• Mothers given jail time for drug exposed babies
    My petition is about mothers who have babies and their babies are DRUG/ALCOHOL EXPOSED and the child is then taken into CPS custody and the mothers are released from hospital with out any punishment or worry. I feel that when a child is drug/alcohol exposed the mother and father (if present and tests positive) should be given jail time. These children have no fault for their mothers choices and are being abused while in their mothers womb, and these children Can have short or long term health problems including withdrawals and psychological issue. These mothers are consistent drug users with addictions that are harmful to the human body and are putting these babies in harm and they are walking free while the cps systems raise their childrens and at times they go from home to home and many parents are not willing to adopt children who are drug exposed due to the high amount of Care and attention these children need. I have adopted my 3 neices due to the fact that they were taken into cps custody for my sister using drugs while pregnant, thankfully I was able to take full responsibility for my neices but so many children are less fortunate and have to live an unhealthy life growing up in foster care and then going to group homes and most of these children have no where to go once they are 18 and forced to leave the group home and end up on the streets, I truely feel that something needs to be done asap and I know we cant force these selfish human beings to tie their tubes or use birth control but their should be mandatory punishment. Every child should be allowed to live a normal healthy life and not start off their life with drug or alcohol withdrawals. LETS GIVE ALL CHILDREN A HEALTHY CHANCE IN LIFE!!!

  • Ohio Board of Elections: Give Fair Access to Voting
    For months, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted has personally acted to restrict early voting in counties with large Democratic populations—casting tie-breaking votes to limit voting to weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in urban areas like Franklin County, where in previous elections 82% of early voters did so on nights or weekends. Now, Secretary of State Husted said he is considering limiting early voting hours across the state in the run-up to the November election. Help send a message that voting should be accessible to everyone, regardless of his or her political affiliation.

  • Trader Joe's: We want meat without drugs!
    Antibiotics are pumped into cows, chickens and pigs so they can survive in cramped, filthy feedlots and to make them grow faster. The more antibiotics our livestock eat, the more drug resistant bacteria become, putting us at risk from deadly "superbugs." Grocery stores can play a critical role to help protect public health by asking their meat suppliers end this practice. We're looking to Trader Joe's, one of the nation's more progressive grocers, to commit to selling only meat raised without antibiotics. Tell Trader Joe's to lead the way in getting animals off antibiotics! Trader Joe's has shown concern for public health by refusing to sell products that have artificial colors, trans fats or GMOs. Let's get the grocer to take the next step! Hundreds of thousands of consumers have already signed on demanding that Trader Joe's sell only meat without antibiotics. Add your name, and let's get our meat off of drugs.
