  • Get PAC Money Out of Santa Fe Election
    Three Mayoral Candidates met the qualifications for public financing in the first Santa Fe Mayoral Campaign to be publicly financed, Patti Bushee, Bill Dimas and Javier Gonzales. With 9 days remaining in the race, two PACS and two labor Unions are spending unlimited dollars for Gonzales and against his opponents. At last reporting period, the unregulated Gonzales PACs and Unions were matching his allowed spending dollar for dollar.

  • Florida revise your Stand Your Ground Law to protect the innocent lives of black Americans
    Several states are ran under the Stand Your Ground Law allowing citizens to protect themselves on their property against criminals. However the state of Florida has shown clear abuse with multiple unjust killings under the protection of this law. Black men live with many false stereotypes that has caused other cultures to judge them and live in fear because of these stereotypes causing black men to be the most feared individual in America. However everyone deserves to live the American Dream that includes freedom of speech and justice for unjust acts. With the unnecessary killings that have taken place over the last 10 years in Florida that dream has been sadly taken away for many blacks in this state. It's time to wake up and say Enough is Enough. This issues touches me deeply because I am raising a young black king who deserves a chance at living out his dreams without living in fear because he is black male. Sign this petition and stand up as one to boycott Florida during spring break 2014. Spring Break is a very busy time for Florida and tourist bring a lot of money to this state during this season. We the American people want to see a change in Florida's Stand Your Ground Law so that innocent lives of black individuals are not unjustly taken over and over again because of fear that was created through stereotypes. An unjust law is no law at all. If we do not stand for something we will fall for anything.

  • Bag the Bag in Athens
    Single use plastic bags are commonly used for a short time yet carry long term environmental and economic impacts. They are a temporary product made from nonrenewable petroleum, yet take an estimated 1000 years to decompose. We hope Athens can be a frontrunner of environmental and economic sustainability through the joint efforts of legislators, businesses, and citizens to help reduce this unnecessary product: the single use plastic bag.

  • Cutler Michaud 'Take the pledge' - Stop LePage
    We can't have a replay of 2010! If Independent Eliot Cutler and Democrat Mike Michaud divide the vote against LePage, he’ll be back pontificating and bad-mouthing everyone in sight — for another four years! It’s time now that we start thinking about what we can do. Here’s a simple, straightforward idea: Two weeks before the election, the Michaud and Cutler camps should take an honest look at the most recent poll, and if one or the other is at least 10 points behind, he should do us all a favor, drop out and throw his support to the leading candidate.

  • Trader Joe's: Combat the Food Desert in Woodlawn
    My family has a lot of food sensitivities and dietary restrictions and the only place I can shop in Woodlawn for healthy foods is the 61st Street Farmer's Market. As I worked with a local organization to further research this issue, I discovered that while our community has significant buying power, our current stores are not providing healthy fresh options and the grocery store brokers are not counting our daytime population which includes the University of Chicago, U of C Hospitals, and many more large employers.

  • Universal Access to Higher Education
    The average student loan debt for the class of 2012 was $29,400, a one year increase of more than 10%, with an average annual increase of six percent from 2008 to 2012 (as reported by the Institute for College Access & Success' Project on Student Debt). Students are being priced out of higher-education and sacrificing their futures in order to go to college. In the long term, the nation is losing the benefit of these students being able to dream, plan their lives, start their families, own a home, contribute to the community and live the American dream. Universal access to higher education should be the legal right of every high school graduate. Dream, educate yourself, live your life, and contribute to your community and our nation should be the vision and gift extended to every high school graduate in the United States.

  • Utah Medicaid Expansion
    It is about equity. I am not personally affected, as I already have good Healthcare coverage. However, I believe that our society should try to assist those who sometimes need help, and Medicaid expansion is one effective way to accomplish this in Utah

  • Repeal Florida's Stand Your Ground Law
    I am not personally affected except as a senior citizen living in another state but deeply disturbed by the unjust impact of the Stand Your Ground Law. I urge and support its repeal in Florida (and in any other states where such law exists) and want to impress upon the legislators at federal and state levels that this law contravenes the spirit and essence of our Constitutional commitment to disburse justice equally.
