"Passage of The Madison Holleran Law."On January 17, 2014 a former student of mine took her own life. Madison Holleran was a freshman at U Penn, and she was also an extremely talented runner on U Penn's track team. Her suicide left a void in the hearts of so many people across the United States. This law would allow us to keep Madison's legacy alive, and help other young adults from choosing suicide as a way of escaping the pressures of college expectations.22 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Edward G Modica

Stop gas stations from charging extra for credit card useGas stations are charging upwards of fifteen cents and in some cases a dollar more per gallon for the use of a credit or debit card. This should be a "cost of doing business" or a they should charge a small percentage of the TOTAL sale not per gallon.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Frank Ruiz Sr

Make Pennsylvania a Canine No-Kill State.The abuse and neglect of dogs has become a world-wide epidemic. The overbreeding, lack of birth control, and abandonment of canines has contributed greatly to this serious problem. I want to see all dogs have a chance at a safe and happy life by solving the problems that we humans have created for them.162 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Chuck LaMark

Make "Upskirt Photos" Illegal in MassachusettsCNN legal analyst Sunny Hostin said the law has not caught up to technology and called it an assault on a woman's right to privacy. "I think the courts got it wrong," Hostin said. "The spirit of the law makes it clear it is about the person's privacy."

Stop Senator Wyden's Ancient Forests Logging BillsSenate bills 1301 and 1784 would undermine the Northwest Forest Plan, the Endangered Species Act (ESA), and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) across Oregon's National Forests and BLM O & C lands to prop up "too big to fail" mega tree fiber operations owned by some of the wealthiest families in Oregon. Senator Wyden's goal is to more than double current tree fiber extraction levels upon 10 million acres of publicly owned federal lands throughout Oregon. SB 1301 would sunset in 2029 and SB 1784 has no sunset date. Current laws are already failing to recover 3 iconic endangered Northwest forest species - the Coho salmon, marbled murrelet and the Northern spotted owl - from extinction. Senator Wyden's tree fiber extraction bills, 1301 and 1784, could place the nail in the coffins of these 3 ESA listed species and Oregon's last stands of ancient forests.

Say No, to Carrying Guns into SC Bars & Restaurants.Many of us who live in the coastal resort areas of South Carolina, like Hilton Head, and Charleston, rely on out-of-state tourism revenues. We feel that allowing concealed firearms into places that serve alcohol is a recipe for tragedy. We also believe that posting "no guns allowed" signs in restaurant windows sends the wrong message to visitors, and will have a negative impact overall.159 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Carmen Hawkins DeCecco

Increase the minimum wageI would love to see the minimum wage increased. While in graduate school, I did substitute teaching(not minimum wage), beauty consultant(min.+ small percentage for making the owner rich), and waitressed for min.+ tips. My daughter is a delivery driver, minimum wage and she has to pay her own gas. Pizza Hut is lucky to have a driver with a math degree. Many teacher's aids in schools do not make the minimum, they make less than the substitutes. Many companies do not even allow their workers to work full time, so they don't have to pay benefits. Most people have or are looking for a second job to make ends meet. LET'S BE FAIR! :)83 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Beverly LaGrone
