This petition is to eliminate WV motor vehicle inspection. Every year I personally, and many other West Virginians, struggle to get a WV motor vehicle inspection to make our vehicle legal. It's not because our cars are junk or a major hazard to be on the road, it's over petty things such as window tint or because the inspection stations do not want to take time out of their busy day to do a vehicle inspection in which they make no money. This leads to the shops charging us for unnecessary repairs so that they can make some money. Too many West Virginians cannot afford to keep their older vehicles on the road when new car standards are required by inspections or inspection stations are just trying to make a little money.

Mr. Sam Olens Attorney General State of Georgia Chief Turner Atlanta Police Department Mr Paul Howard Fulton County District Attorney Dear Parties Stated Above: We would respectfully like to ask you to have all appropriate divisions investigate the Fulton County Animal Service's handling of the abuse and ultimate death of Puppy Caleb. Puppy Caleb was found on August 10, 2016 at 1449 Murray Street, Atlanta GA – he was beaten, raped, starved, had cigarette burns all over his body, broken jaw and was thrown over a high fence at this location which resulted in a fractured skull – he was approximately 4 months old. This was on the news – with a video of him at the animal hospital crying in pain. He ultimately died – his injuries too much for his little body to overcome. Now the Fulton County Animal Services released a statement saying there was no evidence of him being abused. How could that possibly be? The horror that this poor puppy endured in his short life deserves more than sweeping the facts under the rug to avoid having to deal with the people that are seeking Justice for Caleb. We want this monster brought to justice – it is a proven fact that violence of serial killer begins with the abuse of animals – it could be a child or elderly person next. Please consider having your office look into this most serious matter.

As you can see, there are an additional 12,000 plus signatures demanding justice for precious Caleb. Please we beg you for justice for the puppy who is now our "nation's" puppy!

Those of us who live in Staunton or work in the downtown area, we know how it works, we know where to park, how long we can stay there, and many of us have our parking passes. BUT, let's focus on the people who do not come here every day, the tourist, the county person, or the out of town shopper, they need time to shop and grab a bite to eat. Two hours does not allot enough time to do this. I know many people come into our store only to leave early because of having to move the car. Some say they return but most of the time they do not. Once in the car, they usually leave, taking their dollars with them. Extending the parking limit to 4 hours would give people enough time to shop, eat, and maybe even catch a movie.

This is a petition to get rid of blight in the New Orleans East area, namely Hearthwood East Condominiums site. The condominiums were torn down post Katrina. Eleven years later, the site at 5505 Bundy Road is a crime inducing, Zika mosquito breeding site and an eyesore. Grass grows into the street, blocking cars. It is located next to a bustling post office, and is across from modern, well kept homes of middleclass residents, and is adjacent to thriving neighborhood businesses. New Orleans has a 311 number and a code enforcement number 658-4346, 658-5050 for residents to call. Our Wimbledon Civic Association has called for several years asking for the property grounds to be cut and fumigated. There is currently a hole in the street manhole, right across from the property at Bundy and Tilford. We cannot get it repaired so the problem with that neglected site is increasing. Residents have been on television several times asking the city to cut the grass but to no avail. Today, I telephoned and left a message with code enforcement that I have been tasked by our Civic Association to write a petition. When it rains heavily, this overgrown site causes street flooding. The site has now become a tire dumping, zika mosquito breeding health hazard. We ask all concerned citizens to please sign this petition for our officials to take action right a way to get the grass cut, debris cleared and land fumigated, at 5505 Bundy Road, New Orleans, Louisiana 70127. Thank you, Connie Hamilton, Wimbledon Civic Association

We, over 1200 residents of Heritage Village Manufactured Home Park in Beaverton, Oregon, are being unconscionably forced from our homes so that Property Managers can generate more profit by leveling our structures and replacing them with new homes. Many of us are disabled, elderly on fixed incomes or otherwise unable to upgrade our properties within the 30 day time period demanded by unscrupulous management. We agree that beautification efforts are a plus and do support community improvements, however, terminations for house colors, picket fencing, faded posts, firewood placement, etc is not only wrong but is harassing and exposes the worst aspects of business greed.

We, the Ethiopian Community members residing in the state of Colorado, would like to thank the honorable US Congressman, Mike Coffman, for his Support and dedication.Like most other States in the US, the Ethiopian community in Colorado isdemonstrating on humanitarian, democracy, social and economic issue and concerns that we have back at home in Ethiopia. Therefore,Congressman Mike Coffman is always with us to share our sadness and any injustice in Ethiopia.

