Even during the Viet Nam War, the country was not as divided as it is now. That is why I started this petition, so the People's Party has a counter-balance to all the falsehoods and fantasies that are being perpetrated upon the public by R/W Propaganda and other sources, be they national or foreign.

It's about putting our differences aside and coming together to celebrate what makes this country so great - our history and U.S. Constitution. E Pluribus Unum - Out of Many, One!

Current codes ban residents from keeping poultry by setting an impossible distance requirement of 250 feet from nearby buildings. A simple amendment to Sec. 14-22 would be to change the "250 feet" to "50 feet,” which is what the City of Atlanta and DeKalb County set as the distance requirement between poultry and nearby buildings.

Let’s Aim For Beyond 50 And Get As Many Signatures As We Can! Dr. McDougal has always exhibited care and concern for his students. We've seen this from his time as the director of the Black Unity Center where he often spent his own money to ensure that his students had fruitful experiences. He has conducted and published research on Black student success and engagement within the institution and is more than qualified to serve them along with faculty. By supporting the election of Dr. McDougal, you are supporting the right of faculty to proceed with electoral processes of the department. Dr. McDougal has a history of fairly and efficiently managing the department and now has the opportunity to rescue it from mismanagement.

Mr. Governor, while you and Congress have passed a red flag gun law, I am afraid this law isn't enough to address needless shootings such as the STEM school shooting. I am outraged this shooting happened because it need not happen and innocent people were injured. My sister and I (both students here in Colorado) have many friends who are afraid to go to school because of the rampant gun violence that keeps gripping our classrooms. Your administration has done great things and I am hopeful you can develop a gun safety education program as a resource for people in our state who own guns/have been impacted by gun violence.

The for-profit healthcare machine, Steward Healthcare, is up to familiar antics: silence the nurse, forget the patient and make more money. Our nurse’s union began contract negotiations in October 2018 and have been operating on a series of extensions with the hope of reaching a reasonable deal. Instead of a fair union contract, Steward insists on an either/or decision - agree to a loophole that could bust the union or accept unfairly low wages and concessions on healthcare benefits; a coupling of “shut up or earn less” proposals. Our union is our most effective platform to stand up for our patients who need us for our specialized and individualized care. Hillside is the only hospital in the area that rehabilitates amputees, paraplegics and quadriplegics, patients with multiple sclerosis, brain injuries, and Parkinson’s, or those recovering from a stroke. It is a shame Steward wants to force us to decide on patient advocacy or jeopardizing our own economic welfare. Steward’s familiar antics leave us concerned that Hillside will join other local institutions in the graveyard of once owned Steward facilities; a healthcare flip that they later deem as a flop because there were not enough commas after the dollar sign. Our patients cannot afford for us to be another casualty of Ohio’s unregulated healthcare system – one that allows profit-centered healthcare giants, like Steward, to chew up and spit out community-minded hospitals. Join us in telling Steward that our nursing union is the best platform to advocate for our patients. Nurses should not have to choose between their union or unfair wages!

“Men and women willing to wear our uniform shouldn’t be deported by the same nation they risked their lives to defend.” – Senator Tammy Duckworth. This would seem obvious, but many of our veterans are being deported, often for non-violent charges when they turn to marijuana or other drugs to cope with PTSD after serving in combat. The Veterans Visa and Protection Act would prevent further deportations of veterans for non-violent crimes and allow those who have already been deported for non-violent crimes to return to the United States. https://www.duckworth.senate.gov/news/press-releases/one-year-after-trump-administration-deported-illinois-veteran-duckworth-re-introduces-comprehensive-bill-package-to-protect-veterans-and-servicemembers-from-unfair-treatment?fbclid=IwAR2n1nelIOWF0rqMHOrGvgwUT0KOA1bnA-7JET_VjYjJDGM8QDp3BXYhUg4 https://grijalva.house.gov/press-releases/rep-grijalva-reintroduces-veterans-visa-and-protection-act-of-2019/

The student body feels as if the current uniform policy does not allow us to properly express our true selves. The student body also believes that the current uniform policy is too constricting and does not allow students to have any freedom on their options. At the end of the day, teachers have to lose valuable classroom time in order to deal with uniform violations. The constant loss of time causes students to be distracted during the rest of the class. The change of uniform will make life much easier for students and teachers next year.

Because the Georgia "Heartbeat bill" ignores women and their autonomy over their own body.

Because Puerto Rico has no Senator or Congressperson, Congress mouths the word "care," maybe makes a cute heart symbol--then does nothing and goes about their business. If 2500 Texans (G-d forbid) had perished after a hurricane questions would be asked. For the Island, paper towels get thrown. Only US voters can get Congress to react. We all need to write & call.

I am starting this petition because the Trump Administration revoked White House Press Credentials from most of the reporters representing major news outlets. This is a threat to our democracy. All U.S. citizens are negatively affected by this recent action.

There is nowhere in the country where someone working a full-time minimum-wage job could afford to rent a modest two-bedroom apartment, according to an annual report released in 2018 by the National Low-Income Housing Coalition. In Boston, you’d need to earn $ 33.46 an hour. This simple fact is the crux of the current housing crisis in Boston, and the result is a spike in what is known as the shelter poverty phenomenon: the deprivation of non-shelter necessities resulting from the gap between income and housing costs. In 1995 , one year after the elimination of rent control in Boston,the median rent for a 2 bedroom in Boston was 882.00. Today, that same 2-bedroom unit costs 2,194.00. In Roxbury, currently one of the neighborhoods hardest hit by the most recent wave of gentrification, the median cost of housing rose 70% between 2010 and 2015. As a result of the removal of the protection of rent control, longtime residents are forced out, the population becomes more transient and the fabric of the neighborhood is weakened. Lack of decent, affordable housing negatively impacts the health, well being and economic security of the citizens of Boston. Rent control is one solution among many that we need to implement to protect the poor and the working class from the greed of real estate developers.
