End Prison Profits on Inmate FamiliesIt is a shame that our society and the state of Florida would stoop so low to seek means to collect profits from the poorest members of our societies when their loved ones are incarcerated. The only purpose for prisons is housing and rehabilitation of those our courts have sent to jail. Earning a profit from those least able to pay who have committed no crime other than to have loved one in prison is reprehensible. It is a practice that must stop. Prison is not for profit.

STATES PAY VOTER SUPPRESSION FINESStates which have established strict voter I.D. laws to prevent voting fraud has failed to prove there are high rates of voter fraud; however, the voter I.D. laws have proven to have high rates of blocking ELIGIBLE voters from voting. Basically, the States have committed more voting fraud than the citizens have. Every citizen has ways to prove who they are without having a state photo I.D. They have retirement income records, utility bills, nursing home administrators, social security administration documents, records of birth, school I.D., work I.D., passports, income tax documents, property tax documents, or it can be a notarized statement by clergymen or law enforcement officers. Every citizen who would have been eligible to vote if he/she was not prohibited by the State's photo I.D. law have had his/her constitutional rights violated and therefore the State needs to pay punitive damages to that citizen. If an ELIGIBLE citizen is purged off the voter registration roll or is not placed on the voter registration roll after lawfully filing his/her voter registration, the State must pay punitive damages to that citizen. If the State prohibits enough eligible voters from voting to the point it affects the outcome of an election, that State's election results must be voided and rerun. Prevention of voting fraud is commendable but not if it blocks the constitutional right of even one law-abiding citizen. The State has clearly broken the law and that one citizen is the crime victim. Restitution to each citizen should be $1,000 - $5,000. This action will assure that the States will be as adamant in protecting its citizens rights as it is in preventing fraud.64 of 100 SignaturesCreated by B. Jackson

Residential Neighborhood affected by paint fumesI own a home in West Haverstraw (N.Y 10993) There is a warehouse 5 feet from my backyard that runs a business of painting cabinets/furniture with lacquer paint that fills the air with paint fumes. The Fumes come through windows of my home sometimes, we can even taste it. I have contacted the EPA,DEC,building inspector, Mayor of West Haverstraw Rockland County Heath Department (who said," its not in the budget any longer to come and inspect anything" local media and social media. I have 4 children we cannot live like this its unhealthy and horrible to smell. The building was zone 50+ years ago,We dont know who approved this 3 years ago allowing a industrial business to run so close to a residential property, this cant be right. Please help us by sharing,supporting and acknowledging this page.94 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Christina Roldan

Punish those worthy of being punished let be the innocence guilty of no crime.Due to the law put in place to stop the illegal distribution of narcotic drugs by doctors or better known as pill mills and other narcotic traffickers a greater crime has occurred. The law was made into law to stop a crime that effects our society but at the same time the law is targeting the innocence, paving the way to a law that is a crime in it self. Patients such as myself who are not drug addicts, drug dealers or criminals suffering from chronic pain illnesses are being victimized and have been victimized due to this law and the advocate responsible for the creation of a law that oppresses, legally discriminates, causing fraud, forms of malpractice, deformation of character moral and humanitarian crimes against humanity. I myself and many other patients suffering from chronic pain cant find help because of this law that is and has violated our rights to receive care and treatment for our chronic conditions which is caused the innocence to suffer. A doctor because of Steve Beshear tried to frame me and then pushed me out of the clinic because she due to the Governor and the law was afraid to treat me for my condition after seeking help else where from another doctor they express they can not help me because of the new law and refuse to treat my condition I have evidence of the framing and prove they admit it is wrong and false. People in this state cant even be seen by a doctor if they have chronic pain. This law and what this Governor has done is a violation of basic human rights, needs and patient right and treatment needs which therefore is crime against our rights and our humanitarian rights and is crimes against humanity its self. Sign the petition, Stop the law, Put an end to the suffering.28 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Fredrick Campbell

Protect the Environment from Man-made Climate ChangeWe are stewards of the environments of the world we live in because we have the greatest impact on them. We deforested the green belt that once encircled the earth and provided clean air and water not only for equatorial continents, but indirectly for the entire world. Overuse of some resources have created imbalances in nature that stress entire ecosystems. The smallest changes can threaten their very existences. Only by acknowledging the conditions that damage and threaten the planet can we protect it and the life forms, including people, that depend on it for their survival. Candidates who refuse to acknowledge that our actions threaten life on our planet should not be elected to positions of responsibility.57 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Susan Risinger

Alternatives to Physical EducationI personally feel physical education class is targeted toward the more athletically gifted students, aka "gym class heroes." An alternative choice would allow those who are not gifted a chance at getting the exercise they need. I personally would much rather work out my muscles than stand around watching a few students run back and forth on a field. Sometimes I feel very intimidated when 6 foot tall jocks push past me to retrieve the ball; dancing is something I do outside of school so therefore I am much more comfortable dancing than running after a ball I don't know what to do with.25 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Megan Schwartz
