Unnatural Hair Colors in High SchoolStudents are being kicked out of class over hair colors that aren't "natural." Parents are being forced to pay to have their childrens' hair redyed because the schools will not let them back into class. Students look for anyway they can to express themselves. One easy, fun, and painless way is to dye their hair. Many use this as a way to step out of their comfort zone and put themselves out there to make friends and become more confident.196 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Patricia Deakins

Iowa senate vote to stop bslBsl is racism at its finest being supported by the government instead of educating the public it is used to scare them. You cant blame the breed of a animal for the bad choices of a human no more than you can blame a person for the color of their skin . Many people are being forced to choose between their loving family pet and the town in which they live and that is causing over population in shelters and causing hundreds even thousands of good dogs to be killed..97 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chelsea Davis

Equality for Medicaid EligibilityAre you single or widowed? If you are, did you know that your assets can be no more than $ 2,000 in order to be considered for medicaid assistance? But if you are married your assets can total $ 90,000 and you can have one home and one car. This policy is clearly discriminatory for many citizens.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Karen LaManna

IMVU: Fix Broken Company PoliciesI am a member of your community. Some of the names on this list are part of your developing community as well. We, the people of both your social community AND THE MEANS FOR YOUR BUSINESS have had enough of your lack of ability to perform your jobs to their fullest extent. Below is your list of things that are expected of your company that they are not doing: A) Properly reviewing the content of publicly displayed images. - You have failed to demonstrate your ability to properly review images that are displayed publicly by banning or even disabling users whose avatar display images are not considered "Access Pass Only" (hereafter referred to as AP) or do not go against the terms laid out in your own Terms of Service (hereafter referred to as ToS). B) Properly reviewing products in your catalog that have been flagged by your users. - When an item goes through the Peer Review system, that means that a jury of it's peers has declared that this item is properly rated and is suitable for IMVU catalog. Something’s make it through that are not. However, where the inability of your company lies is in someone reporting an item that has made it through Peer Review already. It is obvious by the refunds and by the products being disabled, along with their creators, that IMVU is not doing their own reviewing properly. Items that have no reason being AP are being flagged as inappropriate and then you proceed to ban it and provide a refund because it has supposedly broken the ToS when there is nothing evident about it that does so. Unacceptable. C) Providing information to those who have been victim to the above. - When someone is victim to the above mentioned failures of your company, you refuse to impart details as to why they have been banned, disabled, or why a product was removed. The only thing you say is that it was reported and upon review was found guilty. Under what terms was it found to break the ToS? How is someone in a leather jacket, which is from your catalog and a “General Access” item (hereafter referred to as GA), breaking your ToS? The pose was not considered AP. They were even by themselves in their picture. So how? D) Not punishing those who are acting out of spite. - There are people who simply report others for fun. There are those who do it out of anger when wronged by another person somehow. These “Serial Reporters” are not being punished for their actions and you are simply feeding into them to keep doing it by not reviewing or doing your jobs properly. You are the final judge on what happens and yet you do nothing to prevent the true criminals from leeching away your community. You, IMVU, are letting down your consumers. The same people who are your users. The same people who are your means of business. The same people who use this as their own means to business. You are failing to properly punish those who are wrong and supporting these false vigilantes in their quest to watch the world burn. We, the community of IMVU, have had enough. We are signing this petition to show to you that you need to fix these problems because we are not going to take this abuse any longer. We are not just bits of data. We are real people and we will not be denied what is properly ours, the ability to use this program without the fear of being banned or disabled because the host company will not do their job properly.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tim Buehler

President Barack Obama: Stop the F-35!My Neighborhood and my health are in danger of losing a decent quality of life if the F-35 is brought to The Burlington Airport. The airforce itself has reported that the area near the airport would be deemed unlivable! Yet our local politicians are not listening, nor will they respond to our queries. People should come first and the wasteful cost of the F-35 should be cut!!!459 of 500 Signatures

Even in cases of rape or incestMy two years in the Peace Corps were among the most difficult and most rewarding of my life. I was stationed in a small village called Tanyigbe in Ghana where I taught chemistry and biology at the local high school. Peace Corps volunteers, like me, devote their time and energy in service of people all around the world, and sadly, they too often face the risk of sexual assault. So, when I found out that women in the Peace Corps are denied access to abortion coverage—even in cases of rape, incest or life endangerment—I was outraged. The Peace Corps Equity Act of 2013 would fix this, and we know we can make it happen. When the American public discovered that military women—who are too frequently victims of sexual assault—were denied abortion coverage in such cases, the public outcry led to the passage of the Shaheen Amendment to change that. So we know that if we speak out loud enough, we can win this. And this bill is on the move in the Senate, so we need to act now. Will you join me to create the groundswell we need to ensure that women in the Peace Corps have access to abortion coverage?137 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Pat Gordon
