• Citizenship for expatriate children
    My children have grown up in Europe as bicultural bilinguals; America is their "other" home. They are 49er fans, prefer reading in English and are indistinguishable from US-based Americans their own age. But their children - my grandchildren - will be denied citizenship unless my kids spend 5 continuous years in the US, which may or may not suit their career plans. This is unfair.

  • PROSECUTE THE BANKS
    Stop Bank corruption right now. Lets send a message to CONGRESS: SUSPEND the proposed sale of One West Bank to CIT Group until there is a full investigation of the homeowner complaints with AN INDEPENDENT COMMISSION LIKE THE WATERGATE COMMISSION. STOP the biggest ROBBERY in the History of the U.S. Right this moment, you can help stop the outrageous flow of BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars from the FDIC into One West Bank, and in turn into CIT Group....those misdirected funds can feed a lot of people, pay student loans, help military families, and fix a lot of highways and bridges. This money belongs to THE PEOPLE...not to 5 men owning One West Bank. SIGN this Petition, please. This is a battle for the future of our Democracy.

    Many of us had the dream of getting an education that would lead to a better future; instead we were scammed, have degrees that are worthless, and are deep in debt.

  • Governor Mike Pence and Attorney General Greg Zoeller: End Indiana's Opposition to DAPA
    On behalf of the Northern Indiana Coalition For Immigration Reform, we call upon Indiana Governor Mike Pence and Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller to withdraw our state's amicus filing in the Federal case of Texas v United States that seeks to end President Obama's executive order providing administrative relief for millions of immigrants. We further call upon our state's government to join with those states, cities, Members of Congress, Labor and community organizations that are calling upon Federal courts to uphold President Obama's executive order that established the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) and the expansion of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). It does not serve the interests of the people of Indiana for our state to seek to overturn President Obama's executive order that will allow immigrant families to stay together, come out of the shadows and be full members of our communities.

  • Stop Criminalizing Homelessness
    As our economy continues to tank, more and more people are finding themselves without shelter and food security. At the same time businesses and municipalities are creating and building obstacles and edifice-additions that discourage and prevent people desperate for shelter and rest from using those spaces.

  • Save Tindal Park
    As "fiscal stewards" for the taxpayers of Greenville County, SC, the Greenville County School Board wants to sell a decades old park to make a quick buck. As taxpayers, WE would pay for the initial development of the infrastructure. What we would spend in the long run would be far greater than an immediate $2.5 million gain. We would spend more, have more traffic and lose precious green space. Remember, once green spaces are developed, they do not come back. Keep the green in Greenville! www.savetindalpark.com

  • Support Blind Vendors in California
    My nephew Gary Crocker is a blind vendor for a roadside rest area. His sight is a challenge even under the best conditions. The purpose of AB 1353 is to amend the California Streets and Highways Code eliminating the current discriminatory practices by the California Department of Transportation on the blind Safety Roadside Rest Area vendors of the Business Enterprises Program. Currently blind SRRA vendors participating in the BEP are being discriminated against regarding the operational expenses of the BEP vending facilities at the state's safety roadside rest areas. Supporting AB 1353 will correct this injustice that has been allowed in burdening hard working blind individuals participating in this state program for the blind.
