• Tell your CA Legislators: Say NO to Big Oil!
    For years, Big Oil’s infamous lobby groups have been using big money and back-room politics to corrupt legislators, push their corporate agenda, and pull the strings at our State Capitol. It’s time to end Big Oil’s toxic influence on California and pass a long overdue oil extraction tax that would provide critical funding for our state’s childcare, preschool, higher education and parks. Let your representatives in Sacramento know you’re watching and help give them the courage to say NO to Big Oil.

  • North Elementary: Keep Our School Safe
    District 47 Board Policy Section 7:190 states a knife is a weapon & the student shall be expelled for a period of at least 1 calendar year unless modified by the Superintendent or the Board. Our child is a student in this classroom and has been personally affected by this troubled child for the last 2 years. This child is known by other students, teachers and parents because of this child's issues with physical & violent aggression towards other students over the years in the classroom & at recess. We have zero tolerance for weapons in schools and believe every child has a right to a safe learning environment.

  • Gary Downing for Congress
    Social Security and Medicare are benefits that our seniors have earned through decades of hard work. Yet for years, Republicans, Tea Party and Libertarians have tried to privatize Social Security and turn Medicare into a voucher system. Democratic Candidate Gary Downing has vowed to protect Social Security and Medicare from these threats and support 87% of voters that want to strengthen Social Security and Medicare. And I’m standing with Gary Downing. Stop threatening to undermine Social Security and Medicare now.

  • NYC Arch Diocese: Explain Tuition Disparity for Saint Joseph School Kingston NY
    I am signing this petition because I have simply had enough of being told what is going to happen without an explanation. The Arch Diocese has continually (sometimes with the assitance of local influence)tried to close Saint Joseph School. We as parents, and paying consumers, deserve an explanation as to why a school in the same demographic would have a significantly lower tuition, and why when we were told we'd all be at the same level, there continues to be a huge disparity.

  • Full Transparency in Government
    Secrecy in government grew to an unprecedented level under both Bush presidencies, and has only increased in the Obama White House. We, the American People, no longer have any idea what our elected officials are doing, or whom they are serving
