  • BAN Raves In LA County!!!!!
    "If the county wants to make money while people are dying and medically compromised they should just come out and say it." Dr. Philip Fagan Jr., Emergency Department Director at LA Good Samaritan Hospital (LA Times Article 8/8/15) We the undersigned believe that Raves should be banned from taking place in Los Angeles County, especially on land that is owned and/or partially owned by Los Angeles County. The Rave held on August 1 and 2, 2015 at FAIRPLEX, in Pomona, resulted in at least two tragic deaths. Also at least 49 rave attendees were transported by ambulance to Emergency Rooms in several different hospitals in Los Angeles County. Many of these ended up in intensive care. Raves should also be banned as they cause numerous problems to residents who live in areas surrounding the FAIRPLEX. Since the last Rave at the Fairplex (August 1 & 2, 2015), physicians and Emergency Room Personnel have gone on the record against Raves, based on what they witnessed. According to an August 8, 2015 article in the LA Times written by Rong-Gong Lin II and Richard Winton, since 2006 there have been at least 20 drug related deaths from Raves. Almost half of those have been in southern California. Many doctors agree no matter how many precautions are taken by event organizers or emergency planners, they are not working and Raves should end. Here are statements made by Emergency Room Doctors and Nurses regarding first-hand experience with Raves according to the 8/8/15 LA Times article: Dr. Bradford Hardesty witnessed "quite a few who came in with drug-induced seizures. Some couldn't answer questions because they were so drugged. Some extremely aggressive patients had to be placed under constant care and under heavy sedation." Dr. Brian Johnston, Chairman of Emergency Medicine Department at White Memorial Medical Center in Los Angeles: From Raves, teens have come into his ER suffering from heart attacks. "You just don't see that from other events. This is a different animal. When they were doing them in the Coliseum, they had so many casualties that they hired their own ambulances to wait. They know what's going on." Laurie Sepke- ER Nurse at Pomona Valley Medical Center; " You have heat, you have a lot of energy drinks, alcohol, drugs that induce euphoria but also increase temperature and heart rate and blood pressure." Dr. Kenneth Nakamoto- ER Physician at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center; "Ravegoers get so agitated and confused that they can't be controlled.... And we ended up having to admit several to the intensive care unit....it really creates a dangerous situation." Dr. Marc Futernick, Emergency Services Medical Director at Dignity Health California Hospital Medical Center in Los Angeles; "There's something about these events that leads to this rampant drug abuse....and young adults are really getting hurt and paying the price." Speaking of his experience with ravegoers he notes "These were patients that were just really ill. Altered. Comatose. Requiring ventilatory support. Temperatures I've never seen with infections, only with this kind of drug abuse....there's no other way to describe it other than it will melt your organs and do damage to your organs to the point you will die." Dr. Philip Fagan Jr., Emergency Department Director at Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles: "If the county wants to make money while people are dying and medically compromised they should just come out and say it." In addition, many who live near Rave venues such as Fairplex in Pomona where the two day August Rave was held, experienced multiple problems such as: • Hours of nightmare traffic and air pollution from the miles of cars trying to enter and/or leave the area for the event; • Rave lights shows shining directly into residents’ homes; • Noise pollution including loud announcements, 65,000 people screaming, and hours of bass reverberation • Emergency vehicles and sirens in constant operation; • Scores of inebriated/stoned rave attendees invading quiet neighborhoods; • Rave attendees parking numerous cars on residential areas blocking streets and driveways; • Helicopters loudly circling above homes for hours day and night. • Personal property vandalized and many families consciously kept children indoors so as to not expose them to the unruly crowds that were disrespectful and irresponsible (like driving at top speeds through alleys, driving on the wrong side of the street or urinating on resident lawns) Please join us in banning Raves in Los Angeles County. It will help save lives and keep our communities peaceful and positive.

