Making sure every child has access to early learning is a smart investment for California – and it’s the right thing to do. Children who attend preschool are more likely to perform better in school, graduate from a four-year college, and be consistently employed later in life. Let's tell Governor Brown we want everyone, including corporations, to pay their fair share so we can invest in priorities like expanding early learning for all kids!

Cause we are tired of being treated as if we aren't people as well.

Why does Pennsylvania need tuition-free community colleges? +College is becoming so expensive that is becoming only a dream for many Pennsylvania families. +A college degree means higher wages. Over their lifetime, someone with a college degree can expect to earn almost $1 million more than someone with only a high school diploma. +Business owners looking to start up or relocate look for educated workforces. +States as diverse as Tennessee and Oregon are considering tuition-free community college. +The cost of educating a person at the beginning of their career means less reliance on social services in the future.

This petition is to urge our local lawmakers to support twelve important bills required to regulate 'fracking' operations in Illinois. My interest stems from the fact that I live in Illinois, breathe the air, drink the water, and enjoy the natural beauty, pay taxes, and need protection from cleanup and liability if 'fracking' operations are inadequately regulated

Time is of the essence, and our goal is to send this petition to the United Nations. It is the job of the United States citizens to encourage its leaders to not engage in actions that will destabilize International Rule of Law, or violate adherence to aovereign integrity as outlined in resolution A/Res/25/2526 of the United Nations, put into effect on 24 October 1970. We want to see a peaceful resolution in Ukraine, and To See Peace between Russia and Ukraine. Please Adhere to the Geneva Agreement of 17 April 2014. Also, we want our Leaders and Secretary of State Department to Concentrate Economic policies that reflect the United States citizens desire to foster friendly relations with other countries, and also we want our leaders, senators and representatives to concentrate on the Domestic Issues at Home. Do not put our sons, daughters, brothers and sisters, fathers, mothers, aunts and uncles to engage in anymore foreign conflicts. We need to concentrate on using our newly found oil wealth wisely and for the benefit of American Citizens.

I am always worried that the food and products I am buying may contain animal, poultry, seafood or insect product, additives and derivatives. I am sure other consumers feel the same way as most of us at one time or another have unknowingly eaten such foods. This violates our health and ethical choices. Labels and a logo to state "SUITABLE FOR VEGANS" on all restaurant menu cards and food packages would help us select the right products that support our chosen life style of ethical veganism and encourage others to consider their choices too. That's why I created the petition below: Please label food and products free from animal, poultry, seafood or insect products, additives and derivatives with a logo and a stamp "SUITABLE FOR VEGANS" Please sign this important petition that directly impacts your life style choice.

Gema Lowe of Grand Rapids, Michigan is fasting until Rep. Justin Amash signs the petition. She began her fast on April 7th. 177 families are being torn apart by the broken immigration system everyday. We need our representatives to show courage and quit voting along party lines. Signing the discharge petition on HR 15 brings us one step closer to bringing the bill to the floor: families and children are on the line every day that we wait. We need Rep. Amash to sign on to the petition today.

It's tax time again, when our minds turn toward paying the taxes we owe, or possibly getting a refund. But what we don't think of enough is whether our tax system is fair. The richest 1% of Americans are now getting the largest percentage of total national income in almost a century. But many millionaires pay a lower federal tax rate than many middle class Americans. Some don't pay any federal taxes at all. That's because of deductions for things like mortgages on large homes, business entertainment, and gold-plated health care plans. It's because of tax loopholes like offshore tax havens and capital gains loopholes. The situation is even more lopsided with the Social Security tax, which doesn't apply to income greater than $117,000. You can see why Warren Buffett pays a lower tax rate than his secretary. And Republicans want to lower taxes for the wealthy even more! When the rich pay low taxes, everyone else has to foot the bill--or important programs and services get cut. It's time to change that.

This petition is regarding a ban on the minimum wage increase that that Fallin signed into law. We just cant make it on $7.25 an hour. The cost of living has increased but Fallin doesnt want to increase the wage for anyone. She thinks its acceptable to earn $7.25 an hour. Lets see her try to feed her family on $7.25 an hour. Middle class families all over Oklahoma will suffer.

I am their priest and pastor. Rene, Julieta and their children attend my church. I baptized baby Pamela last year (I am an Episcopal priest). I have been in their well-kept and warm home to pray and share food, and to bless their home. Rene is a very active volunteer in the community, helping people dealing with addictions. He deserves a chance. Please sign the petition asking for his release! People of good will, I am asking you to help us obtain Rene's release.

Installing a low-flow toilet, riding your bike, and reusing grocery bags are worthwhile actions that save energy and inspire others to do the same. However, individual actions are not enough to have an effect on climate change. Yesterday the UN released the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. According to the report, greenhouse gas emissions must be cut by 40-70% by 2050 to hold the global temperature increase to 2 degrees Celsius. Cuts this large will require an international effort, but the US is the world's largest economy and we can and should be leaders on this issue. A carbon tax would be the quickest and most efficient way for the US to cut its greenhouse gas emissions. The carbon tax should be revenue-neutral, meaning that any revenue generated from the tax should be offset either by reductions in distortionary taxes (such as income tax) or government transfers.
