The residents of the Richmond South Shore are concerned about preserving the natural resources in our area. We want the proposed development and expansion of the U.C. Berkeley Campus/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to integrate our concerns into their plan for the development of the Richmond Bay Campus (Richmond Field Station).

Tooele County citizens elected officials Tooele County Commissioners are trying to remove. Let Tooele County Citizens vote on if Auditor and Clerk departments should be merged.

Climate change deniers, from Fox News to Donald Trump, are using the polar vortex to say that cold weather disproves global warming. Unfortunately, the same could happen in the opinion pages of The New York Times. In October 2013, The Los Angeles Times announced that it would refuse to publish climate-denying letters, just as it would any other "factual inaccuracies"--but the New York Times hasn't yet followed suit. Our national conversation is polluted by conspiracy theories, slowing progress for much-needed climate action. That's why it's more important than ever that our most respected newspapers--chief among them, The New York Times--set a precedent and refuse to legitimize climate denial in its letters pages.

All Americans who work are taxed heavily on any overtime pay. If we where allowed to keep all of our extra earnings, then we could become more financially sound. All this taxation may fund the government, but it also does not allow us to invest our hard earned money for ourselves and our families.

This petition is to support the candidacy of Tom Houghton for the 16th Congressional District in Pennsylvania. Joe Pitts is out of touch with the voters of the District. The gobbly-goo letter I got from him to explain why he didn't want the government to re-open was the last straw. He could have at least gotten my name right. It's time for the voters of the 16th District to say "No" to Joe Pitts. Tom Houghton has a deserved reputation as a consensus-builder who can help end the stalemate in Washington.

The Obama Administration is currently negotiating, in secret, a massive so called free trade agreement called the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). TPP leaks indicate that this agreement will greatly empower Corporations by virtually eliminating consumer, health, safety, labor, privacy and environmental regulations. In essence this will be a global Corporate coup. In order to get this through congress President Obama will be asking Congress to approve fast track legislation. We urge all our Congressional representatives, Senators and Representatives alike to vote no on fast track legislation.

I see too often men and women escape accountability for their actions. They never suffer, the parent that is doing the right thing does all the suffering, its almost like the drunk driver that crashes into an innocent person. The innocent person ends up dying and the drunk driver gets to go to jail...alive!

to persuade Sen. Addiego to keep to her principles and override Gov. Christie's veto of humane practices for pig gestation crates.

Too many people have worked to hard to make Lansdale a destination. We need to keep that going and Jack Hansen is not the person to do that because he has shown that politics are more important than community! We need to get him out of politics here in Lansdale!

More than 750 small businesses agree, LA's economy needs a boost! We can start in the hospitality industry, where the recession is over and business is booming. But workers like me still need two jobs or welfare just to get by. My coworkers and I want to keep more money here in our city. RAISE LA would give workers in big hotels a $15/hour minimum wage. When we earn more money, we spend it locally -- going out for dinner or buying my daughter a new bike. The local economy wins. And our campaign is gaining ground! We landed front-page coverage in the LA Times and stories in the Huffington Post, The New Republic, and more. Watch our video at: http://bit.ly/RAISE-LA Please add your name to this petition to show the LA City Council Members we want them to take action to build a stronger local economy.

Our congregation will be bankrupted if the Council's insistence on trying to keep the old building is not altered. We will be gone, our various ministries will be gone, our facilities will be gone. There won't simply be no 'old church building', there will be no church at all. 150 years of work and witness will be finished if they do not look forwards. The site will stand derelict for years, and eventually the worst fears of locals will be realised - because eventually the whole site will be given over to housing - not just a part of it. The community will lose out.

New Jersey's own Rep. Chris Smith is at it again. A committee in Congress is going to debate his anti-choice bill that could force sexual-assault survivors who choose abortion to prove to the IRS that the assault occurred. We don’t want New Jersey’s fingerprints on this kind of anti-woman policy! If it passes, women and families across the country will have elected officials from the Garden State to blame. Rep. Smith only represents New Jersey’s 4th congressional district, but Chris Christie, as governor, represents the whole state. That’s why we're calling on Gov. Christie to denounce Rep. Smith’s rape audit bill and say it doesn’t represent the values of New Jersey.
