In spite of the Penn State/Second Mile sex-abuse scandal well within the public eye by now, it's baffling that there is no known federal investigation currently ongoing despite the involvement of local and even state authorities and legislators, as well as hard evidence pointing to trafficking minors across state lines. As its name suggests, this petition calls on U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to order a federal investigation into any and all activities tied to the scandal, as well as any and all individuals suspected of participating in those activities.

This Right to Work bill in Indiana is being pushed down our throats by the government of Indiana. We are oppsed to this bill and would like the billed killed or put to a public referendum.

The economy, environment & common people's time, city & suburbs alike, could all get a "win-win" ... if only CTA's Purple Line 'L' EXPRESS service, between Linden (in North Shore suburb Wilmette) & Downtown Chicago via Loop 'L' (presently operating Mon-Fri morning/evening "rush hours" only), gets EXTENDED to "FULL-TIME"!!! Commanding this would save so much time & money, plus a serious reduction in oil, traffic jams, road repair, auto accidents, etc., as it would encourage especially those with a time budget to drive less, use public transit more! Everybody, including CTA, would benefit in the long run, as people would most definitely take advantage of this option, if only it were simply offered!

Our mission is to give fathers a fighting chance to secure their rightful inclusion into the lives of their children even after divorce and/or separation from the child/children mother.

Ohio should have an amendment to our state constitution (similar to the one Wisconsin is using on Governor Scott Walker) that would allow us to remove an elected official. The principle underlying the recall of public officers has been defined as an effective speedy remedy to remove an official who is not giving satisfaction to the public and whom the electors do not want to remain in office, regardless of whether he is discharging his full duty to the best of his ability and as his conscience dictates.” Read more: http://host.madison.com/ct/news/opinion/column/sen-kathleen-vinehout-wisconsin-s-recall-law-exists-to-assure/article_d292ea6c-1e5f-5042-b2da-fd55c97eeb2a.html#ixzz1kDOdH2So

This international "trade agreement" has been being negotiated behind closed doors since 2006. First, it would supercede a country's own laws. In essence it is implementing itself above the democratic processes. Akin to SOPA and PIPA it would tragically impede the internet as we know it. Additionally, it would establish a worldwide reduction in civil rights. We need to act now. Please sign this petition to tell President Obama, Congress and Senate we do not want the USA to ratify ACTA.

This petition is aimed at saving Picnik online editing in its current form and availability.

While SOPA and PIPA appear to be defeated, there is still another bill to be afraid of. H.R. 1981 hides behind child pornography to excuse taking greater control of the internet and keeping logs far longer than they are required. The right to privacy extends to the internet.

Picnik is a brilliant editing application (website) for all levels, amateur, pro's and those who are just getting used to it all. This website is used by a vast number of people and there's no other app like it, which means having to use a download or other editing software that properly is a lot harder to use and isn't as skilled. Google shouldn't have the right to do this or if they do then should of asked the public for there opinion on the bad idea! People do professional editing on Picnik and with the amazing price of $24 a month for the premium option, it's well worth the subscription. Help raise awareness and sign this petition, get Google to notice hoe many problems it going to cause. Thanks for all the support guys, pass this on to other, would be much appreciated.

New York City Bed and Breakfasts are in danger of closing! Please support StayNYC, a non-profit trade association of B&B owners (Short Term Alternatives for You NYC) and the opportunity to choose legal short-term accommodations in New York City.

In order to confirm Obama's supposed devotion to the poor, working and middle classes. As far as insee he has 3 options; two short term and one long term. Option one and two are to call press conferences either 1. Asking that there be no super PACS endorsing him and 2. That if there are to be super PACS that are pro Obama they should disclose donors and the long term goal number 3. That he uses any and all of his executive ability to significantly dismantle or destroy citizens united

During the past four years of recession, American families have struggled to keep their heads above water. The tax payers have been straddled with the debt of “too big to fail” financial institution bail-outs. They have watched good jobs go off-shore due to corporate sponsored government programs like NAFTA. Wages, benefits and jobs are at a fraction of what they were a few short years ago while corporate earnings soar. Meanwhile collection agencies continue taking much needed money from the shrinking monthly budgets of its targets; those with the least to spare. I am writing this in support of my fellow countrymen who are experiencing financial hardship, largely caused by the greed and misconduct of bankers and corporations. It is time we stand up and let them know that we will not sit idly by being bullied and gouged. We need to discourage these companies and their collection agencies from filing law suits or writs of garnishment. Behaving with impunity they act without mercy toward our neighbors, who are in many instances, barley staying fed and sheltered. Please help me address predatory companies by signing this petition, asking them to cease and desist from filing law suits and writs of garnishment until a true recovery has begun.
