• Justice for Eli Jacob Gutierrez
    Our loved one who has no criminal record other than a few traffic tickets was the victim of an armed robbery. He is a licensed gun holder who utilized his second amendment rights to defend his family and home. He is not a murderer and should not be charged as one.

  • Support Texas House Bill 595 "911 Bill"
    I am starting this petition because I feel this bill is needed and could possibly save lives. The types of calls made to 911 should be for emergencies and where there are life and death scenarios. We are witnessing our tax dollars going to waste by individuals calling 911 on people who are not committing any crimes but are only participating in daily activities such as walking, gardening, studying, and talking to their friends. Making frivolous calls to 911 ends up taking time and resources from callers that actually need help.

  • Urge Congress to Pass our Military Sexual Trauma Victim's Bill of Rights
    I am an MST veteran who experienced retaliation, homelessness, and PTSD due to MST. The MST community is the most underserved and vulnerable class of veterans. Leading most of us to commit suicide. The most PTSD claims come from MST. The most suicides do to PTSD are MST. Homelessness affects MST veterans at 2x the rate. In every category, MST veterans are at the highest risk, yet no one is changing the laws. Our Bill of Rights provide protections for MST Veterans around the Nation!

  • Stop the YMCA in New Market Township
    We are concerned with the amount of additional traffic on both 230th and 240th street. The plans seem to be unclear and change based on questions the people of the township have had: to name a few, Hours of operations, amount of traffic, facility offering. We feel the addition of the YMCA is not offering the township anything. This has been asked at evey meeting and the YMCA has not been able to answer the question. The YMCA will offer nothing to the township from a tax benefit, it will cost the township money in years to come , examples include, but not limited to, Road repair, additional police and fire, and we will lose the rural setting we reside in . We feel this is against our township Mission; "working together to promote fiscally responsible growth, improve the level of service, and preserve the unique heritage of the town we call home." This will be much more than a Day camp. It was explained that the camp would have 500 kids, its clear long term that is not the plan, the proposal has growth written several times. The 10 Fulltime horses and 90 rental horses. This suggests that this is more than a day camp for kids. This is building a business. For residents that is additional traffic, trucks, trailers, and cars for the horse owners. They will want to ride, feed and take care of their animals, all week long and all year long. Again the residents were told this is a summer camp that is Monday - Friday 7:30am - 5:30pm. The parking lot will hold 150-200 cars, this is in addition to the busses that has been suggested. This also suggests more than a day camp for kids. Winter Buildings for Farm to table events. More business opportunities and does this mean companies, families can rent this space to host events? Yes it does, Additional traffic outside the Summer Camp hours. Facilities for camping, this is not for kids that attend a day camp. This is to offer business opportunities, this includes not just tents, but structures that will be year round and include night and day traffic and a 24 hour operation. In addition more traffic these points alone states that this is more of a commercial operation than a day camp for kids. This plan has considerable growth that does not fit or belong in a residential zones area. We the residents please ask that this not move forward and take away a residential rural peaceful homestead. Our township structure does not support this type of proposal today and years to come. Specific Address: 8535 230th St New Market Township, MN

  • Tell the CPUC to break up the PG&E monopoly!
    PG&E is asking to raise ratepayers' rates AGAIN while state lawmakers scramble to limit the utility's liability for the deaths and damages resulting from PG&E's negligence, even after it has been announced by the CPUC that PG&E has been falsifying documents since the San Bruno tragedy. Anyone else would have gone to prison yet PG&E has repeatedly been rewarded by receiving approval to raise rates to cover the costs of their criminal conduct. Lawmakers claim they are concerned about the effect PG&E's demise may have, but seem to ignore the immense economic impact PG&E's years of criminal conduct has had on our state. Tell the CPUC that PG&E has cost us enough! CPUC- do your job and break up PG&E- it's time to start over.

  • Open the government- No wall!
    The administration is distracting attention from his personal woes by not paying government employees including my friends for their work and making up imaginary border threats in order to retain his tenuous hold of control.

  • Animal Welfare
    I am starting this petition because our nation needs to be far more tough on those who neglect, abuse or inflict cruelty upon an animal. Animals in the United States are treated as far less significant victims of neglect, abuse and cruelty than human victims. This needs to change. Human beings must act as a voice for the voiceless. "Anytime any animal is neglected, abused or the victim of cruelty, I am personally affected by it."

  • Not One Penny
    The president promised the American people that Mexico would pay for his ridiculous and pointless wall. Now he wants to coerce Americans into paying for it by shutting down the government and blaming Democrats for his inability to get his program through. He must not succeed with this extortion!

  • Protect Our Natural Resources, Parks, and Monuments
    Our parks and monuments are important geological sites, producing amazing fossils that rewrote what we know about history, such as the Triassic-era Phytosaur fossils of the Bears Ears national monument and the Dinosaur fossils and very rare Mammal fossils of the Escalante national monument. Greedy corporatists want to destroy these lands and fill their pockets, while paying off kleptocrat politicians such as the GOP. This move is anti-science, and anyone with half a brain could see the geological importance of these lands. These federal lands are also important, because they produce archeological artifacts. One notable example is Bears Ears, which contains artifacts dating back to around 11,000 years ago. These artifacts are significant because they could give us clues into how the first Native Americans in North America lived as they traveled the continent. These lands are also sacred to the Native Americans, with rituals being important to their ancestors and the various local tribes of each national monument/park. Destroying these lands to benefit some corporate kleptocrat is infringing upon the religious freedom of Native Americans. How would Christian’s feel if people did the same to Jerusalem? These lands are also beautiful, and are worth preserving for future generations. They bring lots of tourists, who bring lots of money to local businesses. This benefits local economies. Therefore, it is not economically sustainable and extremely shortsited to destroy these lands.
