• Sensible Gun Regulations
    This is not a petition to ban fireams, only the demand for sensible regulation. No more sales of automatic weapons such as the AK 47 which allows mass killing. No more state laws that allow people to carry concealed weapons everywhere, as in Florida. More background information before guns are sold. Everytime these senseless murders of children & innocent people occur, I ask why are our legistatures so gutless that they cannot buck the gun lobby? Why are we standing by and doing nothing?

  • Stop Iowa City TIF Gifts Now!
    Taxpayer subsidized private development in the form of Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) is a perversion of the intent of the legislation. It's use diminishes the tax revenues available to our schools and county government for an extended period of time, sometimes up to 20 or 25 years or more.

  • Change the second amendment.
    I have only witnessed this horror on tv. Unfortunately it's not the first time. We have noooooooo gun control. Why can't we run our country likes the English. In England even the "bobbies" don't carry guns. Things will just keep going on in this place. Nothing will change.

  • Prevent more mass murders
    Mass murderers want to see themselves on TV. The media should refer to them only in the third person, with no pictures. Freedom of the press means the media has the right to not give these fiends what they want most.

  • Equity Residential Attempts to Dismantle Rent Control/Below Market Rate Programs
    This petition is to alert residents to the fact that the largest property management company in the country, Equity Residential Properties, is attempting to dismantle Rent Control laws and Below Market Rate programs as millions of Americans are suffering from lack of affordable housing. I am currently a victim of their attempt to dismantle the Below Market Rate program in San Francisco despite being granted tax free bonds to build properties in San Francisco for the last 25 years.

  • NO MORE GUNS!!!!!!
    Guns...easily purchased, any size, any shape, as long as there is killing ability! Stop this senseless need to murder. People who 'need' to own a gun are inherently carrying a very frightening message that is actually embedded in their psyche! They think that 'hunting' covers this but even killing an animal or bird is just another message that they are hard-wired for the next level down. Also, it seems that anyone can purchase, a psychotic, a terrorist and drug baron.

  • Off The Cliff
    The petition is about allowing the Bush Tax Cuts expire at the end of the year and let the government "Go Off The Cliff." By doing that all the Bush cuts will end including the cuts for the 1% of extremely wealthy Americans. Then when the congress again brings up cutting the taxes for the 99% at the beginning of 2013 it will not be a raising of taxes and will render Grover Norquists 'contract to never raise taxes' null and void thus releasing Republicans who signed it from that obligation. "Off the Cliff" would actually only be a small bump in the road.

  • Gun control laws
    It's about time this country embraces gun control laws. I'm sick and tired of seeing too many young people (usually minorities) dying senselessly in the streets victims of gun violence. I urge President Obama to do something more than paying his respects to the families affected by this latest tragedy.

  • Our Lively Hood Petition
    My petition is to enforce more strict gun laws, background checks and criminal sentencing, for people who unlawfully kill others with guns. This has affected me because, my cousin, Alicia Newman, was shot and killed in the parking lot of a nite club. Shot, by a stray bullelt, while running to her car. Leaving behind, two little girls. It also affects my life,along with countless others who see and hear about these ujustified and senseless murders daily.
