To get people together in Savannah, GA and have a rally and/or march to raise awarness within this city.

This petition is about forgiving existing student loans, keeping college within reach without burying the next generation of educated members of our workforce under mountains of debt. A college education should be a right to everyone not only the privilaged and should never be a tool to make a profit off the less fortunate members of society who are attempting to better their lives through education

Many working class families in NYC as well as NYS are employed in jobs that only pay minimum wage. Some of these families are headed by single women with dependent children. For many such families this one paycheck must be stretch a number of ways to cover just the basic needs ie housing, food and clothing. Due to the current state of the economy, many social programs have cut in the state and federal budgets.

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.

We have a large deficit and the rich are not paying their fair share.

Throughout 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.

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.

The people of Iran are suffering from run away inflationdue to the embargo that the U.S. and Israel have been persuading countries throughout the world to adopt. This is no way to win the hearts of the Iranian people over. We are calling on national leaders to disarm the nuclear capabilities of Israel, India, Pakistan, Turkey, and Kazakhstan as a true path to peace in the Middle East.

Federal employees are depending and have paid into their retirement benefits for most of their careers, pension should not be taken from them!

Working families across New York State need the security of paid time off to care for a new child or seriously ill family member. For too many workers, the birth of a child or family health emergency creates a crisis that forces them to lose needed income or exit the workforce altogether. Low-income workers and their families are especially vulnerable because they often lack the financial resources to take any unpaid time off at all. Paid family leave improves the health of our families. It helps workers, especially new mothers, stay in the workforce after childbirth and helps close the wage gap. And businesses benefit by having more productive workers and reduced turnover. The federal Family and Medical Leave Act is unpaid and excludes more than 40% of all workers. The Paid Family Leave Insurance Act for New York State would provide workers with partial payment of their salary for up to 12 weeks to bond with a new child, care for a seriously ill family member, or address certain issues arising from a family member’s military service. Employers would not bear the cost of this benefit. Instead, paid family leave insurance benefits would be funded by employees through small paycheck contributions. Working families in New York deserve better. It’s time for Governor Cuomo to follow in California’s, New Jersey’s, and Rhode Island's footsteps and make paid family leave a priority now!
