I am tired of seeing tax dollars not going where they're supposed to be going I am tired of not seeing exactly where our tax dollars are going and I'm tired of seeing Myra Fallon cut schools to the point where the entire economy is going to be broken because of lack of Education

Saving Our Coasts

BART has erected an ugly, unfriendly metal fence around the perimeter of a small plot of open space at the corner of 63rd St and MLK in South Berkeley. For many years, this plot of land has been an informal park and gathering place for our neighborhood, a place for dogs to run and children to play. This summer, several homeless people set up tents in that area, and BART removed these tents and erected a temporary fence. Since then, several neighbors have been working with Berkeley Councilmember Ben Bartlett to turn that plot of land into an official park and playground. By erecting this fence, BART has taken away an important community asset from a neighborhood that already lacks park space.

Climate change is harming much of the world, including our state of Illinois. We're asking the General Assembly to pass legislation mandating greenhouse gas emission reduction, using Paris Agreement guidelines, for the good of the people of Illinois.

To save the history of all Native Americans, and to be taught how it happened.

This affects all communities, it weakens our society, and is now affecting our neighborhoods, we need shelters, housing, and mental health facilities.

I live here. I love the ocean. I do not want it destroyed in the name of money!

Rhode Island's coasts are a major contributor to the state's economy. Florida was withdrawn from the plan for similar concerns, so should Rhode Island. I oppose all offshore drilling. It is step backwards from progress toward a clean energy economy which is creating more US jobs than any other industry.

Im starting this petition to help with the legalization of marijuana! Ive used marijuana in replacement to my prescription medication for anxiety and bipolar disorder for 6 years now. When i was first diagnosed and prescribed my medication i felt like a zombie every time i took the pills. I couldn’t function properly, with or without my medication. I smoked weed for fun at the time, and it then started turning into a daily habbit, but soon I thought maybe i can try just marijuana and no pills, and with only being on the pills for a short while i stopped taking them and started smoking daily and was functioning fine with no anxiety attacks and no problems! Ive continued using daily since then and i wouldnt change it for the world. Im a better person in general and much more capable of enjoying and making it through the day. The only problem is, is that it is illegal in Texas and i have to deal with shady people in order to get my medication. I just want to be a normal hard working 9-5er thats doesnt have to worry about possibly getting robbed or shot while trying to purchase my medication; or worry about a cop taking my medication after i just spent my hard earned money on it. I shouldn’t have to put that money in a drug dealers pocket, i should be able to put it into a tax paying business that offers a safe transaction with my medical products, and shouldnt have to get worried or worked up when they see a cop. My medication should not be illegal. There is more medical benefits in this plant with less side effects than any pill manufactured, plus thw only side effects of marijuana are still beneficial!! So why should it be illegal?

As a mom of three children in New York City public schools, I often wonder what would happen in the all too common worst-case scenario of a school shooting. There should be more protection at the door, like an armed set of security guards and emergency button for 911/gun violence alarm. There should be bullet proofing on all doors both inside and outside, locks on all classroom doors, and an automated way to set these locks from security and the main office. Enough is enough; if we can't create gun control laws to minimize this risk, it is time to create protections to stop the killing and injuring of innocents.

My family, my town, my state, and all of New England depend on clean oceans for future prosperity. Rhode Island had an oil spill 20 years ago that decimated marine life and severely impacted our local economy. We note that your winter home state, President Trump, has been removed from consideration for offshore oil exploration. Why not mine?
