I am starting this petition out of a sense of duty to help shape the strategy of this nation's LGBT movement, focusing it on the issues and actions that are legally and morally justifiable rather than those that verge on propaganda or bullying against those of another viewpoint--actions that make this movement just as bad as those militant opponents. Yes, in-your-face political movements are necessary for times when human rights are at stake, but what makes America great is that our major shifts in cultural awareness have come not from "counter-bigotry" and other excessive actions but from reasonable people making reasonable demands and thereby helping other Americans see the logic of their positions.

It's about time we move on to term limits because they really don't care any more what the people who have voted for them want. We don't want shutdowns--we want progress, not fighting. There are too many politicians who have been in too long. They get great benefits--better then the general public--and with their actions we get nothing but trouble.

It is unfair for our players to play their hearts out for Matt Schaub to continually throw it away with interceptions and all around poor plays. We can no longer stand by and witness these atrocities. If Schaub can not be fired because of contractual reasons, then by all means BENCH him.

The Spinning Monkey Bars on Fox Meadow's playground is dangerous for our children as more than one child has been injured badly on this equipment. Children falling from several feet in the air with centrifugal force and speed have no ability to control their fall when they lose grip and can and have been seriously injured. The child of a close friend was severely injured by a fall from this equipment. The safety and security of the lives of our children while at school on school property is the number one concern of parents when they send children to school. This piece of equipment severely compromises the safety of our children who are enticed to ride it by its "fun" appearance. Even when used properly, children's legs dangle at an angle such that a child who loses grip while moving with centrifugal force and speed cannot land straight on his or her feet and might instead land on one leg, an arm or even a shoulder or neck while moving in a circle which could result in a severely broken bone (which we have already seen twice) or a spinal cord injury or paralysis

Congress takes no responsibility for their actions. If their pay was tied to their irresponsibility, they might reconsider.

Since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Defense of Marriage Act, Any Same-sex couple can now file joint tax returns, have the same names on their passports and Social Security cards..... The couple also wants their driver’s licenses to reflect their new last name and complete the same equal level of happiness in making a public statement about who they choose to spend the rest of their lives with. Please support me in letting our officials in charge know that this must change and we as equals support this, no I mean insist this CHANGE sooner than later.

SR 146 and Fox Run Rd is a dangerous intersection!

If 80% of Americans are pro-ACA, then who do these politicians represent? As Robert Reich so aptly put it: "What is the proper term for those who are determined to get their way by threatening to otherwise close our government or default on our nation's debts? They are not legislators because they eschew the normal processes of legislation. They are not statesmen because they are willing to sacrifice the governing institutions of our nation. They are not leaders because they cower to a fanatical minority. They have chosen instead to get their way through extortion -- holding the United States hostage to their weapons of mass economic destruction. What, then, are they? Would it be unfair to consider them traitors?--Robert Reich, September 28, 2013.

I know many people that can not afford health care and either just stay sick or go to the emergency room because they can't afford to go to the Doctor. It is unacceptable that we are one country that cares nothing for its citizens and thinks that people are expendable.

The supporters of Boyd Hill Nature Preserve and residents of Saint Petersburg have suffered a public loss due to a hunter coming in and illegally harvesting our biggest alligator in a park adjacent to the nature preserve. Naturalists, students, children, tourists and others will no longer be able to come to Boyd Hill Nature Preserve and enjoy looking at the largest alligator many would have ever seen. We believe it is unacceptable for this animal to only be remembered in record books when he could have been admired in person for years to come. In the case in question, the hunter's permit did not include his hunting in Saint Petersburg, therefore, he must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Beyond this, we ask that new legislation be drafted to protect our city and state from a tragedy like this ever happening again. The hunting of an otherwise protected animal, whose well-being is cultivated throughout his life, is secondary only to allowing hunting within a zoo, and represents outright theft from a community.

Inappropriate actions and behavior towards members of the Association have made it clear that Mr. Goldberg does not represent the ideals of the community. The BOD passed a motion, 6-0-1, calling on Mr. Goldberg to resign in the best interests of the community. There has been no response to that motion, hence this petition to move the process forward. ONLY ONE SIGNATURE PER HOUSEHOLD

The VA continues to deny veterans health and compensation benefits that were exposed to Agent Orange outside of Vietnam. Many of these veterans can no longer work due to their diseases or the secondary effects of their diseases.
