to faulty curricular planning by his history teacher as she was allowed to present a movie with nudity and sexual content without the knowledge of my wife and I. Local public school boards, Principals, and Site Based Management Teams should never agree to allow the showing of cinematic media that is inclusive of content that goes against the discretion of parents, especially when the psychological and emotional welfare of minors are at stake. Parents should always be given notice well in advance, which inquires and requires their permission.

I was Director of Pediatric Emergency Medicine at a top NY Hospital. Budget cuts and hospital mergers cut staff. When care was not safe I as always put my Patients best interest first as I should, however the Hospital runs as a business even if it cost lives. I was told to shut up or I will be destroyed for life. I was removed from schedule, my personal belongings taken, my sick time, all benefits forfeited and my life destroyed. We must have a "Good Samaritan law to protect Morally sound Hospital based Physicians"

I am a concerned citizen and I am personally affected by the lack of water here in Los Angeles. Preserving our natural water should be a top priority. Stopping external companies from bottling and exporting our own water is one step in this direction.
