• Don't Leave Poor People Out of the Minimum Wage Debate
    As actors who plan on participating in the Fall 2014 show, we feel that this is not an adequate amount of time to prepare a production and will place undue stress on all involved.

    This case needs to be further investigated. Evidence and photos shows definite signs of a murder cover-up not a suicide. God bless.

  • Salt Lake County County: Show your love of baseball!
    I am 11 years old and I love baseball. An indoor baseball facility would contribute greatly to the quality of baseball teams in Salt Lake City. To be a good baseball player, and to build good baseball leagues, players have to be able to practice year round. I am starting this petition with hope that someday Salt Lake City will have an indoor baseball facility for the general public.

  • Stop The FCC Plan To Create Internet "Slow Lane"
    An open "Internet" should be based on "net neutrality" however the proposed rule-making effort by the FCC will create a two tier system. The fast lane for corporate customers and the slow lane for everyone else. “Artists, developers, culture workers, media-makers, nonprofit organizations, community, civic and church groups must tell the FCC that this isn’t good enough. We need real rules of the road for ISPs to guarantee that creative expression and entrepreneurship can thrive in the online ecosystem.

  • Parents against Texas STARR Test
    My children attend Killeen School District and I am against standardized testing that determines the promotion level of students. If a child passes all their subjects in school and fail the STARR exam at the end of the school year, they will not be promoted to the next grade level. That is not right!! Children are stressed out at an early age and are taking medications because of the pressures of STARR Testing every year. We are building our kids up during the school year to tear them down at the end if they do not pass ONE test. How can ONE test determine if your child has learned anything throughout the year. If he or she is passing every quarter then that demonstrates that they are getting the concepts and are learning the curriculum that is put before them. We need to put an end to STARR testing!!!

  • Get more corporations to ditch private prison industry!
    Private prisons spend millions on lobbying to get more people behind bars and keep them there longer. Their facilities are rife with abuse and neglect, and horror stories cover everything from wrongful death suits to a woman forced to give birth in a toilet.

    Surprise, surprise: the same Cliven Bundy refusing to pay taxes, who won't follow federal law, and is openly threatening militia violence, also happens to be super, super racist.

  • Safeway CEO: Label GMOs
    When I’m buying food at Safeway, I should be able to make an informed choice. But Safeway doesn’t label its products that contain genetically modified ingredients, or GMOs. While more research needs to be done to understand the full impact of GMOs, they are not without risk. For example, GMOs are responsible for a 400 million pound increase in pesticide use in the United States between 1995 and 2011 [1]. And GMOs don’t undergo independent safety testing before they’re allowed onto the market, which the American Medical Association recommends [2]. It’s time for Safeway to follow the lead of other grocery chains like Whole Foods and label GMOs in its store-brand products so that we can decide for ourselves whether or not we want to eat GMOs.
