Prevent BSL Against Service PitbullsBSL (Breed Specific Legislation) prevents dog owners from owning certain breeds determined dangerous or aggressive. Under this category is the Pitbull, who does not deserve this absurd banishment. Pitbulls are proven to have good temperaments as well as the abilities to become service animals for the mentally and physically handicapped. This petition goal is to prevent Pitbulls that are registered as service animals from being effected by the BSL laws.111 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Paige Murray

END DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME IN OHIO!It is time to end the practice of changing our clocks twice a year. Because we are so far west in the Eastern Time Zone, we have plenty of daylight without having to move our clocks forward every March. Further, research has proven Daylight Saving Time can cause illness due to missed medications, some of which can even lead to death. Research has also shown the observance of Daylight Saving Time actually uses more energy and costs more money than just leaving the clocks alone. It also is disruptive to children, who have to wait in darkness each time we change the clocks. It is time to stop observing this silly practice that causes more problems than solutions.1,388 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Barak Ben-Tor

North Omaha Community Reinvestment & Barter SystemThroughout its history, North Omaha has launched the dreams of many people. Yet, the instances of dreams launched and fulfilled have been too infrequent for too many people. For much of its history, North Omaha has suffered from disinvestment and a scarcity of hope. Racism, despair and distrust have turned dreams to nightmares at different times in the community’s history. As a result, North Omaha’s unemployment rate is substantially higher than that of the rest of the city. Over 1 in 4 AfricanAmerican members of the workforceare unemployed.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Shanelle Williams

KEEP KIDS SAFE ACT!GOAL - 1 MILLION + PEOPLE!! My name is Josh Evans. I live in Springfield, Missouri. I feel that we need to improve the ways schools and families handle their kids. I believe that schools SHOULD NOT let the kids out of the building, unless a parent or legal guardian is there waiting for them. My thought is that if parents or guardians pick up their child, a faculty member stands outside and one by one dispatches a child to exit the building. If every school in the U.S. did that, children and students would be so much safer. I'm just wanting to get this out to government, and have them MAKE A STAND and KEEP OUR KIDS SAFE. That's why I started this page, the KEEP KIDS SAFE ACT, because I want to keep kids safe and away from predators and sex offenders. This page isn't just for elementary school students -- it's for EVERY CHILD WHO IS A STUDENT -- Preschool, elementary school, middle school, & high school. Please "LIKE" this page and let's get the word out.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Josh Evans
