I'm tired of seeing useless petitions.

The largest rally against fracking in California history is coming up on February 7th -- The March for Real Climate Leadership -- and whether or not you can join us in person, we need you to sign the petition demanding Governor Jerry Brown ban fracking in California now, so we can deliver your demands right to his doorstep in Oakland! New York’s Governor took an unprecedented step by completely outlawing fracking -- now it’s California’s turn. But while Gov. Brown laid out bold plans to address climate change in his recent inaugural address, he made ZERO mention of the extreme dangers that fracking has to the health and safety of our communities. THIS is a game-changing moment for the climate movement in California. We applaud Gov. Brown's bold plans to address the climate crisis in California. But how can California claim to be a global leader in the fight against climate change while also allowing Big Oil to frack up our state and release millions of tons of carbon into the air that climate scientists agree must stay inside the earth? This is even before you factor in how fracking endangers the health of our communities, poisons our scarce water supplies, and increases the risk of catastrophic earthquakes Now is the time for Gov. Brown to show real climate leadership.

In order for easy passage of emergency response vehicles, the special needs school bus, and commuters and for the safety of pedestrians and for children playing outside, we petition for the Waterleaf HOA covenant to be amended to discontinue the allowance of parking on the streets between 5:30 am - 11:00 am and between 2:00 pm - 5:30 am.

We support PPS using a survey as one tool in its outreach to parents. We expect PPS to take our privacy rights seriously too. Build trust by hearing parents on this privacy policy change and we will spread the word on the survey. Thank-you!

On March 1 2015, St Louis Cemetery #1 will only be open to visitors who are accompanied by a licensed tour guide. Sign the petition to request that the archdiocese adopt provisions that would allow local residents access to this important historic site free of charge.

The “Koch Primary” -- a meeting of billionaires and right-wing presidential hopefuls held by the Koch Brothers in Palm Springs, CA -- has made California GROUND ZERO for fighting the corrupting influence of money in politics. And we must demand that Californians have a right to weigh in on this critical issue with Prop 49. Since the disastrous Citizens United ruling opened the floodgates of corporate money in our elections, the Koch brothers’ extreme right-wing agenda has become the platform for virtually the entire Republican Party -- including "Koch Primary" attendees, Senators Ted Cruz (TX), Rand Paul (KY), Marco Rubio (FL), and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. And if one of these candidates becomes President in 2016 -- with the Koch Brothers' help -- say goodbye to Obamacare, women's rights, and every progressive value we care about most. The fight to stop this madness starts by demanding that Prop 49 be put back on the ballot in California in 2016 -- to allow California voters to decide whether the U.S. Congress and California Legislature should approve a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.

We have been fighting for backyard poultry for a long time here in O'Fallon MO. Even though we have tried many times to get the law changed, the City Council refuses to listen to reason or the desire of the people of this town. We need help, so please sign the petition and help in the fight for food freedom.

The purpose of the petition is to keep the beautiful St. Louis Cemetery #1 open to the public and possibly offer solutions to the vandalism issue. Just so we're all on the same page. As a comment stated elsewhere, " It is private property, and they could close it off completely and only allow family to visit. They own it, they can do what they want." Also, families on the books won't have to pay to tend to their loved ones; they do however have to register to do so. If families aren't on the books due to errors, Katrina, etc, I'm sure the diocese will look at it on a case by case basis. Again, not ideal for the wife that, on a whim, wishes to see her husband. But that's the red tape. The tour companies, bless them, are equally as taxed I'm sure. Paying extra fees to continue their livelihood. They have nothing to do with this other than being forced to pay to show. Truth, this isn't about anger. It's about compromise and common ground. We want to give the Archbishop working knowledge of people's thoughts and ideas, whether it be money, security, upkeep, or anything else. I do completely understand why they want to do this. But I think there are many other ways of dealing with it, fury and ire not being one of them; but constructive discourse, caring, understanding, and love. I don't claim to know all the answers. I don't. That's why I'm here. EDIT: Local article explaining the In's and Out's. http://www.nola.com/homegarden/index.ssf/2015/01/because_of_vandalism_only_tour.html#incart_river EDIT 2: For those wanting to contact the Archbishop now in regards to keeping St Louis Cemetery accessible. As always keep it civil and polite. To mail a letter, direct it to Gregory Michael AyMond, the Archbishop, 7887 Walmsley Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70125. Or send an email here: https://www.arch-no.org/contact Points to stress: - This policy will not protect the cemetery from vandalism that occurs after hours - This policy will restrict access to local residents who cannot afford to pay a tour guide when they want to visit the cemetery, whose rich history belongs to all residents - The proposed rates charged to tourist companies are exorbitant and will require them to bring in large groups of 25+ people just to break even. Large groups are more difficult to control - The policy is difficult to enforce - Better solutions include a security system (alarms), cameras, and a guard posted during opening hours

As parents, grandparents, parents-to-be, and community supporters, we believe that the food served by our public schools is a significant financial and social investment intended to help our students attain better health, enhance their learning, support food security, and foster a lifetime of good eating habits. However, at present, it’s not uncommon for schools to sell and market chemical-laden, sugary foods to our children, nor is it uncommon for processed meals containing additives, some of which have been shown to cause cancer, hyperactivity, and other behavioral impairments in children, to be routinely served. Healthy School Food Maryland proposes this legislation, in part, to help parents and community members know more about the foods sold in our children’s schools, and to enable us to participate in the process of establishing wellness policies for our schools. We believe that Maryland’s public schools can do more to maximize federal, state and local investments in school food so that they enhance rather than detract from the health of our children. We ask that you support the following legislation to address these concerns: Jane Lawton Farm-to-School Act Expansion: Expand Maryland farm-to-school week from one week a year to two weeks a year, one week in the fall and one week in the spring. School Lunch Diabetes & Obesity Reduction Act: Ask each school district to write and implement a plan to reduce sugar loads for all school-provided foods to within limits recommended by the American Heart Association. Thirsty Kids Act: Offer free, unlimited water to children in school cafeterias by using reusable water bottles and offering cups. Chemical-Free School Food Act: Prohibit chemicals in school food that have been shown to be carcinogenic in animal studies or associated with hyperactivity and/or other behavioral and health problems in children. Healthy School Snacks and Marketing Act: Require 24-hour compliance with local and state guidelines for food and drinks sold and/or served in schools on a regular basis; marketing limited to only compliant foods and beverages. School Food Transparency Act: Improve transparency of foods served in schools by providing parents with a list of a la carte, breakfast, and lunch menu items. Require menus to be posted on the school’s website, including ingredient lists and nutritional information for all foods sold. School Wellness Committee Act: Establish standing wellness committees with parent and community representation. For the full details and bill text, see: http://www.healthyschoolfoodmd.org

In a rapidly changing world, we need to open the doors to a new generation and new mentality of Democratic leadership. A return to Clintonian centrism is not what our country needs right now and by stepping aside and joining the progressive wave, Ms. Clinton could do far more good than as President.

President Obama was right in his State of the Union address: The secret billionaire and big business "dark money" enabled by the U.S. Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United ruling is pulling "our politics into the gutter." And he can do something about it right now by issuing an executive order requiring government contractors to disclose their political spending. He doesn't even need agreement from the Boehner-McConnell Congress. That way, We the People will know which corporations are spending how much either backing politicians who may help them get lucrative government business that our tax dollars pay for or attacking politicians who do not. While we continue building nationwide grassroots momentum for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and working on other remedies to the plague of money in politics, we need President Obama to take this one simple step right now that will at least shed light on the political influence of corporations that get taxpayer-funded business from the federal government.
