Pimps on this website trying to pimp off girls younger than 12 and backpage.com is suppose to be a place where kids can talk about homework etc... Well I know what's it all about by going undercover and pretending and boy the responses that I have. I am a 55 year old grandmother and this is disgusting

at 20 years old i owe the government $50,000 because i wanted to attend pastry school. education in new york state should be paid for for residents. other states don't make their residents pay thousands to further their education! my older sister wants to get a culinary degree at a community college. she can't afford the tuition though, and she was only granted financial aid for one semester. when she applied again for the second semester, they denied her because six years ago she had to drop some classes at community college so she could work. they stopped her financial aid then because she was only going part time and denied her again this year because of that incident. i find this completely unfair. my sister works at wal-mart, and i've graduated from pastry school. something needs to change. education should be free! i think more teens would stay in high school because they could go on to college knowing they don't have to worry about loans or debt. kids will finally ne able to be whatever they want to be, just like they tell us in kindergarten. please sign this petition and help get my message out there! thank you!!

Impunity for crimes they committed exists in perpetuity unless they are prosecuted. The rule of law is moot. From starting a war of agression to torture to illegal wiretaping, the Bush team's mass illegality goes unprosecuted.

Whole Foods sits on the Organic Standards Board which regulates what is allowed in USDA certified organic foods. Whole Foods time and time again votes with Big Food, companies like Kellogg and General Mills that own organic food lines, to allow non organic ingredients in certified organic foods. According to the New York Times, Whole Foods voted in favor of adding ammonium nonanoate, a herbicide, to organic foods. Partially because of Whole Foods, there are now 250 non organic ingredients allowed in organic food. Tell Whole Foods, one of the biggest players in organics, to stand up for real organic food like Eden does and stop aligning with Big Food to allow toxic substances in organic food that jepordize our health simply to maximize it's already huge profits.

In Colorado City, Arizona someone half-buried a kitten alive in concrete (see: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/09/cat-buried-in-concrete-colorado-city-az_n_1660320.html). Despite efforts to free the kitten, it died a few days after being removed from the concrete. The local sheriffs refuse to investigate the crime. We would like to see this crime investigated and the guilty parties punished to the full extent of the law.

I retired from the State of Illinois SURS pension system November 1, 2010, basing my benefits on a specific monetary amount, including the benefit of no-cost health insurance. On June 27, 2012, Governor Quinn signed HB1313, taking effect July 1, 2012, requiring some 78,000 state retirees to pay a portion of the premiums which Public Act 90-0065 of the 90th General Assembly states will be provided by the State of Illinois.

The safety of Police and Border patrol agents, as well as the entire nation is in grave danger from terrorists and drug cartels and the Federal Government and the Supreme Court are more concerned about political correctness, and offending people. Force them to do their jobs.

Grover Norquist has asked Republicans to sign a pledge to not raise taxes no matter what. This has brought the country to a standstill. I want every Representative and Senator to sign the pledge below to commit to putting the health, education, and wellness of the children living in the USA first among their priorities. My petition is asking people to send this pledge to their Representatives and Senators.

Emancipation Proclamation Day Why have we not pushed for the day the Emancipation Proclamation (January 1, 1863) to become a national holiday? Every other nation that has gained their freedom have made that day a national day of celebration.

The day slaves became free. Lets let Congress and the President know that we want this day January 1st as a National Holiday (Parades and all) Showing that all Americans are free. free.

The one time single use of plastic bags is detrimental to our environment, wildlife, ocean and, therefore, ourselves. According to The Wall Street Journal, the U.S. goes through 100 billion plastic shopping bags annually. If we can encourage shoppers to buy reusable bags, we can protect the environment, reduce waste, as well as protect the animals of the ocean.
