Lorain Eviction HearingsWe the undersigned, mostly being members of the Lake Erie Landlord Association and all owning rental property in the area served by the Lorain Municipal Court Jurisdiction do respectfully request that Eviction Court be expanded to two days a week to eliminate the long period of time a Landlord must wait for a hearing. If two hearings a week are not practical perhaps two hearings every other week or even once a month would lessen the problem somewhat. Each week a Landlord must wait to regain control of his/her property costs approximately $150.00 to $200.00 plus additional damages being done to the property. Thank you for your time and consideration in the matter. (Petition participants please include your name, address, Phone Number and respectfully the # of Rentals in Lorain you have)102 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Lake Erie Landlord Association

Limit old bloodlines and leadership billThis petition will limit the amount of political power one or more bloodlines/ families hold in our political offices, so more agendas are looked at and listened to . This will keep the laws, agendas of political power, and ideas fresh and unbiased so that Americans feel there is strong social justice in our political and judicial justice systems. This will allow Americans to feel and perceive there's equal rights, hope, and peace more so than today. This will allow a more just feel to our system and will avoid political corruption whether existent or accused of in media resources, political resources, and figures of authority. This will promote more diverse presidency, economic, and political power. By adding your signature, you agree there needs to be change, not only within the United States but in the world and the way we conduct World Organizations and treaties on trades. This will open up more opportunities for lobbyists, small companies, large companies, and environmentalists to come up with new and fresh solutions to today's problems once again avoiding conflict with some countries, tributaries, and authorities in or outside of America.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Katie Erwin

Modifying the interrogation processAfter watching a documentary about the Central Park Jogger case back in 1989, I was left wondering if cases of false confessions still occur. As of February 4, 2014, 1,403 people have been exonerated in the United States since 1989, according to the National Registry of Exoneration. I created this petition in hopes that forensic psychologists can be put in the room during a police interrogation in order to make sure confessions aren't being coerced. This will serve as a checks and balance system for police officers during the interrogation process because, as of now, there is no one overlooking police officers during interrogations.60 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Connor McAlinn

WA bill threatens consumers' right to knowBill to be heard in WA State House Committee on Public Safety Tuesday Remember those horrific pictures that workers employed at Darigold dairies risked their jobs to take to document animal abuse where they work? Well, if a recently introduced bill becomes law in the State of Washington, taking those pictures will become a criminal act. If we share those pictures with you, we too could be found guilty of a crime and possibly forced to pay ridiculous amounts of damages. In other words, HB 1104 threatens to silence all of us who care about animal welfare, worker rights, and even food safety. This bill is clearly in response to our Darigold campaign and is a shameless attempt to quiet workers and even the UFW. Rather than allowing Darigold to hide behind lobbyists and legislators, join us in calling on them to publicly denounce this bill. Rather than criminalizing workers and the organizations who support efforts to ensure animal AND worker abuse does not occur, it's high time Darigold step up to work with us to create a solution. The bill will be heard in the State House Committee on Public Safety Tuesday. Please email Darigold CEO Jim Wegner and committee chair Roger Goodman (D) and tell them what you think of big corporations manipulating the justice system.442 of 500 SignaturesCreated by UFW

Stop prescription drug companies from running sexual related ads on TVDrug companies are becoming more and more vulgar and offensive with the Ads they are running about their products. Most pertaining to sexually related functions or matters. These commercials are offensive and borderline pornographic. Please take these commercials of the air. This is personal information someone should be receiving from their doctor, NOT learning about while watching TV with their young childern. I find these commercials uncomfortable to watch and unnecessary. Yes watching TV with your children can be a valuable way to open up a dialogue about such topics as drug use and personal safety. Although topics such as vaginal dryness and erectile dysfunction should not be forced upon us. Please join me in signing this petition. Hopefully together we can make a real impact. I hope someday we can all feel comfortable watching TV with our families again.18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lora Ragole

Change current patent laws for Cancer and related drugsAny one whose family is affected by cancer know that the cost of the cancer drugs are unreasonable, bankrupt the medicare fund, and bankrupt family nest eggs. In many cases these drugs are priced at the highest possibly price and abut are not expensive to develop or to manufacture. The current patent laws are inappropriate and outdated for drug development. This was highlighted in the recent 60 minutes segment on this topic: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-cost-of-cancer-drugs/ The current law is bankrupting Medicare, the insurance companies, and our citizens. It is time for the public to pressure our representatives to change these laws which are no loner in the public interest and only benefit drug companies and their stockholders.51 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Paul Jorgensen

Elizabeth Warren: Stop Supporting Clinton and RunAs a lifelong progressive, I'm disgusted with plutocrats dominating government and media while progressives seeking peace, economic justice, and urgent climate action are marginalized, excluded from ANY influence on policy. Elizabeth Warren is the most powerful spokesperson people like me have had in years. So why is she supporting Hillary Clinton, a Wall Street and fossil fuel puppet who will NOT work for progressives like me? Warren MUST drop her support for Clinton and run for president.165 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Patrick Walker
