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

Hold Honolulu police Sgt. Darren Cachola accountableDomestic violence is an issue that needs to be addressed and handled appropriately no matter your status or profession. The dismissal of Honolulu Sgt. Cachola's domestic violence case is yet another example of how police are not being held to the same standard as the general public. It's time to shed a light on this dark crime and strip Sgt. Cachola of his badge before his crimes affect another civilian.58 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ashlee

Follow Our PlanThe East Rockville Neighborhood Plan was approved by the Mayor and City Council 10 years ago. For 10 years the recommendation to create a transition zone in the Southlawn/Redgate industrial area has been ignored. Had the city followed the plan immediately, the issue of the ezStorage facility would likely be nonexistent and our neighborhood identity as a "quiet, secure, residential neighborhood" would be preserved. Instead we have been engaged in a long fight with the City and the developer to protect our neighborhood. It's time to follow the plan now.50 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Peter Witzler

Stop writing tickets in the illegal parking lotThe City of Newburgh is passing out tickets for parking over the white lines or if your tire is touching a white line in the parking lot which the Bd of Ed & Newburgh Free Library use. Recently measured, it was found out that not one parking space is within the City of Newburgh's Code for measurements. Therefore, the City is in violation of it's own Code. How can they legally give you a ticket if the parking space is illegal. Stop writing tickets & return the moneyto those who have already paid for a ticket, which by the way, is $15.103 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Joan Nickerson

GTS BOARD: REINSTATE FACULTY & MEET WITH THEMOn September 30, 2014, eight professors at GTS were fired for exercising their basic (and legal!) rights as faculty members and as workers: the right to form a union. They demanded to meet to address issues that create a “hostile work environment." Their firing doesn’t just impact the professors, but the students and future leaders of the Church. As custodians and overseers of an institution charged with nurturing the next generation of Episcopalian leaders, it is the Board of Trustees’ responsibility to lead by example and practice worker relations that align with the values of the Church and honor workers’ legal and moral rights. At the 2102 General Convention, the Episcopal Church resolved to build networks in the labor movement and work with those in the labor movement to strengthen for a more just society, pledged to oppose legislative attempts that eliminate or reduce collective bargaining rights and consider union rights when making purchasing and contracting decisions. Given the Episcopal Church’s explicate opposition to retaliation and support of workers’ right to organize, the Board of Trustees must quickly reinstate these faculty members and meet with them as a collective bargaining unit.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Aina Gutierrez

Stop Niagara Bottling Company!We strongly feel that neither the Niagara Bottling Company nor any other water bottling company should have rights to take water from Cooper Lake, which is the water source for the City of Kingston and Woodstock. Cooper Lake is man made, and supplied by only one source. At a time when our climate is changing, more droughts, like the one of 2012, are likely to occur and our residents simply cannot afford to let our water be drawn out and sold to people in other regions. Water is for people, not corporate interests.2,432 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Pam Krimsky

Home owners insurance not be limited to breed of canineMany people can not own the dog of their choice because of insurance. This should not stop citizens from having the right to own the dog of their choice. I personally work with shelters that are full of these large breed dogs that are not being adopted because of a combination of the public's misconception of these animals and popular insurance policies not allowing ownership of these dogs.38 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Melanie McEvoy
