• Tell Facebook to Wake Up and Permanently Ban Rena Nicole
    For a couple of years, a Facebook user by the name of Rena Nicole (https://www.facebook.com/RenaNicole1?ref=br_rs) - She also goes by the names of Rena Hilty and Rena Nicole Smith - has been harassing and stalking me and several of my friends. She has created pages and sock accounts specifically for the purpose of harassing us, two of these sock accounts are Woody Green and Iliana Sanchez. In the past, she created a page titled “Pro-Aborts Are Ugly”, where she took photos off mine and my friends’ profiles and posted them to harass and ridicule us. She also encouraged her page’s members to do the same. The page was taken down, but Rena has revived the practice on her page “I Acknowledge “Pro-Choice” Means Pro Abortion” (https://www.facebook.com/prochoicemeansproabortion). One post on the page has been removed by Facebook numerous times, and each time Rena reposts it. She also admins another page, "Pro-Abort Ignorance Wall of Shame" (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pro-Abort-Ignorance-Wall-Of-Shame/600998700003572) which she uses for the same purpose as she used "Pro-Aborts Are Ugly" and "I Acknowledge "Pro Choice" Means Pro Abortion". Everyone who calls her out or reports her gets shot down or banned from Facebook. The page, Rena’s post and her accounts have been reported for harassment several times on Facebook, but Facebook has done nothing about them, going so far as to say they do not violate the Facebook Community Standards or the Facebook Terms of Service, even though they all clearly violate the Facebook Community Standards and Terms of Service. From the Facebook Community Standards: "We don’t tolerate bullying or harassment. We allow you to speak freely on matters and people of public interest, but remove content that appears to purposefully target private individuals with the intention of degrading or shaming them. This content includes, but is not limited to: - Pages that identify and shame private individuals, - Images altered to degrade private individuals, - Photos or videos of physical bullying posted to shame the victim...” And though they’re not mentioned, socks created to bully or harass people also fall into the category. By allowing Rena’s behavior to continue, Facebook is violating its own Terms of Service and Community Standards. They are showing that they do tolerate bullying and harassment. This is getting to be a matter where the police may be notified and legal action is taken against both Facebook and Rena.

  • Save the View of the Brooklyn Bridge!
    I fell in love with the Brooklyn Bridge the first time I laid eyes on it. The Brooklyn Bridge is a worldwide icon and a National Historic Landmark. Toll Brothers should honor the agreement they made with the Brooklyn community to limit the height of the building so that people from around the world can continue to see the view of the Brooklyn Bridge from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, as they always have. This view should remain free for everyone in the world, not limited only to billionaires who buy a condo in this oversized building monstrosity.

  • Removing ban on Big Game fishing from shore
    These city and state officials are really over reaching. So please let's sign this petition and make a difference. When they put a ban on Big Game fishing from shore several people I know were affected including myself. Instead of actually finding a solution to the shark attacks here in NC, (putting up shark proof nets or hiring shark spotters) they just ban all and any type of big game fishing. This is over-reaching and a violation of our rights.

  • Conceal or Reveal: Ask Quaker to Support Mandatory FDA labeling of GMOs
    Quaker Oats and its parent company, PepsiCo, are spending millions to prevent us from knowing whether there are GMOs in our food. Major food companies combined have spent over $100 million on anti-labeling campaigns and their trade association, the Grocery Manufacturers Association, is supporting a new bill in Congress — The DARK Act — that would prevent mandatory FDA labeling. This new industry-friendly bill will keep consumers in the dark. Unless GMO labeling is mandatory, consumers will not get the information they need to make informed choices. Quaker, a brand that prides itself on its honest and healthy image, is not being fully transparent to parents, families and consumers across the country — marketing their products on trust, but supporting anti-labeling efforts at the same time. We need your support in asking Quaker if they will Conceal or Reveal. Join us in asking Quaker to just label it and support mandatory FDA labeling of GMOs. Learn more at www.justlabelit.org

  • Fireworks from Hell!
    The fireworks terrify my dog and wake my granddaughter up. People shoot them at all hours, some all year long! They celebrate birthdays, parties, etc., nothing to do with the holiday.

  • Gov. Rauner: Sign the Data Security and Consumer Protection Bill
    When credit card companies, health insurers, merchants and others require us to share private personal information as a routine cost of doing business, they owe it to us to keep only a limited amount of that information, and to take every precaution to keep it secure. Right now, they’re not doing enough. Not even close. The Illinois PIRG and Attorney General Madigan backed data security and consumer protection bill passed the state House and Senate with bi-partisan support. Now we need Governor Rauner to sign the bill into law. Senate Bill 1833, sponsored by Senator Biss and Representative Williams, provides much needed consumer protections including: * Updates the information companies have to keep secure to include medical information, geolocation, sensitive consumer marketing date, login credentials for online accounts, and more. * Requires entities to adopt reasonable security measures to safeguard personal information. * In the event of a breach, requires entities to notify the Attorney General’s office. Email Governor Rauner now. Tell him to support the data security and consumer protection bill.

  • OUTLAW Bicycle Riding on the streets
    I like most Michigan residents are sick and tired of people bicycling along streets, a bicycle is NOT a motor vehicle, therefore it belongs on sidewalks, bike paths or designated "bike lanes" along roads, ONLY exception is if none of these are available then use the should of the road or close to it as possible, otherwise it needs to be outlawed!

  • Leave the Fireworks Law in MI alone!
    Leave the Fireworks Safety Act 256 of 2011 alone. There is no need to repeal this Act as it does not stop the fireworks from being in the hands of those that incorrectly use them. This will only help keep bringing extra money into Michigan instead of sending it to other states.

  • USTA Norcal Adult League Tennis: Let players play for more than one team in playoffs.
    The USTA LLAR4B Adult League rule only allows players to play for one team going into playoffs. Therefore, players must choose one team only, and cannot play for all their teams if they are on multiple teams and if their teams made it to playoffs. Are you a USTA captain who's had to withdraw its team at playoffs because you lost players to other teams? Or are you a player on a team who's been in a dilemma figuring out which team to commit to at playoffs? Have you been frustrated when you chose the wrong team for playoffs and sadly saw your other team move to districts without you? If you are a USTA member and answered "YES" to any of the above questions, join our cause to change the USTA rule by signing this petition, and show USTA that you agree that all players should be able to play on multiple teams at playoffs, and should only choose one team when and if they get to districts. Please include your USTA number in the comments box when signing the petition. Thank you! Sophie Heerinckx (USTA#2001135307) Maria Scheper (USTA#2000250071) Lynne Sheehan (USTA#10240378) We thank the following Bay Area captains who have been part of this initial movement and are in support of the rule change: Jodi Andrews Lynn Case Misty D'Amore Mesi Erdos Terrie Field Marybeth Gonzales Fe Jangraw Soo (Sue) Kim Nancy Li Ken Marques Jamie Reynolds Lainey Richardson Jennifer Roberts Stephan Rogalla Laurie Selover Patricia Spratt
