Artificial turf, regardless of the infill, is not as cost-effective nor as low-maintenance as it is marketed to be, poses serious health and environmental concerns, and is not the preferred playing surface for the majority of athletes. Please do not approve the installation of artificial turf fields at Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School.

The fact that sewage outflows are not required to be marked within the city poses a threat to public health and recreational activities. Discharge points need to be marked for public health and safety.

The Dodd-Frank Act was created to stop Wall Street from stealing our money, and to prevent another financial crisis. Tell Trump and Congress: hands off our money, and hands off financial reform.

We, the undersigned residents of Washington state, call upon all WA Super Delegates to consider the need and the inevitability of a Political (R)Evolution. A Senate Republican Party majority in Olympia (and razor slim Democratic majority in the House) has led to partisan gridlock and is a result of ever-decreasing Progressive Voter turn-out in our state. We, the undersigned residents of Washington state, recognize the tremendous opportunity afforded to us by Bernie Sanders. As the Democratic Party wanes, it makes no sense for WA Super Delegates to give Bernie Sanders the cold shoulder. Not when Bernie Sanders has proven again and again, “we win when voter turn out is high, and we lose when it is low.” Bernie Sanders received 73% of the votes cast on March 26th. We call upon our Democratic Party Leadership to seize this opportunity of increasing political engagement. Stand with the majority of Washington Democrats and commit your Super Delegate vote to Bernie Sanders. Only with your leadership and support for the Bernie Sanders Campaign can we expand the presence of true progressive leaders in Washington D.C & Olympia, WA.

Oppose H. Res. 11 and the Rubio-Cardin resolution, which falsely and unjustly attack President Obama & Secretary Kerry for not vetoing the recent UN Security Council resolution against settlements in the West Bank.

Stop attacking President Obama, Secretary Kerry, and the United Nations in the wake of the UN Security Council vote re-affirming that Israeli settlements in the West Bank are illegal.

After hearing the story of Zeph Pitt I support this petition to have Zeph Pitt #96636038, moved from U.S.P. Canaan, to the U.S. M.C. at Devens, MA. This will not only address the much needed surgical and biologic treatment that is not being provided in his current location; It would also make visits by his wife and three small children possible; and save the taxpayers the funds used to send his lawyer long distance for consultation.

Give abused children their voices! The Family Courts, in Howard County, Maryland, and across America, continue to ignore the "best interests of the child" and the Courts make decisions based on their own prejudices. My son was taken from me and given to the abusive father, even though he has been pleading for help for years. Where is the justice????

Equal Employment Opportunity for Ex-Offenders. It is illegal to discriminate based on Race, Color, Religion, Sex, National Origin, Disability, Age, and Genetics. This petition is to add the existence of a criminal record to the list. Those who completed their sentencing and are not on any registered offender lists should have an equal employment opportunity.

We the citizens of The United States demand these laws be ratified for the equality of all citizens and their representatives. For a healthier and sound Government Congressional Reform Act 1. No Tenure / No Pension.for a Congressman/woman Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. 2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose. 3. Congress must earn their own retirement in the private sector, just as all Americans do. 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 5. Congressmen lose their current health care once they leave office and participates in the same health care system as the American people. 6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 12/1/13. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. 8. pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.
