  • Stop The Penguins of Madagascar from Being Cancelled
    After the 3rd season of The Penguins of Madagascar, the show is about to be cancelled. In October 2009, it was Nick's #2 show, airing several times a day. However, starting in Spring 2010, the airing went down, until late 2010, when it airs around once a week. The motive for this is unknown. We would like to earn The Penguins of Madagascar a 4th season and a larger and better time slot. That way, we could remind Nick that there are several people who would watch The Penguins of Madagascar if aired more, as well as make it easier for fans to watch The Penguins of Madagascar. Also, I'm not sure if anyone is signing the petition multiple times, but it invalidates the petition. In order to make the petition as legitimate and believable as possible, EVERY INDIVIDUAL SHOULD ONLY SIGN ONCE.

  • Support Michigan House Bill 5000
    HB 5000 proposes to establish a commission to study the governance structure of state universities in Michigan. The bill will not change any law or the constitution but will simply gather information on various governance models from other states and what problems the current governance system may be fostering. Current governing boards for UM, MSU and WSU are elected but nominations occur at party conventions without primaries. Thus, boards are often filled by political favors and special interests. When combined with the autonomy granted by the State constitution this is a recipe for state universities to become unresponsive to the needs of the citizens of Michigan. A study of the problems and alternatives of the current governing model is called for.

  • Stop Sign Installation
    We, the residents of Garrison Avenue, would appreciate an installation of a stop sign at the intersection of Garrison Avenue and Bond Street and a speed bump. We feel as though this action is crucial as we are concerned with the safety if our children and the motorists who consistently speed through the neighborhood.

  • Stop sending our technology and jobs to China
    There are more than150,000 Chinese students enrolled in American Universities. More than 80% are graduate students and most of them have their tuition and living expenses paid for by federal taxpayer funded grants. These students are learning economic and military technologies that they take back to China and set up businesses to compete with American businesses and to modernize their military. American professors have gone to China to lecture on anti-satellite weapons, cruise missile guidance systems, ballistic missile nose cone technology and many other military and dual use technologies. If we stop subsidizing these students through taxpayer funded grants we will create more of an incentive to recruit American graduate students in engineering and science.

  • Stop Arresting Florida's Students and Start Educating Them
    Last year alone, police made over 16,000 arrests of students in Florida Public Schools. The vast majority of these arrests were for minor misbehavior that could have been dealt with (at a much lower cost) by school officials. Students as young as 5 years old are being carted away in handcuffs, instead of being led to the principal or guidance counselor's office. Local school districts have failed to make significant changes to stop this trend, and it is time for the state legislature to act!

  • Set Underwater Mortgages Upright
    Lenders/Servicers/Investors should be required to set upright the mortgages of homeowners who live in their home as their principal residence and whose mortgage is upside down (owe more than the value of the home). The homeowner would then not be allowed to remove any equity (as it accumulates) for a period of about 10 to 15 years.
