Call for a statewide proposition so that the voters can decide to change the real estate tax rates for business, without changing the tax rates for owner occupied residences. Remove the tax break for all commercial properties. Use these new found monies to help fund public schools.

Arch Coal's Adkins Fork mountaintop removal (MTR) coal mining permit would destroy an important part of the Blair Mountain battlefield in West Virginia, site of the largest labor uprising in US history. MTR is destroying our health, heritage, environment, and communities. Appalachians deserve a better future.

Good happens because of your work. It's slow and laborious. No time to spare how ever; for justice, the environment, education, economic security. I propose this petition because it hurts so much to watch and wait.

I believe that corporations should pay their fair share! Sign if you agree! Be the change!

I am a waffles lover, and Pancakes are awful. I think this because pancakes do not have square pockets to hold syrup in, and Waffles do. They Are much more fun to make than Pancakes as well. Pancakes should be removed from the equation.

I am a charter school teacher. I have seen first-hand the need for greater amounts of funding for public education.

To reduce the number of senators and representants in the state legislature by 50% in order to save us ( the taxpayers those salaries)

New Yorkers are coming together to keep their neighbors safe and warm. Why isn't the Mayor? A constellation of volunteers have come together and worked day in and day out to help our neighbors in need. This volunteer force has been holding people up with food, supplies, comfort and so much more. And while the city has been engaged with some relief efforts, Mayor Bloomberg has blocked FEMA from bringing in the critical big resources that are needed. People cannot live in toxic mold infested homes without heat. We urgently need immediate temporary housing in affected areas, and a simultaneous effort to restore the homes to safe living conditions. Hotels are not a solution. Communities want to be rebuilt, not be displaced. Sandy took so much. Let’s not let a poor response from the City cause more deaths for New Yorkers

There is currently a 9 month wait for Veteran's to receive a response from the Veteran's Administration. Despite efforts to decrease the backlog and wait time, it has actually increased. Obviously, manpower along with re-structuring is needed. Hiring the unemployed for this would actually benefit two of this country's most dire populations.

In 2011, over 46,000 parents of at least one U.S. citizen child were part of massive ICE detentions and deportations. During these sweeps many parents were unable to claim or make arrangements for their children to be returned to them, or to be cared for by close family members. As a result, thousands of children have been scattered throughout the nation’s county foster care system – making separation from their parents' love, permanent.

NJ-based pharmaceutical company, Celgene thinks its reason for being an ALEC member is "consistent with Celgene's vision, mission and values." ALEC promotes voter ID laws, "Stand Your Ground" laws like Florida's, anti-immigration laws like Arizona's SB 1070, laws to undermine collective bargaining and the minimum wage, bills that could privatize public education and resolutions that deny climate change. Sign this petition if you think Celgene should focus on improving the lives of patients, not funding ALEC’s extreme agenda!

We are now down to six (6) media organizations in this country. The FCC is considering a process that would allow a given media giant to own TV, Radio, and Print media - all in a given city. This will stifle open discussion even more. We will all be affected by biased news to an even greater extent.
