Grandparents Rights in AlabamaGrandparents who have a pre-existing relationship with their Grandchild since birth should have visitation rights. When the Grandchild has become self- aware, knows who we are and what we mean to him and is very familiar with their surroundings, they should not be restricted or punished un-necessarily. We believe it is in the best interest of any Grandchild that they be given the opportunity to visit their Grandparents. We believe Grandparents should be given visitation rights that are reasonably accepted by all parties. We believe the absence of a loved one, who has been such a big part of their Grandchild's life, is like experiencing a death, because the loved ones are here one day and gone the next. It happens too quickly already!272 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Debra Taylor

Gas Leak on Kennedy Blvd and Little League Lack of SafetyThe lack of proper maintenance for a housing development led to major gas leaks which forced over 170 people into the cold. Assistance was only provided for the ones that went to a shelter. Due to financial hardship and convenience many could only find housing with friends or family. There was a lack of equal assistance among all the residents. The livelihood and welfare of seniors, children, special needs children and animals were put at risk. For the families that were not put into hotels, we want credit on our rent. We want reimbursement for expenses such as the following: payments to family/friends to take animals and for any payment made for providing the residence shelter; paying expense for illness caused for being forced into the cold; and expenses for having to get our children to school when we had to live out of the riverside district. Hopes this brings light to safety concerns in these development will stop being ignored and safe apts being provided of individuals that are true need of assistance.40 of 100 SignaturesCreated by krystine watts

Stop BSL in WIMore states are realizing Breed Specific Legislation is not the answer. It's time for WI to jump on the bandwagon of what's right and ban BSL for good. A dog's breed does not determine it's character & focus should be on the deed and not the breed.1,195 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Jen K

Ban the Pesticide BifenthrinThere is a pervasive lack of understanding of the toxicity and prevalence of bifenthrin and most states are not looking for bifenthrin in urban streams. This is a silent killer that no one is looking for. We could have healthy urban streams full of fish and strong local economies if we properly manage our urban environments. Banning bifenthrin would be a large step in that direction.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Erick McWayne

Shall the Government stop violating Americans of African descent rights?As architect for a minority non profit housing operation, I observed a Federal Court without jurisdiction to hear a case hold conduct it for more then six years at great cost to HUD where the City that sued its own housing agency and the agency were both found to have "dirty hands" in an joint City-HUD audit; where the case named the a defendant wrongly which should have in any court caused the case to be immediately dismissed; where the defendant was not permitted to have an attorney; where no trial was held; where the $25 to $27 million of HUD funds (at least) that went missing or misappropriated was waived because the DOJ attorney said "now we don't have to investigate", then was shortly after appointed to the same Federal Court; and where a sanction was issued and I am threatened with jail by the Federal judge whose wife, also a Judge, laid the sanctions against me for exercising my due process rights by raising these matters. This Case is docketed at the US Supreme Court but unless there is wide public support the case will NEVER get read....As pro se, in forma pauperis no attorney asked will represent these issues. The Supreme Court understandably picks cases where they know the legal representative knows what he or she is doing, whether or not the issues have merit. This case explains the unseen background as to why a Ferguson, Missouri can happen.39 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lawrence Goldblatt

PETITION TO DEMOCRATIC LEADERS: STAND STRONG ON DEBT-FREE COLLEGE!President Obama is proposing free community college, and Republicans are already opposing it. This is the kind of big idea that voters need to see Democrats stand for -- because it impacts millions of people's lives. We need to urge President Obama and Congressional Democrat to embrace this fight, and showcase it at the upcoming State of the Union. We're keeping the media and Democratic allies informed of our momentum, so they see the huge public support for progressive big ideas.10,396 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Progressive Change Campaign Committee

Congress: Support Free CollegeI have nearly $100,000 in student loans because college was an economic burden. Congress should work to pass legislation to make attending college a path to prosperity instead of a debilitating burden that harms middle and lower income Americans. Free college is the future and it's affordable for our country.564 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Melissa Byrne

Millions of Voices Against Citizens United, You in?Five years ago this month, on January 21st, the Supreme Court handed down its infamous decision on Citizens United vs. FEC, threatening to tear apart the fabric of our democracy by granting powerful corporations and wealthy donors unfettered influence in our political process. That decision paved the way for unlimited corporate political spending. Fortunately, since Citizens United, a vibrant grassroots movement has formed calling for a constitutional amendment to limit the influence of big money in politics. More than 600 towns and cities, 16 states, and 200 members of Congress have gone on record in favor of amending the Constitution. In September of this past year the United States Senate debated a proposed amendment for a full week, with 55 senators voting to advance the Democracy for All amendment that would overturn decisions like Citizens United and McCutcheon. Now, together with more than 50 organizations, MoveOn.org and our partners at Common Cause, Free Speech For People, People For the American Way, and Public Citizen are working to gather five million petition signatures calling for an amendment. So far we have already gathered more than 3.7 million signatures. These millions of petitions can help create a powerful story – and a call to action – that can be shared with members of Congress, the media and general public. Will you add your name today?54,053 of 75,000 SignaturesCreated by Rio Tazewell

APPROVE AMERICAN AIRLINES REQUEST TO FLY LOS ANGELES TO TOKYO-HANEDA AIRPORTAmerican Airlines is asking the Department of Transportation to transfer one of two US to Tokyo-Haneda airport (HND) slots currently held by Delta Airlines, to American Airlines. Delta currently operates LAX-HND and SEA-HND. These routes were granted, and intended to be for, *daily* operations. Delta refuses to operate their SEA-HND flight on a daily basis, as they promised to do when awarded the route. American Airlines would welcome the opportunity to compete with Delta, head-to-head, in the Los Angeles to Tokyo-Haneda market. We support the request to transfer the SEA-HND route authority held by Delta, to American Airlines for a new LAX-HND *daily* roundtrip.213 of 300 SignaturesCreated by David Ransom
