BankruptcyOver the last almost five years I have been entangled in a very high conflict divorce. When this all began, I thought that it would be simple, I was leaving my abuser and I would walk away with what was rightfully mine. There was a judge involved, and he would have to uphold the law of the land. Little did I know that his lackadaisical decisions would lead to my ex gaining the upper hand. Now here I am. Almost two years ago when I refused to go along with what my ex wanted he threatened to file bankruptcy. He was advised by many legal professionals that this would not be a wise decision as financially there was no need. He was at risk of being in contempt and possibly going to jail. We had mediation on July 21 and court on July 22; twenty-two minutes before our hearing the judge received the notice that he had filed bankruptcy. Financially there was no need other than keeping him out of jail, as his contempt was financial, and the bankruptcy would stay the hearing. With him filing bankruptcy, which was fraudulent and is being regarded as such by the Federal Bankruptcy Trustee, I am now losing everything. I want to make sure that this is unable to happen to anyone else. We did have some tax debt that if you do some research you will find that you cannot eliminate tax debt through bankruptcy. We owned our lives outright for the most part and he filed this bankruptcy on $32,000.00 worth of debt This could have been resolved with a parcel of land or some other thing could have been sold off to relieve this debt. I am asking you today to sign my petition, so no one else has to have their family drug through this kind of ridiculousness. I would have never believed that there was the ability for someone to do this.52 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Angela Levens

Gun ControlIn the Newtown shooting Adam Lanza, a mentally unstable 20 year old, killed 20 1st grade students and 6 women with an assault rifle which his mother bought. If we as a nation tighten gun laws, lives could be saved. A two minute background check could have saved those lives. Aren't those lives worth those two minutes? I am hoping that congress will consider the following options: Fingerprint technology to unlock guns. Limits on assault weapons. Limit the number of bullets (rounds) in a clip to 10. 24 hour waiting period to buy a gun. Place limits on the ability of the mentally ill to purchase guns. Please consider signing my petition.330 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Madison Armonda

REPLACE THE BOARD AND THE SUPERINTENDENTS who continue to employ, protect and allow Kimberly Tayl...The Principal is only a symptom of the bigger problem. The Board of Education and The Superintendents continue to employ, protect and allow Kimberly Taylor Around Children. BOCES LEADERSHIP IS BROKEN. REPLACE THE DECISION MAKERS!!!!! Because a week suspension is noRecent Petition Entries: 911. Max McDonald from Nyack, NY signed this petition on Feb 14, 2015. Do not stop the petition. BOCES IS COVERING UP AGAIN. Kim Taylor was removed from hilltop. But just moved to building 10. Another school in the boces program. She is still around children 910. Martin J. Coleman from Woodbury, NY signed this petition on Feb 14, 2015. I am a civil rights attorney for people with disabilities. Most of my cases are brought5 under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Given her language used by Ms. Taylor, as quoted on the internet, any case ever brought against BOCES under the Americans with Disabilities Act, Rehabilitation Act of 1973 or IDEA will be more difficult to defend if Ms. Taylor is not severed from employment with BOCES. Please terminate her from her position. Thank you. Martin J. Colemant a fitting response to a person who subjects children to degradation, abuse, embarrassment, fear and administrators needs to be held accountable for those they employ. There is not enough accountability or pressure on school administrators to remove abusive educators. Children in schools are too often victims and abused by the educators entrusted to educate, support and protect them. There needs to be better screening processes for those put into these positions and an ongoing checks and balances to ensure our students continue to be in the care of responsible, reasonable and caring professionals.1,050 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Kim McClain

Mayor Wharton: Improve Don't Remove Foote HomesMemphis is one of the poorest cities in the U.S. There is a desperate shortage of quality affordable housing in our community. Foote Homes offers more than 400 of our poorest families a decent place to live and work in the heart of the city. It was also the site of many of our community's most important Civil Rights activities - a place where Benjamin Hooks, Mavis Staples, and Rufus Thomas and their families lived.135 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Ken Reardon

Expand Social SecurityRight now in Washington, there is a coordinated attack on Social Security. Congressional Republicans and their Wall Street cronies are attempting to divide the American people through phony, manufactured crises. The truth of the matter is that Social Security has a $2.8 trillion surplus. If no changes are made, it can pay out every benefit owed to every eligible American for the next 18 years and around 80% of benefits owed after that. And if millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share, we can not only extend the life of the Social Security trust fund, but we can expand benefits for every American. Social Security is more than America’s retirement program—it provides an economic bedrock, protecting the disabled, survivors and veterans. Expanding Social Security is simple: it means making our Social Security system work even better by ensuring that benefits are able to meet the costs that seniors and people with disabilities face every day. It means a stronger Social Security Administration that can ensure that people can access the benefits they earn throughout their working lives. What we should not be doing is considering cuts such as the disastrous Chained CPI, or the new Republican plan to cut Social Security for 11 million Americans living with disabilities including 3 million children. Stand with Social Security Works and MoveOn.org in demanding that Congressional Republicans drop their phony crisis and stop threatening the earned benefits of millions of Americans. Demand that they listen to the American people and expand, not cut Social Security!28,879 of 30,000 SignaturesCreated by Michael Phelan, Social Security Works

Support a Fracking Ban in Florida!In states all across the country, fracking for oil and gas has led to water contamination, air pollution, and serious public health impacts. What's more, fracking also contributes to climate change. Simply stated, fracking is too dangerous to be part of our energy plan. Please protect the people and environment of Florida by supporting a statewide ban on fracking.91 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Alexander
