No more Once Upon a HookFor me, I've noticed, since about season two when Hook came on as a character, they've been promoting Hook this Hook that and slowly forgetting about everyone else. They were never ones to promote for my personal favorite character Neal, and I felt like less of a fan and person because they paid so much attention to Hook instead. This should never happen to anyone else.62 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Laurie

John Boehner : Removal from officeHouse Speaker John Boehner should be removed from office because did not attempt in good faith to resolve the issue of extending the Unemployment Benefits prior to the recess of 1/18/2014, leaving millions of American's in limbo on basic living. Boehner 'stretched' this issue out after he was asked to resolve the issue prior to the recess. This meant more people went without any income based on Mr. Boehner's priorities (pleasure before work).82 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Doug Walshe

Turn Cabrini HS into a public pre-K and KWashington Heights is full of young kids. Parents in District 6 (the most crowded district in New York City) compete for a handful of available spots in local public pre-Ks. Mother Cabrini High School is closing at the end of this school year. We urge the City to acquire this soon-to-be empty school building and convert it into pre-K and kindergarten to serve our under-served neighborhood.110 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Marc Edelman

Adopt SFMTA Shuttle Bus Pilot ProgramThe San Francisco Bay Area's public transportation network cannot adequately serve the region's transportation needs. In response, employers and institutions around the Bay Area have begun providing bus services to their workers and students. These buses have been shown to reduce car ownership, eliminating 45 million vehicle miles travelled from Bay Area roadways each year, and reducing carbon emissions by 11,000 metric tons. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) has developed a pilot program that would allow such buses to pay to use SFMTA bus stops to load and unload their students and workers. The program would allow San Francisco residents to continue to use shuttles to commute, while reducing negative impacts on Muni services.306 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Adrian Covert

Help seasonal workers in PennsylvaniaMany seasonal workers across the state of Pennsylvania are ineligible to receive unemployment because of the Act 60 law that went into effect on Jan. 6, 2013. There is no work available due to winter weather conditions in careers such as highway construction, bridge work,landscaping, roofing to name a few. These people have full time jobs and a definite return to work date. They work 60 to 80 hours a week in the summer months and contribute to the unemployment fund. These seasonal workers are not abusing the system, but are unable to get help in the winter months. Please sign and let our government know that these skilled workers will leave these professions if they cannot get help when there is no work available. Should a person take another job for a few months then quit when they are called back to their full-time job? That job should go to someone who needs full-time employment.560 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Mark J. Morris

Investigate Philadelphia's brutal stop-and-frisk practicesImagine getting stopped by the police because your face was covered with a scarf in freezing weather, being sexually assaulted by a police officer while you were handcuffed, and then getting charged with assault and resisting arrest as you were on your way to get emergency surgery for injuries inflicted on you by police during the attack. [1] It seems unbelievable, but all that just happened to 16-year-old Darrin Manning on January 7th, right here in Philadelphia, under the regressive, racist stop-and-frisk policies that have clearly continued in spite of promises to reform policing guidelines. It all started when a young African American man and his teammates, all in uniform on their way to play a school basketball game, were stopped and harrassed by a group of white officers for no obvious reason besides the color of their skin. [2] Darrin Manning was so badly injured in this attack by an officer yanking and squeezing his groin that he may never be able to father children of his own. This should never have happened, and it wouldn't have happened if not for the police department's stop-and-frisk practices. Police actions should not make our city more dangerous for any of our residents, especially our young people. It's must not be acceptable for any police department to treat children of color like they're guilty until proven innocent, or as if they're foreign invaders who don't have the same right to be unmolested in public spaces as white children. If Philadelphia's top-ranking elected officials are concerned about whether or not children in our city have good role models in their lives, I would ask that they start by looking at the behavior of our own police officers when they engage in this kind of routine street harassment and assault. Join me to ask Mayor Michael Nutter and District Attorney Seth Williams to investigate police actions in Philadelphia's 22nd District and insist that Philadelphia police conduct themselves in an orderly, law-abiding fashion, and be respectful of all our citizens.

NY Gov. Cuomo: Don’t steal the Chase settlement money from struggling New York families and give ...The Home Defenders League, a Campaign for a Fair Settlement/Action for the Common Good partner, alerted us to an outrageous provision in New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's proposed budget. Here's the background. Last year JPMorgan Chase agreed to a $13 billion settlement (the largest ever between a corporation and a government) for helping to create the Great Recession and then stealing thousands of homes from struggling homeowners. $600 million of that goes to New York State and it’s supposed to be used for direct relief for homeowners. But not if Gov. Cuomo has his way. Instead of helping homeowners, the Governor wants to use that money to pay for a major cut to corporate taxes, including one called... the Bank Tax. That’s right. Gov. Cuomo wants to steal the settlement money from struggling homeowners and give it back to Wall Street criminals. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman was able to use $136 million from a previous settlement to help thousands of families stave off foreclosure. We need the $600 million to alleviate the continuing pain from foreclosures and underwater mortgages. Adding to the outrage is the fact that Gov. Cuomo is stealing this money from New York's most vulnerable communities. Communities of color lost the most when Chase and other Wall Street bankers pushed us into the Great Recession – the median black household lost almost 84% of its household wealth in the recession. Latinos lost 66%, while white households lost some 34%. Now Gov. Cuomo wants to make sure the biggest losers stay the biggest losers. Because New York is one of the most populous states, if we let Gov. Cuomo get away with this, then Governors across the United States will think they can use this money for whatever they want, including paying off Wall Street criminals. We must stop this. Tell Gov. Cuomo: Don’t steal the Chase settlement money from struggling New York families and give it back to Wall Street criminals.13,451 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Brian Kettenring

Jermaine Pearson DNA EXONEREE CASE PROFILEMy son is incarcerated due to lack of evidence in this case. The Supreme Court has asked the judge on Jermaine's case to remand the case. the United States Supreme Court grants certiorari and reverses a decision of a state supreme court or a Federal appeals court, it may remand the case. Likewise, an appeals court may remand a case to a trial court. A remand may be a full remand, essentially ordering an entirely new trial; when an appellate court grants a full remand, the lower court's decision is "reversed and remanded." Judge Lieber has failed to abide by The Supreme Courts guidelines.122 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Karen Pearson

Save the babiesAlot of women including myself have suffered loss of infants due to hospitals not giving them oxygen and treatments to help them live longer. Hospitals let these poor innocent babies die even if they have a slight chance at living. My son was born breathing and moving and was left to die because the hospital had the option to not help him breathe even when i begged them too.34 of 100 SignaturesCreated by clarissa loston
