PennDOT Needs to Treat & Clean RT 739 of Snow/Ice!Rt 739 is typically left in very unsafe and deadly conditions before, during, and after winter weather; up to and including blizzards, snow, snow showers, sleet, and freezing rain. The entirety of the thoroughfare is left completely untreated, and often times the only tracks cleared through the snow/slush are made only by the citizens traveling the roads. This results in having to inch along an icy, curvy route at 10 MPH, tripling the travel time on the road. This not only puts many people in danger but also causes motor vehicle accidents that may have otherwise been avoided. That, in turn, causes emergency personnel to be overrun with incidents and eventually higher taxes and costs to the citizens. We implore PennDOT to consider this and give this very hazardous issue some much-needed attention.53 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Irene

Tell UPS: Stop forcing drivers to work 70-hour weeks!UPS is forcing package drivers to work up to 70 hours a week this holiday season. Forcing exhausted drivers to work so much is unsafe to workers and the public. Rather than creating a holiday safety hazard, UPS should create more full-time jobs that pay a living wage.2,057 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Working Families Party

Save Midway BeachThe existence of Midway Beach in South Seaside Park NJ is being threatened by the ill considered and unnecessary dune project underway by the Army Corp of Engineers. Midway Beach is the only community on Barnegat Island that was not affected by Superstorm Sandy due to our treasured massive dunes. We don't need YOUR DUNES.576 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Sharon Desser

Rep. Devin Nunes: Enough with Your Secret Investigation of the FBI & the DOJOn 12/20/17, Politico revealed that California's Republican Representative Devin Nunes is leading an on-going and secret investigation of the FBI & DOJ leadership aiming to show bias against President Trump. Rep. Nunes is my representative, and I find his actions to be contrary to the ethical standards to which elected representatives at the national level must adhere in order to serve the entire nation. Instead, this is more of the types of actions that are further inflaming highly contentious divisions within the US.1,712 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by David E. Roy, Ph.D.

Dissolve the Republican PartyThis is not an Anti-Conservatism petition as I believe bipartisan bills are the most beneficial to the American population. Unfortunately, however, the corruption and willful undermining of our democracy within the Republican Party is apparent to the American People, and we demand it be dissolved and Conservatives start a new party with a commitment to honest public service, patriotism and real conservative values. Return the integrity to the conservative wing of America and end the party of corrupted Republicans.173 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jeremy Pozensky

Al Franken should not resign on January 2It is unfair to Al Franken and the people he represents for him to resign over allegations that have not been subjected to an ethics investigation. He has stated he will resign on January 2. Please encourage him to reconsider.24 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mike Williams

State Street Corporation: Remove 'Trump' from your hotelDonald Trump is the first president to refuse to divest from his business holdings while in office. Coupled with his refusal to release his tax returns, that level of secrecy makes it impossible to know when he’s representing us as a nation and when he’s representing his own business interests. The President has a choice: to lead the country or to continue enriching himself. And until Trump makes the right call, his business partners must not enable corruption. That’s why we’re calling on these companies, starting with State Street Corporation and the GE Pension Trust, the owners of the Trump International Hotel and Tower in NYC, to remove President Trump’s name from their building. The Trump International Hotel and Tower by Columbus Circle is one of the most recognizable Trump branded properties in the world. We need to send a signal that New Yorkers won’t stand for this kind of blatant corporate greed in their own backyard. We must band together to demand that State Street and the GE Pension Trust stop doing business with the Trump Organization, and drop Trump’s name. There is already momentum. On Nov 22, the Trump Organization announced that they will be “walking away” from the Trump SoHo Hotel—which has been marred in scandal, and financial woes.(1) Now, Trump is facing scrutiny from the Maryland and DC AG’s office who are starting to investigate his Washington DC hotel stating that it “enables him to make money from foreign and domestic governments, breaching two Constitutional clauses intended to prevent that.”(2) This is an unprecedented conflict of interest. Companies should not be profiting from this corruption. Buildings like Trump International Hotel and Tower should drop Trump’s name while he’s in office. If we act now to pressure other properties to drop the Trump brand we can demonstrate just how toxic his corruption is. After all, a commander in chief who has ongoing involvement in a private business that bears his name cannot truly represent our interests because we aren’t his constituents first. Instead, we’re his patrons, workers, and competition. We need a president who puts country before company. If President Trump won’t divest from his businesses while in office, we need to make sure that companies refuse to profit from corruption. Take a stand against corruption: tell State Street Corporation and the GE Pension Trust to remove President Trump’s name from their hotel.403 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Lead Not Greed

Tell Congress to Support Local Farms!Small towns and rural communities depend on family farms because small farms employ more people per acre than large farms. When they disappear, jobs in the community evaporate with them. Today, family farms are hurting. Since 2007, more than 56,000 midsize farms have disappeared from the American landscape. The loss of jobs and business opportunities in rural America is putting once-vibrant small towns at risk. The Local Food and Regional Market Supply (FARMS) Act offers solutions to these problems by helping farmers reach new markets while expanding access to fresh, healthy, local food in low-income communities. By increasing the demand for local food, the Local FARMS Act would stimulate economic growth in rural communities, creating jobs and reliable revenue streams for farmers and ranchers. The Local FARMS Act would be a win for farmers, a win for consumers, and a win for communities. Sign this petition now and ask your member of Congress to cosponsor the Local FARMS Act.869 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Matt Hildreth, RuralOrganizing.org
