White House, Congress: STOP Militant Policing in the U.S.The situation in Ferguson, MO affects all United States citizens. We cannot allow our police to become unchecked forces against our own people. We must stop the trend of militant policing, before the tears gas canisters and SWAT teams are in our own backyards, and we must demand justice for the civil rights violations that have already happened in Ferguson. I suggest creating legistlation for solutions like: - Mandatory ethics and multicultural training for police officers around the country; - Increased diversification of police forces - a police force should be representative of, and made up of, the same people it's protecting and serving; this includes cultural backgrounds, educational levels, skin color, sexual orientations, religions, etc.; - Changes need to be made to DoD 1033: The Department of Defense’s Excess Property Program This program is too far-reaching; it provides officers with equipment they don’t need, without providing them with important training. While items such as helmets, armor, recording devices, boots, canteens, and binoculars are useful and should be donated to police forces, items such as LRAD units, large armored tanks, heavy, military grade weaponry, and the like, ought to be given to our National Guard – where units are already trained in their use, and where they can be deployed around the nation when necessary (and when an appropriate process has been applied to their deployment). I encourage anyone who agrees, or who has other viable solutions, to add them to your signature!117 of 200 SignaturesCreated by NinaCarmen Monroe

MISSOURI STATE LAW REQUIRING ALL POLICE TO WEAR AUDIO AND VIDEO RECORDERS WHEN ON DUTYThe police are armed, have the right to detain us, to seize our assets, investigate and monitor us, and to use deadly force against us. If the officer that shot Michael Brown had been wearing a recording device there would be no question about what actually happened. There would be no need for an investigation. Even Dashboard cameras are not enough. They must wear helmet cameras or glasses similar to Google Glass. We pay for the salaries of the police, we pay for their jails and their cars and their guns. They work for us. We have a right to know how they are doing their jobs.71 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rachael Cailliach

Protect Our ArcticThe Arctic is an amazing place, home to whales, polar bears, and other amazing creatures. We need to act now to protect it for future generations. A lot of us from the generation of the 50s,60s, and 70s are fortunate to have grandchildren or children we love and care about. Their generation deserves to grow up and have a full life on this planet. If we allow the habitat of the arctic creatures to be ruined ,we are sealing our destiny as well.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bette RItchotte

EpiPens For Our School ProgramMy good friend has a child at Clear Creek with severe nut allergies. So severe that he cannot even come into contact with traces of any kind of nut. My daughter is also affected with allergies to nuts and some trees. Unfortunately, we are seeing more and more allergies in our children. We need to make sure that we are prepared if one of them goes into Anaphylaxis shock. In these critical moments our school nurse may not be available. This could be the difference between that child's life and death. Just imagine if your child couldn't breathe. I watched it happen on a small scale with my child and it was one of the scariest moments of my life. Help us make EpiPens accessible all over school and get qualified personnel training to administer them. The cost is low and training can be done online within an hour. Please help us.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stacy Hall

Protect our ArcticThe Arctic is an important place, same as everywhere else in our world. Regardless of what immature potentials industrial humans may see, it is important that we refrain from abusing it's wonders. The Arctic is home to creatures and ecosystems which deserve respect. Just because we disrespect and exploit the rest of our world does not make it a valid way to continue. Please help make a difference Mayor Ivy Taylor.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rachel Milner

The Chattanooga initiativeComcast is one of the few companies that is essentially allowed to have a regional monopoly. They continue spiking their price for Internet while throttling speeds and charging ridiculous amounts for cable television services, providing absolutely horrific and downright insulting customer service. The only reason they do this is because they CAN! There is no competition. There is no "good guy." Google can only do so much with Fiber. Let's stand up and have our voices heard. We as a populace do not need to put up with this. Let's push back. Let's show them that a corporation can't push us around. Let's leverage our local governments and make a push to make this happen. It started in Chattanooga; let's continue it in the Denver/Boulder metropolitan areas and continue growing the movement!38 of 100 SignaturesCreated by The Chattanooga initiative

The Northern Arctic PreserveThe Arctic is a unique place inhabited by creatures like polar bears and whales, full of magnificent vistas, and home to people who maintain the traditions of their ancestors. For millennia, it has remained untouched by oil-drilling or industrial fishing. We want to keep it this way. We see the big picture - we do not want short term interests ruining something so special and valuable.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Karen Socher
