Rep. Tipton: Stand up for the middle class.Congress has 5 days scheduled before the Sep. 30 budget deadline to avoid a government shutdown. But some Republicans won't even negotiate unless Obamacare is defunded — and they're using the deadline to gain leverage. We need Rep. Mike Coffman to stop playing games and stand with the middle class during the budget debate. Unless we act quickly and hold him accountable, he and other House Republicans will keep proposing more cuts to education, healthcare, and other vital services.521 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Caroline Webster

Immigration officials should not break up Rony's familyRony Ramos-Carrasco, father of two United States citizens and a model community leader with no criminal history, is current sitting in detention at a correctional facility in Louisiana. He desperately needs your help to get back home. One of Rony's young children, five-year-old Amy, has had a complicated medical history and needs her father's presence here in the US to help with her medical expenses. But to make matters worse, Rony's partner Yohana recently had emergency surgery and has been unable to care for their children on her own. Yohana was able to get some help from a relative to complete tasks as simple as carrying her one-year-old son Jake, but her relative could only stay with her for so long. Yohana needs your help bringing Rony back home where he belongs. Please sign this petition to get Rony out of detention -- he is counting on you. According to policies set by President Obama, there are multiple reasons Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) should release Rony from detention – reasons the local ICE office has ignored. Not only is he the father of two United States citizens, but he's also the “primary caretaker of a person with a mental or physical disability.” Five-year-old Amy's medical history has been confirmed in a letter by her pediatrician, and now she's even been diagnosed with depression as a direct result of her father's detention. But ICE has ignored these factors before, having deported Rony twice already. But Rony has been determined to not let his family suffer without him. He returned back to the US because little Amy was undergoing surgery and needed her father's support, both financially and emotionally. And as the sole breadwinner, Rony knows his family's entire wellbeing depends on him being in the US to work. When Congress passes immigration reform, Rony may qualify for immigration status and eventually citizenship. This is all the more reason for ICE to step in now and release Rony until Congress can finish its job.358 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Matt Hildreth

Open the Library!Year in and year out we try to learn as much as possible in the shortest amount of time. This year, we don't have a place to do so. We want to have a space available 24 hours a day so that we can come and be able to ask our peers last minute questions at any time of day and know that there is a place that this can be done in. Help us be the best we can be!308 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Ester Binaminova

While the stop runs East and West. This is less than a block from Spectrum High School which is 6-12 and I want no one from this school to ever have even the slightest possibility to get into an accident like I did.81 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Laine Scheuble

