Nebraska Watchdog must apologize to Amanda McGill and retract their inaccurate storyAmanda is running for State Auditor against incumbent Charlie Janssen, whose campaign manager is quoted frequently in the article mentioned. This story was introduced to attack Amanda with no factual basis, as she is a politician with a sterling reputation. We cannot allow our system to be hijacked by misinformation like this, so please help me convince Mr. Jordan and Nebraska Watchdog to do the right thing.

We Demand A Mega Club and museum for The House Music Culture.Before House Music was introduced to Chicago, the city of Chicago was known for the gangster Al Capone. This was not a good image for the city. Then the city became known for the blues and its blues clubs. This didn't last very long. In 1980 Chicago House music was born, Chicago would never be the same, it was house central. House Music, the Dj's and the producers made Chicago the most talked about and visited cities in Illinois. It was reported that when there was a house music event going in Chicago the crime rate dropped. House music and its culture promotes peace unity and diversity it has crossed all racial barriers and has inspired all types of music genres: EDM, Techno, acid, soulful, dubstep, tribe, and many more. Three decades later House music is still going strong in Chicago. But House Music has no mega venue or museum. By developing these things: 1- It would be a great tribute to the Dj's and producers of Chicago that helped define a positive image of Chicago; 2- It would generate a greater level of tourism which would bring more money to the city; 3- This would create a place for the house music community of Chicago and the visiting fan population to celebrate its culture and love for the music. 4. The museum would display the contributions that the pioneers of house music has made to the music industry, photos of Dj's and producers, gear and equipment that was use to make the music, old flyers and photos of legendary DJ’s and producers, House music locations and other type of memorabilia. Also music workshops for the youth or that may be interested in a music career as a DJ, producer or sound engineer.41 of 100 SignaturesCreated by DEREK JONES

Bike Racks for our Parks!As a cyclist, I am concerned that we aren't making it easy enough for beginning bikers and families and seniors to bike in NYC. One of the biggest obstacles to getting on a bike is having a place to lock it securely once you arrive at your destination. The parks in our neighborhood (Central Park, Riverside Park, Morningside Park and others) don't have any bike racks and that leaves cyclists without a place to park once they get to the park!11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Martin Wallace

Homeschoolers should be able to play sports for public schools!I just started this journey with my children and the more people find out that my son can not participate with kids he has been playing sports, the more shocked they become. I believe many people aren't even aware that this law is in effect, NY being one of 19 states that do not allow HS children to play sports. It is time people become aware of this discrimination!!388 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Deana Madigan

Roll Back The Rate HikeOn September 16, National Grid, the largest electric utility in Massachusetts filed a 37% rate increase with the Department of Public Utilities. Other large utilities, such as NStar, Unitil and WMECO are expected to do the same. I support the roll back of this massive rate increase and demand environmentally sustainable energy policy in Massachusetts. The electric rate hike is set to take effect on November 1st, 2014. This increase is unfair, unwarranted and designed to create false demand for new gas infrastructure. UNFAIR: The increase will hurt low-income families. It will harm small and large businesses and hamper the state’s economic recovery. Is this rate hike truly justified? UNWARRANTED: Gas supplies are at an all time high, while prices remain low. Meanwhile, the electric companies efforts to promote energy efficiency and conservation have lagged. FALSE DEMAND: The rate hike raises the specter of what State Representative William Pignatelli has suggested may be, “corporate collusion,” holding citizens hostage to gain acceptance for costly, environmentally destructive natural gas infrastructure projects, such as the controversially proposed Tennessee Gas Northeast Direct pipeline. Tell the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities to roll back the rate increase. The long-term solution for preventing volatile price spikes and halting climate change is investment in renewable energy. It is time to democratize energy policy in the Commonwealth, making it clean, green and fair.768 of 800 SignaturesCreated by M.K. Ultra

Metro-Cards For Suffolk County TransitPassengers of the Suffolk County Transit & NICE Buses would like to have later hours on bus runs(until Midnight). Some people who ride the SCT & NICE Buses work late hours and do not have the SCT or NICE Buses running late for them to get home, and have to pay over $10.00 just to get home by cabs. With that I feel that SCT & NICE buses are losing passengers this way, just as well when the SCT buses are constantly running 15-20 minutes late when people are trying to get to work on time or getting home in time if they have children to get off the school bus.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Arnetia Lewis

Upon a birth of a healthy baby born to a Biological Mother, there must be true evidence of abuse ...To many false allegation's go unproven and the children get adopted out anyway! I lost my Daughter to false allegation's and plenty others through the years 1984- 1987 and many others.till now Thing's just keep getting worse instead of better we need our infant babies to stay with their Biological Mothers! This Government Agency won't let any Biological Parent keep any baby born to them after a social worker falsifies papers and makes the adoption legal! it's unfair. Not to mention not good for a healthy baby to be placed away from the Biological Mother! Please put a stop to this injustice!17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Laurie Hurley
