• Allow student loans to be re-financed as mortgages are.
    Because my daughter-in-law is still paying off her student loan, she cannot afford to buy a home & is otherwise unable to make purchases which could help to revive the economy. House and Senate members who want to DO something to stimulate the economy, not just play blame games & talk, talk, talk, should ACT now. Relieve students and their families of burdensome debt, & revive growth.

  • Allow a Parole Hearing For Decedrick Gainous
    My son was convicted of a crime and at the time he was 18 and now 39 years old. He has been in Texas Department of Corrections since 1994. He was given a life sentence, with a possibility of porale in 40 years. According to prison time, he has been in there 40 years. Prison time is somewhat different from regular time. For some reason the 40 years seems to never come. So I'm asking if you would please sign my petition. Please allow my son a fair chance for a parole hearing.

  • Mental Health
    I'm starting this petition to increase funding for mental health services and to increase awareness for the mentally ill who usually can't speak for themselves. I myself have a serious mental illness and I am an advocate for others who share my struggles. I cannot do this alone though so this petition is a way that I can get other people in my corner.

  • No Road to Ambler
    The Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority's (AIDEA) 220-mile road proposal is poorly planned and studied and does not adequately account for long term damage to local wildlife, waterways, and ways of life. AIDEA's consistent disrespect of major local opposition while spending state funds to subsidize corporate liabilities and privatize foreign profit is not consistent with Walker administration values. This project should be stopped before wasting any additional resources.

  • Drop Charges Against Mall of America Protesters
    Bloomington City Attorney Sandra Johnson wants to hold protesters responsible for loss of profits and cost of police presence due to the #BlackLivesMatter protest at the Mall of America on Dec. 20. By drafting criminal charges against these protesters, the City of Bloomington is trying to suppress protest and chill free speech. Send the city a message: if it does not believe Black Lives Matter more than one day of doing business, we will not do business in Bloomington, or the Mall of America.

  • Utah Needs Clean Energy
    In 2008 the Utah Legislature established a vision to promote clean energy jobs, improve air quality and protect Utahns from dangerous climate change with a Clean Energy Goal of 20% of electricity to come from renewable sources by 2025. Senate Bill 202 passed both houses without a single no vote. Rocky Mountain Power/ PacifiCorp (RMP) will shortly propose a long-term plan for electricity supply during the period from 2015 through 2025 that will likely include no significant utility investment in geothermal, hydropower, solar or wind power generation facilities in Utah. Despite strong support from Utahns and record low prices for installed solar and wind power, RMP plans to sell electricity in Utah of which less than 3% derives from non-polluting, renewable sources. Utah has tremendous solar and wind potential that RMP is mostly ignoring. Utah is one of the sunniest states in our nation yet ranks 26th in adoption of solar power (0.2% of total generation). Utah has abundant land and rooftops where solar photo-voltaic power can be produced. A commitment to embrace these resources would have a profound positive gain for Utah's economy, by creating new jobs and diverse industries that will be here for the long haul. We therefore urge the Utah Legislature to upgrade the 2008 bill that was aspirational but has still not produced a change in how power is generated. We would like to see a Clean Energy Standard that requires a minimum of 20% of Utah’s electric power coming from in-state renewables by 2025. (For more information about RMP's long-term plan, check out https://www.rockymountainpower.net/about/irp.html)
