Senator Pan and Allen introduced SB277 to the California State Legislator, and if passed the bill would remove fundamental medical liberty. SB277 is written to guarantee future profits for the Pharmaceutical industry. SB277 is a threat to freedom and human dignity. This bill needs to be stopped and Pan and Allen must be removed from office.

Our community has been given a national black eye by Livingston County Republicans who mocked a grieving father, Vice President Joe Biden. This is the video: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/ted-cruz-joe-biden-joke This sort of crass behavior hurts our national politics. The Livingston Republican party must apologize.

Kentucky citizens and consumers should be allowed the expectation that their loved ones will be treated with the same dignity and respect in death as they are in life. Kentucky State Law should provide regulated protection in upholding the sanctity of the handling and disposition of human remains and the preservation of final resting places. Ky law should require and ensure that ALL deceased be accorded equal treatment and respect for human dignity without reference to ethnic origins, cultural backgrounds, or religious affiliations. The cemetery industry and operations in Kentucky, should be declared to affect the public health, safety, and well-being of its citizens and to be subject to regulation and control in the public interest. The FTC monitors and regulates funeral homes, but cemetery legislation is nearly "non-existent"

Media should NOT be in the business of choosing the party nominee for President. Senator Bernie Sanders deserved equal air time to Secretary Hillary Clinton. As Sanders surges in the polls, it grows increasingly discordant that MSNBC's news programming focuses almost solely on Hillary Clinton's campaign. Please join us in demanding MSNBC do its job.

The liberal media is doing its best to ignore the most viable candidate in the race, 80% of Republicans agree with Bernie Sanders on Citizens United and getting big money out of government. Sanders is surging in the polls. Moveon.org and other progressive organizations need to move on this, and support this amazing Presidential candidate.

C.P.S. employees have the power to heavily influence the removal of your child/children from your home, temporarily or permanently. The removal of a child from a family is a serious event, which permanently scars the minds of all those involved, as well as friends and relatives. One would think this power to severely disrupt the lives of thousands of families across the U.S. would have a lawful system of checks and balances. I speak for thousands of people when I say this system lacks proper oversight. I have started this petition in hopes of influencing a new law, making it mandatory for C.P.S. employees to wear body cameras when visiting a family's home. A body camera on every C.P.S. worker who visited a family's home would prove or disprove the allegations made against the family in question. The objective recording of the C.P.S. worker's visit would accelerate the process of separating a child from a potential life-threatening environment, while keeping upright families from getting completely engrossed in family courtrooms.

The lake at Earvin Magic Johnson Park is disturbingly filthy and the stench it generates is even more horrible. Every time my family and I pass by we have to hold in our breath. The people who visit Magic Johnson Park should be able to go to park and enjoy a fresh breeze.

To bring awareness on the situation of Dominicans of Haitian Descent and Haitian Migrants in the Dominican Republic who are facing massive deportation without due process.

House Bill 4052 would take power away from communities in order to protect corporate profits. Special interests shouldn't be allowed to overturn decisions they don't like made by local governments, but now they're trying to prevent local laws that reflect our values, like making our workplaces healthier and requiring community benefit agreements when taxpayer resources are used in development projects. Tell Gov. Snyder to veto HB 4052 and protect local progress today.

Americans should not have to pay their hard-earned tax dollars to wealthy multinational corporations to conduct business activity abroad. Eliminating the Ex-Im Bank has garnered public support from across the political spectrum, but the largest and most powerful multinational corporations and institutions, such as Boeing and the Chamber of Commerce, have continued to pressure Congress to uphold the subsidies and preserve the status quo. For lawmakers looking to eliminate waste and get our fiscal house in order, the Export-Import Bank should be at the top of the list. With the bank’s charter expiration date set for June 30th, Congress simply needs to do nothing. We need to make sure Congress makes the right choice to let the Export-Import Bank expire, and act in the public interest. (1) http://reut.rs/1umaXLf, http://1.usa.gov/1INucEl

Gary, Indiana is the only city on the Great Lakes Saint Lawrence Seaway System in the United States & Canada without a public access fishing spot. The average resident of Gary lives below the poverty level and can only take a staycation in Lake County Indiana. In Lake County Indiana, there are approx. 95,318 people who live below the poverty level. There is too much despair and nothing to do or anywhere to go but to the casino that purchased our fishing piers and will not allow us to fish on them. https://medium.com/@silasgsconiers/no-equal-opportunity-to-fish-in-lake-michigan-in-gary-indiana-5bc727af3cd

My husband and I were hoping to move closer to Chicago in order to have better success in finding additional jobs as well as saving money on traveling. Over the past few months, rentals we have looked at either in the newspaper or online have skyrocketed. Tiny apartments, with few amenities and allowances for pets such as cats, are more than the rent we pay currently for a reasonably-sized home. This petition is for hard-working, fixed income persons and their families to rally the local and state government to force landlords to lower rents and cap the rents in consideration to those who rent and are not section 8 candidates.
