As one of the largest universities in the state and an advocate for energy sustainability, VCU must do everything in its power to encourage clean, renewable energy projects in Virginia. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation, our university is located in the asthma capital of the country -- for two years running. Virginia Beach lands a number eight spot. One of the main reasons is due to poor air quality. VCU has a great opportunity to play a role in changing this by achieving the university's stated goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. Dominion Virginia Power is VCU's sole provider of electricity and VCU cannot "go green" without a shift from Dominion towards clean, renewable energy. Our main goal is to get students across the state to sign on in support of this movement. However, any support we can generate throughout the state will help our overall cause so please, if you sign this petition, clarify whether or not you are associated with VCU.

Tell the FDA that this is a no brainer. Access to Narcan over-the-counter will save lives and will provide needed relief in cases of accidental overdoses.

Make corporations post their opinions and sentiments and emails online! More companies are reviewing Facebook accounts and asking their employees for passwords. Social media- like Facebook and twitter allow us to express our feelings and emotions...rather than harbor them and then act out violently! I am asking you all to sign this petition to let everyone know, that we all deserve privacy and the right to voice our opinions without fear of reprisal even though we may not share the same sentiments and opinions! Make it illegal for companies to use Facebook opinions expressed by employees and stop them from asking for facebook passwords.

Hemp is an incredible versatile plant with a plethora of uses including rope, high quality paper, food products, and clothing. As an excellent alternative to cotton and timber, it can easily be grown by farmers anywhere, with a very low environmental impact. Yet, due to smear campaigns and lobbyists of the timber industry in the past, hemp is currently treated as its THC-rich cousin, marijuana, and cannot legally be grown in the United States without a nearly impossible to obtain permit from the DEA-- despite not being a drug. With its incredible potential benefits to the environment, farmers, and the people, the need for hemp legalization is strong. It's time to end the madness, and end hemp prohibition.

We need to reform campaign finance in America so our politicians are not controlled by corporations and wealthy interest groups. This is the only way to free our politicians and allow them to govern based on their moral, ethical and intellectual conscious and not by the demands of those who paid to put the politician in office for the advancement of their own greedy needs and wants.

The current race for Los Angeles mayor is set to be the most expensive in our city's history. And, believe it or not, just last month the City Ethics Commission voted to raise campaign contribution limits even further. This decision - like that of the U.S. Supreme Court in "Citizens United" - is an insult to the 99%, and has put this Great City's very democracy on the chopping block. We're calling on all candidates for Los Angeles Mayor to commit to establishing citywide elections that are clean, fair, and open to all Angelinos regardless of wealth!

Repeal of Taft-Hartley is about bringing democracy to the work place. Workers would be allowed to join a Union of their choosing without interference from management. A simple up or down vote to be held within 60 days of a majority of the workforce signing cards to join a Union.

Senate Bill 2109 Seeks to Extinguish Navajo and Hopi Water Rights - Say No to SB 2109 HR Bill 4067 and the further raping of Native American rights.

When a Supreme Court judge leans to far right or left politically it hurts all citizens of our country. We have in the past seen the extremely elderly judge sleeping instead of listening to very important issues, refusing to retire when he no longer should be sitting on the bench. Judge Roberts, himself, at one time believed no judge should have a life time position as a Supreme Court Justice. That of course was before he became one himself and now the right wing leaning Roberts changed his mind since he is one and now believes it should be a lifetime position. No job other than this one comes with a lifetime guarantee, and niether should this one. In order to keep our country fair and our constitution safe we must occasionally clean house. When a judge asks if he is expected to read the many paged Obamacare health plan we have a problem. When a judge refers to the 'Healthcare for all" as 'Obamacare,' doesn't want to read it ,how can we rely on these judges not to be biased? No job should automatically be a lifetime position and certainly not one that affects all Americans as does the position of a Supreme Court Judge.
