Give Students the Copyright they DeserveUtah Valley University, and likely others, are claiming that they own 100% copyright to students work regardless if the student used any of the Universities resources or assets. If you submit it for a grade, you are surrendering your copyright. This is wrong, students work hard on their projects and it should be up to them to commercialize it (so long as they don't use University resources). They shouldn't have to go through the University to license their own product and be forced to give 10% (or more) just because they are a student there.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Austin Clift

Governor Perry - Stand Up for Texas ConsumersWe’re sending around a petition calling for Governor Perry to ask the Chairman of the Texas Finance Commission to step down. Here’s why. The Texas Finance Commission is charged with ensuring that Texas financial institutions, banks, creditors and payday lenders act responsibly and “enhance the financial well-being of the citizens of Texas.” But just recently, William White, Chairman of the Finance Commission, told the El Paso Times that payday loan customers are at fault for falling victim to predatory lending practices -- not the lenders themselves. Payday lending is a real issue for Texans, and we need real solutions to this problem. But Mr. White also happens to be the vice president of Cash America, a large payday lender that has a history of preying on Texas consumers. Can we really rely on him to watch out for our financial well-being at the same time? We can’t stand by as this clear conflict of interest continues. We can end it, but we need your help. Tell Governor Perry to ask William White to resign his Chairmanship of the Texas Finance Commission. Just last month, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau sanctioned Cash America -- the same business where Mr. White is vice president -- for providing predatory loans to hundreds of U.S. soldiers and their families. The CFPB ordered Cash America to refund $14 million to their customers, and another $5 million for violating federal regulations. If Mr. White’s company cannot follow laws designed to protect our servicemen and women, how can we trust him to protect Texas consumers? Sign this petition calling for Governor Perry to stand up for consumers. Thanks, Sara E. Smith TexPIRG Advocate153 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Sara Smith

Stop overcrowding our elementary schoolsIf sixth grade is added to the elementary schools, the schools would be right back into the same situation we just corrected -- Ocean Bay Middle overcrowding issues would be solved, but it would be at the expense of three elementary schools which will be over capacity again. We need a better solution. Please sign, COMMENT and share if you agree.171 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Andrea

Governor Christie: It's time to resignMembers of Gov. Christie's inner circle deliberately caused a four-day traffic snarl in Fort Lee, New Jersey, in an act of vengeance against the town’s mayor who refused to endorse the Governor’s re-election bid. And now, a Friday afternoon bombshell: the Port Authority Official who closed two lanes on the George Washington Bridge now says that Chris Christie knew about the closures. Nearly every day has brought new revelations, and the picture they paint is ugly. The Christie Administration has turned disaster relief money and public roads into weapons of political retaliation, and Chris Christie is nothing if not a micromanager of his Administration. The traffic jam that the Christie administration caused meant upwards of five hour delays for commuters and residents. Even worse, it delayed ambulances responding to medical emergencies. Using the powers of office to punish your political enemies is disgusting. Using your powers of office to punish the people they represent is unforgivable. Chris Christie is unfit for the office he serves, much less the presidency he seeks.13,837 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Analilia Mejia, Executive Director, New Jersey Working Families Alliance

Put Citizens United in the Dumpster of Bad IdeasBecause I think the Citizens United decision was the wrong decision. Our democracy is based on one citizen one vote. Saying money is speech and opening the door to unlimited, secret, campaign contributions by Corporations goes against this very sacred ideal.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Faith Sadley

Elections shouldn't be for saleMy friends and family no longer believe that their voices and their votes count in this country's elections. The presence of big money in our electorate process is eroding our confidence that WE THE PEOPLE matter. Overturning the Citizens United decision is a big step in the right direction toward restoring the voice of the people in elections.244 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Dennyce Korb
