RWSA, Do Not Use Chloramines in Our Drinking WaterCitizens in 7 states are fighting the use of chloramine compounds as disinfectants. They have been shown to leach large amounts of lead and copper from piping, causing dangerously high levels in drinking water. Chloramine byproducts are carcinogenic, and have been associated with numerous health problems. Chloramine byproducts are also a danger to the aquatic environment, from drinking water releases.1,472 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Galen Staengl

Reform Prop 13Prop 13 is broken and has been starving our state of desperately needed revenues unfairly. Proposition 13 has done a great job to protect the elderly etc from being forced from their homes by skyrocketing property taxes, but most people don't know that it disproportionately favors corporations. The majority of our property taxes used to come from business property, but now it comes from residential property. This must stop.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sean Donal Sullivan

Allow Same-Sex Couples to Adopt within the 'Every Child Deserves a Family Act'Thousands of children lack a quality, and safe home because there is a shortage of qualified individuals who are willing to adopt or foster a child. Studies show that foster children have a below average level of education, compared to children who are placed in a permanent home. Academic performance is associated with low socioeconomic status and a low employment rate. In addition, children who experience placement disruptions are likely to suffer from negative employment, mental health, and education outcomes. As of 2007, only 4% of adopted children are raised by a gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered couple. However, according to a report, conducted by the William Institute, an additional 2 million LGBT couples are interested in adopting. The 'Every Child Deserves a Family Act' would prohibit any adoption agency from discriminating against potential adoptive parents based on sexual orientation or gender identity. However, what this act does not provide is the recognition of same-sex marriages and the legality of adoption. Currently, Kansas allows for same-sex couples to adopt, but will only recognize one parent as the legal guardian. Recognition of joint adoption protects the child and parents through: parents’ health benefits, social security, child support entitlement, legal ground to consent to medical care, education, as well as establishing parent and child permanency. *Thank you for continuing to advocate for basic human rights, Maggie Chiu, LSCSW725,453 of 800,000 SignaturesCreated by University of Kansas, School of Social Welfare, SW 621

Equal Opportunities for Driver Education Equal Safer Roads: Support HB 1440!HB 1440, New Hampshire’s 2012 Driver Education Bill, would provide an affordable online driver education option, with parent provided behind-the-wheel training, for teenagers. Many teenagers wait until age 18 to get their driver’s license, when they don’t have to take a driver ed course, because they can't afford the high cost of driving school tuition. HB 1440 would give all NH teenagers an equal opportunity to be educated in this important area.386 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Jacqueline Roland

Why do we support injustice? Fund UNESCO!Due to Unesco admitting Palestine into its Organization, the U.S. has cut off funding.
