Investigate the Identity theft cases involved with the FCC net neutrality voteI believe that an investigation into the identity theft of over 2 million Americans involved in the comment board of the FCC on net neutrality should be looked into. It is worth looking into whether these cases of identity theft were caused by radical random individuals or by people in power or corporations. I believe that people that steal people's identities should be held accountable.26 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mike

Move against methadone clinic in our neighborhoodI've lived my life here 15 years and Dennis Township and Eldora haven't had nearly as many drug-related issues going on as other cities in Cape May County. Why would it be a good idea to bring a methadone clinic into our peaceful, quiet neighborhood full of children? Bringing this methadone clinic into our neighborhood will only cause issues. There's an illegal New Jersey Transit stop at the location where this new clinic wants to open doors. This is a recipe for disaster.202 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Rene Jones

Protect lamp lighter police officersWikipedia indicates plainclothes New York police officer Frank Serpico reported evidence of systemic police corruption in 1967. He contributed to a New York Times front-page story on corruption in the NYPD, which drew national attention to the problem in 1970. Mayor John Lindsay appointed an investigative panel that became the Knapp Commission. Serpico was shot in the face in 1971 under questionable circumstances while attempting a drug arrest. His backup was nowhere to be seen and his colleagues refused to make a "10-13" dispatch to police headquarters declaring an officer had been shot. An elderly man who lived in the next apartment called emergency services to report a man had been shot. Other officers arrived and transported Serpico to the hospital. He survived and retired in 1972. He continues to speak out about police brutality, civil liberties, and police corruption. He prefers the term "lamp lighter" to "whistle blower" as one who alerts the public to danger. News reports state Baltimore, Md. police Det. Sean Suiter was killed on November 15, 2017, the day before he was scheduled to appear before a federal grand jury pursuant to his knowledge of facts regarding a 2010 crime and 2017 indictment as part of a police corruption investigation of which he was never a target. Reportedly, on the evening he was killed Suiter approached a "suspicious" man during an unrelated investigation. Shots were fired and Suiter's partner was later seen on a surveillance video taking cover across the street. Police Commissioner Kevin Davis indicates there is no information connecting Suiter's murder to the corruption case but requested the FBI to take over the investigation. That request has been refused. Suiter, survived by a wife and 5 children, was shot with his own gun. Although his clothes were said to show evidence of a struggle, there is a possibility that survivor benefits may be curtailed or denied if Suiter's death is ruled a suicide since he was shot with his own gun. The homicide remains under investigation. As a retired police officer, I know most cops are honest, dedicated, and hardworking. But as with every profession, there are some "bad apples". People often ask, "Why don't the good cops turn in the bad cops?" Sometimes the "good" ones are silenced by peer pressure or threats. All the circumstances surrounding the shooting of Det. Suiter may never be known, but sometimes the "good" cops are silenced by violence. Police officers courageous enough to be "lamp lighters" need to have protective measures available to them. This could take the form of an assignment change, a leave of absence, or other measures depending on the circumstances. Further, matters of assignment, discipline, and promotion should be monitored to lessen the specter of reprisal. This should be mandated by law and strictly enforced. The net effect should discourage malfeasance among the ranks and bolster much needed public trust in the police13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by William Bland

APUSH Students: Move the Midterm!We are students in Ms. Bicknell's 7th Period APUSH class which will have its midterm THIS Friday, the 12th. We believe that in order to perform as well as we know we could, we need more than one class between the test and now to study. Considering that we are coming off of a break and there is no purpose period this week to have a full review session, we would like the test to be moved. We understand that this will mean the Midterm will happen on a History testing "blackout" day, and we are ok with that.28 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Zoe Sipe

Save Norwegian American Hospital!Safety-Net hospitals like Norwegian American Hospital, are completely reliant on Medicaid funding from the hospital assessment program which is set to expire in June. Countless patients and employees depend on the services and economic activity created by these hospitals. We need your help to send a message to Springfield that any cuts to Medicaid funding will negatively impact jobs and patient care.709 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Nancy Clarke

Illegal Occupancy of the Hawaiian Island's and Holding the Queen at GunpointDue to historical events and various manipulative maneuvers stimulating multiple levels of outlaw type campaigns influencing other members of the Executive Corporate Branch of the US Company carrying out premeditated acts against the islands of Hawaii and its Administrative Members of the Kingdom of Hawaii, namely Queen Liliuokalani and her governing body. All of which were held under gunpoint primarily within the Iolani Palace to Annexate its governing body who were residing and managing the Hawaiian Monarchy who once managed the Hawaiian People and their citizens of Hawaii. We demand justice to our Native Kanaka and their descendants of today. The U.S. Government needs to compensate the Native Kanaka. U.S. Government has been illegally occupying The Hawaiian Islands and have been bankrupt since 1933. Justice needs to be served.37 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kamanawa Kahekili

No Columbus MN Asphalt PlantThe citizens of Columbus MN, Lino Lakes, Forest Lake, Hugo, and Centerville all face a public health and environmental threat. This threat comes in the form of a proposed asphalt plant which is to be located in the flood plain, adjacent to Rice Creek, removing several acres of wetlands sitting on top of the primary aquifer that supplies the entire twin cities metro area. Please sign our petition and help us block this attack on our environment.303 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Timothy Melchior

Let them Race!I am hoping to establish this petition to change the decision of Ferry County that will not allow minors to race cars on their property. With the recent County Policy, the children may not get their chance to experience such a great event. Racing can provide a great learning experience and many good traits for our children from teaching them about engineering, mechanics, sportsmanship, competition, and camaraderie, as well as skills that become careers as kids grow. It is my plea to those who read this that they sign the petition and pass it on in hopes that we can convince the Ferry County Commissioners that we should be supporting our youth and encouraging them to take part in such activities.86 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Wendy Braun

Make Schools Safe AgainMany children in schools do not feel safe, and sometimes they report it and schools do nothing about it! Kids can be extremely aggressive, and can break rules. (the rules we are targeting are specifically the ones that protect other kids) Often it happens in front of teachers and they do absolutely nothing about it! Mental health in children and teenagers needs to be a priority for schools, because school can cause mental issues, and mental issues can affect school performance. School can be hell for many students, and I believe that we should do something about that.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by kyle
