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

Cancel the "prescribed burn" at Rocky FlatsThe Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge, managed by U.S. Fish & Wildlife, occupies most of the site of a now-closed nuclear weapons plant. During almost 40 years of production the plant released highly toxic plutonium into the environment. The Superfund cleanup of the site left tiny plutonium particles in the soil. The proposed burn would make particles available to be inhaled, the worst way to be exposed to plutonium.862 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by LeRoy Moore

KEEP THE HOLLY BOXApparently someone complained about the artwork I did on the makeshift memorial where my sister was struck and killed by a car in August of 2004. The Massachusetts DOT sent my family a letter notifying us that it would be removed.293 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Noah Pierce
