My cross-country road trip to visit the Badlands, Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone, and Glacier National Parks has been completely ruined because of the shutdown of the national parks. I am a good citizen and a tax payer who is being unfairly punished. Please help us stand up for what is right and sign this petition to reopen Yellowstone National Park.

This shutdown affects all of us, either directly or indirectly. Having 800,000 people without a paycheck will have adverse effects on the economy, both individually and collectively. Federal employees have had their pay frozen for the past three years. This is the second furlough that they have been forced to endure due to the inability of Congress to get their job done. This is not only a financial issue, but a moral issue as well. It's a matter of loss of pride in our leadership, and a greater loss of trust as well.

My petition is about the restricting piece of legislation known commonly as the "Six Drop Rule", where college students can only withdraw from six college courses throughout their entire college career. I have been personally affected by this piece of legislation, and have been severely stressed out due to this legislation. It is very limiting, and debilitating to our (College students) GPAs. I would like to replace the "Six Drop Rule" with a less stressful law. The replacement law is still in development; however, some of the items in the law are listed in the following sentence. In the replacing law, I would like to enact certain limitations, such as: students are allowed unlimited number of drops, however students are allowed only one drop a semester (depending on the number of credit hours), allowed only one drop the entire summer, and no matter what date you drop; You WILL NOT receive your money back.

John Boehner was sent to Washington to represent Ohio Yet,,he has led the most ineffective House in history. Now he is leading a political maneuver to by-pass the law of the land, he promised to uphold.. Ohio does not want our government shut down. RECALL JOHN BOEHNER

Congress has lost its way. They are ruining our country. How can they justify getting paid themselves but take away food and formula from children? Shame on them. They should all resign.

I am sick of fat rich politicians wreaking havoc on common people struggling to survive. They vote to pay themselves for not doing anything! We put them there, we pay them for being there, it's their choice to walk out -- why should we pay them?

This is not a fight over money or politics, this is a moral issue.The Maritime Museum tells the story of over 6000 mariners who lost their lives at sea during WWII.It also tells the story of the Local Maritime history in the Port of Los Angeles.

I'm just a swim mom, frustrated with the lack of importance being placed on the quality of our pools. The Parks, Recreation and Trails Advisory Board is making a crucial decision this month regarding their recommendations to the Borough Assembly. Please share this with everyone you know who can help us be heard. These pools are utilized by lap swimmers, swim lessons, water safety classes, highschool swimmers, and competative swimmers. If we don't speak up, the resolution could be killed and nothing solved!!!!

While some colleges have been in the news lately for cutting funding for financial aid programs or being in cahoots with banks and profiting off of students, these five colleges have raised their hands in support of students and making college affordable: Union College, Roger Williams University, Portland State University, Washington State University, and Ohio State University. By supporting efforts to make college more affordable for students, these colleges and universities acknowledge that costs have grown unsustainably. No two institutions are identical, and not every solution will look the same. But every institution of higher education needs to do something to ease the burden of student debt — and these institutions are committed to doing just that.

Chicago is a city that is turning more violent by the day. Adults need to use common sense so as not to needlessly endanger children. Having two different high schools so close together will cause a friction that does not need to be there. This whole situation could be defused by moving the site of the charter school by a few city blocks.
