The petition is about our environment and land fills around the whole United States and the world. As well as about inspiring an ecologically- minded culture.

S.W. Dennis Hanley, recently deceased fell just shy of his 30 year pension by 7 weeks. Dennis has been sick for 2 years with terminal cancer and came to work so he could leave his pension for his wife and three young children. S.W. Dennis Hanley, was exemplary in his career having only gone sick twice in 30 years. He was an upstanding citizen, family man and co-worker. Please help Dennis Hanley achieve his final wish of leaving his pension to his family. A pension he worked for for nearly 30 years. Thank you

There is a common theme with mass shooters. Perpetrators are often taking psychoactive pharmaceuticals as prescribed by their mental heath care professional. We need a Congressional hearing on the subject! Pharmaceutical lobbyists would not like a public conversation about the connection between pharmaceuticals and violence, but there is a connection and we need to know to what extent. We cannot know unless there is an investigation. There is no shortage of coverage on where the guns and ammo are acquired, but what about the shooter's altered state of mind?

I am starting this petition because I want my vote to count as much as anyone else's vote, but not more than any one individual. In addition, I am tired of worrying about partisan laws being enacted to suppress the vote and disenfranchise people and the very real possibility of voter rigging.

The Supreme Court has determined that the playing field in America should continue to be tilted to favor the wealthy. By hijacking every state's ability to self-govern with a flood of money from not only wealthy corporations but now wealthy individuals too, every state is ripe for the picking and any individual with an axe to grind and money to burn can make policy, buy elections and the free speech of the rest of us is silenced. The very same people who claim to be against big government and for state's rights need to play by that rule; each individual state has the right to elect people, establish laws and the decisions for that state should be made by the people who live there and who will be directly effected by the outcome. These outside wealthy interests will try to establish policy that will preserve their wealth and power over the rights of the people in that state to self govern.

I'm an 43 year old adoptee who has medical issues, and my autistic son may have more medical issues in the future . I need to know my birth family's medical history. I have found my birth mother and I have personally contacted her on the phone, but she has denied that she is my birth mother; she wished that one day i find my birth mother. So the only alternative to get my family's medical history is by changing the current state law. We are about 6,000,000 adult adoptees in the U.S.A. and most of us have no access to our birth family's medical history, or even our own medical history from before our adoption. Candice Inglezos

Wild animals are becoming extinct due to their largest predators, humans. In circuses and traveling zoos they live a suffering, tortured, sad life. Circuses "train" the youngest vulnerable wild animals by torture and forced horribly into unnatural positions until they are old enough to perform. They eventually perform out of fear, and so they can get food and water. Food and water are withheld in training and to prevent them from relieving themselves during performances. Circuses with wild animals are an ancient, horrible attraction by ignorant uncivilized people. All evolved, supposedly civilized, human beings, should open their eyes to the truth and ban together to put end to this atrocity.

Fans have been waiting decades for a remastered Dead Or Alive catalogue. Their debut album 'Sophisticated Boom Boom' just turned 30 last month and there is a treasure trove of single b-sides, single versions and remixes that remain in the vaults for that album and all their others. At the very least, make these tracks available on iTunes.

Fluoride is most hazardous to our children let alone the rest of the population as a whole. There is absolutely no reason why any human being should ever consume fluoride. It's time to stand up and end the fluoridation of our water.

A 4 way stop on the corner of Summit St. and Spring St. would cut down on speeding and car accidents. Would also save the city a lot of money with emergency services.

Whether one supports Genetically Modified Organism food growing or not, is not the issue here. The issue is that we all have a right to know. I can see when sugar is in my packaged food, or if my fruits and veggies were grown organically or conventionally, so that I can make the choice that makes most sense to me in what I put in my body and the bodies of my children. We should all have the same right to know when our food is being Genetically Modified, so that we can at least make a choice as to whether or not to ingest it. The only reason we don't is because Big Food is dumping tons of money into political pockets to keep that choice from us. Greed is currently winning over ethics. We must turn the tide.
