Keep public Pre-K education part of our community!Did you know that Portland Schools have decided to close the Pre-K program at Longfellow? Neither did we! Longfellow's Pre-K program has been a big success, getting some great results for students from all over the city. Longfellow & Hall School's area families are missing out on the possibility of a Pre-K education at their local school. Children across the city are being denied the opportunity to experience a Pre-K program at one of the leading schools in the state of Maine. Return the public Pre-K program to Longfellow School!119 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Ben Allen

PROHIBITION OF GOVERNMENT REVENUE (TAXES) EXPENDITURE FOR PERFORMANCE BASED BONUSES.Basic Premise (edited 05/31/2014): Any person employed directly by the state or federal government - or - any person employed by an agency or bureau which can be construed to be part of the state or federal government (i.e. IRS) should be prohibited from receiving any additional compensation above their hourly or salaried wage if such payments are derived from tax dollars, fines, fees or levies of any kind. Such person would be defined as persons employed by Federal , state or local governments and their appointed agencies which take its direction directly from the Federal Government, including all departments and their subsidiary offices subject to direction by the Executive Office of the President, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Department of the Interior, Department of Justice, Department of Labor (Including federal and state OSHA), State Department, Department of Transportation, Department of the Treasury and Department of Veterans Affairs. In light of the fact that current and past poor performance by certain agencies have failed to provide the services paid for by the tax paying citizens of the U.S (i.e. Veterans Affairs and Internal Revenue Service), it is clear that such practices do not provide added value to our tax dollar and in fact contribute to an environment of corruption. Service to the nation and it's citizens is a honor and privilege and in consideration of that, the government is not obligated to be an employer but rather a limited service provider as defined in the U.S. Constitution and a frugal steward of the peoples monies. Further, persons accepting positions working for the government do so with full recognition that the compensation for their efforts are directly derived from the revenue created from taxes of an already strained budget, it is unreasonable that such persons should be paid bonuses above and beyond their hourly or salaried wage, particularly when such employing agencies often create additional cost to the common citizen through fees, permits, levies and where poor performance causes a burden to those citizen who have paid for said services.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kenneth Escajeda

The Dream ActThis is about the Dream Act. It is an act that will help undocumented students be eligible for federal economic aid. For example, because of this issue a lot of my friends couldn't get into college and they dropped out because they couldn't afford a large amount of money.24 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dolma Tsering

Child AbuseI also have a child and I don't want any child to get hurt by his or her parents. Having a baby is not easy, but hurting one is easy. However, it hurts the child very much.18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by ozoda rasulova

Save 3,342 Families from Medicaid cuts!Help us SAVE 3,342 NC FAMILIES! A proposed Medicaid budget cut will force people with disabilities to enter institutions rather than receive health care at home. It will force working families to lose their jobs so they can stay home to take care of their loved ones, and no doubt costly hospitalizations will increase. These cuts make life more difficult, if not impossible, for thousands of NC families in great need.555 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Concerned Citizens
