I am a teacher of 30 years, who has seen the effects of staying up late and eating too much candy the night before. Many students come to school either wired on sugar or sometimes even absent due to staying up late on Halloween. Also, many working parents have difficulty getting home from work in time to get their children ready for the Trick or Treating hours.

https://www.change.org/p/montana-governor-steve-bullock-montana-attorney-general-tim-fox-please-end-the-wrongful-prosecution-of-matthew-ryan-ailer We are the loving supporters of Matthew Ryan Ailer, who has been wrongfully charged with obtaining or exerting unauthorized control over workers’ compensation benefits. We believe that Matthew has been wrongfully charged based on the lack of knowledge and understanding of his medical conditions and based on an unreliable felon. Even though Matthew did not commit this crime, he has suffered emotionally and psychologically as a result of this baseless criminal charge. We have helplessly watched him suffer for years, and it’s very sad and heartbreaking to see him unfold and suffer with no end in sight. While working for Garden City Janitorial as a General Manager, Matthew was in two work-related accidents. In the first accident, Matthew swerved from hitting another vehicle and collided with a guardrail with the company work van. This began the long road of medical conditions that currently affect him today. The second accident involved a burnisher and exacerbated his medical conditions. This accident is where we believe the prosecutor wrongfully alleges misconduct. As a result of those two work-related accidents, his doctors have diagnosed him with PTSD, Conversion Disorder, and Major Depression Disorder. For Matthew to get treatment for those medical conditions, his general doctor asked several times for him to see the proper doctors for his conditions and was denied by Montana State Fund each and every time. We believe that Montana State Fund and the prosecutor wrongfully alleges misconduct without any evidence of wrongdoing. In fact, it’s the complete opposite of what is alleged and we believe that a limited knowledge and understanding of his medical conditions continue to play into this belief of misconduct. After being denied by Montana State Fund, Matthew travelled to Seattle, Washington from Missoula, Montana to see specialists at a rehabilitation facility in order to get the proper treatment for his medical conditions. Matthew and his family had to use private insurance and also had to pay out of pocket for his medical care in Seattle. He then returned back to Missoula to his treating doctors and medical exercise program. Although Matthew vastly improved while in Seattle, he had some setbacks when he returned to Missoula. He has suffered and continues to suffer immensely since his work-related accidents, and there are many days he feels hopeless and worthless because of his medical conditions. On top of these medical conditions, he now has to face a baseless criminal charge, which has worsened his overall well-being. Not only does Matthew have to cope with his medical conditions he has to go through an unfounded criminal charge. After reading the charging documents, we feel that it contains false information, outright lies, usage of words that were taken out of context, and false information that has nothing to do with the actual charge. Why use flimsy evidence, false information, a deceitful felon, and a limited understanding of Matthew’s medical conditions to charge him? Why use this tactic to get a criminal charge against Matthew? We believe it was used because he has no criminal background and has never been charged with any crime. With the support of family, friends, his dogs, and other supporters, we believe this will give Matthew faith that he will improve and get through this unfounded criminal charge that he did not commit. The prosecutor even offered him a plea deal in court and he rejected that deal. We will stand by Matthew, whom we love and support as he fights to the end so that the truth will be heard. We are asking for supporters to stand beside Matthew and support him in this very distressing time in his life. Please join us and ask the prosecutor, Mary Cochenour, to drop this charge against him. If this goes to trial, we encourage everyone to come to Helena, Montana and listen to the evidence that will be presented in court. Medical doctors and other witnesses will be there to prove without a doubt that Matthew is innocent. Thank you for reading and signing this petition! Update - Trial Date and Location: According to Lewis and Clark County District Court Records, Matthew’s trial will start December 7th. The trial will take place at the Court House located at 228 Broadway Street in Helena, Montana. Update - Medical Condition - Conversion Disorder: Conversion disorder, also called functional neurological symptom disorder, is a condition in which you show psychological stress in physical ways. The condition was so named to describe a health problem that starts as a mental or emotional crisis — a scary or stressful incident of some kind — and converts to a physical problem. For example, in conversion disorder, your leg may become paralyzed after you fall from a horse, even though you weren't physically injured. Conversion disorder signs and symptoms appear with no underlying physical cause, and you can't control them. Signs and symptoms of conversion disorder typically affect your movement or your senses, such as the ability to walk, swallow, see or hear. Conversion disorder symptoms can vary in severity and may come and go or be persistent. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/conversion-disorder/basics/definition/con-20029533 http://www.fndhope.org/functional-neurological-disorder-2/what-is-fnd/ Update - Medical Conditions - PTSD and Major Depression: To learn about PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) please see: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/post-traumatic-stress-disorder/basics/definition/con-20022540 To learn about Major Depression Disorder please see: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/depression/basics/definition/con-20032977

Recently Katie Brown, of Daytona Beach, Florida posted a picture of her Chocolate Lab with his mouth duct taped on Facebook with the caption " this is what happens when you don't shut up". This photo went viral internationally in addition to sparking thousands of calls to law enforcement and the media. The photo has been reported to Facebook they refuse to take it down stating that it does not depict violence and does not violate their "community standards ". Katie Brown refuses to remove the photo and Local authorities and animal service hotlines have been flooded with calls since the picture was posted. Please help us get this horrible image removed from Facebook and have their security department reevaluate their standards. This is appalling.

