• Acrobatic Gymnastics in the Olympics
    Acrobatic gymnastics is a sport that thousands of athletes compete in worldwide, however, it is not yet a part of the Olympic Games. These athletes work just as hard, yet are under-funded and under-appreciated because they cannot hold an Olympic title. Help these talented athletes get the appreciation and funding they deserve by telling the USOC to include acrobatic gymnastics in the Olympics.

  • NYC Mayor tells NY Governor to attack School Bus Operators
    NYC Mayor Bloomberg has attacked the police and fire unions, mass transit union, public school teachers union and now the school bus unions. He told the governor of NY, Andrew Cuomo, to veto the very same job protection provision the mayor included in the contract he sent to the governor to sign. Why did the governor allow a mayor to tell him what to do? Now the mayor is claiming the protection is illegal and refuses to be involved in the labor dispute. The mayor wants to cut school bus runs so successful workers would be laid off every year, then recreate runs so bus companies could rehire the laid off workers as new drivers at beginner salaries, the protection prevents this sneaky deed. The NYC Council, NYC Comptroller, the police and transportation unions, sand parents of students are all against the the mayor's actions. We need to tell this governor to stand up against this malicious mayor and protect the modest middle class jobs in his state, which is the promised he made to New Yorkers when he ran for governor.

  • Impose Term Limits On Congress
    I am starting this petition, because I am sick of the life-time politicians we have in Congress. Congress continues to act as if the people don't matter, and only do things when it benefits them. The amount of rotation in Congress is at an all-time low, due to peoples disenchantment of our system. I believe if there were shorter terms and no life-time politicians for Lobbyist to corrupt, Congress might do more for the people that voted them into Office.

  • Help save our economy and ecosystems with a provision to the Endangered Species Act
    This petition in short is my own personal attempt to save America from itself and allow our nations wildlife and habitat to forever thrive under this constitutional amendment which I hope to have help incorperating into the Endangered Species Act, which is the only soverign voice that nature has among our laws to ensure it endours this age of industrialized expansion of capitolism. I want to ensure that our free market remains in tact allowing local businesses the right to affectively compete and prohibiting excessive corperate franchise expansion to areas that must be protected. It would also aid in teaching us as Americans that we must use our freedoms to build our homes and lives within the balance of nature, instead of us whining over such inconviences like local habitat and wildlife which might get in the way of our hunting hobbies, or golf courses. It's time to live responsibly and freedom and pursuit of happiness should extend past our own species, to the rest of earth's creations.

  • Mr. President, Stop using Armed Drones!
    The issues surrounding the use of armed drones are many and complicated and the consequences of using them tragic and far-reaching. Do we as a nation really condone the loss of innocent life in the taking of terrorists by drone attack? What are we doing in Afghanistan? Are we at war? Are we an occupying force? The war on terrorism has become a morass into which we are dumping our humanity. We must re-think who we are as a nation and fellow human beings.

  • Representative Tim Murphy: give back the $5,000 you took from the NRA, and support commonsense po...
    The NRA has spent the past six weeks holding bizarre press events and taking public actions that show how out of touch they are with the rest of the country. Rep. Murphy is representing the interests of gun manufacturers instead of representing the wishes of his constituents. Citizens want common sense gun legislation.

  • Female Religious LEADERS
    I have been told by a local Catholic Priest that it would take more than a petition to change this. I DISAGREE. The churches that do not allow women to hold the Priesthood should not be allowed to have tax deductions in the USA.

  • Karen Carey, please fire Bob Lonesberry
    Remove Bob Lonesberry from WHAM 1180.. His sanctimonious vitriol commentary is hurtful to our community. He had been fired by WHAM 1180 before because of racist comments he made, only to be rehired. Still, this man spews racism and bigotry towards women, all behind a very thin veil.
