• Civil Rights Office in North Carolina Public Official Accountability
    Private US citizens of NC currently do not have an office to submit a grievance letter to for due process to report racial discrimination or misconduct of public officials, because there is no state office to investigate public officials misconduct , these private citizens will have to pay a lawyer to navigate the state Court of Appeals. Many can’t afford a lawyer and never receive justice. A state civil rights office will give all a fair chance at justice. Currently many families and children have been targets of racial discrimination and hate crimes. Please watch our video of the Student with No Hope. Take action with your signature and help us stop the HATE.

  • Frack Sand Mining Health Safety Standards
    A large number of oil companies are moving into MN to begin digging silica sand. This sand is used as a part of the fracking process. MN has a large amount of this sand that is at or close to the surface. Much of these deposits are found along the MN River as well as the Cannon & the MIssissippi Rivers. The problem with this sand is the dust. It is extremely fine & can carry for long distances & is a carcinogen. It causes a disease called Scilicosis(similar to Mesothelioma). Anyone who lives with a few miles of a mine has an extremely high chance of developeing this lung disease. Right now rural counties who have no one qualified to deal with this are being overrun with permit requests. This needs to be handled on a statewide basis. Also these are open pit, involving blasting & haevy truck traffic. One mine is Wisconsin has 550 truck trips a day. Unless we want to turn S.E. MN into West Virgini, WE NEED TO ACT NOW

  • Start fighting the WAR at home!!
    For years, our country fight wars with other countries. Us americans know, we have an ongoing war right here in the United States of America. People dying, shot down by another and no action was taken because of his parents. The government is not working hard enough. Where are the jobs?? Where are the better schools and teachers?? Better doctors and lawyers?? Why is Ray Kelly still a police comissioner after all the innocent killing done by the NYPD? Why is it hard to afford living in NYC, but I can drive 2 hours away and pay $500-$750 for a two bedroom?? Why can't the government fight the war on their own home front?? Why must we pay for your wars?? I care about what's going on where I live!! Sign this petition if you believe the our government should take care of our issues first, before they fix another. Hospitals are closing, schools. Kids are killing each other, we need more after school programs. Too many firearms on the street. Too many homelessness. Fix home first! Our government has the power, time and energy, where is the effort? America. United we stand & divided we shall never fall! Portia Walker 03/27/2012 12:49pm

  • Bring Single Payer Health Care to New York State
    Living in New York is expensive and more employers are buying health insurance that has much more limited coverage. Even big unions are doing this--AND getting exceptions approved to not cover important things. If we had single-payer health care, we would not have to worry about these things. It would be like Medicare for All.

  • Rescind the Mandated CTE Graduation Requirements
    SDUSD approved an initiative mandating all students to take 2 years of Career Technical Education (CTE) courses in the same subject in order to graduate. We want the Board of Trustees to rescind this new requirement for the following reasons: • The CTE graduation requirement was voted by the Board without a full analysis of the impact of implementation, possible shortcomings, and without alignment of CTE courses offered with UC’s and CSU’s. • The CTE requirement is being implemented without notifying parents of affected students until after it is too late for them to take World Languages in middle school, so they are already behind schedule. • It’s inequitable. It’s impossible to offer all the CTE courses at all the schools, and the district does not offer transportation for students whose career plan would benefit from a CTE course offered at a different school. • Forcing a two-year CTE requirement in conjunction with new “a-g” graduation requirements severely curtails or eliminates space for any electives (including in 7th and 8th grade, when they must take a world language), particularly electives that showcase leadership skills that colleges covet, such as ASB, yearbook, etc. • Intervention programs for “a-g” requirements and D and F grades have not been well developed and may necessitate additional course time, but with the CTE requirement, there will be no time in a student’s schedule to implement them. • The 2-year CTE requirement forces students to choose a career pathway at a minimum of age 16, with no opportunity to change their minds. • CTE courses dampen down GPA. Because none are weighted with a 5.0 grade point, they effectively “drag down” a student’s GPA compared to those courses with more rigor, such as AP and Honors. • CTE courses reduce academic rigor. Students applying to college with CTE courses will appear to have had less rigorous academics and be viewed poorly relative to students from other districts without CTE requirements. • Community colleges already offer career courses students beginning at age 15. • High school students transferring into SDUSD (e.g. military families) won’t be able to fulfill these requirements as no other district has these mandates.