Because I live on a corner, I am subjected to foot traffic on three sides of my home. The neighborhood in which I live has many families living in single-family homes. They allow their pets to roam off-leash and some keep their pet in their front yard which faces my back yard. Neighbor's cats wander the streets constantly. My dogs are my life. Not having sufficient barrier between us and constant traffic is a major concern. I believe I have the right to keep myself and my pets as safe as other homes who do not live on a corner. In fact, I would say that I deserve more protection because I do live on a corner.

I'm starting this petition because I need to show people what happens after a subject line test. And I don't see a way to do that without a live mailing.

I am quite serious about this and I hope that the following will clarify my choices and concerns: Why Congressman McDermott? First of all, he is my Congressman. In a grander sense, he is also the Congressman of many of those who feel that their elected representative does not speak for them. He has always spoken his mind without fear, often leaving him a lone voice in the wilderness. In short, I think he may be one of the very few members of Congress who would have the courage to introduce this legislation. Why pre-emptive legislation? Yes, the chances are good that legislation of this nature will be circumvented to some degree. But having these limitations already in place will at the very least require that they are acknowledged, even if they are completely evaded. On being interned close to home Ideally, I’d prefer that my concentration camp be within the confines of my Congressional District for a variety of reasons. I know where they sent people last time, and I have no doubt that some pretty grim locations can be found in this state; but at least when I escape, I’ll never be more than a few weeks walk from home. Contemplating the rumors (I wouldn’t argue too much if you were to call them wild and/or unfounded) of massive federal compounds in the Deep South, ready and waiting for an instant influx of hundreds of thousands of residents, is disturbing enough. If we find out they are real, it will only be after their first inhabitants have already been transferred there; in other words, after it’s too late. What would trigger this limitation? When citizens (ideally, residents) are required or coerced to move to a secured location against their will and/or better judgement, and without the due process set out by the Constitution of the United States of America. “Without due process” is when due process is suspended, delayed or denied. The reason given for the mass relocation is immaterial; protecting the internees from the (justifiably) angry general populace is invariably one of the first used. A final caveat, internees will be the only arbiter of their Congressional District or territory of residency.

Panhandlers or beggars on street corners cause traffic to be slowed or impeded. Every time a driver stops to give money or other forms of assistance, the normal flow of traffic is disturbed. Making it illegal to do this from your car while on a public street would help curb the problems associated with the panhandlers.

Some of you may know, that in April, Time Warner Cable ran lines into our town but for some reason, are not offering service. I just spoke with the Office of the President of Time Warner Cable to get this issue escalated and hopefully get them in our town so we can get rid of the horrible Frontier Service. She advised in the meantime, anyone who is interested in service to either email the office @ [email protected] or Call 212-364-8300 Option 2. The more people we have contact and would be willing to switch to Time Warner Cable, the faster they will hopefully get the service going in out town! Please share this out so we can tell Frontier to get out of our town!

Southern Colorado rancher Tom Davis sold nearly 1,800 wild horses for slaughter in New Mexico he purchased from the Bureau of Land Management....BLM claims no knowledge of this transaction for the slaughter of the horses. No charges are being filed for this crime. It is only right that a federal crime be appropriately paid for; what better way than to improve the Wild Horses environments in the holding pens.

At age 11 children can take a babysitting class and get certified to care for other children; at age 12 they can take a gun safety class and legally handle firearms; at age 14, in the state of South Dakota, they can drive a car without an adult present (to certain locations). All these activities put children in the position of making life and death decisions that impact their own well being as well as others, yet they are not considered competent enough to decide which parent they want to live with in custody situations. It is absurd and needs to change. My own children were victims of physical and emotional abuse, and neglect. Their voices were silenced by a system that chose to believe a slick abuser over the voices of the children. I was bullied and intimidated by that same system for trying to speak up for them and protect them. There needs to be a paradigm shift from focusing on parental rights to focusing on children's rights. Abusers shouldn't be able to use the guise of "custody battle" as an opportunity to get away with abuse and not have it be believed. Giving children their own voice and their own choice takes the power away from abusers, and away from judges who all too frequently make bad decisions that cost children something they can never get back -their childhood.