  • MoveOn, Endorse Bernie Sanders For President!
    Because the MoveOn administration is either not willing to support the majority will of the MoveOn community, or has a hidden agenda to support another candidate besides Bernie Sanders, that they are not publicly acknowledging. We cannot afford to let obstructionist members of the MoveOn staff subvert the will of the MoveOn community as a whole. MoveOn is either an organization for the community as a WHOLE, or it is sham.

  • "Republican Prejudice Towards Obama in America"
    Beginning 2007, the world witnessed the arrival of an exciting and fascinating political development -an unparalleled event that seemed unfathomable to comprehend in a society that had for centuries adopted a master-slave cult relationship - put forward the first African American petitioner to petition for the highest elective office in the world's most dominant hegemony since the pinnacle of Imperial Rome. As a Liberian political writer in the midst of such exhilarating life-changing event, I refused to sit by idly without writing about it. It's 400-page volume, precisely detailing "Republican Bigotry Towards Obama in America, " now languishing at the Partridge Africa Publishing for quite some time now, owning to the fact that I've defaulted in installment of fee to the company due to bad health, rendering me unable to work at this time in America. For me, it's not about monetary gain; it's really about the state of my writing career in America and whether or not I have what it takes to compete with well-established authors in such renowned society. This is my dilemma in America. The nature of the book, apart from its reporting aspect, offers also a vivid narrative of the struggle of American Liberalism an whether it will be able to sustain itself in post Obama era, in particular, in the face of continue Republican and conservative assaults in America. This segment of the book is very critical in that if progressivism or liberalism is to prosper and remain arguably the greatest governing philosophy for Americans and the world at large, we liberals must do all we can to ensure that such plan remain our center of focus.

  • Elimination of Corporal Punishment in the Holmes County School District
    We are starting this petition because our children are paddled and spanked for any small violation of the policy. There are some practices, such as corporal punishment which we need to get rid of because of the fear that it instills in children who are already exposed to a high degree of violence inside the community.

  • Tell the DNC: Schedule more Democratic presidential primary debates!
    The DNC has only scheduled 4 debates before the Iowa Caucuses, and 6 total, down from 26 debates leading up to and during the 2008 primaries. The DNC barred Democratic candidates from participating in non-sanctioned debates, which means the public is likely to see three times as many Republican primary debates as Democratic ones -- and the Republican debates have been drawing over 20 million viewers! This will give many Americans a stronger sense of familiarity with Republican candidates, which doesn't bode well for Democrats. Additionally, scheduling more debates before Iowa and New Hampshire provides primary voters in these important states a better opportunity to make an informed decision, which will impact who everyone else ultimately gets to vote for. Winning the White House in 2016 depends on getting our message out to the American people -- the vast majority of whom would benefit from Democratic policies. Scheduling more primary debates will achieve this, while also allowing candidates to hone their skills for the general election, giving the Dems a better shot at taking the presidency.

  • Assemblywoman Grove, take action against actual crimes instead of cheap shots against Planned Par...
    Assemblywoman Shannon Grove has called for an investigation by the California Attorney General into activities of Planned Parenthood that have not been determined to be illegal and which would fall under federal, not state, jurisdiction if they had been. To make such duplicity and abuse of public office even more egregious Grove, a right-wing conservative who regularly guest-hosts right-wing rhetoric radio at taxpayer expense, is deliberately ignoring: 1. Actual violations of California Department of Managed Healthcare (DMHC) regulations by health care providers; and DMHC itself; which are not only illegal but negatively impact the health and well being of her constituents. 2. Legitimate complaints of dereliction by the California Attorney General respecting actual violations of California law by homeowner associations which fall under the direct jurisdiction of the Attorney General. In both of the above cases Grove demonstrates contempt for constituents unless they can be of substantial political benefit to her. Grove also appears to be obsessed with Planned Parenthood as evidenced by her Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/shannongroveca). It would be well for Assemblywoman Grove to remember that her constituency consists of far more than the headline grabbing elements that benefit her political career or support her personal vendettas; her constituents are also those tax-paying citizens that are entitled to equality in law enforcement but that she is deliberately ignoring.
