Veterans Monument LocationThe board approved a site for the Veterans Monument with NO support from the surrounding neighbors. The Ranch House grounds provide a much more centralized location and will not negatively impact any Ken-Caryl residents. This monument should be located at the Ranch House, not on the corner of Sangre de Cristo and Crestone Mountain.46 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Julie Hobart

No to war with Russia!President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State John Kerry and Senator John McCain have dishonored the people of the United States by their support of the fascist government in the Ukraine. Any military assistance to the anti-Semitic, anti-worker government in the Ukraine would be an act of provocation towards Russia. Working people do not need a war with Russia which without doubt would be catastrophic to Europe and the United States at the very least. We must not forget that we can all be cremated equally!53 of 100 SignaturesCreated by James P. Thompson

Oppose Merit Pay for "Highly Effective" TeachersI am an elementary teacher who has seen excellent colleagues leave the profession because they don't feel free to do what's best for kids. I have been rated poorly based on my students' performance on the state test while I was on maternity leave. The next year I was rated much better...because I was actually at my job for the full year. This system is highly flawed. Merit pay incentives will only make the situation worse.111 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Stephanie Finke

New Hampshire Legislature Must Support Overturning Citizens UnitedWe call on the New Hampshire state legislature to support a constitutional amendment overturning the 2010 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (FEC). Since this flawed decision, New Hampshire has faced a deluge of outside spending. In the 2014 congressional election, outside groups spent more than 49 million dollars on three congressional races in New Hampshire- one of the highest amounts of outside spending in the nation. We believe that this is unacceptable.1,249 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Ellen Reed

World Class Pro ShopWorld Class Pro Shop and it's continued business at AMF Capital Plaza Lanes via Bowlmor, should not lose its contractual agreement . As a patron of both establishments, I would hope the opinions of customers of continued business would be a concern. It is hard as an avid bowler to find just the right shops to handle your demands as a bowler. WCPS has had tremendous success in its business practice for the consumers. We the patrons, would like to keep this business relationship in tact for that very reason. This petition is written in hopes that you would reconsider your decision to close this prominent business from its valued customers.91 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brown Suga Hope

Grow Trione Sports Complex: More Soccer FieldsI am so excited about the growth of the sport of soccer in our area. It is such a beautiful game. But in order to facilitate this game, we must have places for these children to play. Right now we are busting at the seams and need more field area. Not only would Daphne be investing in the City, but also in the children of the City. It's a WIN-WIN!183 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Dyan Perrigin

Tell Governor Cuomo Enough is Enough!!!New York State owes New York City schools billions of dollars. This money is needed to increase the quality and effectiveness of public education. Charter schools can and do raise money in obscene amounts. That money is NOT governed by the same guidelines as money the public schools are allocated by the state. When charters are co-located in our public school buildings, they create a caste system in an already segregated school system. They create a “have” and “have not” situation in schools, with the real public schools being the “have nots.” That being said: When at the 11th hour before 2014's state elections, legislation was hurried through changing the rules governing charter schools. They do NOT have to pay rent, nor do they have to find their own space. More importantly, New York City has to find space for them in existing public schools or find them space elsewhere and the city must pay for their rent and renovations. The money to do this would come from OUR school budget, and taking money from OUR school budget means less in our classrooms. This causes the quality of our children's education to decrease, thereby creating an unequal public education system which is constitutional right of EVERY child in the United States! That being said: This petition is to request that New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman investigate the civil rights violations these actions pose on students in New York City's real public schools. Furthermore: Please view the the document below showing the contributions made to Governor Cuomo by charter school proponents, totaling over $1.6 million. Eva Moskowitz and her cohorts have donated almost $700 thousand alone. These figures strongly suggest that the governor was and is complicit in these civil rights violations.

Queremos a Tego Calderon en la UPR-RPLa Universidad de Puerto Rico tiene una tradición de coordinar conciertos con propósito del inicio o cierre del semestre o año académico. Se avecina nuestro cierre de semestre y nos encantaría que esta vez la Universidad invitara a Tego Calderón. Un artista que es un emblema de la negritud en Puerto Rico, las barriadas, los caseríos y comunidades de escasos recursos adyacentes a la Universidad. Un Artista que a través de su lírica denuncia, educa y entretiene. Esperamos nos complazcan con traer a tan excepcional figura a la UPR.26 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Katherine M. Cepeda Rivera
