Stop Tax Reform for the Rich and CorporationsThe Senate's rush to vote on a lengthy bill that would not even be permitted to be read in its entirety before voting, a motion made and denied, is a prime example of why We the People are fed up with our Congress who refuse to listen to their constituents. It is evident that a "win at any costs" is more important to Congress than the substance of that bill and who it will hurt. Any Tax Reform Bill that sunsets for individuals while tax breaks remain in perpetuity for Corporations will not be supported by us, the people. While reducing the tax rates for corporations is said to create jobs, a statement not supported by most economists and not agreed upon by the CEOs of major corporations as they admit to using their tax savings for dividend payouts and corporate stock buybacks. There must be a guarantee or they should not receive the benefit and certainly not permanently. The tax breaks for corporations should be as small as individuals, no more, and there should be a guarantee that corporations that take advantage of these tax breaks will have to demonstrate job creations by the same percentage. We do not support an increase in the standard deduction while eliminating the personal exemption which negates families of 4+. The bill should not include any repeal any part of the ACA. A tax bill should only be permitted if the CBO scores it with a net zero cost.103 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jon Beard

Injured workers in New York say #NoCutstoComp this Holiday SeasonNew York State Workers’ Compensation Board: Thank you for listening to the tens of thousands of petitions, letters, calls, and comments, the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board and withdrawing the harmful proposal to cuts on workers’ compensation. This November 22nd, 2017 set of proposed guidelines eliminates the prior proposals around company-assigned doctors; the list of injuries that would no longer be covered; and the 97% benefit cuts for some injuries. The new set of proposed guidelines does what democracy should and meaningfully responds to the widespread opposition to benefit cuts from injured workers, elected officials, labor unions, community organizations, and attorneys and eliminated their widespread cuts to the system. Despite the significant improvements to the previous proposal, we continue to have concerns around some reductions that should be eliminated from your proposals. The recent proposal, despite its many improvements, also includes potential cuts on knee, hip, and shoulder replacements. While these cuts are not drastic in number, they are significant for every injured worker who has the misfortune of being injured on the job with these injuries that have been reduced by up to 25 percent. We urge the Board to consider eliminating any and all cuts to injured workers in this current proposal; any cut, regardless of how slight, should never be a consideration. Thank you again for listening to our comments, and thank you in particular to Chair Clarissa Rodriguez for your hard work in creating a proposal that works for New Yorkers. We will continue to advocate for a workers’ compensation system that works for all injured workers, including low-wage workers and immigrant workers with limited English capacity. We hope you will join us as we work to create a better system for all New Yorkers.1,050 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Art Wilcox

Physical education should be required in all k12 schools.We are having a huge problem in America about obese children. Kids are doing less physical activity in schools and out of school. Only 6 states in our country require physical education in the students curriculum. We should promote more activity to the our kids, they are our future.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Eusebio Plaza

SAVE THE CULVER BOULEVARD MEDIAN PARK - AGAIN!The bulldozing of the Culver Median Park that seemed to be prevented three years ago (our Move On petition then was noticed by the city) has now been combined with an urban storm water capture project that is part of a larger area plan to clean up water getting to the ocean. This environmentally important goal is, however, being used as an excuse to fast track the combined projects, limiting the time for, and responsiveness to, important public concerns about serious local impacts and loss of the trees. The public works department believes they have a done deal. The project is very over-scaled for the small area of the median park and the devil is in the details. Thus our long petition addressing those vital details160 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Steve Levinson

A.G Eric Schneiderman stop GOP Tax BillThe GOP bill seems to be in clear violation of equal protection. That may be a broad stroke, but this bill clearly will harm millions of Americans while benefiting very few. AG Schneiderman has taken on hard fight before and hopefully his office will bring suit and help defeat this monstrous bill before it has a chance to decimate the middle and working classes of the country.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Raymond Russell

Make Dragon Ball Super: The Future Trunks Chronicles An Official ShowHelp pitch an idea to Funimation, Toei Animation, Akira Toriyama, and Adult Swim about making a Dragon Ball Super spin-off about the Future Trunks timeline after the Goku Black Arc. I personally think that this can boost Adult Swim's ratings and allows them to have a full evening Dragon Ball Z programming block.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jack Small(A.K.A.LuminousSaiyan27)

Justice For Cyntonia BrownCyntonia Brown is a prime example of an unhealthy teen relationship. At 16 years old she ran away to live with her boyfriend, soon after he started abusing her and making her prostitute herself for money. “He would put a gun up to me and make to strip and stuff like that[…] Yeah, he had sex with me, sometimes I didn’t want to have sex with him, he’d still do it, I’d be crying and everything.” When asked why she stayed with him she said she felt no choice, that she truly thought she would kill her if she left. 16 years old and was trapped with no one to reach out to for help. In 2004 she was sold to a man by her “boyfriend” . She killed the man she was sold to in fear of her own safety “I thought he was going to murder me, or rape me or something, so I shot him.” Cyntonia Brown was convicted and tried as an adult, only eligible for parole when she is 56 years old. Have the courage to get her justice before it’s too late.728 of 800 SignaturesCreated by ED
