Don't Take Our ParkingThe municipal lot on 900 block of Ellsworth street has been taken over by our city council , and being used for a private developer to make more houses . = less parking . They never made an environment impact report about how this would effect the people living around there or the businesses in the immediate area. they named the project the "Saint Maron's" to trick the neighbors into thinking it was for the local church.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by anonnymous

Save the MBTAMy name is Doug. I will soon become a grandfather. My grand-daughter will be growing up in Springfield. I want her to be proud she lives in a state that values public transportation. I commute by bicycle year round in Boston and Cambridge and use the T to get to the airport and around Boston when the conditions are bad for cycling. My wife and I drive about 12,000 miles yearly, including visiting our daughter in Springfield, parents in Needham and Lexington, to Vermont and the Adirondacks. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) is crucial to my family's quality of life. My son and daughter-in-law live in Cambridge, and because of the MBTA do not own a car. Boston is a vibrant place to live because of the T. The MBTA passed moderate fare increases and some service cuts for 2012, and expects dramatic fare increases and service cuts in future years without additional sources of funding. Thousands of public comments at MBTA meetings showed how cuts in service and fare increases would be a great hardship for many, including for my patients who rely on THE RIDE. Cuts in service and fare increases harm the economy, lower property values, clog the roads, and worsen greenhouse gas emissions. It has been 21 years since Massachusetts changed the gasoline tax, resulting in multi-billion dollar deficits in funding highway and public transportation infrastructure, and putting a strain on state funding for education and health care. A 25 cent increase would adequately fund the MBTA, address infrastructure needs, and begin to pay down the deficit The Massachusetts constitution allows gas tax revenue to fund mass transportation in addition to highways. There is no better way to maintain and improve highway and public transportation across the state than to raise the gas tax, not the fares. It is the right thing to do.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Douglas Johnson

Repeal Defense Of Marriage ActDOMA was put into place by Congress in 1996. The laws that are enforced by DOMA do not allow same sex couples to be legally married outside the seven states that support same sex marriage. It also doesnt allow their marriage to be recognized in other states. It also doesnt let joint taxes be filed and many other rights married couples have. By supporting the Respect for Marriage Act it will allow all marriages to be equal. All Americans deserve equality and supporting same sex marriage does not deminish anyone`s rights.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mrs. Melanie Russell
