Ramrodding legislation through committeesJindal has strategically started this legislative session with issues that he knows will have low public participation from the target audience because of their jobs as teachers, state employees, other members of the schools or state retirement systems. These are all median to low wage earners. He has stacked all the committees with his appointees and made sure that there is no deviation to his republican ideological plan. There is no "for the people" in this man's mind yet he cloaks it in "for the children". How diabolical!7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Beverly Barry

Mr. President, Please helpPeople are dying because our laws allow someone to abuse drugs/ alcohol without an mandatory rehab intervention. I want to see a law passed that will require a person who has 3 documented hospital/ jail visits related to alcohol and or drug abuse to complete a 28 day rehab program. My Mother just passed away after being in ICU 5 times, where alcohol abuse was brought to their attention, since Oct 2011, I was told by a case manager that my Mom had the right to drink her self to death! Well she did just that, and I pleaded and pleaded with these hospitals to help her but each time she was able to walk out. Doctors said that she was of sound mind and was able to make her own decisions. I agree, but you cant be of sound mind drinking your self to death. She died 3/13/2012.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Summer

Restore Mr. Thom Duncan's ReputationMr. Thom Duncan, of Huntington North High School, was fired by the Huntington County School Board on March 12, 2012. He was accused of "bullying" a student. This act of "bullying" involved throwing a cut tennis ball at a student because they were sleeping in class. This was Mr. Duncan's first offense and instead of an incident report being filed he was suspended in the month of December 2011 and then had his contract terminated in March. This petition is for those who are in favor of restoring Mr. Thom Duncan's reputation so that he may either continue his employment at HNHS or seek it elsewhere without false allegations of "bullying".405 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Zack Kaylor
