Jordan, the incumbent since 2007 has never passed a single piece of legislation. He is a well funded, Koch financed, pro Citizens United Congressman. Democracy itself is at stake when an incumbent can be virtually guaranteed perpetual reelection, regardless of no legislative success, due to ties to big business, Wall Street and lobbyists and the ability therefore to raise unlimited donations.

My mother has been a missing person from 1993 forward and she is still not found....there was no technology TO HELP THEN......there is now, lets utilize it, and help all the missing persons...we NEED AN ALERT SYSTEM FOR ADULTS ALSO.

At a major religious-right conference, Republican Senator David Perdue implied that Christians should pray for President Obama to die. "We need to be very specific about how we pray" for President Obama, Perdue said. "We should pray like Psalms 109:8 says: 'Let his days be few, and let another have his office.'" The very next verse of Psalm 109 is: "Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow." For years, this passage of scripture has circulated among religious-right extremists who advocate "imprecatory prayer" - asking God to kill President Obama. Senator Perdue's staff is now backpedaling, claiming that isn't what he meant, but so far he's refusing to apologize for his hateful misuse of the Bible.

Donald Trump has said that Judge Gonzalo Curiel can't fairly consider the fraud case against Trump University because of his Mexican heritage. This outrageous criticism was aimed at Judge Curiel, an Indiana-born, highly esteemed judge who was initially appointed by a Republican governor. And Trump followed up by saying that Muslim judges would also not be suitable to consider a case brought against Trump. This is the definition of racism. And while Republican leaders like Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell have expressed their concern, they are still standing by their endorsement of the presumptive Republican nominee. This week, another Republican Senate candidate, Mark Kirk from Illinois, publicly renounced his support of Donald Trump over these latest racist comments. You can't have it both ways. If you consider Trump's views racist, declare that he's unfit for the presidency—and revoke your endorsement of him, declaring you will not support him in November. If you don't, then you are standing on the side of racism.

Proyecto Jardin is a garden in Boyle Heights that has been sustained and managed by community members for over 15 years. At the garden we maintain over 60 fruit trees, grow fresh organic produce, host fitness classes, nutrition classes, and workshops on medicinal herbs. In addition to harvesting food, we cultivate healing relationships among the residents in our community.

The recently-signed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) was negotiated behind closed doors with hundreds of corporate advisors. It would make it easier to offshore good jobs, push down our wages, and undermine essential climate policies, affordable medicines, safe food, human rights & an open Internet. The proposed TPP trade agreement should never pass, and especially not be voted on during the “lame duck” session of Congress after the election — that unique moment in the political calendar when Representatives who have retired or been voted out of office still hold their seats for a short time and political accountability to constituents is at its lowest. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and countless other progressive leaders have announced opposition to a lame duck vote on the TPP. But House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi has refused to take a position. Her public position will have enormous influence on how other House Democrats vote.

To save innocent children and their families from the legal abuse that the department of human resources and the courts are committing against fit and loveing families by Kidnapping our kids and violating our God given and civil rights in order to collect government funds, services, and child support. Parents need to be aware of the truth so families can protect themselves and raise their children that God blessed them with without interference. To give the people back their God given rights and our Constitutional rights that they have swore to uphold. Stop the abuse of all our children and fight for our Country to be free at last. Our Children's lives and futures are being destroyed everyday for reasons like a human resource employee may not agree with a parenting style, or they may say that they think that it's possible the child is at potential risk of being neglected in the future though there has never been any neglect in the past. This should never be reason to remove a child from their safe fit home and loving family, placed into government foster care where the chances of them being sexually, physically, abused, and or even killed. This is not uncommon in foster care. It happens everyday. Our prison population is made up of 85% of former foster children that live with the devastation of being torn from their families as a child and alienated from their loved ones. It's causes the child much more harm and places them a much higher risk more than doubling their chances of suffering from neglect, abuse, death and in almost all cases as an adult their potential is never met in life. The majority of the unemployed, Homeless, addicts, and violent offenders come from foster care. This is information collected by government statistics yet they are still funding these crimes. Our children are our lives, our futures and the civil rights garenteed to all Americans or God's supreme law and rights should not be a thing of the past. Who are we to judge lest we be judged? Fact Dhr, Cps, and organizations that deal with foster placement are paid to remove children from their parents and lives but they are not paid to leave them in their own homes with their families nor do they get paid to return them. This is a multi-billion dollar business in the United States. U.S children are a higher profitable commodity than crack cocaine and heroin. The demand for this commodity is growing . That means that your child is at high risk of being abducted into state foster care and the majority of children are placed on psychological mind altering black boxed drugs that change the chemical make up in their developing brains. Do not think that it's unlikely that your child and family will become the target of such an unimaginable horrific and devastating tragedy because everyday their is a high demand for kids in order for Dhr to receive funding and create more jobs for their employees. This is not a God send. It is a business making profit off of taking away our future and the greatest God sent gifts we have. This has to stop! This is abuse in every sense at its highest and worst but it will continue as long as we let it. Some where there has got to be a line drawn. Our homes is a good place to start if you care about the safety of your children. Please do the research your self. You will be horrified at what you find. Google medical kidnapping in the U.S or legal kidnapping. Get the facts before your child's life is in the hands of some one who is getting paid to abduct them. Please before another child suffers this devastation stand up and say no more will we let you destroy our family and our lives. You would research someone's past before giving them a loan so research it before giving them your child. The proof is there and all you have to do is google it. Don't let what has been done to my child and countless others happen to yours. Learn your constitutional rights and fight to put an end to child trafficking. God bless us all.

Recently, officials from the Nyack Hospital have shown plans to the Building Department to replace the little league field at the corner of Midland Ave and Haven Ct. with a parking lot for hospital employees. But this isn't the hospital's property--it's owned by Nyack School District and leased to BOCES--and there has been no public discussion by the school board about selling or leasing this property for a parking lot, so why would the hospital already have parking lot plans for the site? Seeing this treasured community recreation space turned into a parking lot would be a huge loss for the children and families of our community, not to mention the drastic impact on quality of life for people in the neighborhood. Help us convince the school board to tell the hospital, "no deal."

Recently there was a recommendation to tear down the fences on the block of the Commonwealth Mall between Charlesgate East and Mass Ave. The point was to save money and save the grass. Signers of this petition take exception to that as we value security over grass. The plethora of car, bike, pedestrian accidents near the park is a burden on our block. The fence has prevented many cars from crashing onto the lawn and injuring or mortally harming those in the park. Without the fence, less community members would be able to safely use the park without the thread of harm. While arguments are made that other blocks don't have the fence, they also don't have the high traffic caused by Storrow Drive, Mass Ave, the Fens and Kenmore Square converging into one intersection. Please help us keep the Fence by signing below. Say NO to fence removal.
