The constituents of Vine City Community no longer want the VCCA to represent the interest of our neighborhood. Due to the lack of transparency in the management of funds, the unwillingness to partner with the community in decision making, and their refusal to comply with the open records laws. VCCA has eroded the community's trust to a point of no return.

Don Orsillo is as much a part of and voice of the Boston Red Sox as any player or person in management. He is as much a reason to watch the games as is the team playing.

One in four employed mothers in the United States is back at work just TWO WEEKS after giving birth because she doesn’t have access to paid family (maternity, paternity, medical) leave. This is totally unacceptable! Lack of paid family leave is devastating for working families AND for our national economy. In fact, study after study shows that advancing this policy is not only the right thing to do for new parents, it’s also the economically smart thing to do for businesses, taxpayers, and the economy. That’s why almost all countries in the world have this critical policy already in place. It’s time for the United States to catch up. Anyone looking to lead our country should show leadership now by championing and supporting a national paid family leave policy. Sign on to this petition, and MomsRising will make sure that every major candidate in the 2016 race for President of the United States gets the message.

Twitter recently blocked a number of sites, including dedicated to archiving politician's tweets from accessing its API. This effectively shut these sites down. What elected officials say publicly to their constituents ought to remain part of the public record. Twitter shouldn't help politicians paint more favorable images of themselves or cover up their mistakes. This is like letting politicians erase footage or shred documents that make then look bad. Urge Twitter to stand for transparency and accountability by restoring API access to these sites.

My son has recently passed away on May 26th of 2015 due to a drowning incident. He was fully clothed and was also among friends at the time it happened. To this day, nothing definite has been said to me or my family as to what exactly lead up to his drowning. We do not know definitely how it happened with my son and why. So I am raising an awareness about Wolves in Sheep's Clothing, a disguise that people wear to lure you into other directions. This is happening on U.S grounds, where people are being befriended and mislead by friendships when incidents occur as the end result and we must pay attention to it .There is always someone who knows something, yet there are not enough efforts or help when it comes to such cases. The families have to look for services and provide for themselves to get the help or raise the money, when some may not have the money or resources. In certain cases like these, they go cold and unsolved. Families will never know what actually happened to their love ones as a result they give up, yet they still live with it every day wondering what had actually happened and why. We are still waiting for answers. http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/we_are_all_bystanders https://www.psychologytoday.com/basics/bystander-effect

Like millions of Americans I have lost my home , watched my income drop and a college education for my daughter seems unlikely. All this while the democrats have played defense. I believe Bernie Sanders will beat Hillary in the primary and go on to be the first president in years who will actually lead America into the future. Joe is just another folksy corporate democrat who will not rock the boat just muddy the waters.

Prayer before games is a tradition in many team sports, especially in the South. This begins as young as Little League and continues to college level. The FFRF has attacked high schools and is now attacking college chaplains who lead teams in prayer before games. Students and coaches do not now and have never been forced to participate in prayer. Non-believers can simply choose to not bow their head until the end of prayer. Please sign this petition to support the cause to KEEP prayer at our campuses and our football games.

To keep a child killer in jail instead of roaming our streets seeking another child they may devour !!!

The City of Pittsburg needs to listen to its constituents and not just a few self-serving business owners who are calling for this 50-year family owned establishment's closure or relocation. There are currently no establishments that can legally provide live entertainment or even DJ's in the City of Pittsburg.

The Public Trust Doctrine protects citizens from private development on publicly owned land. If you will not defend your hometown, how can the rest of state trust that you will uphold their rights over private interests? Your support means everything to us.

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow may be the best interviewer currently in Political Media and she has earned the right to host a Presidential Debate.

I am an animal advocate in Atlanta. I rescue, foster and fundraise for animals throughout the state, in addition to volunteering at local shelters. The facilities are overcrowded, poorly managed and regulated, and something needs to change! We need ordinances in place to protect and care for these animals. Other large cities have already taken action, Georgia needs to step up and do the right thing.
