• Indoor Track And Field Facility
    We, the citizens of Nassau County would like to point your attention to our need for a public indoor track and field facility, to facilitate year-round, indoor practice and competitive events during the winter months. At this moment no indoor public facility for winter track and field practice exists in Nassau County. An indoor 200m track will facilitate a number of sports for training and competitions. This will give athletes the facilities they need to continue to grow their talent during the cold and icy months. The indoor track could be used year round as a center for Athletics. Regularly scheduled sport tournaments would generate a significant amount of revenue. In addition, such a facility would create jobs by staffing Instructors to accommodate many Health and Fitness activities for all ages. Building costs are extremely affordable now and as the economy recovers, costs will rise accordingly. This plan will increase our county revenue immediately and for years to come. This is not a new idea we just want it to be done now with no strings attached: “A call from some Nassau residents for a new indoor facility that would hold various sporting and other events has prompted County officials to propose such a $5 million building as part of the $400 million it hopes to borrow for a new Coliseum and minor league ballpark. If voters approve borrowing the $400 million on August 1, the County plans to use $5 million of the money to build a 90,000-square-foot multipurpose facility for track and field events and conventions, Deputy County Executive Rob Walker said.” This petition calls for funding to be made available to build an indoor athletics track in the county. This facility can be located at Valley Stream National Park, Eisenhower Park or located behind the Omni Building on the Mitchel Field property. It would include an artificial turf field and a six-lane track. Currently it’s certainly difficult to train in the winter here; local athletics is in danger of missing out on high performance practice because of the lack of facilities, which is the case during the winter months. The outdoor track is completely iced up during winter, the climate here really limits what we are able to do training wise, so we have to look at getting a proper indoor track and field facility. Training in the gym while competing with basketball for space is always a battle. We would be grateful if we are able to be provided the indoor track and field facility. WHAT CAN YOU DO? Sign the petition, share on Facebook, spread the word or write an email/letter to your elected officials.

  • New York Sports Club: don't rip off your longtime customers
    I've belonged to the NYSC in my neighborhood for eight years, and I'm angry that I have to pay extra now that they're dropping their rates. Since they're the biggest chain gym in NYC, I'm sure many other people like me - steady customers that NYSC is taken advantage of instead of rewarding for our loyalty. Let's ask Gallagher and Giardina to waive or refund the new enrollment fee for their loyal customers.

  • Do not block counties from banning GMOs.
    I now have a toxic chemical (trifluralin) on my property from a neighbor's property due to lack of enforcement of label instructions by the state, local governments, the EPA, the FDA and Hawaii DOA. My community organization, The Mililani Town Association, (MTA) is constantly spraying toxic chemicals in public places near homes, schools, etc., without even disclosing what it is they are spraying.

  • Do Not address the President without his title
    I just listened to a highly rated news show in which President Obama was commonly referred to as, "Obama." No matter who is President, The United States people and our system is demeaned by this. When speaking about the U.S. President, the proper title should be used.

  • BRING BACK THE OLD LPS!
    I love making videos to entertain others on YouTube with the old LPS. The new ones are creepy and un-original. Plus, I might lose viewers! And it's $10.00-300.00 for a good LPS on eBay!

  • Tell Wyoming Senators John Barrasso & Mike Enzi and Rep. Cynthia Lummis not to stand in the way ...
    “Sen. Barrasso believes there are better legal and proven ways to safely address pain.” Of course he does. He'd lose his financing from Big Pharma if he said otherwise. "Republican Sen. Mike Enzi does not support the bill because he has strong reservations about marijuana for medical use, said his spokesman Max D’Onofrio." “There is strong evidence that marijuana does act as a gateway drug, and Sen. Enzi believes we must think about what kind of message these laws would send to our young people, []” The Gateway theory of drugs has been THOROUGHLY DEBUNKED and by Harvard Medical School as well as 6 other National Agencies. Do these guys only read the labels on their shirts?? Their message to kids is "we're lying" so what do kids do - try the harder stuff to see if they're being lied to there too! Ineffective and absolutely unproven. In fact teen drug use has gone DOWN in states that have legalized. We must use the evidence ladies and gentlemen and our three Congressional delegates seem to want to ignore science and the evidence that they are wrong so we must TELL them loud and clear DO NOT OPPOSE THE MEDICAL MARIJUANA BILL ! WE WANT YOU TO PASS IT!!! We cannot have both freedom and a drug-free society. We're choosing to be free and that's the choice we want to see. Quotes from Casper Star Tribune March 16, 2015 Laura Hancock

  • Stop the proven corruption in the entire California Court System
    Because I have been illegally charged with perjured testimony by an LAUSD School Board Member who is also an Asst. L.A. City Attorney, of making obscene, P.C. 653(m), phone calls. I have the highest level proof I did not do this. According to the People v. Johnson Calif. Supreme Court Decision I was to have been dismissed last March 15, 2014. The judge just recently broke every part of the Calif. Supreme Court Decision on my requesting a competent attorney in the Marsden Hearing, People v. Marsden. My friend, Richard Fine, was put into solitary confinement for revealing this in court. This is systemic and must be stopped.
