Sprint says it would like to "Wait and See" how WP8 does, since the 1 WP7 (HTC Arrive) didn't do as well as they had hoped. With Microsoft pushing both Windows 8 (tablets/computers) and WP8 (cellphones) like crazy this holiday season and Nokia's brilliant hardware, it's no surprise the platform is gaining momentum. With these brand new devices announced recently (Samsung ATIV S, Lumia 820/920 & HTC 8X), there is no reason why Sprint can't get a phone in their flavor, especially with Verizon (also CDMA) jumping on board at launch! The MS Marketplace has surpassed 100,000 apps and is only going to 'skyrocket' with every developer working hard to make 1 single App that will seamlessly work cross platform with Windows 8 tablets and PCs as well. I ask that you sign this petition, even if you're not a fan of WP8, to support customer choice for this carrier. We die hard Sprint customers simply want more choices with all of these great WP8 devices popping up. Thank You! (credit to writer of WP7 petition for Sprint as I just changed some words around to update for WP8) SIGN...SIGN...SIGN and get your friends and family to as well!

In this time when allergies run rampant and we are beginning to realize the danger of certain natural and man-made substances, it is incumbant that we change food labeling laws. We are asking simply that the companies that feed us be required to a full disclosure of the ingredients of their products. We find it unacceptable that currently many potentially harmful ingredients can be hidden under lump naming systems under such labels as natural and/or artificial flavorings. Key ingredients such as monosodium glutamate are often hidden under such monikers causing all types of health issues for innocent people who would like to be able to know what is in their products. Additionally, laws should be changed to reflect reality with regards to label claims. Items containing hydrogenated oils below a certain threshold should not be able to be legally mislabeled free of transfats as this is false and misleading even if a very small of transfats exist in the product. The same should go for other types of fats in the use of the label "fat free". The definition of "free" should legally be the same as the dictionary's meaning i.e., none! Therefor a fat-free product should be in fact free of all fats. We feel that this will help safeguard the health of ourselves and our children as well as help people confidently eat knowing that they are assuredly not compromising their religious, moral, or health beliefs.

Since the U.S. Supreme Court decided that corporations have the right to contribute an unlimited amount of resources to political campaigns, they must make a matching donation payable to the U.S. Treasury.

Veteran Denny's employees get booted out without notice. The chain closed after 25 years. All over a "lease issue". That's a nice way of saying they raised the rent.

The broadcast networks are using bandwidth provided by the public and must serve the public interest. With unlimited campaign funds, and networks willing to play for pay, the propogandists in our political system can say whatever they want. The only beneficiary of this doublespeak is the broadcast network. We are looking to the broadcast networks to show leadership and refuse political ads that ignore, fabricate or otherwise undermine verifiable facts or other public knowledge.

As Tax Payers in the United States of America we are subjected to pay income taxes on our income. Middle Class Wage Earners have always carried the majority of the tax burden of our country and we share our payments to provide a better standard of living for all of the citizens of our beloved country, as such we feel it is only fair for all political candidates, including Mitt Romney to show their income tax returns to prove their dedication to the Values of Fairness and pride of participating in support of our shared values. Make Mitt Romney show his Tax Returns !!!

My family and I live in Rockridge. We and others have systematically surveyed members of the community, and the members of other communities, who hang out with friends, walk and shop along College Avenue. 92% have answered that they oppose Safeway's plan for a three-fold expansion of its store. After hearing of our opposition at five community meetings, Safeway stopped meeting with us and set about imposing their idea about what is best for us. The Berkeley City Council opposes the expansion for the same reason we do: the threatened expansion (1) overrides zoning restriction that limit store size, vehicular congestion and pollution; (2) endangers foot and bicycle traffic on the already heavily-traveled, two lane College Avenue; (3) sabotages twenty five years of neighborhood self-determination; and (4) imperils the small independent businesses that spend their profits in the community. Safeway’s quest for unlimited profits by attracting more vehicular traffic from greater distances, and its refusal to locate in West and East Oakland to serve the needs of residents living in “food deserts,” does not equal the public good. The issue is currently before the Oakland City Council and we need your help.
