I've been hitchhiking the U.S.A. over 11 years to use less gas & spread conservation efforts & trust. I believe it is better for people to have the choice to work together & to conserve. I am tired of being told "If I see you out here on the side of the road again you're going to jail." Righteousness MUST prevail!

The reason I'm starting this Petition is to have my name cleared from a case file on me through DCYF agency. In Rhode Island That existed 19 years ago. I was never charged with any crime on this matter. This file is preventing me from having my grand daughter in my custody.

The disfunction in Congress is no longer tolerable!!!! It's time to make a serious change in the status quo!!!!! Let's show our employees in Congress that we are their boss by saying in one loud and clear voice, "You're Fired with Cause!!"

To save the United States.

Social Security has been the single-greatest anti-poverty program in our nation's history. However, the program is in danger of disappearing due to insolvency. So many of our seniors are struggling just to survive. After decades of hard work, they live on budgets that should make us, a country with so much, ashamed. Eliminating the cap on Social Security tax is a common-sense and relatively painless way to benefit us all. -- www.facebook.com/kickingassforthemiddleclass

We are starting an anti-texting and driving campaign at our school.

The purpose of this petition is to communicate to the United States House of Representatives that we, the undersigned, are American citizens who want to impeach and remove from office Representives John Boehner, Eric Cantor and other Tea Party Republicans, and Senator Ted Cruz, for abuse of power. Abuse of power is cited in the U.S. Constitution as an impeachable offense. These individuals forced the shutdown of the Federal Government contrary to the will of the majority of the members of the House, the U.S. Senate, and the American people. This shutdown is harming the American people. Background: In order to block the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, a law which was passed in 2010 and subsequently upheld by the United States Supreme Court, the above-named individuals recklessly conspired to force the shutdown of the Federal Government. This shutdown is causing financial, physical and emotional distress and ruin to many thousands of American citizens, including but not limited to: military veterans, hundreds of thousands of Federal employees and contractors who have been furloughed and/or are working without pay, providers of essential services, families and children, the elderly, and countless others. The government shutdown has brought uncertainty to the nation's and the world's financial markets, and may result in creating another recession in the United States of America and the entire world. Additionally, Representatives Boehner, Cantor, and some others in the United States House of Representatives rigged the rules so that only they or their designees can bring the government shutdown matter to a vote in the House of Representatives. These individuals have refused to bring the matter to a vote. Their abuse of power, their reckless and irresponsible actions are causing great harm to the American people and the world; therefore, we petition that Boehner, Cantor, Cruz and others be impeached and removed from office.

I can't remember the last time I went to or enjoyed the movie theatre in Madison. The theatre is mostly flawed in appearence; sticky floors, ripped screens, no doors on the bathrooms, filthy seats ect. There are other ways that the theatre is flawed such as the fact that the heater is too loud and you can't always enjoy the movie. Not only do I believe that the update would create a cleaner, more family friendly theatre. I feel as if it would also bring in more business and profit.

In response to petition circulating to grant clemency to a convicted murderer. Someone who does not deserve the freedom she so easily took from Steven.

I miss my parents & can't visit my homestate of Iowa because I chose years ago to become the change I wished to see int he world & SPEAK UP FOR ANIMAL FREEDOM & I don't want to come to Iowa & have be in fear of being called a “terrorist” by some bullies who put a toxic law into place that victimizes whistleblowers & treats American citizens like they treat animals.

I suffer from lupus and I know many others who have lupus as well. Lupus is very difficult to manage due to it's unpredictable nature and it can progress rather quickly. Lupus is incurable and it can result in multiple organ failure. It is often accompanied by other diseases and it is all too often fatal. Lupus kills. Lupus cripples. Lupus robs those who have it of a "normal life". Lupus doesn't just affect those who have it. It hurts our families, too. Lupus is a devastating disease. Progress in treating lupus has been a slow process and there is still much to learn about the disease. Judge Judy's dismissive and flippant remarks were not only insensitive and ill-informed but also very unproductive and discriminatory. She made comments that compared lupus to other unrelated illnesses and she made comments about her daughter in law being able to work even though she has lupus. Her comments do not reflect the reality that so many people with lupus experience and reflects her lack of knowledge about the disease. It's for those reasons that I believe that she should publicly apologize for her remarks with regard to lupus.

A report came out October 15 showing that 52% of fast food employees’ families are forced to rely on social safety net programs, like Food Stamps or Medicaid, because we’re paid so little. And it costs taxpayers an unthinkable $7 BILLION each year. That means your household forks over about $61 a year so that McDonald’s can rake in $5.5 billion and pay their CEO millions. We don’t want to rely on public assistance -- we would much rather receive an honest day’s pay for an honest day’s (hard!) work. But we have kids to feed, families to support and have no other choice. It’s not okay. And I hope you’ll help us change it today. Tell the top eight fast food chains to pay us $15 an hour so we don’t have to rely on social safety net programs
