Parents who want to OPT OUT of BREAKFAST IN THE CLASSROOMWe do not believe that any child should go hungry. We do believe there is a better way to offer breakfast to those children who need it. We also believe in the rights of parents to be able to choose what their children are eating, when they are eating it, and to provide a clean and healthy place to learn. We also believe that taking instructional time OUT of the classroom to run a program that could be run before school in a proper eating environment is NOT an option. Please sign this petition to let the LAUSD know that we need to fix the major flaws of the Breakfast in the Classroom program and put the focus in the classroom back on education.1,371 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Linda Ethridge

Middle Class Mortgage Assistance FairnessI am one of the people that have been harmed by this unfair practice. I have applied for modifications and have not had any positive results. I have seen people with no jobs receive help, banks received help, people in all financial situations got help which is great, but the middle class is getting left out. Home values in certain areas are almost back to their pre crisis prices, but home values in other areas are not going up. Principal reductions would level the playing field and keep people from walking away from mortgages as well as strengthen areas often left out behind.60 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Sands

USA Cycling: Move Cyclocross National Championships Back to DecemberThe move of the USA Cycling cyclocross National Championships from December into January has made it difficult for many competitors to attend. By being held in the winter in the US, the options for a suitable host location are also limited. Travel during the winter months is also made more difficult by the potential adverse weather conditions. All of these factors combined with the date being right after the holidays makes the move of the race from December to January, counterproductive.265 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Mike Rowell

Tell Kansas lawmakers, "Vote NO" on Fast Track for ObamaWhen global corporations get everything they want, the rest of us lose. That's the rest of the globe, not just the 99% in America. 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 speed approval through congress, President Obama will be asking Congress to approve "Fast Track" legislation, giving him ability to sign before Congress sees the agreement. Tell your Kansas Congressional lawmakers, Senators and Representatives alike, to vote "NO" on "Fast Track" legislation.705 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Jan Swartzendruber

Rescind all Obamacare laws immediatelyWe have seen nothing but absolute failures in this law. It makes no sense, costs too much money and does not solve any problems! Why was it ever even passed? Let's just realize it is a total failure and get rid of it immediately. We can revisit healthcare reform once Obamacare is gone!25 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rob

Ban The Newly Released Video Game"The Slaying of Sandy Hook Elementary"Ryan Jake Lambourn, a video game developer of Sydney Austraila has created an allegedly "pro gun control" video game that simulates the tragic and devastating events of the Sandy Hook Elementary shootings. Lambourn callously released the video game on the first anniversary of the tragedy. The game opens with the user obtaining a glock handgun and shooting their mother just as Adam Lanza did and proceeds to direct the user (virtual shooter) to storm from classroom to classroom with an AR-15 rifle shooting victims. The game displays a "Kill Ratio" along the way and climaxes with the user turning the gun on himself when the police arrive. There are no words for the existence of this repugnant video game or for the sheer irresponsibility and insensitivity of Ryan Lambourn for creating it. Lambourn claims that the video game is advocating for gun control but somehow the irony of that statement escapes him. This video game glorifies the killer of Sandy Hook a murderous person with an obsession with "first person shooter" video games such as the one that Lambourn has created in the name of Sandy Hook. Further,it makes light of a National Tragedy, blatantly minimizes the pain and suffering of the Sandy Hook families, and disrespects the memory of their slaughtered children and teachers. Ask Ryan Jake Lambourn of Googumproduce to self regulate and remove this wildly misguided and offensive video game from existence and publicly apologize to the families and victims of Sandy Hook Elementary. Ryan Lambourn may be contacted directly through his twitter account @googumproduce. His company website is googumproduce.com. Please be sure that he hears our collective voice.400 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Shannon Barrows

Tell President Obama: Expose and stop insurance company sabotageIt’s time to expose and stop insurance companies that are sabotaging the Affordable Care Act. Some people have lost their substandard health insurance plans, because they are not in compliance with the new law. But some insurance companies are using the confusion about Obamacare to trick people into buying new (more expensive) policies without telling customers about alternative plans and subsidies available on the new exchanges. And some are out and out lying about the law, selling new junk policies without explaining that people buying them will also have to buy real policies. Rather than discrediting Obamacare, the actions of these companies prove why we needed health care reform in the first place. Insurance companies put profit over patients, and cannot be trusted to do the right thing for their customers. It's time to put a stop to this. Tell President Obama: Expose and stop insurance company sabotage.218 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Paul Hogarth
