This petition is to raise awareness of student debt in America, and help reduce it. This petition is to help change the way tuition is perceived throughout the country. If colleges only made a student pay the percentage of tuition that that student failed, then one would be led to believe the student would try harder. For example, if say, John, got an average of 86 percent for the year, John would only have to pay 14 percent of the tuition. But if John got an average of 67 percent for the year, then John would end up paying 33 percent of the tuition.

Richard Adderson has been serving a federal prison sentence for almost 13 years for a "conspiracy" charge due to there not being enough evidence for an actual distribution charge. Richard has NO prior drug convictions,felony convictions, nor prior prison incarcerations. He has served enough time to pay his debt to society, during which he suffered the loss of his mother, whom he was not given furlough to attend funeral services, and recently, his brother. He has 4 children, who have suffered the lack of having their father. He has had good conduct while incarcerated and feels as though the length of his sentence was too harsh for the crime committed. Overall, for the crime he was charged with, his debt to society has been paid in full. Richard respectfully requests an executive commutation, requesting early release. Help give this man the second chance he deserves to live a productive life in freedom. Thank you, sincerely, for your support.

**Please leave a comment to say why you oppose this policy change. Your comment will be delivered as an official public comment.** On October 10, the Trump administration unveiled a new proposed regulation that penalizes immigrant families for simply accessing basic needs to feed their children and keep their families healthy. Under the proposed regulation, the "public charge" rule would allow Trump to establish a rigged immigration system where green cards would only be available to the wealthy few while immigrant families — many with U.S. citizen children — with modest incomes could be denied the possibility of a permanent future together. The Trump administration is required by law to post this unjust proposed order on Regulations.gov for 60 days before finalizing the regulation, to give the public the opportunity to weigh in. If people like you and I post comments against the order, we stand a better chance of disrupting or even stopping it. We have until December 10 to submit as many comments as possible. When the Trump administration attacks marginalized communities, he attacks the character of our nation. People nationwide have taken a stand each time this administration has launched an attack on the most vulnerable among us and, now, it's time for us to take a stand again.

We as family have every right to see aand visit with our loved ones. There is no reason why we should have to suffer like we are incacerated as well. Understand there aare rules to visitation and complying with them are not nor should they be a problem. But when we comply we are still treated like as they maay put it "just another inmate" Me personally I have experienced 2 of the most degrading situations ever in life both with in less than a month apart. And both at River North CC. I was strip searched my car was searched and i complied. Staff took pictures of my medications. I suffer from severe anxiety and biptolar. i proved they were my meds by my name being on the bottles. the narcotic dog supposebly alerted on me after being searched and of course coming out clean after being made to squat cough and all while being on my menstral i still was only aloud 1 hour with my husband in a no contact visit this was on Oct 14,2018. Then on Nov 10th, 2018 the same thing happened this time i didnt have my meds i told them id no longer take my meds before visit of have them on me. It happened again same outcome i was clean. this time i same visit sitauation. My anxiety is a disability others go through this all the time but not every one speaks out. It is time we STOP letting people get away with the disrespect of us and our loved ones and we stand up for our families. there are more details to my story. Stand with me and sign this petition and lets get it to Mr.Clarke and Mr. Robinson and our Govenor. Share this petition as well. Thank You "S.J."

I’ve started this petition because our national priorities as dictated by the White House don’t make any sense to me. Let us redirect the large movement of armed forces to instead help our California citizens in their hour of need. Let’s allow those who need economic and political asylum to apply for it legally.

We have seen evidence of more and more devastating climate change events over the past several years, that are expected to get more and more costly in terms of human life and property damage. these events are occurring more and more frequently and are affecting millions of people in this country.

The fact that Trump’s atrocities at the border have escalated to gassing toddlers is a CLEAR sign of the need for URGENT action!

Eliminating a grading scale within the school systems reduces the pressure of success and failure in which some students are deeply impacted by. It binds students together and promotes a better context of learning as well as success.

Nolan was banned from Reckless because of his toxicity towards, moderators and other staff members, these people who were 'harassed' were constructively criticized about the things they did not try to fix, such as incorrectness is the time period's standards, clothing of other players, and all-out inability to understand the genre as a whole, he was also banned for using bots in the discord and speaking in the wrong channels, where the only people who complained about it was one or two staff members, the community the people who are the most important part of the game were not affected nor phased by what he did. He was permanently banned because of these reasons and many people including Alexa_Kochh, partypat552, exempium (cephalea, former high ranking social and moderator), and others have disagreed with the ban calling it 'stupid' and 'unnecessary'

We have seen the devastation caused by fires, floods, droughts, and all manner of catastrophic weather already and we know there are many more on the way. Prisoners in state custody deserve our protection and California will be on the front lines of climate change in the US so it is our duty to protect those who can’t protect themselves.

We must fight to protect refugee resettlement and stop the administration from further decimating our proud legacy of welcoming refugees.

This petition is to seek relief for the ancient and historic city of Harar, located in Eastern Ethiopia, and its residents who are under unprecedented siege. The citizens are being systematically persecuted, as they are forcefully removed from their homes and businesses; beaten, and even killed by some elements of the majority Oromo fringe group known as (Queerro), whose mob style intimidation won’t be stopped by the weak regional government and alas ignored by the Federal government. The Federal government is not upholding its solemn duty of protecting minorities and the desperate cries of the Harari people for help have fallen on deaf ears. The population of Harar is denied access to clean water and garbage disposal. Furthermore, the lawless mob is Hararis are beaten by thugs in clear daylight, while the hapless local police or Federal forces stand by and refuse to intercede and protect human rights and property rights of Harari citizens. The region is mired in a lawless atmosphere whereby some Oromo squatters lay claim to land and property belonging to Hararis, by forcefully occupying residential properties, schools, businesses, roads and public parks. This must not stand!! We, Hararis residing in California hereby appeal to our senators, asking them to intercede and issue a stern warning and convey our concerns to US Department of State, the Federal Government of Ethiopia, and the US Embassy in Ethiopia.
