We are petitioning to make both state and federal election days state holidays. Automatic voter registration for 18-year-olds will help the voter percentage improve from 75.51% in 2016. way to help bring up the percentage of people voting is to make election day a statewide holiday. For this reason, underprivileged people will not be able to contribute their votes; therefore, would allow for impoverished people People experiencing poverty cannot afford to miss a day of work because they might not be paid or even worse lose their jobs. By this, they do not contribute to the final vote and do not get to their voices heard. Making this day a holiday would allow for a side of view from the people in poverty. Upper to middle-class people have the opportunity to miss a day of work because of their social and class status. If these two issues get resolved it will allow more people to vote and communicate what they think is best for their community and themselves. According to the ATD Harvard research project, people in poverty lack voice and participation in power and experience social isolation. Both of these will help the community because more people will have a say in what happens to them. Also, it could help people in poverty be happier and have better lives because if they contribute then they will get what they need to make their lives better.

At any minute, the President of the United States can start a nuclear war all by himself — a war that could kill everyone on the planet. There’s no such thing as a small nuclear war. You, me, everyone we know and love, would be impacted. It’s terrifying. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Right now, dozens of candidates are running to be our next Commander-in-chief. We need to get them on the record NOW committed to making this important policy shift the official policy for the United States. Add your name to demand a public commitment from every 2020 presidential candidate to institute a policy against the first use of nuclear weapons if elected president.

Regarding development of property at South East Corner of Lake Avenue and Felton Street, Michigan City, aka Lakeside Townhomes: the recent passing ordinance 4509 allows development of local lots to be R1D. This allows TWO family dwellings on our small lots. R1D is considered an urban plan, R1D zoning states that the intent is to maintain and enhance traditional, walkable, pedestrian-oriented neighborhoods and provide for urban infill development that is of a form and character consistent with established historic districts. R1D is only intended for incorporated areas of cities where all necessary utilities and community services are available to serve a higher density population. This is a beach community, the population increases substantially during the summer. Sidewalks are nonexistant in many places and many existing sidewalks need repair. Traffic is extremely heavy as this neighborhood provides access/egress to/from Washington Park and much of the beach community to Route 12. Center/Kreuger street and Felton Streets are overloaded with daily traffic now. Adding in seasonal traffic has caused neighborhood concern for pedestrian safety as well as traffic safety. Adding 10-40 more vehicles and pedestrians have potential for serious problems. Our property values will decline due to overcrowding. As there are many lots available in this area, this ordinance is setting a negative precedence for overcrowding. This change will NOT promote orderly and responsible community growth. This change WILL adversely affect our community. We welcome single family developments on these lots.

I am from the heart of tornado alley, from a town where many cannot afford the cost of a cable subscription. The ability to access local news channels on Hulu Live from any device would mean people could access live weather coverage wherever they were, including from underground storm shelters. It would save lives.

Childhood memories at a good time and place in our lives.

This petition is being made to stop the consumption of live animals. There are so many "delicate" dishes that involve inhumane practices and suffering. There is a popular dish in Guangdong, monkeys are put under a table where there head pokes through the top, and you are to eat there brain while they are still alive screaming! In china there is a dish called ying yang yu. It is a fish half severely fried but just enough to where its organs are undamaged and its head untouched so it can live for 30 minutes. Its sickening to see people laugh at its pain and poke it for a reaction, all i see is the pain in its eyes as it begs to die. There is a dish in China called Huo Jiao Lu. It is the practice of eating a live donkey. They tie its legs together and cut into it and serve the pieces of the suffering animal directly to the customer. The animal stays alive until it can no longer handle the pain and loses to much blood. These are only the few of so many, please help me to end this pain and save the animals that suffer for entertainment and satisfaction.

Styrofoam is a terrible product for our health and the environment. However it is used ubiquitously because of its practical utility. Styrofoam is recyclable, but few municipalities offer this to their residents. Worse yet, when stained with your favorite take out foods, it cannot be recycled. West Windsor , NJ should join those who recycle styrofoam, or preferably, force it’s restaurants to switch to eco-friendly take-out containers by banning styrofoam containers in restaurants.

The citizens of Perkins Oklahoma that enjoy setting off fireworks want the city commission to rescind ordinance 474, an ordinance that bans the use of fireworks within city limits. We have been setting off fireworks for years. The city commission stated some reasons behind ordinance 474. The city commission stated that litter was one reason for banning fireworks. You can drive down several roads in Perkins and see litter on the sides of the roads during times that citizens aren't using fireworks. Another reason the city council used was safety. Chief Barta, the Fire Chief of Perkins said in a city council meeting that "in his 25 years he didn't believe there had been any structure fires or medical calls related to fireworks." Only a few grass fires. Another reason was veterans with PTSD and the effect fireworks have on them. We know hundreds, if not thousands of veterans with PTSD that aren’t bothered by fireworks. We want the emergency ordinance 474 rescinded. If the city commission chooses not to rescind their decision, we the citizens of Perkins want this matter voted on by the citizens and the results finalized by June 14th.

I was sentenced to Life plus 68 years in prison because of a stupid choice/mistake I made at a young age. A man lost his life because of that choice/mistake. I would give anything to change it. You can read my story on my facebook page. Mazel Sexton. https://www.facebook.com/mazel.sexton

It's not just about keeping Adobe Flash, it's about the rights of the children of this generation, and the next. I grew up playing CoolMathGames and dress up games on StarSue.net, I want my little siblings to be able to take part in that too. Many 2000's kids are outraged about Adobe Flash shutting down because it's not just about a few game websites shutting down, it's about our childhood.
