War Eagle Bridge is one of the most Historic landmarks in Arkansas. It brings people from all over the world, and it has year round traffic. If they close this bridge it will affect so much more than the local area and economy. Huge events like Bikes Blues and BBQ use this bridge as one of the attractions for motorcycle riders that come from all over in the fall. It is an economic staple but also a gorgeous piece of history that should be maintained at all costs.

The increasingly common practice of transporting crude oil by rail poses a significant risk to the health, well-being, and safety of our communities. The U.S. Department of Transportation recently predicted 10 crude oil train derailments per year for the next twenty years, leading to possible damages in the billions and deaths in the hundreds. With an estimated 40 crude oil trains traveling through the Chicago area each week and more through countless smaller communities around Illinois, the time for reform is now.

We don't want any more workers to die. That is why our union is taking on the richest, most powerful industry in the world by fighting to secure a fair contract that will protect the health and safety of workers and communities. The oil industry's greed and bad faith bargaining has stalled efforts to improve conditions in their workplaces. The industry has refused to address serious health and safety issues that have already killed thousands of workers over the years.

O'Shay has a son as well as most young men struggling to find themselves in this world. I believe O'Shay has had a view of life from the wrong angle. He has been in and out of a lot in a short period of time but like many we fall to get up.

Rationale: Strict regulations and parameters must be established in order to ensure the safety, traffic, and well-being of all residential neighborhoods. Our community is not opposed to overall gaming in commercial establishments, in appropriate locations, as we believe gaming can continue to be an additional source of revenue for businesses statewide. However, we firmly believe there is a need to limit the negative impact gaming will have on residential neighborhoods.

On February 26, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker was asked a question at a conservative conference about how he would combat ISIS, the radical terrorist organization murdering innocent people in the Middle East. In his response, Gov. Walker said, “If I can take on 100,000 protesters, I can do the same across the world.” In one sentence, Gov. Walker mocked the war experiences of every Iraq veteran by comparing the terrorists we fought in Iraq to our families and neighbors here at home. I served a tour of duty with Echo Battery, 2nd Battalion, 11th Marines, in Iraq’s Anbar province in 2004. Many of the places where my unit served are now controlled by ISIS, including areas around Forward Operating Base Givens in Trebil, the Haditha Dam, and the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq compound near Fallujah. I was also one of thousands in the state Capitol in Madison in 2011, protesting against Act 10’s attacks on working people in Wisconsin. I grew up in the Driftless Area on the Wisconsin-Minnesota border. My dad was a schoolteacher and a volunteer firefighter. My stepmom was (and still is) a postal worker. Both of them were union members, and I saw what being in a union meant for them. When my dad faced a serious health problem, his union stood beside him and made sure he didn’t have to face the challenges on his own. I’ll always remember that. So when Gov. Walker started pushing Act 10—the law that stripped public employees in Wisconsin of their collective bargaining rights—I knew I needed to stand up. I remember standing in the Capitol, chanting and singing with thousands of others, trying to get the attention of a governor who didn’t have the courage to meet with us. Those of us protesting in the Capitol felt a common sense of purpose. Around me, I saw teachers and firefighters—people just like my dad. I saw nurses and snowplow drivers and people who work to make their communities better. That year, Gov. Walker called us thugs. His words stung: real thugs were the insurgents we fought in Iraq. But they didn’t sting anywhere near as much as his comparing how he ignored his fellow Wisconsinites to fighting ISIS. Today, I’m proud to be a member of AFT Local 3220, the Teaching Assistants’ Association at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, my alma mater. After I came home from Iraq, I earned my bachelor’s at UW-Madison. I am continuing my education in graduate school, studying military history with a focus on civil-military relations, veterans and education. I also serve undergraduates as a full-time academic adviser. As an academic adviser, I help students identify and develop the tools they need to pursue their dreams. Students can count on my support at any stage of their academic career: encouraging their academic exploration; helping them pick the right major; assisting when they plan their classes for a semester studying abroad, or making sure they are on track to graduate so they can walk with their class and celebrate with their families. And I help them handle more serious issues, like what to do if an emergency requires time away from school. I also volunteer to advise a student organization that focuses on public service, because I want to support students who give back to their community. Gov. Walker thinks that—because he ignored me and thousands of people like me—he’s qualified to face the threat of ISIS. But by comparing teachers, firefighters, nurses, custodians and other public workers to terrorists, Scott Walker insults those of us who have actually fought terrorism, and those of us who speak up for ourselves and our communities at home. Gov. Walker, veterans and service members who risked their lives to fight terrorism deserve better than that. Americans who speak up for their rights deserve better than that. Please, Gov. Walker, show some courage: publicly take ownership of your disrespectful comments and apologize. William Schuth

This petition is about the rights of parents to support their children's outdoor play, the rights of parents to treat their children with respect as citizens, and the importance of allowing children independence and the opportunity to explore and discover the world on their own.

The best parent is BOTH parents.

I have been a witness to tons of animal abuse situations and I have tried to stop it but I have had it! I am taking this to the president.

On December 28, 2014, in a speech directed at Islamic religious scholars and clerics, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi said, “It is inconceivable that the ideology we sanctify should make our entire nation a source of concern, danger, killing, and destruction all over the world. Honorable Imam (the Grand Sheik of Al-Azhar), you bear responsibility before Allah. The world in its entirety awaits your words, because the Islamic nation is being torn apart, destroyed, and is headed to perdition. We ourselves are bringing it to perdition. We need to revolutionize our religion…” The extraordinary, unprecedented courage of Egyptian President El-Sisi in taking this position and endangering his life demands support for his call to reform Islam for the sake of world peace. It is incumbent on President Obama and members of Congress to issue a proclamation of appreciation and support to Egyptian President El-Sisi for his stance.
