Unfair payment at UT

I am very concerned with the integrity of our Republic. I am alarmed by members of the House & Senate choosing party over country.

Commonsense gun laws!

To pay tribute to those who have sacrificed from Woodside Queens, a neighborhood that has produced more then its share of heroes from the military; most highly-decorated service members (Congressional Medal of Honor winners, Silver Stars, bronze medals, Purple Hearts); 9/11 responders; commissioners; district attorneys; cops; firemen; FBI, DEA, and a host of other public servants. Woodside is truly a Neighborhood Of Heroes...

It's my responsibility as a citizen of the world to make sure that innocent children are protected.

The Trump Administration is launching an extraordinary attempt to hijack the 2020 census for political purposes. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross recently announced that he will add a question asking citizenship status to the 2020 U.S. census. Experts — from former census directors representing both Republican and Democratic administrations, 60 members of Congress, 161 Republican and Democratic mayors, 19 state attorneys general, more than 170 civil rights organizations, and prominent business leaders —agree this is a terrible idea. The inclusion of a citizenship question is likely to scare people of color and undocumented immigrants away from responding. This would result in a severe undercount of newer Americans — even Americans who have lived in the U.S. for decades, whose children and spouses are American citizens — and lead to unfair redistricting that would unduly benefit Republicans making the changes. This hijacking of the 2020 census must stop. Secretary Ross should uphold the government’s constitutional duty to count ALL people in EVERY part of the country — without adding unnecessary and overtly political questions that will scare people away.

This petition has been started by a group of social workers who care deeply about healthcare policies that affect vulnerable populations. This petition voices support for the freedom and legal right of terminally ill individuals to take control over the circumstances by which they experience the dying process. The bill includes evidence based practices in the implementation of a Death With Dignity option and tough safeguards against abuse. The choices that HB2102 provides to the terminally ill have been proven beneficial to patients and families; safe and effective in providing peace of mind and restoring control to the terminally ill.

The Delaware River Basin provides clean drinking water for millions of people in Philadelphia, New York, New Jersey and Delaware. 

 Last December the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) put forth new rules for a half-measure fracking ban that leaves the door open for fracking waste to enter the watershed, and allows drilling companies to take water for their own uses. 

 The DRBC's draft fracking ban regulations are unacceptable, and definitely not up to our standards for a fracking ban. 

 Earlier this year when the DRBC held a series of public hearings, Food & Water Watch and allies held rallies calling on the four governors in the Basin states (Cuomo, Carney, Wolf and Murphy) to support the strongest possible ban on fracking — and not settle for anything less! 

 Now, we need to keep this momentum going and show the Governors that we will fight until the end to protect our most precious water sources, and we need them to do the same.

18 years ago I gave my daughter up for adoption. Previously, I had talked the entire time with the adopting family. I actually knew the wife and her mother and father previously as a child in their church. Within a year-and-a-half of the adoption, all the promises made were taken away. I wasn't sent pictures, I wasn't called, I didn't get updates, I didn't get videos, I got treated like I did something wrong and was cut out. I want to start this petition so that no other person has to go through what I did. Adoption is a beautiful thing. What's not beautiful is telling lies to a birth mother and then reneging on everything because, as the attorney informed me laughing, there's no such thing and any papers aren't legally binding! Don't feel sorry and take the cheaper route for the adoptive parents. You protect yourself, birth mothers and fathers. Protect yourself because the law does not

Whatever we may think about our current President, our Electoral College clearly failed to perform the function Madison and Hamilton had envisioned for it. Rather than override the will of the people when they chose a demagogue unqualified for high office, the Electoral College did precisely the opposite. It is time to admit that the Electoral College must enter the post-Civil War era.

So that we will be able to set our own wallpapers for our Chromebooks.

We have watched Trump cabinet members steal taxpayer funds to finance exorbitant travel, furnishings, doors, and a sound booth for Mr. Pruitt. We must require that we receive proof that these cabinet members (Tom Price, Shulkin, Stephen Mnuchin, Ryan Zinke, Scott Prutt, Ben Carson and any others) have reimbursed the treasury fully for this rampant misuse of taxpayer dollars. Mr. Trump will not ever require this but someone in the White House or some other agency should be sending a collections agency after them for their kleptocracy.
