• Stop the Marshall Tract commercial office complex
    This petition is to bring awareness to the proposed 5 and 7 story office building planned to be constructed on the Marshall Tract of land in the Lost Creek subdivision. The office buildings are slated to be built right next to single family homes. Lost Creek is a very nice community and was recently recognized by Newsweek as one of the top educated neighborhoods in the nation. We would like to keep it that way and feel that office buildings would impact our neighborhood adversely. We plan to take the signatures to the local government to help them make the correct decision to not let this land be used for commercial office space.

  • Cancel NFL Tax Exempt Non-Profit Status
    Any taxpayer of any city/community who ends up paying for these rich team owners and coaches loses on these deals. Especially those for whom the price of tickets has escalated to the point where they are not even able to purchase them. And, for others, such as myself and my whole extended family, who do NOT EVER watch any NFL game and resent the intrusion on our TV viewing when they always run over on nights when we want to watch something else it adds insult to injury. If the owners want a new stadium, let them pay for it - and cancel the NFL tax-Exempt non-profit status immediately. It is unbelievable that this even exists and we were hood-winked when this was enacted.

  • Take sergeant bansect off the market.FOR GOOD.
    I am tired of seeing animals in pain due to this product; it needs removed from shelves all over the world.Even if they just change their labeling. Cats & Dogs cannot physically use the same product.It hinders their health, a while a go a former room-mate used the product on one of the best cat's i'd ever met, Kiki. She didn't know and I dont fault her for it... I fault the company.Luckily, Kiki Survived- but many many cats do not.I had to sit threw a young cat going threw what Princess did- I refuse to see anymore.

  • Resign FCC Chairman Wheeler
    I am writing this petition in hopes of preserving the Internet as it is. By his proposal, Chairman Wheeler shows he's more interested in keeping a job in the waiting once his term is up than the wishes of the American People and the opinion of much of the World.

  • Congress to be Drug Tested
    The behavior of some Members of Congress makes me suspicious that their minds have been altered by polypharmaceuticals and/or illegal substances.

  • Get big trucks off secondary roads where possible
    Safety. Big trucks on secondary roads are dangerous, especially on secondary roads with little or no shoulders.

  • Raise Voluntary Reparations for Slavery through a Lottery
    I 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.

  • 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.

  • Stop Illinois Tollway from charging outrageous fines for missed tolls
    I 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.

  • 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."
