Franklin & Marshall College, Pull Misleading Polling Data on Restore PennsylvaniaPolling results are only as good as the questions that elicit them. So when Franklin & Marshall's Center for Opinion Research asked participants in its August poll to respond to a question on Governor Wolf's $4.5 billion four-year Restore Pennsylvania plan but omitted the same details of the plan the governor does when he talks about it, the results showing broad support for the plan were not an accurate reflection of public opinion, yet they're the ones the media reported. Participants weren't told Restore Pennsylvania will guarantee 20 more years of fracking to raise enough severance tax dollars to pay for it and how the plan contains fossil fuel subsidies for more pipelines and manufacturing of plastics from fracked ethane. Given that Franklin & Marshall's own March poll showed 67% of Pennsylvanians believe that climate change is already causing problems and 68% support the government doing more to address it, it's likely that people might have polled differently in August had they been presented with all the facts. The Better Path Coalition has been fighting to stop Governor Wolf's plan. Communities already impacted by shale gas development can't take 20 more years of fracking and neither can the planet. Governor Wolf's plan relies on fracking for nine years beyond the amount of time we have left to address climate change. Five Democratic legislators refused to sign onto the plan for those reasons. Three more have removed their co-sponsorships and more are considering it or have told us they'll vote no. Governor Wolf's wife sits on Franklin & Marshall's Board of Trustees. For that reason alone, the college must take steps to address real or perceived impropriety. By signing this petition, you are joining us in calling on Franklin & Marshall's President to direct the Center for Opinion Research to pull its results, tell the public why they're doing it, and explain how such a flawed question made it into the poll in the first place.1,721 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Karen Feridun

Say No Rusal in Kentucky. Signatures speak!Signatures speak, possibly louder than protest.. if Moscow Mitch and Putin get their way Rusal will have economic leverage but even worse, that company, will be covered just like any US person/company meaning the US government cannot surveil or gather intell. This is Rusal’s intent — a Russian intelligence operation With that being said if this company, Rusal, is allowed to continue infiltrating the American project, a project that if tampered with enough can fail. It’s time to take politics out of the equation including Democrats and look at where our taxpayer dollars are going and who’s salaries we are paying. As long as this business deal stands and continues Full steam ahead we are in essence conspiring to aid, finance, and provide unvarnished access to the enemy and guaranteeing and endorsing the worst and most evil corrupt criminal political acts.107 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Matt Scott

Reinstate Arizona House Sentencing & Recidivism Reform CommitteeArizona is the 4th most incarcerating state in the Union and by these actions is destroying families and communities. • We need to stop thinking that punishment is the solution to the problem. • We need to stop spending billions of dollars warehousing humans. • We need to begin investing in all the things that can make criminal behavior less likely. • We need this committee to be bi partisan, equally represented by Republicans and Democrats. Our incarcerated community is not only living in inhumane conditions but also suffering from the lack of medical care, nutritious food, programs and education, incentives for an earlier release. Our prison system does not offer a true path of restorative justice. For true reform to occur, the Department of Corrections need to provide education, programming and vocational training for ALL incarcerated people, not only for those that are close to be released.448 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Charlene - Deborah - Lillian

Rename Wabash Ave in front of Trump Tower "President Barack Obama Ave"Chicago is embarrassed to have a criminal and liar's name front and center in beautiful Chicago. It would be more tolerable to have President Obama from the great state of Illinois as part of the street address, to not only honor President Obama, but to take away part of the shame that the last name Trump brings, as he will likely be in prison in 2020.12,811 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Cheryl Winn

Rename 56th St. between 5th Ave and Maddison Ave to “Senator John McCain Way”I am starting this petition because Senator John McCain will always be a better Man than the current occupant of the White House. I believe renaming this strip of busy street in New York’s Midtown area will be a great reminder of what a True American Patriot really is.32 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael Montelongo

Protect our rights -- NO Article V ConventionOne of the biggest present threats to our democracy is gaining serious traction -- thanks to secretive, wealthy special interest groups like the Koch Brothers’ American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). These far-right groups are spending big and wielding their influence with state lawmakers, demanding they vote to call an Article V Constitutional Convention. At this unprecedented event, unaccountable and unelected delegates could propose ANY amendments they want to our Constitution. That could mean gutting environmental regulations... rolling back civil rights advances… or even shredding our First Amendment protections. We need to show our lawmakers that we’re paying attention -- and we won’t let them gamble with our rights. Add your name now to defend our Constitution. To learn more about the dangers of an Article V Convention, visit defendourconstitution.org.482 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Common Cause

Require Gun Owners to Carry Liability InsuranceIn the aftermath of the Gilroy mass shooting Mayor Sam Liccardo of San Jose observed, in a press release, that "[w]e require motorists to carry automobile insurance, and the insurance industry appropriately encourages and rewards safe driver behavior...[S]uccessful public health models inspire a similar 'harm reduction' approach for firearms." See http://www.sanjoseca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/86243. Mayor Liccardo proposed a firearms regulation ordinance for the City of San Jose, CA, based on the “harm reduction” model. This approach to firearms regulation should be applied to the entire state of California so that: *All firearms owners in the state will carry liability insurance, or will pay a fee, by which the state will defray the public costs of firearm violence in the state. *There will be a state sales tax on gun and ammunition sales, which will help fund gun safety classes, gun violence prevention programs, and victim assistance services for survivors of gun violence in California. *The State of California will explore a consent-to-search program for juveniles, which would allow parents to consent to have local law enforcement search a juvenile’s person or their property. *The State of California will create a program that would offer cash rewards to anyone who reports someone who possesses unlawfully-obtained guns or weapons.77 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jeanne Lepowsky
