STOP CO-LOCATIONS OF SCHOOLS IN BROOKLYN, NEW YORKOur school has been effected co-location by elected public officials who have sign off in agreement of co-locating a failing school into our existing building. They claim that we have space in our building to hold an additional 60-80 students. Our general population which holds 768 students, can hold up to 818 students, elected officials approved this co-location proposal on 4/17/2013 without warning or giving parents, who have children waiting on an existing waiting priority over the in coming school effective as of 9/2013. It is not only happening in Brooklyn, each borough is being affected by co-locations of schools and parents should have a voice in their children's education. Folks who do not have children in the school system, should not have a voice for what is good for them. Parents get on board with your child's education, they will only be left behind if we, as parents of a new generation don't stand up for them.28 of 100 SignaturesCreated by ARLENE

Stop the Furloughs, Retirement Reductions, Benefits Cuts & Pay Freezes of Federal Employees!!I am a Civil Servant for the past 10 years (GS-5) and every dollar that is cut from my benefits means I have to pay for the difference. At GS-5 level that makes a big difference as I don't make 100k/year. The furloughs will cut my pay 13% this year and that's hard when your supporting a family. 20 billion in sequester savings (at most) will not make a difference in a multi-trillion dollar budget deficit. Look elsewhere and stop targeting Federal Civil Servants by using us as scapegoats for every financial problem this country has.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Johnny Cascio

Clemency for Nathan DunlapNathan Dunlap is scheduled to be executed in Colorado the week of Aug 18, 2013. The death penalty is rarely used [5%] in cases where it would be allowed. Instead execution is used to scare any pleading prisoner into a stiffer sentence .32 of 100 SignaturesCreated by jan karol

Protect Michigan No-FaultPlease oppose the Insurance Industry's effort to gut Michigan's no-fault system through House Bill 4612, which will cost us thousands of jobs, heap millions of dollars in increased Medicaid costs onto taxpayers, and take away needed care for our state's most seriously injured while not providing consumers any real or lasting savings.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Amy

Get OHIO on board now: GL equality in MarriageHelp make equality a reality for all Ohioans1 Governor John Kasich doesn't agree with you and me, and has a long record of prejudice on this issue. Aside from opposing marriage equality, last month, in amazingly fast flip flop, John Kasich went from being "okay" to "no way" on civil unions in a matter of hours. His flip-flop shouldn’t come as a surprise to Ohioans. Kasich has a long anti-LGBT record, beginning with his time in Congress, when he voted to ban adoptions by gay parents, and supported the Defense of Marriage Act and the military's now defunct “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy that ruined so many good soldiers', sailors' and marines' careers and lives. . Delaware became the 11th state to move forward and make marriage universally available to couples of the same gender as it has for centuries to heterosexual couples OHIO needs to be the 12th state. But our regressive governor doesn;t see it that way nor does he act that way. Some in the OHIO House are even more regressive than the Governor. We know where this issue is going. It isn't cysorclical. There will be universal recognition of gay marriage eventually, so why not now? OHIO next and then the Federal Government so that the rest of the states come on board in a swoop - or swish (sorry, it just came out).6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Franks

California: Donate Life Paid Leave of AbsenceI'm Kidney Failure Patient 100% dependent on Dialysis. I'm looking for a Living Donor to Donate a Kidney to me. I haven't found one person willing to be tested. There's not enough awareness about being a Living Organ Donor. The Donor will need at lease 6 weeks off work after the surgery. In these days most people can't afford to be without pay for 6 weeks. So we have people like myself waiting on a List, or die waiting on a List for our number to come up.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tammy C

Stop Corporations From Taking Over the Healthcare Sector Now!This is the second Florida nursing home i've worked in that's been taken over by a corporation. Corporate takeover affects each and every one of us-staff and patients. The first thing corporations do, without any knowledge about caring for people, is to clean house. This is a people and not product-centered industry. We need to look at more than just numbers and figures on a piece of paper. As long as Corporate America is in charge, staff will continue to be overworked, underpaid and patients will continue to receive care that is sub-par!5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Melanie Calder
