• Brightwood Architecture Please Stop Ripping Off The Architecture Community!
    Before I ordered the Brightwood 5.0 Study guides I called them and they told me everything is new when in fact it is exactly the same as my Kaplan 2007 ARE 4.0 content. They gave me a really hard time about getting my money back after I shipped them back their materials. Many other ARE Candidates, Firms, and AIA are really upset about Brightwood Architecture's ARE 5.0 scam. Here is my chart outlining how they have turned and reprinted all the ARE 4.0 study materials in 3 different books... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ojHoQpBaU7ESOai-T1bt9U1gBDL98ci1LmRCMfC-whw/edit?usp=drive_web&ouid=113823595970065378712 Please sign the petition and share your Brightwood experience as the comment.

  • Help London & Paris speak out!
    I recently boarded my animals in a facility in Gahanna, Ohio over the 4th of July weekend while I was in Las Vegas on my honeymoon. My animals were sick while I was gone and the facility failed to contact me to make me aware of the situation. They clearly state that the facility is required to contact the pets owners upon showing any signs of distress or illness. I was charged double boarding charges when my animals boarded in the same kennel. They said those charges are for the care of the animals. They also charged me $20 per dog due to it being a holiday weekend and them paying for extra help. When I arrived to pick them up they were covered in feces and urine. The receptionist even had gloves on when she brought them to us, meaning she had to have known they were disgusting. When I told them the dogs were covered in feces and urine they said they were gonna go wipe them off. They brought them back still with feces on them. They took them back a second time per my request and didn't even offer to bathe them. An hour after I got them home, I noticed they had really bad sneezing, coughing, fevers, lethargy, and the runs; not to mention I told the receptionist that one of my animals had green eye funk and she wiped it and ignored it. Clearly, that meant infection. Now its been 2 days and they have full blown kennel cough or upper respiratory infections. Why did they let them come home this sick? There are other reviews on YELP stating a man nearly lost his dog due to this facility administering the same shot to his animal 4 times because they couldn't keep the medical records straight. So many people say this place is more worried about how fat their pockets are vs sincere animal care. This place doesn't deserve to be open.

  • Make All Messenger Calls From Facebook Optional
    For years, several people, including myself, have made requests to Facebook to be able to disable all Messenger calls from Facebook on our phones and be able to turn off all voice and video calls completely. Many people feel that their privacy is violated and are irked by being woken up at 3 or 4 in the morning by strangers calling them on their phones using Facebook Messenger. Despite all of the complaints I saw on a thread a few years ago, Facebook not only did nothing to solve the issue, they actually closed the thread so additional comments could no longer be added to this thread. This is seriously virtually harassing people since many have reported being woken up by strangers calling them at 3 or 4 am on Facebook Messenger and several others have also commented on not even being able to do a simple task on their phone without being interrupted by yet another Messenger call from some stranger on Facebook. There isn't even an option to log out of this application, and despite setting your status to inactive and muting all notifications on this app, it still makes an annoying noise when someone who tried to video-call you on your phone hangs up. This violates our privacy. If a telemarketer knocks on our door trying to sell a product, we've always had the option to be able to shut the door and walk away without being bothered by a telemarketer. And if they did try to bother us again and again by knocking on our door at 3 or 4 am, we could call the police and get them arrested. This is not the case with Facebook Messenger, and I think we should still have the right to be able to walk away and not be bothered by intruders, whether it's in person or virtually. Therefore I think we should get our voices heard, so we don't have to hear unwanted voice calls (especially at 3 am) due to disgracebook violating people's privacy and ignoring several complaints to fix this issue. Feel free to sign my other petition that addresses the same issue on a different site. https://www.change.org/p/facebook-petition-for-turning-off-facebook-messenger-calls-completely?recruiter=641097989&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition&utm_term=share_petition Also, great minds petition alike. Someone else made a petition for the same thing. Yay.

