Petition to Trenton Fire Dept.
We are urging the administration to reconsider changing our Fire Department patch and uniform colors. The iron fireman stands for the sacrifice we as Trenton firefighters’ are willing to make and stands tribute to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. We as the members of this department understand the risk and sacrifice we make on a continuous basis missing nights, weekends and holidays with our family. If there were to be a change to our patch and uniform it should be based on a majority vote of all members. From there every member who wishes to take part in the development of a new patch should have the opportunity. Without allowing the members to take part in this change is detrimental to the mission and morale of the Trenton Fire Department. The members of this Department are the ones wearing the patch and uniform every shift and our input should be a part of this decision.Read more

Petition to Jeff Bezos, Walmart
Patches is Owens cat. And we need to get him away from Owen as soon as possible. He abuses the cat by sitting on him and starving him. If we don't get Patches out of Owens care, who knows what will over Patches. Doing this will serve justice and bring hope to any animals that Owen has and prove toRead more

Petition to Jeremy Corbyn MP
Numerous studies have been done on the medicinal and pain relieving benefits of CBD oil yet the NHS does not yet prescribe it. Instead we are forced to take a combination of medications that often have negative side effects or suffer the symptoms.
I personally suffer from Fibromyalgia and have found CBD an effective treatment at the right strength with no negative side effects. Unfortunately it works out very expensive weekly for the correct strength. An expense that is unaffordable for most including myself. The concoction of big pharma meds cost the government a lot more than it would pay for the CBD.
I would like to see CBD being made available in the UK AND Northern Ireland for pain related conditions.

Petition to Old Tappan Planning Board Mayor and Council
Update: There will be a Mayor and Council Meeting on May 8th at 6:30 PM at the Old Tappan Borough Hall. This meeting will be the last hearing for the development of the Assisted Living complex.
Important note: if you donate here, you are donating to Change.org NOT sending money to support our local opposition to this project. If you would like to donate to the legal representation fighting this development, please go to: https://gofund.me/db42bd2a
We are residents of Old Tappan who are concerned about overdevelopment in town. We demand the Mayor and Council to vote “No” on a developer’s request to build a 100-bed three-story assisted living facility on his residential lot at 244 Old Tappan Rd. Our small town is already exploding with the following projects:
Enclave at Old Tappan- 225 townhomes/apts plus retail stores at the former Pearson site
Commercial Lot for Sale at 184 Central Ave across from Oakes Park
20-26 townhomes on Central Ave. across from NVOT high school
Multiple group homes at the corner of OT Rd. and Washington Ave.
Strikingly large building under construction on a residential lot at the corner of OT Rd. and Kristin Place
We are already in compliance with our affordable housing commitment. This project goes against Old Tappan’s Master Plan: to secure open space and environmental preservation especially near the center of town, and to contain commercial development in designated commercial zones. To flip this lot to commercial use would require planning board approval of multiple variances of major proportion. It would be massively out of scale on this small lot and set a terrible precedent for our already overdeveloped small town.
Our planning board is tasked with upholding our codes and zoning to protect our town from opportunistic individuals who are looking to personally benefit at the expense of the community at large. The negative effects of this project include:
Even worse traffic and congestion on Old Tappan Road especially by our schools and rush hour
More demand on our police, with potentially the need to hire more officers (and more taxes)
Greater stress on our volunteer fire department and ambulance corps
Increased threat of flooding due to the huge loss of trees adjacent to wetlands on the site.
The positive result of a “No” vote would avoid all of the above and also save the open space at the site. The lot includes a stone building listed with the national registry of historic buildings and wetlands with a vernal pond critical to local wildlife. There is keen interest by Bergen SWAN (Save the Watershed Action Network) and other land trusts in assisting with guiding funding from the County and State toward the purchase of this land to save it as a nature sanctuary, as well as support from our Congressman Josh Gottheimer to apply for federal funds. Preserved land would be a far superior benefit to Old Tappan children and families than yet another assisted living venture.
We, the undersigned residents of Old Tappan, object to this losing proposition and call on our planning board to reject it by voting “No” on the variances required to build it.Read more

Petition to Greg Hunt MP
Lignocaine patches. Local anaesthetic that numbs the area of pain but doesn't impact your mental state. There is NO risk of addiction.
For some unknown reason, these handy little patches are not Lignocaine patches to PBS and/or partially subsiding the over the counter price would be highly beneficial.
I am currently using Lignocaine patches in addition to my usual pain relief, as opposed to trying something stronger like fentanyl patches. The relief they are providing after only 4 days isRead more
