Save Dante's Down the Hatch in AtlantaThere's a restaurant in Buckhead, Atlanta (Lenox area) called Dante's Down the Hatch which is a cultural gem. It has antique cars outside, a pirate ship inside with a steering wheel for kids, is zagat rated, and has been around for a while. It is being priced out of the area by raising land value making the taxes that of a 15-story office building, even though it's a restaurant. Please sign this petition so the city doesn't treat it as business-as-usual.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brian

End unjust tax loopholes and undeserved subsidies to avert the sequesterMillions of elderly, disabled and poor people are about to lose their homes because of Republicans' refusal to end unjust tax loopholes, off-shore havens, etc., and subsidies for the wealthiest Americans and corporations. It is estimated that the revenue these obscene loopholes, off-shore havens and subsidies are depriving the American people of would generate more than enough to avert the upcoming sequester.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by joseph laudani

Ban GMO Test Crops in HawaiiCompanies like Monsanto are using Hawaii as a testing ground for their genetically modified organism (GMO) experiments. Due to Hawaii's remote location and year-round growing season, these companies believe we are the perfect place for these tests to occur, because if something were to go wrong, its effects would be contained here. We will not stand to be used by genetic engineering companies for their profit any longer. Get GMO test crops out of Hawaii.14,926 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Amie Buttke

The Value of Suction dredging should be supportedSuction Dredging is an enviromently friendly form of mineral extraction and contributes to the benefit of Oregon economy. California has a Temporary ban on dredging and as such has lost 100's of small businesses and put many families in financal ruin. The lies put forth about dredging are just that, Science has proven over and over that Suction dredging causes little harm. Science also states facts that relate possible benefits to fish including Salmon. Oregon Tax payers pay nothing for cleanup after lawfull Suction Dredging operations, since there is no cleanup.114 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Eben Ray

It will reduce crime, reduce overall health expenses, and stimulate community development, especially in rural areas.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joseph W. Phillips
