• Delta Airlines: Oppose Discriminatory Legislation in Georgia
    We urge you to do more to prevent "Religious Freedom" legislation from passing in Georgia. These harmful bills open the door to discrimination against Georgians, making Georgia unsafe for LGBTQ residents, as well as religious minorities and people of color. Last year, under your lead, Delta Airlines was instrumental in stopping these bills from becoming the law of the land in Georgia. As the state's largest private employer, Delta Airlines has a responsibility to it's employees, customers, and the residents of Georgia to do everything in their power to object to these bills. In the past, your company has shown a commitment to civil rights in the South, by investing over $1 million in the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, and sponsoring the 50th anniversary of the March on Selma taking place this weekend. While we value this commitment, we must do more to ensure that the civil rights of ALL Georgians remain intact. Please take a stand against these bills, and use your influence to urge other business leaders to do the same.

  • Lower Drinking Age
    I am starting this petition because I believe that if you are old enough to join the military, and old enough to be considered a legal adult then you should be able to drink legally.

  • Dont have to participate in gym while playing a sport in school
    I believe if you are working hard in a school sport everyday then there's no reason to have to be involved in gym class. The exercise during the practice or game of the sport should count towards the physical activity of the required amount of gym class.

  • Keep Desmond Working For You
    A select faction of the Student Senate thinks Desmond's leadership style violates his oath of office. This petition tells the Senate not only that You believe Desmond works for you, as your elected President, but that calling for effectiveness of the Student Senate isn't cause for impeachment. Desmond wrote this in his open opt-ed piece to the Eastern Echo: On January 27th, 2015 I addressed the Student Senate during Presidential Forum. In the forum, I requested that the Student Senate focus more on student body issues. I stated that the Senate needed to stop focusing on internal conflict, and focus on improving the student experience for the student body. This is reflected in the Senate-approved minutes from this meeting, which can be found online at emich.edu/studentgov.

  • Call for the resignation of Koch fiend Cory Gardner
    Koch fiend Cory sleazed his way into office and he has started a rampage of bowing down to the Kochs, the NRA, Netanyahu and everything else that is disgusting and rightwing and wrong. Every moment he is in office is a moment when America IS IN DANGER.

  • It's a YES or NO question
    Nottoway County BOS has refused to put a resolution in support of Industrial Hemp on its agenda. America is the only industrialized nation on Earth that does not produce Industrial Hemp. This is NOT what our Founding Fathers intended in 1619.

  • Florida: Stop Censoring Climate Change!
    Despite the clear danger our communities face from storms, flooding, and rising sea level caused by climate change, recent reports reveal that many government officials in Florida are no longer allowed to say the term "climate change." This misguided attempt to politically censor the very people in charge of making policies that will reduce carbon pollution and help our communities adapt to our changing climate isn't just outrageous—it's dangerous.

  • Stop the Parking Meter abuse by the City of New Orleans
    It is unfair to make it hard to live or work in the city and have to worry about parking! The city of New Orleans does not make from parking meters, just a percentage of the tickets issued. A privately-owned company from out of state called Standard Parking Corp. makes money. It profits from New Orleans and the city of Chicago, while residents, small business owners, people who work in city, and visitors suffer. Some people do not even make what they spend in parking. Residents have to pay for parking, as do people who come to shop--wasting money that could have actually helped the city of New Orleans. These meters are owned by a private company that are only helping themselves, so in order for New Orleans to get a cut, they have to enforce and put in more meters and issue more tickets. Parking should be free for people who work in the city, period. Some locals have to pay what they make an hour in salary for parking. Also, a lot of the parking meters are broken and people still get tickets from them parking near them. These meters are destroying the city of New Orleans, making it hard on small businesses, and people commuting to work or to visit friends in area, residents, and even tourists who don't want to walk for two hours without worrying about a meter running out. Not everyone has a cell phone to download an app and pay. Some people do not even have credit cards. I am starting this petition against Standard Parking Corp, who is contracted with the city and now owns Central Parking lot--not the city of New Orleans and Mayor Landrieu! The Standard Parking Corp. Parking Meter company is based out of the state, monopolizing pay to park so their stocks can rise. It's a huge greedy corporate scam! Standard Parking Corp. is under contract with the city of New Orleans, who is not making that much money off the meters ad parking, unless more people get tickets, issued by them, hence all the broke meters! I have a picture of a waitress at IHOP who had to go outside to feed a meter. She most likely makes $2/hr and feeds the meter every hour. This is a prime example of the greedy stock market, capitalizing on the human needing to be somewhere at a certain time! These city officials think they are helping the city, but they are only helping themselves.

  • Save the Democratic Party: Sanders and Warren
    Recently with what is and has been happening here in America, I feel that we need to make a change and that change is to elect 2 people that have a history of looking out for the average American and both Bernie and Elizabeth have that track record. Watching the 47 Republican Senators, send their letter to Iran, to negatively affect President Obama's attempt to reduce the nuclear threat, is the last nail in the coffin.

  • JUSTICE DEPARTMENT: Investigate and if necessary bring charges against GOP senators for violation...
    47 GOP Senators signed an open letter to the government of Iran in apparent violation of the Logan Act which makes it a crime for any citizen to engage in "“any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government . . . with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government . . . in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States.” This action endangers delicate negotiations that could result in an Iranian nuclear weapon.
