• Put Sojourner Truth's Face on the Twenty Dollar Bill
    I suggest that Sojourner Truth's face be used on the Twenty Dollar Bill, since much of the labor building this country was on the backs of Slaves, whom Sojourner Truth sought to deliver from their condition of involuntary servitude.

  • Ban Student Loan Debt Relief Companies
    We need to stop this abhorrent practice of taking advantage of struggling and vulnerable student loan borrowers who are desperate for a solution for their crushing debt and succumb to the false promises of these predatory student loan debt relief companies, who take their money and provide a service that is available for free.

  • LegalizeMarijuana in PA for Adults 21 and Older
    The science is in on this issue, marijuana is safe, far safer than alcohol. Colorado has shown, this can be done. We can pull Pennsylvania out of the pension problem, fix the school funding, and cut property taxes, just with the tax revenue, while putting thousands to work here in PA

  • Stop Anderson from expanding vacation rentals in our residential neighborhoods; support strong en...
    Vacation rentals decrease the pool of housing for residents, push up prices for buyers and renters, increase property taxes for everyone else, and change the character of a neighborhood. In 2008 when Ikaika Anderson was Planning and Zoning Vice-Chair they killed a similar enforcement Bill by refusing to hear it, and then pushed a Bill legalizing new vacation rentals, which was defeated. Resolution 15-72 is just like the defeated Bill from 2008. Resolution 15-72 gives permits for independent dwellings with their own entrance, kitchens and 3 bedrooms (that is a family home!) to be legal vacation rentals in all residential zones across Oahu. 0.5% of all housing can be vacation rentals with 1/3 of the total concentrated in a single district. Neighbors have no say. Resolution 15-72 weakens the enforcement tools and penalties requested by DPP. The applicant is supposed to live on-site, but there are no penalties for breaking this rule. Because of the housing crisis, we are converting good agricultural land to housing. The City is also moving to increase the density in residential areas – allowing “Additional Dwelling Units” which are Ohana units that can be rented anyone. These should not go forward without enforcement: they will be used for tourists instead of residents. Please sign this petition and write or call all City Council members and let them know you want effective enforcement of vacation rentals to protect housing stock for residents before any other changes are considered.

  • Please replace our Building Captain - Bld'g 21
    The Building (21) is silently suffering from lack of leadership. Our current Building Captain is ignored and dismissed by the Board members and peers in Section 3 management. WE HAVE TO REPLACE HIM IN ORDER TO MOVE ON WITH OUR REQUESTS AND BUILDING NEEDS IN THE FUTURE!

  • Kaniela Ing and Roz Baker: Industrial Hemp Creates Green Jobs, Pass SB375
    I am starting this petition because I went to the hemp for hope workshop last year and learned you can make great grown and made on maui products such as hempcrete, insulation, canvas, clothing, hemp oil, hemp seed, biofuels, and paper just to name a few great uses. On July 4, 1776 the declaration of independence was written on hemp paper. I feel it is time to allow entrepreneurs and businesses in our community to partake and invest in the over half a billion dollar industry that continues to grow throughout the nation. Legalizing the cultivation of industrial hemp and expanding the industry to others that want to adopt safer agricultural practices, protect our environment, and make Hawai‘i a better place for future generations is common sense, a great idea, and the right thing to do.

  • No Tolerance Law for Ohio
    We need a No Tolerance law for Ohio, like Kentucky has, to charge dealers for murder, not manslaughter. Put the addicts in rehab, not jail.

  • Restrict Interlocutory Rulings
    I am starting this Petition because I have been personally affected by the Issue. I am also starting this Petition because there are some recent Indications that the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania has started seeing the Fallacy of this Practice. People should be concerned about this Issue because, if they are involved in Litigation, there may be an Interim Ruling by the Court against them and then they would not be able to challenge the Interim Ruling even if they believe it is wrong, even if it is wrong, until the entire Proceeding has been completed. This has the Effect of weakening a Party which may lose intermediate Steps in a Legal Proceeding although, Overall, the Party may have a valid overall Position.

  • Take Back Our Government
    Corporations are not individuals; otherwise, they would be subject to the same laws as the rest of us. Setting up offshore accounts to avoid paying income tax is outright stealing from the government. Money is not speech and should never be equated to free speech. Yet, the Supreme Court has stated otherwise.

  • Citizens Demand the Forced Removal of Trespass Cattle from the Gold Butte area
    The residents of the Virgin Valley have had their access to Federal Lands restricted by the lawless actions of Bundy and have watched the Gold Butte area continually be degraded by the unlawful trespassing of Cliven Bundy for many years. It is past time for the BLM to do the job it is charged with and do WHATEVER IS NECESSARY to remove the trespass cattle and punish the unlawful actions of Bundy and his followers. Do your job. Backing down to criminals will never change their unlawful behavior and only serves to encourage others to follow his unlawful actions. DO YOUR JOB, or resign Lawlessness only breeds more lawlessness.

  • Opposed to rezoning C/Z#1770
    I am opposed to the rezoning request for the Overbrook Town Center as filed by TD Rehoboth LLC (Tax Map #235-23.00-1.00) C/Z#1770. I feel that it 1. Will have a major impact on our quality of life due to safety, traffic, noise, and pollution. 2. Will have an impact on the Greater Marsh due to impervious surfaces with its 850,000 sq. ft. retail space and over 5,100 parking spaces. 3. Will result in MAJOR congestion along the Route 1 corridor both North and Southbound. 1,500 more cars per hour past Cave Neck Road per DelDOT TIS 2014. 4. Will create difficulty for rapid response by fire, ambulance, and police responders 5. Will most likely cause tax increases due to road costs, building overpasses, and increased police involvement. 6. Will restrict access for housing developments along Cave Neck Road as one would have to go THROUGH the Town Center in order to go North on Route 1 or return home when coming from the South.
