This American history and should never be gotten rid of

Many lives were lost on this horrific day, 9/11/01. This day should be a Holiday so that we can honor ALL of the lives that were taken from us. You want us to teach our children about that day, then why not start with a day to honor them.

Facebook has banned Steve Elliott 4 times now, for posting prices of medical products everyone with a pen does on Facebook for the new wave of Cannabis reporting. He is a long standing cannabis reporter, writer activist this is his life and he knows it well. These personal attacks on him without due process over and over is bullying of his character and that needs to stop. Thank you the cannabis community.

I just love puppies

For safety and noise reasons.

The Confederate flag is not a symbol of southern pride but rather a symbol of rebellion and racism. On the heels of the brutal killing of nine Black people in a South Carolina church by a racist terrorist, it's time to put that symbol of rebellion and racism behind us and move toward healing and a better United States of America!

When Walt Disney World opened in 1971, the Central Florida area began to take on a new shape and personality. With the growth of tourist attractions in the 1970's, 80's, and early 90's, a unique and original feel began to emerge on the side of 192, International Drive, and Universal Boulevard. The memory of these long-gone institutions are slowly fading, erasing what charm the attractions brought to the area. Xanadu, Arabian Nights, King Henry's Feast, and Water Mania are all attractions that no longer grace the billboards of Interstate 4. Splendid China represents one of the most charming, original, and magnificently planned tourism operations that came to Central Florida. Over 6 1/2 million handmade bricks alone were used in the creation of the park's Great Wall of China, a testament to the artistry and creativity that went into bringing the country's beauty and splendor to its guests. Over time, the park fell to the Post 9/11 tourism slump, which claimed several other Kissimmee/Orlando attractions. Vandals and thieves began tearing away at the park's buildings and defacing the holy statues that many created by hand. Splendid China's presence served as a reminder of Orlando's unique diversity, while also becoming a target of Tibetan activism throughout its time in operation. The park has become somewhat of a mystery and ideal location for "urban explorers" who post videos of the decay in an attempt to gain publicity for their endeavors. The park's rolling hills, handmade structures, and artistic remains should be accessible to everyone, not only those trespassing. The story of this once glorious attraction can educate current and future residents about our city's culture, economic hardships, and relationship with the tourism industry in which we rely.

So that Everyone in the US can have access to information on light that effects their health.

SDOT's stated reason for installing a sign in this particular location is to alert drivers of incidents between Boyer Ave E and Husky Stadium. In the case of an incident, the sign will instruct motorists to turn west onto Boyer Ave E to avoid the backup. This DMS will be the only one of it’s kind in a single-family residential neighborhood. SDOT has said that installation will run $400,000. I am concerned because: * By the time you reach 24th & E. Lee, there are very few options to avoid traffic other than cutting through our neighborhoods, causing excess traffic and safety concerns. * The sign creates a visual distraction on an already dangerous street for pedestrians and bikers. This will further endanger us as we attempt to cross the street. * SDOT has failed to engage the community on this installation. While they informed the homes that are north of the corner in December 2015, they did not reach out to homes south, east or west of the installation site. * This sign will direct vehicles, including large commercial trucks and tractor-trailers, to use Boyer Ave E. Boyer Ave E. is a narrow residential street that is a major commuting route for bicyclists. It also is the home of school and church. Time is of the essence on this issue as SDOT has stated their intention to install the sign this summer. I am requesting your help in stopping it.

Prostitution is a form of modern-day slavery. Every day over 15,000 women, men and children in Israel are exploited for sexual services against their will. They are victims of trafficking, fraud, debt manipulation, drug addiction, extreme emotion and physical violence, sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies. The average prostitute receives between 15 to 20 clients per day, creating approximately 1,000,000 sex transactions per month in Israel. No healthy, sane human being decides to work in prostitution out of free choice.

The Confederate Flag represents a Southern History, Southern Heritage, and Southern Culture for those who chose to oppose equality during The American Civil War. No matter who opposes, The Confederate Flag, is a Honorable Artifact, notably worthy of being remembered. Unfortunately, without proper law and order, Americans have traditionally misused the Flag, warranting hate crimes. As a result, the effects have been similar to a person misusing the purpose of a kitchen knife. Theoretically speaking, the Kitchen Knife was made to prepare food, but if misused, it becomes a weapon. The purpose of using the Kitchen Knife, as a prime example, is because it Is owned by every household in America. By-Law, owning one, doesn't give Americans the right to use it to make threats, inflict pain, injury or other hostile actions on people, In recompense or retribution for something done or not done. The Confederate Flag is not to blame for People who have abused their privileges; People who have symbolically created it as a weapon of mass destruction; People who flamboyantly renounce the genuity of the flag, with no remorse for being guilty by association. The despicable misuse of what the Confederate Flag stands for, is a public nuisance; Progress will continue to free-lance until the law calls for order. Now is the time, We stand together to petition to Ban The Confederate Flag, that it be placed in a safe place, where objects of historical, scientific, artistic, and cultural importances are stored. May the resignation of The Confederate Flag, victoriously belong to the people who won to heal. We pray, Their efforts were not in vain. As it is ordained, We hold these truths as evidence, All Men are created equal.

Bernie Sanders is one of the most honest politicians out there - he deserves to have a chance at the Democratic primaries. Because of New York's Wilson Pakula Act, Bernie may be barred from running for the Democratic nomination in New York because he is not officially affiliated with the Democratic Party. However, certain exceptions are granted if a candidate gets permission from the state political party leaders. Despite this, the New York State Democratic Party is quite content to leave Bernie's name out of the primary. Please, tell the New York State Democratic Party: We Want Bernie's name on the ballot! Only then can we have a good public discourse among candidates on issues that matter to New Yorkers and to the whole country.