  • The People of Heritage Meadows say No to the New sign!
    The Homeowners Association that covers the houses and the condo/townhouse wants a total renovation of the signs at the front entrances at a cost of $200 per household. This is a high cost for something that does not need to be updated.

  • #BoycottWalmart FOR "MAGA" Merchandise!
    On July 3rd, 2018, there was a #BoycottWalmart when shoppers saw merchandise reading "Impeach 45" available online from the superstore. We need to #BoycottWalmart because Walmart sells merchandise reading "Make America Great Again"- a campaign slogan from Donald Trump. This slogan is being adapted by hate groups to justify their violent attacks on non-white Americans. "MAGA" merchandise and other hate symbols are being worn by the alt-right hate groups and Walmart contributes to promoting their image. Walmart proved today by removing the shirts reading "Impeach 45" Walmart is selectively choosing which shoppers' 1st Amendment rights matter more than others. Americans need to have their voices heard. Walmart needs to pull all products saying "Make America Great Again." Walmart is a store for all Americans and should not sell one version of politics to their shoppers. Despite a recent shooting in a Walmart store in Tumwater, Washington past June, 2018- Walmart continues to sell guns despite the rise in mass shootings. #BoycottWalmart for not taking a stand against the violence and racism the "Make America Great Again" merchandise sends to hate groups by a current president who claimed racist protesters were "good people" just last August, 2017. #BoycottWalmart for selling MAGA merchandise and guns while the current President has not made an effort to stop mass shootings. Walmart, like President Trump, has made no effort to stop gun violence in America. #BoycottWalmart until they stop selling the politically, racially charged "Make America Great Again" merchandise. Please sign and share this petition to make every executive at Walmart hear our voices loud and clear!

  • Corporations Are Not People Too
    In Citizens United (for-profit corporations given the right of free speech) and Hobby Lobby (for-profit corporations given the right of religious freedom), the Supreme Court fundamentally changed the relationship between corporate interests and individual interests, increasing by orders of magnitude the power of corporations over our lives and our government. The most expeditious way to address this imbalance is to deny those individual rights to California corporations and corporations doing business in California (i.e., the 5th largest economy in the world).

  • Amazon: Stop Criminally Abusing Animals
    Amazon is the largest online retailer in the world, shipping to over 300 million homes. In addition to selling foie gras, cockfighting supplies, and other products that are illegal in many cities and states for animal cruelty, Amazon now sends groceries including supposedly "humane" animal products through Amazon Fresh. But Direct Action Everywhere investigated an Amazon supplying egg farm in California and found the farm's one million hens crowded together in noxious air. Many of the birds were unable to reach food or water and were slowly starving to death. Other birds were already dead and rotting inside the shed. This is criminal animal abuse and Amazon is shipping this cruelty to homes around the world with the ease of one click. We need to demand change now before Amazon's factory farms take over the grocery market.

  • Whole Foods: Drop the Charges Against Ateret and Wayne
    Two activists are being charged for simply asking Whole Foods a question. Wayne Hsiung and 16-year-old Ateret Goldman asked where Whole Foods gets their animal products, but employees refused to give them an answer and instead called the police. Now, Wayne is being charged with “threatening bodily injury,” and the nationwide litigation counsel for Whole Foods sent a letter to the prosecutor alleging that the two engaged in “abusive conduct.” This resulted in an effort to remove Ateret from their family! Whole Foods claims they care about transparency, but repeated DxE investigations of Whole Foods’ supposedly “humane” farms have found thousands of diseased and dying animals crowded together in dark sheds. When questioned about these findings, Whole Foods refuses to explain the abuses and, instead, arrests customers for asking. These ridiculous charges need to be dropped!

  • Boycott Major League Baseball All Star Game, July 17, 2018
    I believe many Americans are torn by the words and actions of the President. They want to act but don't know what they can do to stop this administration's fascist agenda. Fox News is the primary news source for most of Trump's base. Targeting the All Star Game's sponsors, clubs and players will bring more attention to the Fox Network and it's role in the Trump narrative.
