The Allegheny Valley School District is considering starting renovations at Colfax upper elementary that will cost an estimated $6.4 million. The other solution is to renovate the other two existing schools to compensate for the students at Colfax, which will cost half of what it costs to renovate Colfax. The means for funding these renovations include increasing taxes, obtaining bonds, and taking from various school funds (including technology). It is the purpose of this petition to demonstrate the public opposition to renovating Colfax, and to highlight the need for a definite plan of action before committing to a decision that will affect everybody from student to community member.

The compositions and methods of US # PATENT 7597910 are endorsed by Jonathan David Lake, Cancer survivor who benefited from medical grade cannabis utilized in this patent. The natural plant is well-documented in scientific journals around the world for medicinal properties and recently endorsed by Dr. Sanjay Gupta. We request an exemption to legally cultivate our certified and tested strain in patent 7597910. Job creation would be immediate and tax revenue would be significant. Recent polls show an overwhelming favor in medical grade cannabis. In advance, thank you.

Extremely high electric bill. I cannot afford these bills. Please HELP!!!

Last year, under pressure from the oil industry, the California Legislature failed to pass a moratorium on fracking. Since then, fracking has continued to expand in California, putting our communities, our water supply and the environment at risk. Californians have another chance to pass a fracking moratorium bill. Senators Holly Mitchell and Mark Leno introduced SB 1132, a strong moratorium bill that, if passed, will protect California from fracking and other dangerous well stimulation techniques. We have a real opportunity to pass a moratorium this year. The oil industry will spend huge amounts of money and political capital fighting this bill, so we need your help. The first State Senate committee hearing is on April 8. We need a yes vote to move SB 1132 forward. Sign the petition to urge our California elected officials to vote yes on SB 1132 for a fracking moratorium now.

Because of FATCA (the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act), many American citizens who reside abroad have been denied bank accounts (or had them closed) by banks which don't want the hassle of responding to this U.S. law. This makes it very hard to conduct normal life. Americans who are also citizens of another country may also naturally retain bank accounts in their former home country, because they might vacation there, have a business there, etc. FATCA should be closely targeted on tax evaders (and terrorism supporters), not on middle class citizens living normal lives. Besides signing the petition, you can also help by submitting stories and especially documentation of problems (e.g., letters from banks denying new accounts or closing old ones) to Stanley Grossman at THANKS!!!

This is a petition against the closing of Sipsey Jr. High School

Davidson College has very few formal resources available for individuals interested in pursuing law after graduation. As a member of the Pre-law Society e-mail list, I have been confronted with how unorganized the process is. Davidson students interested in attending law school after graduation should have more formal resources in the form of an organized Pre-Law program with an advisor similar to the Pre-Med program already on campus.

Living in Los Angeles, my small children are forced to view enormous graphics of serial murderers holding knives dripping with blood, dead bodies, vampires and other various forms of the "undead," barely clothed models in overtly sexual positions, and a whole other host of inappropriate and terrifying images and texts. I can choose what television programs, books, and magazines my children view. There is regulation in regards to content for children's television shows and commercials played during these shows. Yet, I have no control over the images or words my children see every day as they walk on the sidewalk, look out the car window, or travel on public transportation, and there seems to be little to no regulation for these advertisements. Also, as advertisements change often, I never know where the worst offenders will be; I have avoided certain intersections because of a particularly disturbing billboard, only to find a new equally disturbing image plastered up along my alternate route. Children (and adults) should not be subjected to violent and sexual images in public spaces. Please create more stringent regulation on billboard and other public advertisement. Thank you!

In the interests of fairness and humanity

Horses have real feelings just like humans. They are not meant to be used for human consumption but for the joy of having a companion.
