Send Spencer children homeI'm a desperate mother lost in the corrupt system. My children are in foster care waiting to be adopted like a litter of puppies. They are trying to terminate my rights. I've done everything they ask, jumped through their hoops, and it still wasn't good enough. I'm still keeping up on my child support payments, visiting my babies as much as they will let me, and working my Perm Plan. I have a job and a 3-bedroom apartment for them. They are using the fact that I have no support system; my children's father, husband of 10 years, was my support system but they said I couldn't have any contact with him because he wouldn't communicate with DCS. Now DCS has filed a TPR on both of us after he started working his plan. Our children were taken due to domestic violence, but it was complete hearsay. There was absolutely no evidence, but they took them anyway. My babies have been gone for three years. Please let me reunite my family. đȘ Thank you for each and every signature.39 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Martha Spencer

Legalization After CollegeAccording to the Texas monthly, there are approximately 1.68 million undocumented immigrants residing in Texas. i was born in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas where there are over 200,000 undocumented immigrants that have fled from the dangers in Mexico in attempt to start a better life in the U.S. Many of these people, once they complete high school or college, they are unable to get a job based of their status in the U.S. Seeing these people work hard on a daily basis nonstop and then watching them leave back to Mexico is heartbreaking. But if they were to be granted the status based off of their hard work and effort and proof of wanting be a good asset to the country. If done like this, it would be a great common ground for both the Liberal and Conservative standpoints.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Celeste Robles

No Fracking PledgeTake The Pledge To Defend The Water Of 40 Million People The water of over 40 million people who live in Arizona, Nevada, California, and Mexico is in extreme danger. Last year, the Bureau of Land Management began issuing permits to energy companies to drill for helium and âother carbon resourcesâ in the Holbrook Basin, after ignoring 80,000 citizensâ complaints. Shortly thereafter, a grassroots organization, NoFrackingAZ, was formed to fight against this irresponsible action. The State Land Department has now begun leasing lands to fracking companies. This January, two State Representatives, Myron Tsosie (LD7) and Walt Blackman (LD6), introduced an anti-fracking bill to the State Legislature, only to have it die in the Natural Resources, Energy and Water Committee, when its Chair, Gail Griffin, decided to not even give it a hearing. Equally unfortunate was Rep. Blackmanâs caving to pressure and rescinding his co-sponsorship. More alarming still is the EPAâs intention to gut the Clean Water Act, removing all but a few sources of water from its protections. The proposed rule change, âRevised Definition of Waters of the United States,â would make it impossible to fight against fracking based on protecting our water supplies, since most of them would no longer be protected. In light of these frightening developments, No Fracking AZ is presenting the following pledge, which we hope all those concerned with our collective future will sign: The Anti-Fracking Pledge of Resistance By adding my name to the list below, I publicly pledge to take part in a diversity of effective acts of resistance to stop the use of hydraulic fracturing, or âfracking,â to extract helium or any other âcarbon resourcesâ (i.e. oil and natural gas) according to the following points of unity. We define âResistanceâ as a shared commitment to fight fracking by non-violent means. Points of Unity I agree that hydraulic fracturing, aka âfracking,â is environmentally unsustainable, socially irresponsible, and an attempt by multinational oil and gas corporations to make a quick buck at the expense of rural people and healthy natural ecosystems. I agree to resist hydraulic fracturing operations and those organizations that enable them, including: PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES: Logging and bulldozing associated with the construction of infrastructure; the actual construction of infrastructure (well pads, compressor stations, pipelines, treatment plants, etc.); high volume water extraction from local waterways and ponds (This water is mixed with chemicals and injected underground during the actual process of hydraulic fracturing.); seismic testing, drilling, fracking, flaring, and the construction of toxic âbrine poolsâ or âflowback pond;â reckless waste disposal methods (deep well injection, the spraying of well brine on roads, the dumping of flowback water into local waterways, the burying of toxic âresidual wasteâ in municipal landfills, etc.) LEGAL, POLITICAL, AND LOGISTIC ACTIVITIES: Manufacturers that supply raw materials; transportation operations that move raw materials, equipment and waste; land leasing, forced pooling, and the law firms that support these agreements; financiers, engineering firms, and subcontractors that perform critical support work; colleges and universities that invest their endowments, do research paid for by the gas industry, and censor research critical of fracking; any bureaucrat, candidate, politician or political party office that continues to enable the industry. I will show solidarity with all others resisting the effects and spreading of fracking operations by contributing to a diverse campaign of community building, legislative resistance, and direct action. I will determine my own level of participation, whether it takes the form of engaging in constructive dialogue with fellow community members, speaking out at hearings and meetings, participating in community building events and trainings, taking part in direct action events, etc. I am committed to pushing for more effective intervention in the natural gas industry by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ), etc. I will also advocate for renewable energy sources of any kind, such as wind, solar, geothermal, etc. as an alternative to fracking becoming a national energy extraction priority. Hydraulic fracturing for helium or natural gas is no more of a responsible solution to fossil fuel dependence than mountain top removal coal mining, off-shore drilling, or the tar sands distillation megaprojects in Canada. We stand together against the manipulation of our communities to further this destructive, nonrenewable resource boom.33 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lisa Test

Stop Mark Kennedy From Becoming CU's Next PresidentCU's student body is overwhelmingly progressive, and Mark Kennedy's record proves that he will not represent our collective interests. Here at CU, we value inclusion and diversity. We support LGBTQ students and staff members. The University of Colorado is the crowning jewel of the state's university system, and we will not let it be spoiled by a man who has regressive and discriminatory values. Kennedy has not earned this prestigious position, and should not be trusted in overseeing our education. It is both absurd and upsetting that the regents have allowed him to make it this far in the selection process. Records do not lie: Mark Kennedy is categorically unfit to hold the office of the presidency.502 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Ariel Gold

Votes for GoatsJacksonville City Ordinance Section 656.331. â Agriculture and General Zoning has requirements that if livestock is housed on your property, then the animals must be kept within 200' of the property line. There are some lots, that although zoned residential rural, are not even 200' wide. Due to this and as a result of a complaint of a neighbor could force me to remove my 5 goats from my property, which I have owned for more than 6 years. I personally grew up in the area and have owned my property for more than 21 yrs. The neighbors have lived in the area less than 2 yrs. The goats are housed, fed, vaccinated and in a very secure pen. They are not a nuisance and are very domesticated. We have grandchildren, friends and their children and grandchildren of friends that absolutely love our goats. I'm asking each of you to sign this petition in support of us, that Jacksonville City Zoning in Duval County pass my application for the variance request in order for us to keep our pets.684 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Christie Hardy-Perez
