Jacksonville! Stand in unity that our voice be heard! Join The Jacksonville Bicycle Coalition in the campaign for safer streets for the citizens and children of this city. Jacksonville, Florida is the third most dangerous city in the nation regarding pedestrians and cyclists. With regards to Florida in general, Jacksonville’s low ranking in safety is indicative of the rest of the state. According to Transportation for America’s “Dangerous By Design” 2011 study, the top four most dangerous cities in America are all located in Florida - 1) the areas of Orlando / Kissimmee, 2) the areas of Tampa / St. Petersburg / Clearwater, 3) Jacksonville, and 4) the areas of Miami / Fort Lauderdale / Pompano Beach. As a citizen of the City of Jacksonville - the city we all adore for its aesthetics, its culture, its undeniable potential - I ask of you, please consider supporting this cause by signing this petition. This petition will be given to our Mayor and State Representative. With enough signatures, we hope to have this issue placed as a higher priority for city and state improvements. If every other respectable metropolitan area of this country can have proper road infrastructure for various means of transportation, then certainly Jacksonville should be no exception!

The Michigan Legislature has slashed school funding in order to give 1.8 Billion dollars worth of tax cuts to corporations. Not one job has been created, but thousands have been lost. With the realization of 285 million dollars in unexpected revenue, it is time for the Legislature to restore K-12 school funding, and to stop attacking the labor rights of public sector employees.

We need a constitutional amendment that will clarify that constitutional rights apply to natural persons (you and I) and not to corporations which are artificial persons created by charters granted by the states or the federal government.

with the problems in the economy and homes being foreclosed, families struggling to maintain shelter and food, forgiving student loans would be a stimulus that would really help our economy

On Sept. 12, 2011 Beaufort County Council approved a 2012 redistricting plan for the Beaufort County School Board that will require 10 of the 11 current incumbent school board members to run for re-election in 2012, although several of them were just elected in 2010. We believe that the plan was designed primarily to dismantle the majority-Black leadership of the school board, although 3 of the 6 African-Americans members don't represent majority-Black districts. Also, requiring 10 incumbent school board members to run in the same year erases the safeguards created by staggered elections, and will disrupt the stability of the school district's governing body. We ask that the DOJ reject the plan because it threatens to undermine minority voting strength; drastically reduces Black representation on both the school board and county council board with an impact that is both draconian and punitive for Black elected officials who're not Republicans.

Background: By using tax loopholes, America's largest corporation, General Electric, paid no taxes (that's right, zero dollars) in 2010 on profits of $14.2 billion while claiming a tax benefit (loophole) of $3.2 billion. This isn't an unusual case - this is fairly typical of what big business gets away with in the United States.

Our Democracy has become threatened by corporate, PAC, and lobbyist undue influence on elections and politicians. The only way to restore a true democracy is to have our political leaders free from the influence of money to support their campaigns. It is time for Public Financing of elections, without loopholes.

To strengthen the Barack Obama ticket in 2012, he and Hillary Clinton need to be convinced that she should be his Vice Presidential running mate.

Almost one year since the beginning of Klaine, an international tour, and another season underway...and yet no Darren Criss and Chris Colfer interview. Look at your life, look at your choices, and ask yourself: Is this fair? No. It's not. So let's do something about it! These two individuals are one of the most, if not THE most unique, ground-breaking, beautiful, and organic couple on TV. In real life they are talented beyond compare, they influence and are role models to millions of people. With their charisma, dedication, and heart put into everything they believe in, its not hard to see why so many people love them. The world has been deprived of this interview for too long! That ends now!

Don't let the Chicago movement be forced out of Chicago. Let those who occupy the streets have a base where they can stay, regardless that the park arbitrarily closes at 11 p.m.

3.7 billion prescriptions were filled in retail pharmacies in the United States in 2010 (1). That is an awful lot of plastic. Unfortunately, the bottles used for these prescriptions are often not recyclable (2). Many states also prohibit pharmacies from reusing prescription bottles (3).

To petition our representatives to create and sign a very simple amendment to our Constitution which dictates that corporations are NOT people and do not share ANY of our rights!
