• Cherokee County School District, Canton, GA
    What measures are being taken by the School Superintendent to keep "Pink Slime" out of our student/staff hamburger and Mexican meals that are served weekly in our schools' lunch meals? DO NOT serve any ground beef until parents are informed and provided documents that reveal the source of the meat. Nutbutter and jelly sandwiches should be served until such time.

    The Compassionate Assistance for Rape Emergencies Act (SB 283/HB 419) and The Act for Our Children’s Future (SB 232/HB 338) are two common sense initiatives to prevent unintended pregnancy and infections in our state population; thereby saving taxpayer money, preventing the need for abortion, and making our future generation healthier all around.

  • We request Major Breznicki be allowed to prove his innocence.
    Let no one be discouraged by the belief there is nothing one man or one woman can do against the enormous array of the world's ills - against misery and ignorance, injustice and violence... Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation... It is from the numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centres of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.

  • Allow the Affordable Care Act in Indiana
    The Governor and state legislature of Indiana are trying to prevent access to the Affordable Care Act. They are denying the State of Indiana an opportunity to become a healthier and more productive state by preventing access to this health care plan. This is just one example of many coordinated attacks by our State Government on Indiana’s middle class!

  • Extend Louisiana Child Support Laws for Children with Severe and Profound Disabilities Past the A...
    Current Louisiana child support law terminates at age 22 for children with disabilities. As a result too many custodial parents of adult children with severe and profound disabilities are faced with the daily challenges of raising their child on their own, i.e., 100% of their financial, physical, and emotional care frequently becomes the sole responsibility of the custodial parents for the rest of their lives, while the noncustodial parent refuses to provide support even though they are very capable of doing so. This is not fair to either the adult child with severe and profound disabilities or their custodial parent! Governor Jindal and the Louisiana legislature has the chance to change this. We're calling on them to standup for and protect the well-being of adult children with severe and profound disabilities and stop the unfair responsibility put on their custodial parents.

  • Cal Boro Cops: Unjust Actions
    I have started this petition to bring to light all of the unnecessary actions that the Cal boro cops have taken towards "US" the students; from beating and tazing students multiple times, to handing out fines like candy. A situation happened on 3/6/12 when a student was tazed four times and was also beaten. When a fellow student tried to record a cop quickly shot one last tazer before anyone could begin a recording. This is not the first incident of this situation and it wont be the last until someone speaks up. I myself have been unjustly treated. I felt that I was just only one person who couldn't do a thing; but I learned it only takes one "If one can chase 1,000 to flight, then two can put 10,000 to flight" I would like for those of you who feel strongly about this to sign and even give a brief description of your own experience if your willing to share. Once I have enough I will send the petition to VP Bob Thorn. He has already been notified and he is down for the cause, BUT he states that we need more people to speak up if you want something to be done of the situation.

  • Stop The Real War on Women in America
    Did you know the Federal Preventive Services Task Force, under this Obama administration, has issued new guidelines recommending that women in their 40s no longer have annual mammograms and that women ages 50 to 74 have them only every other year, instead of annually? Used to be Federal guidelines were just that, final decisions between doctor and patient. Well, under ObamaCare, that will no longer be the case, you will be FORCED to adhere to these life threatening directives. Most doctors agree, these cost cutting measures will be at the expense of women's lives. Did you know the FDA under this administration, as of Nov. 2011, has revoked the very promising use of Avastin for breast cancer? Yet another cost saving measure referred to by some as, "a death sentence" for some breast cancer victims. Do you believe, for a single minute, if ANY of the "political elite" have need for these life saving measures, they will be denied as would be the case for you, me, or one of our loved ones? These are the REAL battles, the geniune War On Women being conducted in America today...not who will pay for condoms or birth control pills. Please sign this petition and REMEMBER THESE issues come next November.
