Stop Illegal Activities in Harpersfield, NYSince beginning operations in 2013, the NY 'Safety' Track has conducted illegal racing activities at its road safety training facility in rural/residential Harpersfield, NY, regularly running twenty five 1200cc motorcycles at a time at speeds up to 140 miles an hour. The noise levels are destroying the quality of life for residents up to 5 miles away, denying local residents the right to peaceful enjoyment of their properties. My neighbors and I were forced to go to great expense to file a lawsuit against the town and the track, which we won unequivocally. Supreme Court Justice Brian Burns ruled that the activity at the track was illegal and that the town of Harpersfield was obligated to enforce the law. The town has publicly and unabashedly refused to do so - thus far, with impunity. Please help us pressure Harpersfield Supervisor Jim Eisel and his town officials to abide by the law.224 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Jakob Rostboll

Mayor DeBlasio: End corruption and incompetence within DSS/HRAAs a single mom, my children and I were able to escape our abuser, their father; a situation which has left us without income or child support. Four (4) months after seeking emergency assistance from HRA/DSS, our civil rights have been violated in that our case has been grossly mishandled and left dormant. We have had to live without means to purchase food, clothing, toilet paper, etc. Innumerable phone calls to DSS went unanswered and/ or the phone numbers provided were non-working numbers. We are now in the process of going to a homeless shelter, despite HRA/DSS programs designed to prevent this and despite me fighting every single day, with the help of Senator Tony Avella (D, Queens), to prevent this. It should be noted that myself and Senator Avella are in possession of every single defective document and all telephone records and every erroneous email and communication between myself and HRA/DSS. As an unemployed lawyer in a dismal economy, I choose to fight this battle on behalf of all New Yorkers in need, in order to prevent harm and homelessness to other families.18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Donna A.

Let's stop private campaign funding.Today candidates for either house of the congress cannot be competitive without huge amounts of cash from oligarchs who buy their allegiance. We need to decide whether we want a truly representative government, or one that only represents the interests of major contributors. Or America dies.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Phillip W. Hoffman

Tell the Senate: Improve Birth Control Access for Women in the MilitaryMore women are on active duty in the military than ever before. 97 percent of servicewomen are of reproductive age, and they’re being deployed in regions where it’s a big challenge to get birth control, leaving many servicewomen without the care they deserve. It is time we as a country address this problem and make sure we improve access for the courageous women serving our country. A new bill in Congress would vastly improve access to contraception for women in the military. Introduced by Sens. Jeanne Shaheen, Harry Reid, and Patty Murray, it would ensure that all service members and their families would get full contraceptive coverage and counseling so they can pick the family planning option that’s right for them. Servicewomen are critical to our country’s safety, and they shouldn’t be denied health care that only women need. Take action now and tell your senators to stand up for women in the military and help pass this bill.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by NARAL Pro-Choice America

Remove Anti-Semitic posts on FacebookThe drastic rise in global anti-Semitism and violence against Jews has put not only the Jews in danger, but humanity as we look at the faces of the next Holocaust. The Auschwitz tattoo on my father's arm is still visible as we listen to people call out for death to the Jews. Facebook has become a bulletin board for such hate mongering. It has to stop.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Susan B. Fried

changing child support standards and regulations.I'm starting this petition to get congress and child support to make some much needed child support regulations changes. Men go months without paying and nothing is being done. When they are finally punished and the punishment is over they continue to pay nothing. Women are working 2 different jobs to maintain a house for their kids while the man gets off scott free. I should not have to bring in my income to a review when I'm not being ordered to pay child support. Child support payments should not be based off of both the parents incomes only the father. It's time to stand up an actually make the system work the way it should.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alice

Insurance Company Pays $21,000 Settlement To Elderly Man In Buckets Of CoinsIt wasn't bad enough that a young manager from Adriana's Insurance Inc assaulted my elderly grandfather, but after he won the settlement, they paid him $21,000 in dimes, nickles, pennies and quarters. On top of, that my grandfather has a pacemaker and is recovering from a recent hernia surgery. From Reddit: Here is the back story, my grandfather is 73 years old and has had a series of health issues over the years, some so severe that he has been hospitalized for days. He now lives day to day with a pacemaker. He is Hispanic and has lived a simple life in East Los Angeles for years with his wife. He aquired Adriana's Insurance and was a paying client. He went in to see why they were overcharging him. The manager at the time realized they made a mistake and started to become irate with my elderly grandfather (this manager was young and in healthy shape). This manager then laid hands on my grandfather and in a more than aggressive manner grabbed him as if a riot cop would and moved him outside. Cops responded and arrested the manager. This claim was filed about more than a year ago and they recently settled in June 2014. They payed him 2 months later IN BUCKETS OF COINS!!!!! Just about $21,000 worth of pennies, dimes, nickles, and quarters! At this time he is still recovering from a recent hernia surgery. Here's how they delivered it, about 8 guys jumped out of a van in front of my grandpa's law office and started unloading buckets upon buckets of coins outside of the doors. The law office had to argue with the delivery men to take my grandfathers settlement inside where it was safe from the public. My grandfather is very traditional and believes this gesture of payment is an insult since they know he can't even carry one bucket of coins alone. The family only asks that you spread the word of the unprofessional actions that this insurance company given to one of their own clients. He wants fair justice from the company. By signing, you help support my grandpa and his fight for justice. File a complaint against Adriana's Insurance on the California Board of Insurance website here: http://www.insurance.ca.gov/contact-us/0200-file-complaint Sign the petition and show the BBB (Better Business Bureau ) that this company should not be operating The Family appreciates every bit of support, Thank you!

Chest Cams Reduce Incidents/Complaints of Police AbuseA study conducted in Rialto, CA showed conclusively that chest cameras worn by police officers reduced officers' use of force by 80% and public complaints against officers dropped by a whopping 88%. The use of the cameras protects the suspect from potential abuse and officers from frivolous and unfounded complaints.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Shirley Lawson
