The 35mph speed limit is too slow to be safe, and needs to be increased. There are sidewalks, crosswalks, and pedestrian crossing signals to keep foot traffic safe. There are 3 traffic lights that control traffic flow and they provide plenty of breaks in traffic so people can get in and out of local businesses. Those arguments for a 35mph speed limit bear no merit and do not hold water. Byram's only reason left is the stated goal of distracting drivers from driving so they will pay more attention to local businesses. Byram should not be trying to distract driver's attention from the road for the alleged gain of local businesses. Byram offers no proof that a lower speed limit does, in fact, achieve their stated goal. Is there any proof tha a speed limit of 35mph results in more business than a speed limit of 40? North of Shoprite there are no businesses, so why does the speed limit stay 35mph all the way to Lakeland Emergency Squad? I spoke to a representative of NJDOT in reference to my complaint. She was familiar with the section of highway in question, agreed with me and wished me luck. Byram, this is EVERYONE'S highway. Why don't you do the right thing and implement the speed limits I've suggested, as it was before the construction? People just want to get home. Drivers have enough distractions without Byram adding to them. Increase the speed limit. I was passed by 7 vehicles as I drove through there last Sunday at 35. My town's mayor was passed by a school bus Tuesday evening when he drove through at the speed limit. It isn't right for Byram to make every driver a law breaker.

We The Undersigned; Petition The City of Nome, Alaska to rebuild Glue Pot on 224 East Front Street Nome, Alaska 99762. We continue to hold sentimental value to Glue Pot and would like to see it built back up and fully functional in it's previous physical address.

Current and proposed legislation and Executive actions to limit Carbon Dioxide are counter-productive, unnecessary and expensive. Check the facts, not the hype.

I'm starting this petition because a park (Moore Park) not too far from where I live got renovated. In addition to that, they attached another building to the field house at that park which is almost complete. If that park can get a complete renovation, Clark Playground can, too. 13 years without a basketball tournament is a long time and I wanna break that streak. It's long overdue!

Service Providers like AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, etc. are selling our private information to NSA. Innocent people are targeted everyday and they are treated inappropriately based on the information so gathered. This should be stopped.

On November 5, 2014 538 video copies of the full record of the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure (CHD) were shipped to all members of the United States Congress. Shortly after these 10-DVD sets are received, PRG's registered lobbyist, Stephen Bassett, will renew direct engagement of the U. S. Congress for the first time since 2000 seeking new congressional hearings on extraterrestrial related phenomena. http://paradigmresearchgroup.org, http://youtu.be/WZBN_9NMhUA

Sens. Warren and Sanders have offered progressives about the only hope we have of being represented by the next U.S. president. However, with Sen. Warren supporting Hillary Clinton, a "perfect storm" is in place for them to play "useful idiots" for candidate Clinton to coopt their progressive rhetoric and betray it as president. Unless Clinton's oligarch donors are stupid, we all need to stop her candidacy dead in its tracks.

There are wonderful, easily adoptable dogs at risk of being euthanized at Grapevine Animal Shelter because the city is not allowing the public to adopt them. They are networked by volunteers, but the shelter does not allow you to work with the dogs in any way without training for almost four months with the police department. This limits many citizens' abilities to enter the shelter's program and assist. It's important to understand this affects our tax dollars, strains rescue resources greatly, and causes the deaths of dogs who would otherwise be beloved companions.

I would promote the value of shopping at Costco even more if it did not carry Georgia-Pacific products, which is a subsidiary of Koch Industries.

President Carter was about to introduce the Metric System and the country was geared up for it when the new President Reagan called it "un-American" and scuttled the change-over. It is high time our country abandons the present medieval and complicated system of measurements.

Professional athletes are suspended for unsportsmanlike conduct. How is it possible that Kanye has been allowed to treat other music professionals with such inconsiderate and disrespectful behaviors? Why aren't The Recording Academy Trustees suspending him from attending these prestigious award shows? If the appropriate organizations won't take action on their own, it reinforces this behavior as acceptable. It is NOT acceptable. There should be a consequence from the appropriate Grammy Organization and The Recording Academy, that this unprofessional behavior will not be tolerated! It's not a joke, it's a breakdown of social civility. This would not be tolerated in any other industry. Those making appearances on prime time television have a responsibility to the viewers supporting them, and this is our chance to say, we expect professionalism! Send " Kanye to the Penalty Box" means he ( and anyone else demonstrating unsportsmanlike behaviors ) should be suspended from these prestigious award shows until he (or others) contractually agrees to behave in a respectful and courteous manner. If such agreement is broken, they are fined a million dollars ( or other significant amount)...which, is then donated to a fund that promotes positive outcomes for our youth and society at large. In hockey, one sits in the penalty box 3 long minutes leaving their team vulnerable. The public viewers are left vulnerable to the societal impact of the inappropriate and disrespectful behaviors of those celebrities that have the freedom to behave (publicly) without adhering to an industry standard code of ethics. In other sports organizations, athletes ( and celebrity athletes) can be ejected and fined by officials. Who is protecting the public from the disrespectful and unsportsmanlike conduct aired on TV? It's time to create a code of conduct and hold musicians ( and celebrities) to a higher standard! A standard code of conduct should be signed by all with access to being aired publicly and in such contract, a Penalty Box Component, will be standard and include a significant financial penalty and suspension, whereby such proceeds will be used for the greater good. Sign if you agree Kanye ( and others) should be sent to the Penalty Box for unsportsmanlike conduct on TV!

The County of Lake invested mega-millions of "Redevelopment" money (our property taxes, mind you) in these struggling communities, including over $2M in Upper Lake alone, where private investment has matched and surpassed the publicly-funded investment in community thrivance. Civic pride and public service are emblematic of our town's hospitality to all Northshore businesses, residents, and visitors. > > This petition is addressed to WestAmerica's Banking Division Manager [POBox 1230, A-21A, Fairfield CA 94534], as well as to Lake County District 3 Supervisor Jim Steele ([email protected]) to support the County's equally dismayed response (Board of Supervisors, February 3, 2015) and that of the Greater Lake County Chamber of Commerce. THIS IS BAD BUSINESS FOR EVERYONE!
