The Ellenville Central School District is facing deep cuts to it's budget that will affect staffing, supplies, programs, sports, clubs and much more. Funding shortfalls that originate on the Federal and State levels are the start of an avalanche effect of destruction that will mark the beginning of the end of our school district. We must let Albany know that our children are more important than politics! State budget deadlines are looming, act now!

STOP Emmanuel's insane new gun law proposal! Only law-abiding gun owners will pay attention to it, and only law-abiding gun owners will be hurt. Tell Chicago to find another way to fight criminals! Making honest people suffer is NOT the way to win votes!

Oklahoma's proposed "personhood" bill

The Colorado House of Representatives is writing a First Degree Murder Bill of an Unborn Child sponsored by Representative Joshi. The language of the Bill uses the terminology of Unlawful Termination of A Pregnancy and is broadly written without any reference to the stage of the fetus whether at conception or at so called "quick". This law is an attempt to give "legal status" to a fetus. I'm calling on women of the State of Colorado to question this fetal homicide law. Should the State be enacting criminal laws to protect a fetus? Wasn't Roe v. Wade a decision to protect a women's right to choose. If we allow these laws to be passed by the General Assembly where do they end and to what purpose do they serve? To protect women or protect a fetus which has no legal rights?

An estimated 1 in 5 children in Iowa does not get enough food at home. Food banks have seen a 30-50% increase in demand. Support Senate File 2291, a bill introduced by Senator Jeff Danielson, D-Cedar Falls, that would help launch a $2 million program (0.03% of the state budget) to stock food banks when supplies run low.

To bring awareness and resolution to Dads being denied to be fathers to their child(ren) they love. Our hopes and prayers are that a legislative body (Federal or State) re-exam policies regarding calculation of child support, insuring custodial parent adheres to the visitation order, and reinforce the importance of Dad's involvement.

Civil rights should apply to all persons regardless of sexual orientation/status, etc. Idaho needs to value and respect and value all people.

I would like the State Legislature to include the Heart and Lung Act for Correctional Officers who work for the Department of Corrections. At this time they are not included and their jobs are just as critical as a Police Officer and Fireman duties. They put their lives on the line everyday and there is not provision in the Heart and Lung Act including them.

We the people have the right to know what is in our food. This petition is for mandatory labels on all food sources that contain genetically modified ingredients.

This petition is in support of smaller community owned and based wind and solar electrical generation, as opposed to large industrial corporate owned wind and solar electrical generation. If you favor retrofitting existing structures with solar and wind generation rather than altering ridge lines, animal habitat, water systems and more with large industrial solar and wind, this petition is for you.

Republicans have passed a bill In Iowa that literally makes it illegal to film farm animal abuse. This bill enables farm workers to mistreat their animals by granting farmers ridiculous privacy rights. Tell the Iowa lawmakers that farms need SURPRISE INSPECTIONS in order to keep animal abuse under control. ANY ABUSE, whether it be animals, children, the elderly etc....SHOULD NEVER BE ACCEPTABLE IN A CIVILIZED SOCIETY. If farmers or those who have animals have nothing to hide, then what are they afraid of?
