Stop Using Toxic Fracking Waste On Our RoadsWith community encouragement, our county recently turned down an offer to use fracking waste (undisclosed toxic chemical waste from hydrofracking) as de-icing 'brine' on our roads. Our water source, a well, is about 6 feet from the road. Chemicals used on our roads can stick to our shoes and run-off into our water sources. Legislation and oversight of this practice needs to be immediate and strong, yet doesn't yet exist. Let's get it started.1,514 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Lisa Ellerby

To America's elected leaders: let's all pitch in to strengthen Social Security and Medicare!Dramatically increased life spans require that we make common sense adjustments to Social Security and Medicare. Proposed solutions that "grandfather" everyone over 55 show political cowardice, are divisive, and assume those of us closer to retirement aren't willing to share in the sacrifice. I believe all age groups love this country and are willing to pitch in as long as they feel the sacrifice is equally shared. Since raising the retirement age disproportionately affects the poor, equal sacrifice would call for eliminating the Social Security and Medicare payroll caps. This would ensure all Americans contribute the same percentage of their income (whether from work or investments) to these programs. Finally common sense dictates that these programs should be means-tested so that benefits are not automatically paid to those fortunate enough to not need them.18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mark Minkler

Return the City ManagerReturn to a more efficient and effective form of city government. As a long-term city employee and union president for over nine years I have seen the problems, poor stewardship, and lack of professional training and behavior of city management. It's time to return to a more beneficial leadership process.66 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alan Cox

Raise New York's Minimum WageAt $7.25 per hour, New York’s minimum wage remains decades out of date. With growing numbers of New York State residents relying on low-wage jobs to survive, too many workers do not earn enough to afford basic expenses. The Senate and Assembly should pass legislation raising the minimum wage to $8.75 per hour and indexing it to rise automatically with the cost of living each year. Raising the minimum wage is politically popular and morally right. Eighty percent of New York voters support raising the minimum wage.506 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Benjamin Linsley

Custody Guidelines for Children of DivorceThis petition is an attempt to attain equal parental rights for fathers and equity in child custody for both parents and, most importantly, guarantee what should be the right of every child to have equal access to both parents. The push pull of unbalanced rights can often serve as a detriment for children of divorced parents. I have been affected by the prevalent gender bias displayed by many courts, and it in no way has benefited my daughter. It is for what is in her best interests, and what she should have a right to, that I started this petition.215 of 300 SignaturesCreated by David Corona
