Build the Commons Building at Northfield High SchoolAs families with students who are approaching high school age, we are concerned that DPS's significant changes to the design and construction of Phase I of the Northfield High School will put the success of the high school at risk. DPS is asking parents to send their children to a partially-built high school. Students will bear the risk of a future bond passage to complete what was scheduled to be built in Phase I when voters approved the 2012 bond. The planned Phase 2 on the 2016 bond was intended to build out needed capacity, not to finish the common spaces Phase 1 was to provide and that DPS construction services said would be more cost-effective to build all at once in Phase 1. As Denver residents, we are committed to this city and Denver Public Schools. The success of this high school is a city-wide issue. DPS has a chance to build this high school community where students from all over Denver can find their place, push their boundaries and succeed.204 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Friends of Northfield

Label GMO Foods.People close to me have problems aggravated by certain GMO crops, but they can currently never know if these are in the food they eat. Once in the environment, genetic modifications spread and infect other crops, plants or animals by cross-breeding. Side effects are predictable but commonly ignored by industry. Public knowledge of the scope of the changes of the past two or three years, and of the harm already done, is very limited. This begins to address that knowledge gap.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dr. Nicholas R. White

Leave Sunday Parking Meter Enforcement AloneAir pollution caused by traffic congestion contributes to asthma attacks, especially for kids, increases the probability of cancer, increases the probability of heart disease, and increases the probability of premature death. The World Health Organization categorizes air pollution, including that from cars, as a carcinogen just like cigarette smoke. Parking meter enforcement on Sundays is proven to reduce traffic congestion because drivers are spending only 2 minutes circling, looking for parking instead of 4 minutes or more when Sunday meters were not enforced. See: http://sf.streetsblog.org/2014/04/01/reiskin-lets-keep-sunday-parking-meters-but-not-enforce-them/ http://sf.streetsblog.org/2014/01/16/mayor-lees-spineless-sunday-meter-reversal-bad-for-business-bad-for-sf/48 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jamie Whitaker

Gender Equality in the WorkplaceWomen are largely absent from the top levels of corporate management, only 7 out of 100 of the highest earning CEOs in America are women! The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Office has recently issued some strong and detailed recommendations for removing barriers for equal pay and improve the status for women in the workplace. The Paycheck Fairness Act was a good beginning to the fight for equality, don't let this issue be set aside so easily. Tell the White House and Congress that this bill needs to be re-introduced and then passed!84 of 100 SignaturesCreated by donna magee

Mosquito Management Needed in StapletonMale mosquitos are already swarming the neighborhood, which doesn't bode well for the summer months. Last summer it became excruciatingly clear that there is a need for mosquito population control in Stapleton's parks, open space and water retention areas. This is not only an issue of comfort, but also of protecting the health of our residents. The purpose of this petition is not to prescribe which measures are appropriate (spraying, adding fish to the ecosystems, etc.), but to draw attention to the need for an immediate and long-term solution.1,112 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Jessica Coppom

The Jason and Philip ActIn 2003 on December 27th my brother Jason "JJ" Jaco and uncle Philip "Butch" Mocalis, Jr. were killed instantly by a female truck driver who suffured with schizophrenia and had not been taking her medicine Haldol, she had a hallucination stating cars cut her off which bystanders and witnesses stated that there were no other vehicles around. The driver was only charged with two counts of manslaughter (A slap on the wrist) and had her license taken away for any driving jobs in California, so she moved to Nevada and got a driving job for a school bus full of kids. When someone gets their driving privileges taken away for any driving jobs it should be nation wide not just the state it happened in. This is not right too many people are losing their loved ones to truck drivers and not getting compensated for their loss. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, NO MORE!!!15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cherice Novo
