Please support keeping rideshare on Long Island. Rideshare (Uber, Lyft, etc.) provides not just an affordable convenience, it performs critical functions in Suffolk County Long Island. Rideshare fills the massive gaps left by an inadequate public transportation system by providing a very affordable option for riders. It keeps drunks off the road, reducing DWIs, accidents and the resulting property damage and fatalities. Living on Long Island is very expensive; we have one of the highest costs of living here. Drivers offer ridershare to supplement their income, in order to be able to remain on Long Island. We pay taxes and contribute towards the economy with this additional income.

The people of the State of South Carolina are currently disenfranchised from political issues that are of importance to them when legislators fail to propose and enact legislative reform on such issues. "Direct democracy" as enshrined in Article 3, Section 1 of the South Carolina Constitution would vest legislative authority not only in the House and Senate but also with the people.

A small business owner or self-employed person cannot do their taxes without paid help. These people represent a driving force in our national economy. Our tax process handcuffs them with another cost in time and money.

Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) has investigated a number of farms that raise nonhuman animals used for meat, dairy, and egg products that retailers advertise using labels like “humane,” “free-range,” “cage-free,” and other terms that suggest those animals are treated with care and compassion and consideration of their needs; those farms include Diestel Turkey Ranch, Pitman Family Farms, Land O’Lakes dairy cooperative, and Jaindl Turkey Farms, among others. Universally, those claims proved false. In every farm we visited, we found meaningful numbers of animals who had died due to illness, starvation, and blunt force trauma, as well as many others on the verge of death. The public, which cares about the welfare of nonhuman animals and bases its purchasing decisions on the same, has been and continues to be deceived. On a more fundamental level, our experience with the nonhuman animals used for food, including pigs, cows, and chickens, proves that they, like we, value their lives. We think that most people would be highly averse to taking their lives themselves, particularly after interacting with them. The fact that those animals are confined, mutilated, and killed on a massive scale will be looked upon by posterity as a moral catastrophe, and humane labeling serves only to forestall a genuine inquiry by the public into whether our relationship with animals needs fundamental change. For these reasons, we ask lawmakers everywhere to ban the use of humane labeling and force farms and retailers to tell the truth about how animals raised for food are treated.

Russia intervened in our election in 2016 through attempts to hack voting rolls, social media aimed at swing voters, and theft of Hillary Clinton emails. The sanctions law represented a bipartisan effort to punish Russia for intervening in our elections in order to deter future meddling. President Trump has not taken the law seriously. He neither imposed the sanctions required in the law nor made the findings required for a waiver in public. Given the President's possible interest in encouraging continued Russian intervention to benefit himself and his allies in future elections, the normal process of cajoling compliance has little chance of success. Congress needs to threaten impeachment in order to secure compliance with a law designed to protect American elections. Furthermore, if Trump will not carry out the law and insists on protecting Russia from sanctions, he must be impeached for the safety of the Republic. We will not have a rule of law if the President defies acts of Congress and invites the Russians to rig our elections. David M. Driesen

This is a very important issue to me. I'm very concerned for myself being LGBT and my brothers and sisters in this state that we shouldn't be discriminated against just who we are or love.

I am not a veteran. I avoided the war and protested against it. But it’s time to welcome the surviving Vietnam Veterans home and give them the parade they never got. This could heal a lot of old wounds.

The petition is about ensuring election security.

PSU administrators have spent more than half a million dollars (student tuition monies) trying to stop the university's graduates employees from voting and forming a union. These hard working employees deserve to earn a living wage and to have a voice in their careers.

Please sign this petition to show the government that we will only vote for politicians fighting for more secure elections. Also go out and march on March 10th in front of the White House or in front of your state capitol. Visit the website at www.marchforvoters.com for more information. We are bringing awareness to voting security and integrity before the midterm elections begin. There have been many problems with voters' rights in the past and we want to make sure this doesn't follow us into the midterms. America's voters' rights have always come from arduous battles. The women's suffrage movement didn't achieve success until 1920 and the Civil Rights Act only passed 54 years ago. This means that for most of our history, we have been fighting to be heard in what The Economist calls a "flawed democracy". Current systems are trying to erode what many have fought for, and so now is our time to speak out against modern disenfranchisement. There are four issues we will mainly address, but if you stand for any one of them, please come out and show how we are united in our goal of fair elections. 1. Foreign Influence US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said, "When a country can come interfere in another country's elections, that is warfare." The intelligence community has spoken out against Russia, and said they will continue to attempt to dismantle our elections. We are rallying to have our leaders speak out against these actors, enforce greater sanctions against those who participated, and enact tough legislation aimed against those who try to do this again. 2. Gerrymandering Gerrymandering is a way of drawing district lines in a state in a way that benefits one party. It is a growing hurdle that is eroding a fair election process. In some districts leaders pick and choose where they would like their voters to come from to gain the most control. In addition to speaking out against foreign influences, we must also try to combat domestic problems with our voting system. 3. Digital Security We are for technology in voting. In many ways it has made it easier and more efficient, but it does have its drawbacks. We are asking for paper receipts on all digital votes to audit results, thereby reducing the chances of digital alteration or failure. This will cut down on the probability of a foreign government or domestic parties from changing votes. If a voter receives a print out of their vote, the print out can then be run through a machine to prove votes are tallied correctly. 4. Voter Registration The underlying philosophy for a free, democratic election is everyone is given a right to vote. Unfortunately, demands for voters are increasing, so we are protesting for automatic and lifelong voter registration, where the electorate will not have to fear unnecessary purges.

Abraham Bolden needs to have his conviction removed from the record so history will reflect the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Because of a couple of cases of domestic violence that I was involved in, but was proven to be the victim of, the IDFPR is holding my massage license, and questioning my morals because I thought such charges were dismissed (2 of the 3 were). Once they did their work and found that charges were dismissed, they pulled something up from 24 years ago, something minor that I was charged with. Help me put this to an end, sign this petition and let them know I am of upstanding character and morals. This current situation has cost me 40k in wages, as I cannot work until it is resolved. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
