Lynn Robinson: Fix it - don't move it - Mercury Toxic AlertFor decades the crematorium at the Santa Cruz Memorial Park on Ocean St. Extension has been emitting toxic waste into the air, including high levels of mercury. We believe that the city of Santa Cruz is trying to rush a decision to relocate the crematorium at the Santa Cruz Memorial Park on Ocean St. Extension. We believe that the city is trying to avoid the necessary environmental review before anyone notices. Please let them know that you support a full environmental review of the health risks to the citizens of Santa Cruz and our environment before any crematory relocation is allowed.214 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Yosi Almog

LF Addington Middle School, Wise VA: Don't Foster HomophobiaAs a Wise County resident, I was extremely upset that there is a petition to have this book removed from the school's library. This type of suppression of anything having to do with homosexuality does nothing but foster homophobia and bullying against LGBT students in our local schools. A parent or even group of parents should not be able to dictate what everyone's child has the opportunity to read now and in the future. They certainly don't get to decide what's "immoral". Please protect all of our students from this type of suppression because of the inability of some parents to maturely handle such matters.375 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Matt Skeens

Illinois Address Confidentiality ProgramI am a victim of Stalking. The man who is stalking me knew where I lived, when I moved, and knows where I currently live. I don't feel safe in my own home. Without an Address Confidentiality Program, like 31 other states have, this man stalking me will easily be able to find me if I move again.102 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Amy

Salamanca Electric BillI'm just just like the next person affected by this bill. I've always had a manageable bill until I opened my last bill which was more than triple than the norm. The excuse given by Salamanca Board of Public Utilities was suspicious and we as residence need to band together to fight this.474 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Samantha

Propane contractsElderly in our state were under contract with UPG to receive propane at 1.69 a gallon. When they need a fill-up during the recent extremely cold weather, they called Quality Propane, or any of the other UPG suppliers in the area, their calls went unanswered. One 89 year old woman went to the suppliers office to order gas since the propane tank was down to 20 percent. The truck driver delivered only 5 percent more. The elderly lady now fears she'll have to stay with relatives since more sub-freezing temperatures are expected. This scenario is being repeated all over our state this winter. I tried over four days to reach the company I was under contract with. They refused to answer my calls and had turned off the answering machine.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Teresa Merryman

UMKC let Disabled Students form a Student CouncilDisabled Students have no voice on SGA. We have no representation on SGA. We have been segregated from other students. Disabled Students do not recieve Scholarships and CFellowships at UMKC. We are not admitted Professional Student programs. At UMKC we are even told that we cannot get certified to teach disabled children because we are disabled. Disability is not the end of the world but at UMKC disabled students cannot get an stipend for student employment like the other demographics. We need your help. Please sign this petition so that UMKC lets Disabled Students be a part of student government. Thank You in Advance19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Vincent Cannady

"Massachusetts: Label GMOs."The Food and Drug Administration does not require safety testing of new genetically modified foods (“GMOs”), instead relying on corporations' profits from the sale of such foods to ensure their safety for us. Contrary to industry claims, GMO foods have not been proven safe, and a growing body of independent, peer-reviewed studies have linked the consumption of GMO foods to allergies, infertility, immune problems, gastrointestinal disruption, cancer, and a host of other diseases. GMO crops can easily contaminate non-GMO crops, threatening organic agriculture, and their use is linked to increases in toxic pesticide use and the emergence of “superweeds.” Further, the absence of labeling of GMO foods and seeds prohibits those with specific ethical or religious practices from making informed food choices. More than 60 other countries around the world inform their citizens if their food is genetically engineered, and national polls consistently show that more than 90% of Americans want to share this same basic human right. GMO labeling legislation has been introduced in over 25 states, and on June 3, 2013, Connecticut passed a GMO labeling law - the first in the nation. But, it requires at least four other states to adopt similar legislation before it goes into effect. One state must border Connecticut. Massachusetts now has the opportunity to help protect the transparency, integrity, and democracy of our food supply for all Americans.266 of 300 SignaturesCreated by James Roller

Save Special Needs Production WorkshopsOur daughter is special needs and has been unsuccessful working in community based settings as have many of her friends. Funding is being taken away from MA special needs production workshops which will harm many of these citizens who have no control over their future and depend on our elected legislatures to protect them. It would be unthinkable to take away their paycheck, no matter the amount, and their contribution to society which they are proud of. Our understanding is that the production floors are to close by 2015.581 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Janet Ryan
