• GOP House Leadership: Stop playing political games and pass immigration reform
    House Republicans are at it again. Their recent attack on young immigrants shows just how far they are willing to go to please the extremists in their party. Until last year, nearly a million children of undocumented immigrants were restricted from doing many basic things like driving, going to college, or applying for jobs. Their immigration status forced them to live in shadows and prevented them from pursuing their American Dream. But last year these young people -- often called DREAMers -- and the entire immigrant community won a huge victory when President Obama announced the deferred action policy which allowed them to finally come out of the shadows and pursue their dreams through a temporary fix to their status. Now nearly all Republican members of the House are shamefully trying to dismantle this victory by blocking all funding to the program and putting DREAMers at risk of deportation. While this vote was mostly a symbolic gesture (since there’s no chance the House bill as is will be passed by the Senate), this was a direct attack on children and young immigrants. Our community is looking for leadership on immigration reform, not more attacks. Please join us in telling the GOP House leadership that we're tired of their party's political games. It's time we pass immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship.

  • Fix the FISA Amendments Act
    The US Government is using shaky legal interpretations to justify a literal back door into major internet and telecom companies. It is sucking up photos, videos, IMs, emails, phone numbers, stored documents, internet searches, and more. These opaque intelligence programs are overly broad and need more oversight. They trample on our right to privacy and are not making us safer.

  • New Jersey deserves to know if our food has been genetically modified. Please sign if you support...
    My family and I are personally affected by big chemical companies like Monsanto that are now controlling what we eat. GMO food companies are poisoning our bodies, killing our bees, bullying our small farmers to shut down their farms by monopolizing the food business, and making farmers around the world rely only on them for our food. Let's start with New Jersey and push back by demanding that our food be labeled. Let us choose what we want to put in our bodies.

  • Governor Rick Scott: STOP THE EROSION OF TENANT PROTECTIONS FROM FLORIDA’S LANDLORD TENANT ACT
    Please veto HB77 which is clearly written to be pro-landlord and anti-tenant. Protect Florida residents from unscrupulous Landlords and launch a review and investigation on current Statutes that already leave Florida tenants vulnerable. HB77 makes the assumption that the Landlord is always right, and tenants have no worth. Tenants who cannot afford counsel are especially at risk. To provide Landlords with even more protection without an honest, in depth look at what is happening to many Florida tenants would be irresponsible lawmaking. Florida Landlords already have limited responsibility and there are few if any real regulatory agencies to force Landlords to maintain their properties or provide proper accounting to their tenants who pay the mortgages on their income producing properties. There is no aid for tenants who fall victim to these bad Landlords. If a tenant complains to a Landlord for lack of maintenance for instance, a Landlord can at any time, file retaliatory and fraudulent lawsuits against tenants and virtually force tenants and families into homelessness. Statistics would probably show that single women, the elderly and women with children and minorities would be particularly vulnerable.

  • Relieve Principal Torres Relevar a la Directora Torres
    This petition was started due to very serious concerns with the performance of Principal Torres at Beach School. I am a parent of three students at Beach and in Principal Torres' first year I have witnessed significant deterioration in the school morale and serious doubts arise about the schools ability to deliver quality education under her watch. Beach has a strong, diverse community of involved parents and teachers that have created a school environment which is the envy of many other public schools. In her first year Principal Torres has been a poor communicator, a poor planner, a poor collaborator, and largely disengaged from the teachers, students, and parents that make up the school community. It now appears many teachers will leave the school due to her lack of support and leadership.
