• School needs to change
    The things we learn in school are not going to make the future a better place. When these children leave high school, they are going to be so lost. They won’t know how to do their taxes or how to look after their heath or stocks, etc. This needs to be changed.

  • DRBC, Reject PennEast and Close the File
    We've started this petition to gather individual signatures to accompany a letter that organizations opposing the PennEast pipeline have written and are preparing to submit. Here is the letter in full: Dear DRBC Commissioners, It is time for the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) to act on the PennEast pipeline! It’s time to REJECT the project and CLOSE the file. The actions you take and the decisions you make regarding the PennEast pipeline are setting precedent for every other pipeline to follow. New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware waterways, the natural landscapes that dictate the health of their water resources, and all of the communities that depend on healthy waters, healthy forests, and the healthy economies that healthy waterways and ecosystems provide -- are being hard hit by the onslaught of fracked gas pipelines emanating from the fracking shale fields. It has been over 3 ½ years since the PennEast pipeline company filed its application with the DRBC. Since that time organizations, communities, along with their experts, have documented the false, misleading and missing information in the PennEast application materials; we have demonstrated the irreparable harm that PennEast would inflict if constructed; there have been significant route changes; and a federal court ruling has upheld the right of the state of New Jersey to deny PennEast the power of eminent domain to take and/or infringe on its property rights which will necessarily result in a new round of route changes. All the while, the devastating impacts of climate change – a human-induced catastrophe in large part driven by fracking and their pipelines – including on communities, environments, and water resources are growing at an unprecedented and soon to be unstoppable rate. It is time for the Delaware River Basin Commission to make clear it has jurisdiction over the entire pipeline right of way (every square inch and every impacted resource) and then to step up and deny a docket to the PennEast pipeline. At this time when the federal government is working hard to reduce the authority that states have to protect their water resources, and given the massive explosion of gas drilling and associated infrastructure, the role of the Delaware River Basin Commission to protect the water resources of our region is more important than ever. It is no longer legally appropriate, nor morally defensible, for you to continue to keep the application file open and leave communities and natural resources across the basin threatened with harm from the ever-present PennEast-axe hanging over our heads.

  • Make our streets safer for pedestrians and cyclists
    I live in, work in or visit Hillsborough, NC and I value a community that is safe for walkers and bikers. Where everyone follows the speed limits and stop signs all the time, not just when it is convenient or someone else is watching. I value the lives of our children, elderly and pets and I want everyone to drive in my neighborhood like they do as well. Hillsborough’s walkability is one of the main reasons people move here or visit, it has positive health benefits for residents and visitors and it brings tourism business to the town. Unfortunately, traffic surveys routinely show, and pedestrians regularly experience, the majority of drivers in residential neighborhoods speed and do not follow traffic signs. I want the town to make public a plan to reduce dangerous driving and to regularly make public reports demonstrating significant reductions in dangerous driving to ensure pedestrians and cyclists in Hillsborough are not endangered by reckless drivers. Learn more about our efforts on our website: https://www.hillsboroughsafestreets.org/

  • Recreational/Medicinal Cannabis
    We the people of the United States of America want and need this medicine. If alcohol can be legal with it being as harsh as it is, then Cannabis should be legal, plus it has benefits from helping medically and economically. We can use a percentage of the tax revenue off of the sale for helping with education as well as families that can't afford school lunches all the way down to school supplies for low-income families as well. There are way more benefits to it as well. Tobacco is legal and has zero benefits to it. None of the proceeds or profits from taxes go to better anything. So many children could benefit from Cannabis Grants who are less fortunate and cannot afford to go to college to better the country as a whole. People who have been imprisoned for possession of a plant that grows in nature is very absurd. People's lives have been wasted because of it, all over a "plant". Why keep wasting money targeting people for the possession of cannabis? The people are still going to buy, grow, and sell Cannabis. Why not put restrictions on it like that of alcohol? If you don't want to do it, you do not have too. Make it where you cannot use it in public unless in designated areas. Open up Cannabis lounges, Dispensaries, use inside private homes and designated areas such as hotels, motels, Cannabis lounges, and designated park areas. No use while operating vehicles of any type such as Boats, Motorcycles, Automobiles, or any other form of transportation. No sale to that of a person under 21 years of age. Can grow up to 6 plants per household at any given time of the year. No possessing of more than 2 ounces on a person while out in public. No use while at a place of employment; same standard as alcohol.

  • PKU Formula Coverage
    Trevor needs this formula to live a normal life. There is absolutely no way for him to function, work or otherwise enjoy his life without it. We have fought this and fought this and made zero ground with insurance companies because there is no state law requiring them to provide coverage. The cost of formula out of pocket with no coverage is more than most people’s mortgage and it’s so unjust that something just as necessary as insulin for a diabetic is putting such a stress on our life. The PKU law in Nevada has not been updated since 1997 and it is very very necessary that it be revisited. As newer Nevada residents, it’s very discouraging that we can’t get coverage on something so life-altering. We are very hardworking people and it is outrageous that the amount we pay for health insurance doesn’t include the cost of formula. PLEASE HELP!

  • Tell Rep. Max Rose: Congress should impeach Trump
    Rep. Rose has long been trying to avoid dealing with holding Trump accountable for his many abuses of power & potential crimes, but this latest flagrant abuse of power by Trump towards the Ukraine must be dealt with directly. He must stop trying to appease the many Trump supporters in his district & finally do what is right, even if it is politically inconvenient for him to do so. The country is at risk of losing its democracy, he must stand up for the Constitution and the rule of law and help make the case for impeachment now.
