Freedom's administration is attempting to change our block schedule back into an eight period a day schedule. Currently, it is an issue with teachers on one side and the administration on the other. However, the overall focus should be on the students and what benefits them! This petition is to show that the students do not agree with this and want their opinions heard. Please sign to show your support in favor of the block schedule and also share your opinions in the comments.

We need to know what is in our food

FEMA-HURRICANE KATRINA trailers are loaded with mold and formaldahyde. These toxins are carcinogenic to humans. People are sick and have died from living in them. Sellers are selling the trailers without giving the information of health risks. Families are being left in despair!

Brainwriting is so useful. But when we go to rate everyone's ideas, there are so many that are the same, and so it would be so great to be able to combine them!

Pennsylvania has joined the list of states that are attacking women's reproductive freedom of choice. We must take action to turn back these unwarranted attacks.

There are too many school districts in Pennsylvania. Each of the districts in Pennsylvania has a Superintendent and Assistant Superintendant who, typically, earn six-figure salaries. On top of this, many districts pay retired administrators to act as consultants in district matters. The amount of money that is wasted on these administrative salaries could be put to much better use.

I would like to start a petition for parents who are primary care givers to minor children. I feel that if the absent parent never pays child support, or is not in any contact with the minor child that the primary care giver should be given full custody over the child. In my situation my daughters father walked out when she was 2 years old, she is now almost 11, he walked out, never pays child support, has had a warrant for non-payment for 3 years now,.he also has not tried to contact either of us to even check on her. I wanted to change her last name to mine and the courts told me that I needed the father's permission. I was shocked. How can a person who has absolutely No hand in raising or taking care of the child be the person I need permission from? I was also told by that court that because the fathers name was on the birth certificate that he could come and pick her up right out of my front yard without my permission and that if I called the police there would be nothing they could do because he is her father. That is a scary thing for any parent to think about. The law needs to be changed, if you are a dead beat/absent parent then you should not have any so say regarding the child.

Simple: If drugs/paraphernalia products are illegal then why allow stores to move in and setup a crime institution right in the middle of our community ? If a person wants to buy or sell drug paraphernalia that's thier business but it makes it our problem. If selling drug paraphernalia is going to be deemed legal then we need to leagalize the drugs. Please sign this petition to ask the City of Aurora to ban selling of drug paraphernalia in our communities.

We have the write to know what is in our food.

Commit to vote on April 3, 2012 for C. Anthony Muse. It is time for a change in Maryland politics. Politics are local and we need someone who is in touch with all of Maryland. We need a voice for the voiceless. There needs to representation for all communities.

SB9 is a Bill that questions whether or not Juveniles should be given life sentences. I have a younger brother who was sentenced to life in prison at age 16, for a crime he was persuaded to be a part of by an ADULT. This very adult turned "states evidence" against my little brother, and got completely off, while my brother got life in prison. To me, a life sentence is very much life a death sentence. This incident was my brothers 1ST and ONLY involvement in any crime in his young life, but the rest of his life was taken away from him with no opportunity to learn his lesson and rejoin society to prove his rehabilitation. In all the history of judgments passed down on criminals, we have seen MANY GROWN MEN with extensive criminal history, who have even committed MURDER get released by into society....why shouldn't a CHILD be afforded the same opportunities in life?

Due to the debilitating nature of the disease, particularly in its chronic form, people are often forced into long periods of leave from work or school; causing financial burdens on Lyme victims, their employers, and taxpayers. Because the disease becomes harder to treat the longer it is allowed to progress, more effective diagnosis will yield shorter treatment times, and lower costs to all involved parties. It is our hope that the creation of a Task Force in New York State will result in significant progress in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of Lyme and other tick-borne diseases.
