Raise Voluntary Reparations for Slavery through a LotteryI am the President of the Reparations Labor Union and a descendant of Africans captured during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. The year 2019 marks the 400th anniversary of America's involvement in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. America should immediately enact voluntary reparations in order to turn a grievous anniversary into a celebration of truth, correction, and reconciliation.160 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Anita E.

END THE DRUG WAR!I am personally affected by the drug war, but then, every American is. Money that could be going to the most important cause--education--is being wasted on police and prisons.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Matthew Richardson

Stop Illinois Tollway from charging outrageous fines for missed tollsI personally have had multiple fines during a time period that I did not realize my EZ Pass was not activitated. The only notification I received was the multiple fines adding up to over $300+ dollars at once. The only way to work out a payment plan, I was told, was to wait put in for a hardship payment plan. If you are not able to pay that right away, they send your balance over to a law offices. Eventually such fines, when coupled with additional fees from the law office of Arnold Scott Harris in Chicago, left me with a $7,000.00 bill. I am not the only one affected by these outrageous fines. I have heard multiple stories from friends who have had surprise charges sent to them by mail weeks after missing a toll when unaware that their I-Pass or EZ-Pass wasn't activated. I want the tollway to stop this insane practice and begin lowering fines first. There needs to be a payment plan option as well listed on the website so that users never have to face their credit rating being dropped because of unfair collections processes.527 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Chandra Owens

Save Lake County Library Services Now!The Lake County Library system needs your help because we are in danger of losing our only Reference Librarian in the county and the Upper Lake library is in danger of closing -- forever. The reason this is happening is because in December 2011 the State cut all funding for libraries to ZERO. The library still has a dedicated property tax, voted in by tax payers in 1974, but without State funding it's not enough. The Library has had to pull from its savings to continue operating. All the fat has been cut from the budget (with landscaping set to be jettisoned), and the only thing left is vital library services. The Lake County Board of Supervisors will be considering options to reduce library expenses on September 23, 2014. If you're fortunate enough to HAVE email, use it to let the County Supervisors know how important library services are in our communities. Just say "Please don't cut library services on Tuesday -- they are our only PUBLIC education resources for local residents."270 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Betsy Cawn

NYS HEALTHY WORKPLACE BILLI myself get's treated badly sometimes because the supervisor either has personal problems or sometimes they just look for a whippy boy. You can do the best of work and still get treated wrongly. This causes stress illness to the employees who sometimes need time off or longer and can affect job performances to lower. Good atmosphere good performance bad atmosphere attitude toward the job may suffer. I want this bill to pass so employees do not have to put up with nonsense like this.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Philip Brodsky

Hotels should screen businesses for meeting room use.Too often, businesses that run scams, such as "show up and get a free vacation, no strings..." use hotel conference rooms to run their scam, which people fall for and end up either signing up and waiting for nothing, or even being tricked into laying down money and never hearing from them again. I would like hotels to screen those who wish to use their rooms for selling. It won't stop all, but many from ripping people off.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Winnie Klinger

fair pay for doctors taking medicaid/medicare patientsThis affects everyone on Medicaid and Medicare, usually only about 1/4 of his fee. Many Doctors have stopped accepting these patients, making it difficult to get proper care and enough time with the Doctors. Finding a Primary care Doctor is difficult as well as a specialist who will take patients. Finding the right Doctor is even harder, you have to take what you can find, this is unfair to the Doctors and Patients both. Pay Doctors at least half their fee. This needs to be a priority as more people are added to Medicaid and Medicare each year.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jeanette French
