Medical Treatment-Only for Some AmericansImagine yourself terrified, all alone, feeling ill and not knowing why. Cast away from one hospital, then another, on to another where your uncertainty and fear leads you to demand that you be treated like a human being. That the institution that is supposed to assist persons who are ill assist you with determining the source of your illness. Unfamiliar with the process(es) that you are subjegated too, yet knowing that your pain continues and something is wrong. Being told to leave despite the fact that the pain continues. Your continued protest despite the fact that you are being wheeled out in handcuffs. Thrown into a cell despite your protests because you are in pain and are terrified. You are sick and you don't know why. The excrutiating pain caused by the arrival of the blood clots to your lungs. As you lay dying the disbelief that washes over you. You are in the care of the authories. The persons who are supposed to be responsibile for your safety and well being. Aren't they all trained professionals? Haven't they all taken one oath or another? You are crying because you know that you are probably dying. You will never see your children again and no one gives a damn. This would have been your thoughts had you been Anna Brown.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Eddie Bryant

Maine (Doesn't) CareThis petition is about Chronic Pain Sufferers, the elderly and the disabled in the State of Maine. These are the "disenfranchised" citizens of this once-great State who are systematically being thrown to the curb... who, in a sense, and with this law, are being "Euthanized" on the installment plan, as it were.33 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bob Bailey

My yoga studio is not a gym!The city has moved to categorize yoga studios as fitness centers and not movement spaces, which requires costly new permits and licensing fees which are grossly inappropriate for businesses of this scale.1,467 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Nikki Vilella

Help Keep Your Yoga Teacher IndependentThe state of NY has proposed that all yoga teachers be classified as W-2 emplyees rather than Independent Contractors. This reclassification would cost each studio so much money in workers compensation and payroll tax that the existence of many studios would be threatened.1,476 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Nikki Vilella

Help Keep Your Yoga Studio BalancedThere is a huge push against yoga studios as a source of taxation and funding at both the city and state level. An increasing number of studios are facing legal investigation for violating these new and poorly understood government regulations.This has meant burdensome lawyers fees, penalties, back-tax bills and other administrative costs which are threatening the vitality of many studios in our city. We are calling upon our local officials to not impose this service tax and to stop all audits demanding years of back taxes.1,340 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Nikki Vilella

Consecutive governors have vetoed these bills, and Jerry Brown has vowed to do the same.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Christine Lee
