• Crestline's dresscode should be revoked
    Recently, Crestline Public Schools have enforced a new dress code that involves a full uniform. I believe that this dress code is a violation of rights. My friends are no longer allowed to exercise self-expression freely and I believe that they should. It is also making them not want to go to school. I think that everyone should be comfortable when in a learning environment. The parents of my friends are upset as well, because they have to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe. To me, school should not cost large amounts of money. I would like to get this new dress code repealed. If not repealed, at least loosened up.

  • University Preparatory Academy Powerschool
    This petition aims to make SchoolLoop available to students at University Preparatory Academy once again. SchoolLoop, to the ultimate disappointment of the student community, has been replaced by Powerschool. In contrast to SchoolLoop, Powerschool poorly communicates assignments, grades, and special events to students. Students without an Apple computer or handheld device experience trouble viewing their 'assignment calendars', which are packaged in the .ics file format. These files may be opened by Google Calendars, however the title of the assignment is often cut short, and no description of the assignment is included. The class that the assignment belongs to is not displayed either. Together, these factors make using Powerschool a very confusing and frustrating process.

  • Get the Senate to vote on jobs bills!
    Our economy continues to suffer due, in part, because the US Senate refuses to vote on bi-partisan jobs bills that have been passed by the US House. It's time for the Senate Majority leader to allow those jobs bills to come to the Senate floor for a vote.

  • Support a Pathway to Citizenship
    I would like for my representative to Congress, Howard Coble, to support bringing comprehensive immigration reform to a vote. I believe all human beings should be treated in a decent manner and should not be exploited. The current situation is indecent and leaves immigrants vulnerable to exploitation.

  • Save daylight every day of the year by stopping the ridiculous 'fall-back' and 'spring-forward' c...
    Every year my own biorhythms get fouled-up by the twice a year changes to and from daylight to standard time. And in winter, when there's so little light compared to summer, why not save what little there is?! Let's eliminate standard time and save daylight all year long! The only argument I've ever heard for switching from daylight to standard is that schoolchildren need the extra daylight on winter mornings to be safe walking to school... Well, maybe it's time to start school an hour later and end an hour later instead. Schoolkids have biorhythms too; so, let's be kind to theirs as well to grownups and let them sleep an hour later.

  • Tell Chipotle To REFUSE Meat Treated with Antibiotics!
    As a long-time and regular customer of Chipotle, I have always appreciated the fact that they strive to provide customers with delicious food that is of high quality. One example of this is the fact that all of their meat is raised "without the use of antibiotics or growth hormones". This is what truly sets Chipotle apart from its other fast food counterparts. However, when I learned of the news that Chipotle is now considering changing their policy on selling only antibiotic-free meat, I grew very deeply concerned. I understand that beef prices have increased due to the shortage. However, I urge Chipotle to find alternative suppliers and continue to strive for a higher quality of meat...not supplying us with animals who are so sick that they require antibiotics!

  • Fresh Food and School Gardens in Blaine County Schools
    In many ways, Wood River Valley Residents are more food conscious than the average U.S. population, and more affluent, and yet our school district is lagging behind in implementing nutrition education, school garden programs, comprehensive Farm to School programs, and preparing fresh meals from scratch on premises.

  • West Virginia: Decriminalize Marijuana
    Marijuana is not a dangerous substance. It could actually be very beneficial for our economy now that there is NO MORE COAL MINING. Lets legalize or at least decriminalize. A lot of good people smoke it. Everything about it reminds me of the alcohol prohibition days.

  • Librarians Belong In NYC Schools
    New York City Schools are seeking a waiver on state law which requires them to have school librarians in middle schools and high schools. Less than half of NYC schools have a librarian. This is an important resource for our kids and NYC DOE cannot give up on addressing this problem.

  • Apply Leahy Law to Egypt: no U.S. aid to protester-killing police & military
    By law, U.S. military aid to Egypt should have been cut off when the democratically elected President was overthrown by a military coup. But a minimal demand is that U.S. military and police aid must be cut off to military and police units that are credibly accused of gross abuses of human rights - like shooting unarmed protesters in the head, neck, and chest - that is - shooting to kill. This cut-off is required by U.S. law. Urge Congress and the President to comply with and enforce the law.
