  • Stop Taking Our Property
    We must stop Wall Street and Banks from taking our homes. Write down all Underwater mortgages to current market value, reduce the interest rate and provide us with fixed monthly payments. Families are being torn apart, children and seniors are suffering. People are dying and Banks are slow to respond if they respond at all.

  • Require the gas and coal industry to observe the Clean Water Act
    Between the fracking of shale gas wells and mountain top removal, the gas and coal industries have been given a pass on the CWA (Clean Water Act). We should require the gas and coal industries to observe the CWA. Why should they be able to do the very same things that would put you or me in prison? Water will be the most valuable resource of the 21st century, and these industries our fouling our water in ways that will be permanent on a human scale.

  • Save Douglass Academy Now
    "We want education!" This is why 50 high school students of Douglass Academy were suspended, after walking out of their classes to protest the situation that the all-boys school is in. The lack of consistent teachers and principle has resulted in the students passing time in the gym, library, or cafeteria with nothing to do. Signing this petition will make sure that the education system will not fail students in the future.

  • Repeal Changes to the Texas Open Beaches Act
    Repeal the recent ruling in changing The Texas Open Beaches Act. Allow the general public access to ALL beaches along ANYshoreline. The Texas Supreme Court has dismissed a 180-year-old custom of public enjoyment of Texas beaches as "unsupported by historic jurisprudence" and "a limitation on private property rights." All shore bound recreational fishermen/women and ALL beach going public that use beaches that happen to be in front of a beach house along the shoreline now can't use the beach with their families or friends because of this ruling in favor of landowners.

  • Stop the banning for feeding the homeless!
    If this is the City of brotherly Love, why shouldn't the homeless be fed? Where is compassion for the down hearted people!

Some of the decision you make for Philadelphia is not in alignment with Britherly Love!

  • NO Kill at Will
    Trayvon Martin, the Florida teenager who was killed while walking home in his hoodie, is dead because someone who felt threatened by him took his life. George Zimmerman, Trayvon's killer, still hasn't even been arrested for the shooting. Why? Because Florida is a Kill at Will state. Astonishingly, Florida law broadensthe definition of justifiable homicide by granting people the right to use deadly force if they feel threatened. Thisextreme expansion of the right to kill, despite being fought by law enforcement officials, has occurred in 24 states. Right now, the legislature in Nebraska is considering following Florida's lead and becoming a Kill at Will state.If enough of their constituents speak out against Kill at Will, it can be stopped. Because of the negative attention theTrayvon Martin tragedy is bringing to these laws, elected officials and the media debating the legislation won't be able to ignore loud public pressure to keep Nebraska from becoming a Kill at Will state. These Kill at Will laws make us and our children all less safe. And they are a special danger to young people of color like Trayvon Martin, who may fall under "suspicion" from armed vigilantes simply by being young, black, and wearing a hoodie. Stand up for the next Trayvon by signing this petition, telling our Nebraska Government that we will not stand for a tragedy like that in our state.

  • Remove S.2109 from consideration
    Senators Jon Kyl and John McCain are trying to make the Navajo and Hopi Nations forfeit their water rights. They seek to take the water that the Navajo and Hopi people need to drink, farm, raise livestock, and maintain some economic independence, and give it to large energy corporations. We need to let the Senate know that this is deeply wrong, and that they do not have the people's support in this.
