Save our teacher, Brandon Stumpf, from budget cutMr. Stumpf is one of the most talented and dedicated teachers at the Londonderry Middle School. He inspires our children and encourages and promotes their creativity. He boosts their confidence and is concerned about developing the whole child. Whether in the classroom or out on the field, Mr. Stumpf is a positive male role model. He has made a lasting impact on a generation of our children. It is essential that this community work hard to retain such a powerful force in our school rather than let him go in the district's planned "reduction in force."1,047 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Joy Buzzell

Give Us The Rail: MetroRail to South Dade Now!In 2002, the South Miami-Dade community was promised Metro-Rail services. After over a decade of broken promises, we have decided to take action. With the fastest growing population in South Miami-Dade County, commuting by vehicle and bus has become an unbearable attack on our quality of life. South Miami-Dade County calls upon Miami-Dade County Transit, MDX, and the MPO, to deliver Metro Rail services to South Miami-Dade. As a result of broken promises made to the people of South Miami-Dade, the following situations have occurred: • A round trip from Florida City to Downtown Miami costs an estimated $15.28 in gas and tolls per vehicle. • For those working fulltime on minimum wage, the costs of driving can cost residents up to 24% of their yearly take home pay. • The drive from Florida City to Downtown Miami can frequently take up to two hours. • Florida City residents who commute to Downtown Miami spend an estimated 500 hours a year just commuting to work. • It takes a child four hours (round trip) to visit the Perez Art Museum from Florida City by bus. • It takes a Florida City resident up to six hours (round trip) to use Miami-Dade Transit/bus to reach the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA). • It takes almost a three hour trip on Miami-Dade Transit/bus (one way) to reach FIU MMC Campus from Florida City. • Traffic congestion is persistent on US1 and with the expected growth in the South will only get worse. South Miami-Dade communities of Florida City, Homestead, Pinecrest, Cutler Bay, Palmetto Bay, & Unincorporated Dade, stand together in our resolve for equal access to all that Miami-Dade County has to offer its citizens.770 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Kionne McGhee

Legalize window tintRhode Island is the only state in New England that doesn't allow any type of window tint on passenger vehicles. There are many functional benefits to having window tint. Better driving- Driving with the sun directly in your face isn't just an annoyance – it can be deadly. Car window tint shields your eyes and prevents glare from all sources of extreme light so you’ll never be caught driving badly due to no fault of your own. UV Blocking- Car window tinting blocks up to 99% of the sun’s harmful UV rays. If you’re in the car for extended periods, car window tinting is important for protecting you and loved ones from cancer-causing UV rays. UV protection comes in various grades, and you don’t need to have windows significantly darkened to block UV. Heat Control- In addition to UV, the sun also tends to create uncomfortable heat inside your car. Since car window tinting also blocks up to 71% of solar energy, you can easily stay comfortable and prevent expensive overuse of the AC Safety-Tint helps to keep your car’s window from shattering upon impact with an object or in the event of an accident. This can go a long way to protecting the health and lives of your passengers if anything unexpected happens on the road. Theft Prevention- Car window tinting also protects from car theft. Security tint makes car windows more durable, and, since broken glass is held together, even a thief that succeeds in breaking a window is still faced with a solid panel of glass and film. hundreds of cars are broken into yearly because of visible objects in cars. As a Rhode Island resident I strongly believe window tint can help reduce the numbers of vehicles broken into yearly, number of accidents caused by sun glare in morning and evening commute, and bring in business and jobs to window tinting parlors.977 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by RAMON TORRES

Attorney General Holder: Apprehend Senators for TreasonThroughout President Obama's presidency the Republican Party has treated him with utter disrespect. They have pushed the limits of decorum on many occasions but this is an act of TREASON and everyone of them needs to be apprehended by Attorney General Eric Holder. If he does not, then our Constitution means nothing and the Republicans will continue to believe that they are above the law. Their letter indicates that they will not follow any agreement the President might make with Iran which in itself is another act that breaks International Law. These Senators are an embarrassment, as well as being traitors and need to be removed from office immediately.31 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Penelope Curtis

Rep. Tom Reed: Stop Supporting People Like George Zimmerman Carrying a Concealed Weapon in NYS!Please join us in telling Rep. Tom Reed that he needs to end his cosponsorship of federally-mandated concealed carry, H.R.402, because it would preempt New York's strong concealed carry laws and put New Yorkers in danger. This bill would force New York to honor the "concealed carry" permits from all other states. This would be a disaster for the safety of our citizens and police because it would allow people like George Zimmerman to carry concealed guns anywhere in our state, including places like Times Square and Niagara Falls, visited by millions each year. This bill is bad for Congressional District 23, bad for New York State and bad for our Nation.616 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Paul McQuillen

Turn Fire Camp 15 Louis Roth into a Homeless Camp & Resource CenterPETITION BACKGROUND We believe that it's possible to remove the majority of the homeless off the streets of Sunland Tujunga and into a safe environment by using Camp 15. We believe that using the abandoned camp will incur a minimal amount of cost to the private & public sector. It is our hope that this petition will generate enough interest to create a safe haven for those of us who have lost our homes. Of the 60-plus homeless we've spoken with, all would be willing to volunteer their time & energy to make this a reality. The local churches and service organizations could help in job training and counseling services. Recently there have been numerous threats & various acts of vandalism against us. When we try to report it, nothing happens. We believe the time has come for our political leaders and community leaders to band together to help, not persecute, them, as is now happening with LAPD'S DAILY HARRASSMENT. THE HOMELESS OF SUNLAND-TUJUNGA ARE CURRENTLY BEING STALKED BY A UNIFORMED VIGiLANTE GROUP. WE ARE MEMBERS OF THIS COMMUNITY & WE DEMAND TO BE TREATED AS SUCH. Many of us actually feel as though we're living in pre-WW 2 Germany. It's like being one step away from the concentration camps. Hear our plea, with over 150 homeless just in Sunland-Tujunga and the camp sitting idle for over 10 years, this is a viable solution. We thank you for your time. Hopefully you'll find it in your heart to sign this, and send a message to our local leaders. You don't have to be a resident, just someone who cares about people22 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dr. David DeMulle'
