My son Jason is a sophomore at SHS and is one of the older students in 10th grade. Jason and many other sophomores are involved in multiple after school activities. We don't think it's fair that these students that have their driver's licenses are denied the ability to drive to school. There are plenty of parking spaces available that no one is using.

Keepseagle Class Action Lawsuit was a discrimination case against the US Department of Agriculture settled for $760 Million for Native American Farmers. $380 Million remains unpaid out. It should go directly to Native American Farmers and NOT indirectly through "newly formed" Nonprofits (not meeting the original Cy Pres requirements of having served class members prior to the settlement) and Universities for Agricultural Programs and Service workshops and seminars. Thousands of Native American Farmers were denied and continue to be denied an opportunity to participate due to lack of/poor outreach and Federal policies which fail to fully recognize and provide programs & services to State Recognized and Non-Federally Recognized Tribes . Pay the Farmers NOT Nonprofits! #NoTrustInKeepseagle #TellJoeNo #PayTheFarmers I have been contacted by Ms. Beverly Collins Hall (American Indian Mothers) who represents 30 prevailing claimants, as well as 1000's of denied claimants and potential claimants to provide advocacy and outreach to Native American Farmers in North Carolina and Nationwide because they have been done a great disservice by the US Department of Agriculture and Keepeagle Class Counsel. Too many (thousands) of Native American Farmers (as defined in the Keepseagle class action lawsuit who do not meant the eligibility criteria as established and defined as "Native American Farmers" according to the USDA Office of Tribal Relations thus the discrimination at USDA continues) who have been left behind and left out of the Keepseagle Settlement process. It took an Act of Congress for Black Farmers who were denied an opportunity to participate in the Black Farmers case hence there was a Black Farmers Late Filers (2nd round) claims process which compensated over 17,000 additional Black Farmers . Unlike the Black Farmers case, Keepseagle has $380 million leftover so funds remain available and there should be a Keepseagle II not requiring an Act of Congress or additional funding. Native American Farmers are still losing land/farms and struggling to be competitive. Please help us tell Keepeagle Class Counsel Joe Sellers and U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan - Keepseagle for Farmers NOT Nonprofits! We don't need Trustees!!!

Our Constitution demands that Stephen F. Austin, with all colleges nation wide, respect and give way to a student's right of choice, and that that choice not be made under duress and intimidation masked through "policy" If your RIGHT to a choice has been denied, and your money taken by a college you're attending, or have attended, or maybe you know someone who has been violated by a mandatory meal plan policy, or you simply know this is not right, then join me in petitioning our officials: local, state, federal, and even the President, to protect american college students from these bullies and restore the college student's constitutional right to freedom of CHOICE!!! I am a Mother... of a student attending Stephen F. Austin University (Texas) who is being forced to pay for a meal plan she does not want or need. The policy is that every student who resides on campus is obligated to purchase a $1,478.00 meal plan (per semester). That's about $3,000 a year. Most college students will have acquired about $20,000 of debt in just their first year alone! So, why are they forced to shell out $3,000 a year for something that they neither want or need? At the end of the day, anyway you slice it, it is the responsibility of the student and not the university to repay the debt. RIGHT??? So how is the mandatory meal plan a benefit to the educational goal of the student? The universities cannot define that personally for the student. They can only define how it will benefit the university, and they are doing that by fattening their wallets! Not even elementary, middle, or high school students, are forced to participate in a "mandatory" lunch plan; and they are minors! If children have the right to eat in the cafeteria, bring their lunch, or go to lunch with mom or dad, should not college students, who are legally adults, be given and entrusted with the right to choose where they eat and how they pay for it? What the universities are doing, and indeed have been given the right to do, is not only "UNJUST" but cruel, unusual, ridiculous,and "LEGAL THEFT"... When is an american citizen not given the right /freedom to choose how their money is spent?? Mandatory meal plans threaten and insult not only the very reason why our soldiers honorably fight and give their lives, but clearly belittle the intelligence of the student, by quietly telling them "You are not capable handling the responsibility of choosing what you eat." Our constitution demands that mandatory meal plans be "ABOLISHED" from all universities, and demand that they give respect and choice back to the students--the very reason they even have jobs. I am asking, that you fight with me to eliminate mandatory meal plans not only from Stephen F. Austin University ( Texas), but Colleges everywhere in America. IT IS MY MONEY!!!! - Mae Blondell

From MoveOn.org to the Nation magazine, progressives have clearly chosen Bernie Sanders as their candidate. It's time for Elizabeth Warren to be true to her own politics and make clear she endorses Bernie Sanders.

We, the homeowners and members of the San Lorenzo Village Homes Association, do not agree with the organization San Lorenzo Village Homes Association's revision to the fence policy that was mailed out to us in the December 2015 Village Briefs. We do not want this revision to pass. This is a waste of everyone's time and money.

The current chair of the Democratic Party is not only ignoring the people who have been long-time members of the party, but she is also failing to even discuss her intentions with her own co-chairs. The rank and file of the Democratic Party may well fail to show up to vote which could result in the next presidential election going to the GOP. Don't wait and see if that happens. Take action now to remove her since she refuses the hundreds of thousands of requests and petitions for her to step down. Leaving Debra Wasserman Shultz continue to serve as Chair of the DNC is the biggest threat to returning any valuable democratic leaders to not only the House, but also the Senate and the Presidency.

This petition is stating that the members and homeowners of the San Lorenzo Village Homes Association do not agree with the new fence policy revisions. We do not want this new revision to pass into law.

A lot of the residents from the District of Columbia are tired of being treated as second-class citizens. Congress has the power to redefine the district's borders and shrink its size as they did before in 1846. This action will give the 646,000 residents of the State of New Columbia the full rights of citizenship that they have been denied for over two centuries.

Ted Cruz has clearly violated the FEC's disclosure rules, and he should be investigated, fined, and held accountable. The New York Times reports that Ted Cruz failed to disclose to the Federal Election Commission that Goldman Sachs loaned him hundreds of thousands of dollars to finance his 2012 campaign for the U.S. Senate. The Times wrote: “such a disclosure might have conveyed the wrong impression for his candidacy,” given that he was “campaigning as a populist firebrand who criticized Wall Street bailouts.” But regardless of why he did it, Cruz needs to be held accountable. And with millions of dollars in special interest money lined up on both sides of the upcoming election, the FEC needs to send a message NOW to potential rulebreakers. That's why it's so important that they conduct a full investigation into Ted Cruz's failed disclosure and hold him accountable for violating campaign finance rules.
