Empower SFMTA (San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency) for better transitENUF (a NIMBY organization) is trying to disempower SFMTA from making sane transportation decisions such as enabling SFMTA to extend evening and Sunday parking meters. We believe that SFMTA should instead be more aggressive in putting a market price on parking and expedite its SFPark program with funds used to improve other transporation modes in the city. SFPark is actually helpful to those drivers who actually need to drive by improving parking availability and reducing congestion due to circling for parking. Thus we believe SFMTA should aggressively pursue its expansion as it will benefit everyone.369 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Mario Tanev

Gov. Brewer: Stop attacking young immigrantsJan Brewer, the governor of Arizona, is obsessed with two things: immigrant bashing, and the spotlight. She's the mother of one of the worst anti-immigrant laws in the country and now she's launched a hateful attack on DREAMers. President Obama made a smart policy change to allow undocumented immigrant youth–who were brought to the U.S. as children, grew up here, and are either in school or have graduated–to apply for a work permit and relief from deportation. The move is favored by the majority of Americans and it just makes common sense. On the day that thousands of these promising young people lined up to apply, what did Gov. Brewer do? Without skipping a beat, Brewer signed an executive order directing state agencies to, among other things, deny drivers' licenses to DREAMer applicants. It's a mean-spirited and vindictive move that takes her anger with Obama out on 80,000 defenseless Arizona DREAMers. It’s time we put an end to Gov. Brewer’s hateful anti-immigrant campaign. Arizona deserves better! Please stand with the DREAMers in Arizona and join us in saying, “Shame on you, Governor Brewer!”3,604 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Matt Hildreth

Constitutional Seats changed to Non-partisian"Let's keep our right to vote as the party member we are and not be forced to vote as a member of another party just to vote in the County Sheriff's race" Camden County with less than 100,000 populations should have non-partisan constitutional seats. This allows everyone to vote for a candidate without choosing a party. This allows for equal voter representation throughout the County. Due to the polarization of the national election it is difficult to have local voters focus on the constitutional officers as a single race. Many voters are required to choice a different party than their own to vote in these races. This disenfranchises every voter and decreases voter participation solely because of the partisan political requirement.29 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kelvin Blue

Let's solve problems rather than spout rhetoric. Revive the "Bring Jobs Home" ActWhere do I stand: higher taxes or more jobs? - The tax break needed for working families (in addition to strengthening Social Security and Medicare) can be effected by removing now obsolete tax breaks for outsourcing jobs. So let's draw attention to reviving Senate bill S.3364, the Bring Jobs Home Act , as it "Hits the Nail on the Head" with what's wrong in this country.36 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Richard Cox

Give Back Local Control of Newark Public SchoolsIn 1995 the state of New Jersey took control of the Newark Public Schools District. Since this takeover the Newark Public Schools District has seen a continuous decline in achievement among its students. In recent years we have seen an abuse of power by state officials in addition to arbitrary school closings, and the privatization of public school education.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rashon K.

Governor Sandoval: Stop blocking federal funds for the uninsuredHaving health insurance is NOT a partisan issue. Ask anyone living in the great state of Nevada who is uninsured and they will agree. Governor Sandoval has an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those who are uninsured, by accepting federal funds for Obamacare. Yet, he turns these funds away. A Governor should represent his constituents, not his party. Do the right thing Governor, and make a difference for the uninsured in Nevada.1,561 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Tony Burnside

Hillary for Vice PresidentAmerica cannot afford to be run by the Romney-Ryan ticket, who will do the bidding of the wealthiest 1%, and the polluters at BIG oil and "clean" coal. Having HILLARY CLINTON on the Democratic ticket as VP will GUARANTEE a victory for the Obama-Clinton ticket and the Democratic House and Senate candidates down-ticket.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jim "Jimmy Limo" Striegel

Stop Misdemeanor Criminal Background Checks!My petition is about how everyday common people who have committed misdemeanors, even those committed as long as ten years ago and was dismissed. They are being denied the right to work and getting an apartment, because employers and apartment managers run a criminal background check and will not hire them or allow them to move into decent housing, even though the past offense or charge was a misdemeanor and dismissed by the courts. Young productive adults, are being denied their right of a chance to obtain employment and decent housing, because of past mistakes of many years gone by. Employers will not hire them and they desperately want and need jobs to support themselves and their families!15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jonell Fields
