Put Gun Control questions on National Ballot in 2018Gun control is debated on so many levels - ask the American people their opinions without the interference of state and local governments. Gun control crosses party lines, age, demographics, locations - and the people of the country need to make their beliefs heard -- ask the same questions on each ballot regarding automatic/semi-automatic weapons, mental health criteria, violent/ criminal behavior and individual rights on each state ballot - tally the results and then Congress needs to act based on the majority vote!94 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stacy Berman

Save Our Tuition ReimbursementSAVE Our Tuition Reimbursement The evolving landscape of higher education has changed the way working-students obtain degrees and certifications. “Non-traditional” students have a diversity of methods to pursue their continued education while working and contributing to the University of New Mexico Hospital (UNMH) system. It’s time for UNMH to catch up and cherish their employees seeking to further their education while working to serve the community they hold so dear. The University of New Mexico Hospital is an academic institution that aspires to Magnet Status; which is a designation indicating that they are “Nurse Friendly”. • UNMH recruits health care professionals by touting its great benefits, one of which is tuition reimbursement allowing employees to obtain higher degrees and National specialty licensure • UNMH recently decided to dramatically reduce reimbursement rates for clinical staff taking on-line classes and combined programs by almost 50% • The Hospital made this decision unilaterally without informing staff, seeking to understand the impact this would have on current employees, or having discussions with any of the key stakeholders! • Changing this policy in haste may jeopardize educational opportunities staff are currently pursuing or would otherwise be able to pursue in the future and may de-incentivize potential employees from applying to UNMH UNMH has always relied on the labels used on the UNM Bursar’s Office published tuition and fee schedule to reimburse courses taken outside the giant UNM university system, the same methodology was applied to courses in question. UNM now has a separate section on its tuition and fee schedule for a unique set of new online programs. For UNMH employees, all courses labeled as "online" were reimbursed based on the tuition and fee schedule specifically used for this select few UNM online programs, without consideration for the varied education programs working-students participate in.

Existing Gun Sales Laws and Regulations Currently for Each of the 50 StatesI am affected because I am a citizen of these United States, as is most everyone here...and even if one is not a citizen, we all have a right to feel as safe as possible in our communities, beginning with our schools, malls, music venues, theaters and, for that matter, sidewalks, wherever we live. Human death by guns is at an all-time high...in numbers of deaths and incidents. I believe a roll call of all states be made regarding what, if any, laws are on the books regulating gun sales. We can't start in the Middle of this Problem...we Must Begin at the Beginning. I urge everyone to consider signing this petition to become a TEAM FOR CHANGE.24 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kaye A.

Illinois FIX OUR ROADSOur roads are destroying peoples vehicle's. Every $ spent on studies, pet projects, even government vehicle's damaged by the roads is costing we the tax payers more and more. Gas tax hikes meant for road repair has not been put to that use and now our "ELECTED OFFICIALS" are again talking about raising the gas tax. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH--stop overspending, wasted spending, not using the tax collected for these projects FOR WHAT IT WAS INTENDED FOR. Illinois is starting to look like a third world country. If I was an elected official in Bloomington, Normal, McLean County or Illinois I would be embarrassed to have any out of town visitors to see how bad our roads are.87 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tax payers of Illinois

Sign the petition to NRA-backed politicians: Give your money to pay Florida shooting victims’ exp...After the Parkland, Florida shooting, fundraiser after fundraiser popped up to help victims and the victims’ families pay for medical bills, hospital bills, and heartbreakingly, funeral expenses. People across the United States—and the world—have come together to give what they can to provide financial support for the shooting victims and their families. You know who hasn’t helped out? Republican politicians who’ve received millions of dollars from the NRA. Republicans need to move beyond “thoughts and prayers” and do something actionable—like giving the same amount of money they’ve received from the NRA to the shooting victims and their families. It is unconscionable that politicians receive millions of dollars from the NRA, but Parkland victims and their families need to ask for money online. Sign the petition to Republican politicians: Donate your NRA money to Parkland victims’ medical and funeral expenses.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Paul Hogarth

Net Neutrality?The Act of Net Neutrality affects schools, jobs, and education. Net Neutrality will make it harder for teachers to use technology in classrooms in that they wont be able to pull up photos and videos as easily. It will make it harder for students to complete their research. It will also affect low income schools and will make them more expensive for their students.39 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Traub