David Cassidy Rock N Roll Hall of FameThis man should be inducted. He was the first Rock N Roll teen idol. The Partridge Family was Music TV. David's outstanding voice and memorable recordings have meant a great deal to many people over four decades. His musical contributions have been, and continue to be, a crucial, special and important part of rock culture. The energy and excitement around his work has allowed him to be at the forefront of the industry for more than 40 years. There is something magical that happens when a star like David emerges, when something or someone captures the imagination of millions of people. It is something that goes beyond a hit record: it touches the world musically and culturally. David was at the epicentre of this, certainly in the 1970s when the whole world went crazy for him and his exceptional singing voice, and he has been an artist not just of the 70s, but the 80s, 90s and the 2000s. No one, least of all David himself, expected that level of success but talent will always shine through. It will always last. In each decade he has been completely in tune with the times and in the 1970s was the most popular and idolised solo performer worldwide in the history of popular music. You can wait around and hope but you will never see the likes of David Cassidy again. Musically, his influence on other artists, the quality of his work, the variety of the David Cassidy Songbook, his constant desire to be creative complemented by the leading writers and musicians he has worked with "many actually asked to work with him“ is testament to how much his peers value his work. Ultimately he has always remained true to himself, and the orchestral hallmarks of his solo arrangements on many David Cassidy album tracks provide further illustration of his genius in the recording studio. David has written many, many songs through which he has expressed some pretty raw emotions allowing his music to tell the story of his life and loves. He paints a wonderful, absorbing picture with his voice, a masterpiece in itself worthy of such an accolade as this. The content of his songwriting has helped him to navigate a path through difficult personal experiences, revealing some exceptional work, and allowing a generation to find themselves. New fans constantly discover him for the first time and that speaks volumes about his music. His work has gone unrecognised for too long. Without the PF, David Cassidy as a singer would not exist. Without him there would have been no PF musical legend which helped launch his outstandingly successful singing career. Thanks to his persistence in allowing him to sing in the series which became a phenomenon in itself, there is no question his unique voice played a pivotal role in its success. In 1970, his first recording, 'I Think I Love You,' was the biggest selling single outselling classic recordings such as 'Let It Be' and 'Bridge Over Troubled Water'. It was voted Single of the Year. Written by some of the world's best songwriters, the PF songs have their own place in pop history thanks to David's delivery of the lyrics and his vocal range. He could work wonders with any song. They remain some of the most under-rated songs in pop history and it cannot be any coincidence that some of the songwriters who contributed to that success are already inducted into the Hall of Fame. When he stepped out of the shadow of such teenage idolatry to prove his worth as a solo performer, musician (piano, guitar and drums) and songwriter, David attracted a great deal of respect setting the standard for many male solo singers to follow. Often imitated, never duplicated. The man knows how to entertain, a born showman. David was profoundly influenced by many of the great singers, groups and songwriters he grew up listening to and like them, his music will continue to mean something many years from now. As a solo artist David has written and performed what have become some of the greatest rock songs and entertained millions across the world with his electric, spellbinding concerts. All his music, be it the voice of the PF or from his solo albums, are constantly played proof they are standing the test of time. David has written, and sung, everything from ballads to rock, jazz to pop and while his musical work on Broadway, London's West End, and Las Vegas along with his composition of TV themes cannot be underestimated showing his incredible versatility, it is his unique contribution to rock and roll, which is what this is all about. His fan base worldwide was bigger at its height in the 1970s than those of Elvis and The Beatles, and there remains a loyal fan base. That says a great deal about his appeal and popularity, of course, but his longevity in the business is unlikely to be matched by many of today's solo artists. It would be just fitting, and so right, for a great American such as David, to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame where his part in rock history can be cemented. Historically, David's contribution to music over the past 40 years, has to be recognized.460 of 500 SignaturesCreated by doriann king

