We must do the right thing by putting an end to circuses that have wild animals, to teach our children the truth about circuses and kindness to all animals, and to speak out for wild animals in circuses. Don't believe the circus, they say wild animals love to perform and live healthy, safe lives. Facebook: Speak Out for Circus Animals

This petition is to show the support from the many locals that would like to see the Plaza Theater revived and open to the public.

Individual members of Michigan Legislature are a lot more receptive to petitions that are started by their own constituents. PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE THIS PETITION WITH EVERYONE WITHIN OUR DISTRICT!! Warmest Regards, A local very small farm hobbyist

Anneewakee Trails subdivision is one of the largest subdivisions in Douglas County, GA, with hundreds of our children attending school throughout Douglas County daily. Our children's safety should be our top priority, but vehicles parked along the roadways, in addition to speeding vehicles, are an increased hazard to our children's safety and should be stopped. Commissioner Kelly Robinson has proposed coordinating with the Board of Education to designate NO PARKING ZONES for bus stops, and to partner with the Department of Transportation, to install speed humps throughout the community.

YES, I HAVE LIVED IN ONE HOUSE 58 YEARS. THIS IS A SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLING GROUP OF SEVERAL THOUSAND HOMES. THE AREA NEXT TO US WAS UP FOR A WONDERFUL ZONING LAW ELECTION MANY YEARS AGO. SPECIAL INTERESTS HIRED LAWYERS TO DEFEAT THE PROPOSAL OF NO BUSINESSES WITH SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLINGS IN THAT AREA. WE LOST. NOW THAT AREA IS CRIME-RIDDEN AND BUSINESSES, WHICH ARE NIGHT CLUBS AND MUCH WORSE. INSTEAD OF REMAINING THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE, WE ARE THE WORST. MY HOME REALLY LOST VALUE. WE HAD PARK AREAS FOR WILD LIFE THAT NEVER WERE REALIZED.

My daughter and I walk to school daily and step over glass bottles and condoms in the yards we have to go through. That trash blows into the neighboring businesses and just stays. We pick up what we are able to but sometimes more than just one family is needed to help.

Legislation is often crafted by lobbyists for special interest and introduced by members of Congress without any vetting. This is due to the fact that they feel indebted to the lobbyists for their election funding. Also their staff is overworked and frequently does not review what is being proposed.

I've connected and helped saved lives with a free and open internet; not only that, but my perspective and personal life have been affected heavily by the internet. I've learned greatly and I have taught greatly because of the open internet.

One out of every 12 people you know is a convicted felon and must check the "yes" box on applications. This question allows application screeners to discriminate against felons regardless of their rehabilitation status.

As an artist my blog and website are essential in reaching my on-line art students, in presenting my new paintings to clients and potential clients and in sharing ideas with fellow artists. Additionally two on-line artist cooperative sites are essential in offering prints for sale and in making my work seen by anyone from anywhere in the world who wishes to see it

We all suffer because America's election system is not transparent and neutral for any candidate.

Due to the boom in hydrofracking, oil and gas companies have a glut of product to transport to refineries on the coasts of America. They are transporting this highly volatile, explosive crude over antiquated rail lines in tank cars designed to carry corn syrup and molasses. The federal government reports that last year, more than 1.15 million gallons of crude oil leaked and spilled from rail tank cars. That's more than was spilled in all the previous forty years! Top federal rail administrator Karl Alexy recently stated that it is impossible to "design a rail car strong enough to withstand crude oil rail train accidents ..." In August, 2013, forty-seven innocent people were incinerated when these cars derailed and exploded in Lac Megantic, Quebec. It's expected to cost billions to rebuild Lac Megantic and compensate the victims, but the railroad and the crude oil owner have "gone out of business." In December, 2013, a 106-car crude oil train derailed in Castleton, North Dakota. Eighteen tank cars exploded; the fired burned for two days. On April 30, 2014, six DOT-111 rail cars of a virtual pipeline of crude derailed and exploded in Lynchburgh, Virginia, burning for hours and polluting the water supplies for thousands of people. These DOT-111 rail cars were declared unsafe and hazardous by US and Canadian railroad officials in 2011, yet they are still carrying millions of gallons of explosive crude oil through unsuspecting and helpless communities all across the United States, every day. This is wrong. President Obama can use his authority under last March's Executive Order to halt this unprecedented and unnecessary risk today. Let's make this happen before another person dies in flames.