I go to PG-13 movies with my children and previews of horror movies cause them to cover their eyes, ears, and cower in fear but they cannot escape the spooky sights and sounds being thrown at them!

In the 2012 election, registered voters from Tillicum turned out at a 10 percent lower rate than the rest of Pierce County. Voters from this community have expressed time and again that having a ballot box in their neighborhood will make it much more likely that they participate in our democracy. We need a ballot box in Tillicum now.

The race for the 98th Assembly seat has taken a turn that defies belief. Karl Brabenec has proven himself unfit for office. Background- United Monroe is a grassroots political movement based in Monroe NY. It has a board of directors that vote on political endorsements. It began 4 years ago when the Monroe government bought a movie theater over the objections of the residents. It has since grown into a political movement that has stopped the KJ annexation, overturned a corrupt Monroe town board, sued to open up election practices in Orange County and 2 years ago garnered over 9000 votes for its Assembly candidate. That election put United Monroe on the map as a political force that must be reckoned with as a counter weight to the Bloc vote coming out of the village of Kiryas Joel. United Monroe is not an official political party like the Republican or Democratic Party. In order to obtain that status a Party must obtain a significant number of votes for Governor. United Monroe has never endorsed for Governor. United Monroe has always been about free and fair elections, open government, fighting corruption, protecting the environment, sustainable smart development, open space preservation, protecting our schools and giving every citizen the right to be represented by elected officials not beholden to corrupt voting Blocs that subvert the best interests of the population for their own benefit. It has been on the ballot each year since its founding as an independent party. United Monroe rejected the candidacy of Karl Brabenec. They felt that anyone who would vote not to empower the monitor of the East Ramapo School District with the power to help those children was unworthy of support. They felt that anyone who would stagger up to a microphone and tell a packed house of over 1000 people that making a decision on the Annexation of Town of Monroe land into the power of the corrupt religious oligarchy that is the Village of Kyrias Joel “is hard”, is unworthy of support. They felt that his sponsored bills were incompetent and his “me too” attachment to bills written by effective legislators was pathetic. United Monroe endorsed one of its founding members, John Allegro to run for the seat. United Monroe passed petitions for John Allegro to run for office under its banner, obtaining almost 2200 signatures. The chairwoman of United Monroe arrived at the Board of Elections today to turn in the petitions only to find that Karl Brabanec had already submitted petitions stealing the United Monroe name for his own. It seems logical to assume that he and his minions went door to door getting signatures by obfuscating the name of their supposed party or by claiming to be the United Monroe endorsed candidate. He is a thief. He is attempting to steal the good name and the good will of United Monroe. He knows that he is certain to lose the Republican Primary against John Allegro unless he can confuse the electorate about who he is and who supports him. The candidate willing to do anything to win is unworthy of the office he seeks. Reject Brabanec and everything he stands for. Corruption. Confusion. Spinelessness. Incompetence.

[Español abajo] I, as an Arkansas resident and/or benefactor of the Civic Center in Springdale, wish to affirm for the Arkansas Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Commission that Mr. Eddie Vega is an upstanding citizen and businessman, and the Civic Center is valued by the Northwest Arkansas community. Mr. Vega's generous contributions to area nonprofits and the Arkansas Children's Hospital have had a tremendous, positive imprint on Arkansas, with deep reverberations across various communities. Mr. Vega's economic impact has been just as significant, and is considered a well-recognized Hispanic leader and entrepreneur, establishing some of Arkansas' most successful businesses in multiple markets. As such, I respectfully ask that the ABC Commission give favorable consideration to the Civic Center and Mr. Eddie Vega at their August 17th hearing.

Donald Trump announced yesterday that, if elected president, he would enact an extreme "vetting" test to determine if the values of those seeking to enter the U.S. are so-called American values. He claims his test would expose those who have "hostile attitudes" towards America. Yet we know that his proposal is fueled by racism and xenophobia. Our country already has a test immigrants take when they apply for citizenship—one that tests their knowledge of American history and civics. So, before Trump gets to propose a new, xenophobic test, I challenge him to take the one that already exists. I believe Trump would almost certainly fail this test, given his general ignorance and weak grasp of basic facts about American history, principles, and functioning of our government. His entire political career—beginning with his absurd and dangerous campaign to discredit President Obama—has been built around alienating other Americans. The fact is, Donald Trump is nothing more than a spoiled, unpatriotic drain on society who has earned nothing and helped no one.

Cable companies like Direct TV, Time Warner Cable, Comcast, Dish and others should allow the option to remove FOX News as a network that is paid for. I want to stop my money from the fees I pay for my cable from going to FOX News.