Criminal Hedgefund's illegal shorting and individual investors are getting KilledWhy individual investors lose all the time? - Company news are leaked to Hedge funds and top financial institutions and major holders of the company - This is illegal and criminal. Company Name: Cycacel Pharmaceuticals This is about Cyclacel Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: CYCC) . The company has a outstanding shares of only 17 million and out of which 16 million is the float. Similarly ARNA, DNDN have the same issue. The stock price was at 3.20-3.40 for the last 3 months with an average volume of 350,000 shares. From September 18th to 23 2013, the average trading volume was 3 million and on 20th September, the trading volume was 8 million and more than 5 million was sold short. The price jump in 2 days was from 3.40 to 5.60 and even on the day it reached 5.60 it went down quickly. If this is NOT pump and Dump, then what is PUMP and DUMP? We are filing a case and have copied the US Senators and US house to show that SEC is not taking any action against the Hedge funds and Financial institutions. We believe the following hedge funds are involved in this criminal manipulation supported by the company Board of Directors and Management. Redmile Group, LLC Tang Capital Management, LLC Allianz Asset Management AG Perceptive Advisors LLC Vanguard Group, Inc. (The) Susquehanna International Group, LLP Barclays PLC Invesco Private Capital Inc. Morgan Stanley Geode Capital Management, LLC We also want all major financial institutions who hold brokerage offices to be investigated - including Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley, Charles Schwab and JP Morgan & Goldman Sachs. And a few Mutual funds maybe involved in PUMP and DUMP and Abusive Short selling Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund Spartan Extended Market Index Fund We also filed a case with FINRA and Market Regulators and again no action had been taken so far. We called the company and the company did not reply to our emails and we left a voice to the investor relations and no one had called us back. We, individual investors are constantly creamed by this criminal manipulation and we want a put an end to this robbery. As each and every day passes, the criminal hedge funds are using that opportunity to create huge selling pressure and illegally shorting to keep the value down and force margin calls and profit through illegal shorting. We are planning to submit a high level document with all signatures of shareholders to investigate this manipulation. We DEMAND ALL TRADES ( ALL TRADES) that happened from September 16th to September 24th 2013 to be thoroughly investigated and find out who is behind this criminal shorting/Naked shorting and manipulation. We cannot wait for 2 months or 6 months because in 2 months, the hedge fund companies would have KILLED all individual investors and no one would be left to file a complaint. THIS MUST STOP and WE CANNOT TOLERATE THIS. We urge the SEC chairwoman to take special notice to this complaint or we will have to take this complaint to the higher authorities including the Senate and Congress. We also demand an investigation in to CYCLACEL Board Directors and management and their relations with the hedge funds on this unusual PUMP and DUMP in the last 1 week. We called Cyclacel Pharmaceuticals & sent emails - NO response from them. We believe Cyclacel Pharmaceuticals may be involved in leaking the news to major holders of the company shares and hedge funds. Prior to the press release on Thursday evening, the number of shares traded were very high and the hedge funds involved in shorting knew very well that the company will not release additional news and started DUMPing and shorting shares at 5.60. This is criminal. Why Cyclacel has not released any updates on the RMDS or any other trials? The company is criminally shorted again and we strongly believe the company is working with the major holders in this criminal manipulation. Again the criminal manipulation started from October 2nd 2013. Why is the SEC not investigating all the trades from September 21st 2013? Criminal manipulators are using the govt shutdown to "Naked Short" and illegally short more shares. This NONSENSE MUST STOP SEC TCR1380041819453 ( several complains filed) FINRA: Filing ID: 2238825 (Several complaints to Pat.Clem, FINRA) SEC and FINRA had not taken any action. SHUT DOWN SEC AND FINRA - NO USE INDIVIDUAL INVESTORS ARE TIRED OF LOSING - Mr.President- we don't need words. We need action. The SEC chair person is completely useless. We want the Market regulations- FINRA to be dissolved because Patricia A.Clem has not taken any action and SEC Chairwoman has not taken any action. We are planning to hold demonstrations & give this petition directly to the White house and explain the manipulation.77 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Melanie

FL Lee County Public Schools to Approve ABA-Applied Behavior Analysis***Early intervention is key to success for our children, ABA provides infinite hope when done in early ages*** When my daughter was diagnosed with Autism, at age 2.5, no one said that ABA was the ONLY effective method to treat my daughter's severed language/speech delay, and other symptoms of autism such social delay and stereotyped behaviors. We were pushed to sent her to a public school (ESE class) starting her 3rd birthday. She was there for 2 years, made no progress but regression into severe autism and challenging behaviors. After that I found that ABA was the only hope, and she recovered her language in about 6 mounts from intensive ABA therapy. Later I learned that most states provide free appropriate public education using ABA to help children, like my child, to make progress to have a functional live later on. This aims to inclusion, which will help the school system to save so much money down the road. We are petitioning our legislators and governors to help us to have ALL of our children receive the fair free public education including ABA teaching for ESE students, not to be an option, but to be mandate for all schools in Lee County, FL, so all children could benefit of what is science based most effective technique for developmental delays. Autism Spectrum Disorders is rapidly becoming the most often diagnosed childhood disorder. Applied Behavior Analysis, a branch of psychology rooted in the application of science to the study of human behavior, is a special therapy that has been shown to be quite effective in reducing the impact of autism spectrum disorders.55 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marcela
