• 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.

  • Tell Congresswoman Judy Chu to support a discharge petition for comprehensive immigration reform!
    Comprehensive immigration reform is dying a slow death in Congress because House Speaker Boehner—who has the power to demand an up-or-down vote on the reform bill—refuses to get out of the way.Bnut there is a simple way that Democrats can bypass Boehner and save immigration reform. They can introduce the Senate bill, which passed with broad bipartisan support, then use a discharge petition to force an up-or-down vote in the House of Representatives.  A discharge petition is the most viable option to pass comprehensive immigration reform this fall. It only takes 218 votes to file a discharge petition—that's every Democrat in Congress and 17 Republicans. Support for the discharge petition is growing in the media and among members of Congress. Millions of hard working families are waiting for the opportunity to have a path to legalization. As a proud American citizen and former undocumented immigrant legalized under the 1986 Amnesty, I support them and want them to know the American Dream is alive and well in 2013! Please join me in asking Representative Judy Chu to support a discharge petition for comprehensive immigration reform!

  • Tell CVS to withdraw its application to build a store in downtown Sebastopol.
    CVS wants to build a store at the intersection of two State Highways, with access across lanes of two way traffic. It would bring gridlock to our small downtown. CVS also insists on drive thrus that will further increase stacking of cars on our busiest streets.

  • Representative Ruben Hinojosa support a discharge petition for comprehensive immigration reform
    The Senate passed a strong comprehensive immigration reform bill. Immigration reform will strengthen our economy, keep families together, and offer a clear roadmap to citizenship for nearly 11 million tax-paying, aspiring Americans. As a child of immigrant parents, I want to see an immigration reform law passed this year, which is supported by the majority of Americans. The time is now.

  • Pedro should not be separated from his family!
    Pedro, a father of four from Elyria, Ohio, is scheduled to be deported this week -- but there is still time for you to help keep him home with his family. Pedro is the primary caregiver for his stepson, Juan, who has cerebral palsy and is entirely dependent upon others to take care of his basic needs. Pedro was a firefighter in Mexico and came to the United States over 10 years ago in search of a job, and built his life with with his wife, Seleste, in Elyria. He has a kind heart and he is exactly the sort of person America should welcome with open arms, not expel. Please sign this petition to stop Pedro's deportation -- Pedro is counting on you. According to policies set by President Obama, there are multiple reasons Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) should stop Pedro's deportation – reasons the local ICE office has ignored: He has resided in the U.S. for many years. He is married to a U.S. citizen. He is father of four U.S. citizens. He is the “primary caretaker of a person with a mental or physical disability.” ICE already ignored these factors once: they deported Pedro earlier this year, after the Border Patrol mysteriously showed up at his home when he was returning from his son’s daycare. Pedro returned to the United States because he knew that his family was suffering without him and needed his help—everyone in the family, but especially Juan. Now, ICE is preparing to make the wrong decision again. Pedro is currently being held by ICE in a local county jail, and could be deported this week. When Congress passes immigration reform, Pedro may qualify for immigration status and eventually citizenship. This is all the more reason for ICE to step in now and grant Pedro deferred action until Congress can finish its job. Help keep Pedro with his family: Please contact ICE today.

  • Ban On Graphic Photos In Public Places
    It's time to speak up. Many of us are pro life and understand that there is a difference between pro life supporters and anti abortionist activists who utilize hate speeches and often force graphic photos on the public. These photos are offensive to parents who do not utilize abortion. They are disturbing to our children who are not mature enough to understand what they're seeing. They do not belong in public places. In Rockford, we have a conservative and tactful approach to sheltering our children from harmful images such as inappropriate magazines that are placed in paper bags. These images are no acception. If you agree that this is unacceptable, please sign and share this petition to ban such graphic images from public places in Rockford, Il.
