  • Concerned Father
    Devry Broox, a concerned father and upstanding citizen of Florida, was arrested and faces up to 10 years in prison on CHILD ABUSE allegations. Broox used boot camp style disciplinary tactics to get his son off the wrong path and back on the right track and as a result was taken into custody by Orange County FL Sheriff's office. If you feel this is UNFAIR take action and help do something about it.

  • TAM: Approve the Fairfax Bikespine
    Manor School has been a leader in the national Safe Routes to School Program, and we can continue to be a model in this movement. However, our streets are marginally safe, even very unsafe for kids. The Town of Fairfax has applied to Transportation Authority of Marin for a $100,000 grant to make the route safer by painting "sharrows" and increasing signage. We're calling on TAM to stand up for safe and green transportation for kids and approve the Bikespine grant.

  • Permanent Revision to Extend Child Support for Special Needs Children
    This petition is about creating permanent new laws in both Federal and State law that extend child support for special needs children. Current laws for child support are not specific enough and are making it difficult for parents of special needs children who by law (both Federal and State) have throughout their 21st year to complete a high school diploma. Special needs students who receive child support need to receive this at least through th eage of 21 or longer if they are not yet emanciapated or self-supporting.

  • Jobs for Youth, Jobs for All!
    Youth across New Haven have come together and acknowledge that a lot of their problems stem from unemployment. Youth see there are no opportunities for a better life without a good and decent job. So we need to take a stand and come together for our youth for they are our tomorrow. Here in New Haven we had over 20 deaths this summer. And with New Haven youth leading this movement, along with many organizations, political leaders, educational organizations, labor organizations, community groups, and everyday working people, we see that violence could have been prevented if there were more job opportunities, and opportunities in general for our youth.

  • Support the 99%
    I would like to see an targeted message to President Obama explaining to him that he does not need donor money from the wealthiest Americans ie Wall street. If he supports the majority of the American people, we will elect him with or without multi-million dollar advertising targeting us. A news story in the mainstream media about how he enacted the strictest policies against the wealthy ever, is the only campaign ad he needs. 73% of Americans support increasing the taxes on the rich.

  • Quality Health Care is a human right.
    Controlling costs associated with the delivery of health care can save over $400 billion per year equaling more than $4 trillion in ten years. The financing of health care through the private for profit insurance model has not only failed to deliver care to all, it has escalated associated costs through artificially accelerating administrative costs at every level by raising premiums, imposing restrictive regulations and punitively reducing payments to providers and patients. Furthermore, the Debt Reduction Committee has an opportunity to expand the most administratively successful health care program in America today, namely, Medicare, to improve it to include areas of health not formerly covered and to reform some aspects to provide immediate cost-savings. The Debt Reduction Committee should: 1. Expand and improve Medicare for everyone within the next four (4) years 2. Ask Congress to pass a bill declaring with every other developed nation that health care is a basic human right.
