Washtenaw County Parks & Recreation Commission: please open the rec building to nude recreation.The county parks dept. is formed to provide recreation not readily available in the community; there are no public nude beaches in Michigan and no private nudist resorts in the county. The police charge skinnydippers with "disturbing the peace" even without a citizen's complaint. The county's recreation building is closed on Saturday nights. We ask that the recreation building be opened to nude recreation on Saturday nights.34 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Matthew Kerwin

Petition to Buy Chemical-Free Mattresses Without a Medical PrescriptionIn the United States, it is currently law that commercially manufactured mattresses contain chemical fire retardants. Standard chemicals include (but are not limited to): 1) Antimony, a known toxin most similar to lead and arsenic, 2) Boric Acid, a roach killer and known poison to humans, and 3) DBDPO, a flame retardant with unknown effects in humans, but evidence to suggest possible liver, thyroid, reproductive/developmental, and neurological effects. In one study, it was determined that each night spent sleeping on these mattresses, we absorb on average .802mg of Antimony, .081 Boric Acid, .073 DBDPO. These amounts have been shown in infants (using crib mattresses) to adults. *THESE LEVELS OFTEN EXCEED EPA SAFETY STANDARDS* Moreover, according to our laws, in order to purchase a mattress without these toxic chemicals you must obtain a prescription from your doctor. This law hurts consumers and small businesses, making these chemical free mattresses pricey, hard to obtain, unsafe, and environmentally damaging. Please consider signing this petition and send a message to our lawmakers for the right to individually choose a mattress with or without chemicals.61 of 100 SignaturesCreated by patricia zornio

BUBBLE-UP ECONOMIC POLICYThe petition is about bubble-up economics, funding those at the bottom - from which the top will also prosper. While this may cost roughly $1 trillion, it will funnel money to those who need it the most and are most likely to spend it, resulting in a relatively high multiplier, higher earnings, and higher tax revenues, reducing the net deficit.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ken Friedman

SAVE OUR PRECIOUS COLORADO ENVIRONMENTPlease stop fracking in Colorado. This process does untold harm to our environment. It does not solve the energy problems in America. Unfortunately, the more we get the more we use. We must look to other sources for energy and learn to conserve. Colorado needs to set an example for the nation.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joe Ann Peters

Public Service PayInsuring that those that protect our freedom of government are monitarily honored properly. Due to recent budget cuts it only makes sense that public servants such as but not limited to any political position have severe monitary regulations. As we do not want to be seen as a socialistic government, our government should not be allowed to participate in seemingly socailist practices. Congressmen and Senators should only be paid salary and recieve medical benifits becoming of a state or national employee while in office. If their constituants do not feel they have performed their job duties well enough to be reelected, they should loose there pay just as all people who loose a job do.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by sheila hoselton

Reject the student success task force recommendationsThe task force recommendations, which are opposed by students and educators, will reduce access to education, funnel students into select educational tracks, and force students into higher student loan debt. Task force funding is supplied by organizations who will benefit from increased student loans and increased use of technology.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by briahn kelly-brennan

Plain English, PleaseOrdinary people should be able to read and comprehend all legal and governmental documents. These documents have, over the years, evolved into an abstruse foreign language which generates reams of paperwork and requires the services of an expensive translator ( a lawyer, for example). I would like to see some plain English.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Karen Healey
