My wife of ten years is a disabled stroke survivor and depends on me to care for her. Homeland security has demanded she leave the USA where we own a home. I have filed a I-130 application for a green-card and need for my wife remain in the USA while she waits for the visa to be approved.

I am an affordable housing advocate who has lived in Cambridge, MA for over 30 years, and I am deeply worried about the future of my home town. Big real estate developers like Forest City are asking the Cambridge City Council to change zoning laws to allow much taller and bigger buildings all over Cambridge, so the developers can make more money. I think allowing high-rise office, lab, and market-rate apartment buildings in Kendall Square, Central Square, Alewife, and Northpoint will continue to drive rents and housing prices up. The tens of thousands of additional auto, bus and truck trips per day will intensify traffic congestion, worsen air quality, and make the streets less safe. High-rise buildings threaten to create shadows and wind tunnels, block sky views, increase noise pollution, and remove green space. The city of Cambridge does not have a current and complete Master Plan to guide equitable development.

The Boy Scouts of America currently hold a BAN on homosexuals; they have expelled them from leadership positions and stopped deserving boys from getting their eagle awards.

I want to know what is in our food. I care about my families health and I'm sure you do. We should have the right to decide for ourselves if we want to eat Genetically Modified Organisms or NOT.

The 2nd amendment is critical to a free society. Even the FBI has agreed that more gun control will accomplish nothing.

Plastic bags have a high cost on the health of our environment and ourselves. They drift through our streets and end up in our water, where they form massive plastic structures and degrade into a microscopic form that winds up in our bodies or our food, adversely affecting our endocrine systems. While a plastic bag tax may seem like an imposition it would actually help encourage people to reduce their plastic dependency and the money it raises could directly fund bioremediation projects across the country and the globe.

I am sick and tired of all of the blaming that goes on in the US Congress.

Yale University has plans to partner with the Department of Defense to create a military interrogation training center that would use immigrants as test subjects. The plan specifically calls for test subjects that are “someone they [soldiers] can’t necessarily identify with, ”specifically “Moroccans, Columbians, Nepalese, Ecuadorians and others.” Lumping people of color in a category as out-of-the-norm folks who soldiers (many of whom are immigrants themselves) can’t identify with? And then using them as test subjects to test out war techniques? It is outrageous that the university would consider such a highly offensive plan. Dean Robert Alpern and other Yale leaders who are considering this proposal care a lot about the university’s public image. Yale depends on alumni for funding and already some former students have threatened to stop making donations after they heard about the center. If thousands of us sign this petition, the media will take notice and Dean Alpern will be forced to rethink this highly offensive plan.

"I hate illegals" is just some of what 18-year-old undocumented student Jessica Bravo was greeted with after she made an appointment with her congressman, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher. Rep. Rohrabacher also made a veiled threat to deport her, saying he "knows where she lives." Speaker of the House John Boehner has being trying to revamp the Republican Party's image with Latino voters after an election season full of hateful rhetoric like Rep. Rohrabacher's. What happened to Jessica Bravo is exactly the kind of thing House Speaker Boehner wouldn’t want in the media. We need 10,000 people to sign so we can do an in-person delivery to let Boehner and the Republican party know they can't have it both ways: loving Latinos and hating Latinos. If enough of us pressure Boehner, he will be forced to publicly condemn Rep Rohrabacher’s actions, and we’ll be able to spread Jessica Bravo’s story.

I recently started working as an office assistant in a growing company. We rent an office space in the ASU research park in Tempe. During my first week I experienced a bit of a “culture shock” one might call it. At home and at school I am accustomed to recycling absolutely everything that is recyclable, however here in the office everything is thrown away. We generate so much paper, I can only guess at the total amount, but I would estimate that it is at the very least 100 pounds a day just from our one office (there are about a dozen other businesses with offices in our building and a few dozen buildings in the research park.) I would say that perhaps 90% - 95% of what we throw away in our office is recyclable and about 80% of that is either paper or cardboard. The only thing that is not recyclable is probably food waste from lunch breaks. In an office like ours, or any other the other offices in the building, we could probably have only one trash can for the whole office and put recycling bins in place of all the other current trash cans. I discussed the serious need for a recycling program with a couple other employees who expressed frustration and concern about the extreme waste and the detrimental effects on our planet. I learned that they had already attempted to instigate a recycling program; they did the research and brought it to the building management. Even though instigating such a program would be free and cost the building management nothing-- they declined the request. For a while, the two of them work on their own, collecting the days recycling and transporting it in their own vehicles to a recycling center, but due to the sheer volume of paper and other recyclables generated by this office, they were forced to abandon their efforts—it had become too much. I took up the cause, delving into the government internet websites for Arizona and the City of Tempe. I found out that, yes, it would be free for the building management to add a recycling program “If you receive City of Tempe trash service there is no charge for the weekly recycling collection service. For a limited time we will provide recycling containers at no charge.” (http://www.tempe.gov/index.aspx?page=1009) I tried to look in to laws and regulations about commercial and business recycling. The only laws I found pertain to what can and what cannot be recycled. I would like to propose a petition that would make it mandatory for the property owners and/or management of all corporate offices and commercial enterprises to make a recycling program available to their tenants or employees upon request.
