To exemplify my good character and to highlight a minor bit of injustice which has affected my livelihood.

Robyn was the top producing Tennis Service Representative in Texas, received exemplary annual reviews, and received stellar reviews on customer surveys. Robyn's dismissal will leave a void in the tennis community in which she served, and she needs to know how much she is appreciated. USTA Texas needs to be aware of the void her absence will leave.

I am an American who knows that we are the last chance at freedom and liberty from those unshowered, socialist Euro bastards. I don't want to be speaking some dumb language that's not English, eating baguettes, and seeing my women with hairy armpits. Fight for freedom!!!!

We are petitioning the Confectionery Buyers at all of the UK Supermarkets to delist Hershey Chocolate Bars, Hershey Kisses, Reese's, all Reese's Cereals, Chocolate Spreads and all other Hershey products. Stop selling Hershey, throw them out of the UK. Until Hershey agrees to allow the sale of UK Cadbury bars in the USA, then let's make sure Hershey is NOT sold in the UK. Sign the petition and forward it to all of your friends to sign, we need to make ourselves heard. Together we can make a difference. Hershey's actions are going to affect small business in the USA, but also cost jobs in the UK. We need to STOP them NOW

I just heard about this on the Rachael Maddow show last night after the AFA fired their issue adviser Bryan Fisher, so I thought I would get out the noise maker and make some noise about it.

Many young men and women have sacrificed themselves for the freedom that all of us take for granted. As of 3/3/2014, there have been 1,558 Amputations; 7,224 Severe Brain Injuries; 118,829 Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders (www.allgov.com) and as of 1/29/2015, 6,845 service members have perished (icasualties.org). We the people demand that a victory parade commence on September 11, 2015 for all past and present members of the Armed Forces that partook in either the Iraq or Afghanistan campaign.

We are a committee that has been working for 2 years to get this project realized. After doing extensive searches in the town, we believe that this is the best choice to establish the Holocaust Memorial. We believe that time is of the essence as each year the amount of holocaust survivors is dwindling and soon there will be none left to bear witness to the horrors of the holocaust. We need the members of the Town Council to take action and make this important project a reality.

Dear Friends, The newly formed Ann Arbor Green Burial Network (A2GBN) needs your support. The Network strives to educate our selves and others about natural burial with the goal of increasing natural burial options in our local area. We are collecting signatures of those who support this goal. (Please note that we encourage you to sign this petition no matter where you live--this is a movement that has no boundaries and if natural options are offered in one place, the more likely other places will do the same.) A2GBN grew out of two recent events -­‐ the Michigan Green Burial Conference in October 2014, and an interfaith clergy presentation on natural death care options in June 2014. The group is made up of members of the clergy and the general public (listed below). These are the basics of why we endeavor to expand local natural burial options: • Burial without embalming and without a vault was the tradition throughout history until only very recently, and is still the tradition in many cultures and religions. • Currently in the U.S., coffins are required to be encased in concrete vaults by most cemeteries nationwide. • Vaults use several tons of concrete, and concrete manufacture is a global leader in contribution to climate change (adding more CO2 to the atmosphere than the airline industry). • Vaults are not required by any laws or health codes, they are only a matter of cemetery policy. • Cemeteries that require vaults do so because they simplify maintenance duties. • Cemeteries that do not require vaults usually charge extra to cover the additional maintenance costs, thus, offering this option need not be a hardship to cemeteries. • Cremation is on the rise, partly because people are not comfortable with the environmental impacts of conventional burials. • Like concrete vaults, cremation also uses significant amounts of fossil fuels. • The perpetual care of a cemetery plot that requires mowing, fertilizing, and pesticides adds up over time to a very significant environmental footprint. • Cemetery plots that are landscaped naturally can provide crucial habitat for wildlife. • Ann Arbor prides itself in being a leader in environmental sustainability, but we have no cemeteries that allow any form of natural burial. • People like to be buried near their homes and families. The closest cemetery that offers natural burial is in Milan. • Those who desire to reduce their environmental footprint in both life and in death would like more options in their local area, whether it be a burial without a vault, a burial plot that is landscaped naturally, or both. To reach our goal of expanding natural burial options in our area, we plan to: 1. Educate the public about green burial, its benefits and where it is available currently. 2. Approach local cemeteries about offering natural burials (plots without a vault and/or plots that are naturally landscaped). 3. Assist local congregations that have land to begin offering green burial or other natural memorial options. 4. Approach city, village, township and county governments about the possibility of utilizing conserved land for natural burial. 5. Investigate opportunities for green burial in rural, abandoned or unclaimed cemeteries. Our first task is to collect names of individuals and organizations that support our goals. A long list of supporters will demonstrate to cemeteries, congregations and local government entities that there is a growing number of people who desire these options. By signing this petition, you will add your voice to the myriad of local residents who have told us that they want green burial options for themselves and their loved ones. If you would like to join the Network or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact one of us. Sincerely, Merilynne Rush and Rev.

This petition is to keep offender Raymond Culp A270120 in prison. We as a community do not want this man out. By signing this petition I agree with the family members that this evil needs to stay where he is so he is not capable of doing such a tragic crime again! Please take into consideration of the following signatures on this petition and keep offender A270120 in the Belmont County Correctional Institution. The family members of the victim are very thankful for the support from all of you and taking time and signing this. Our mother was only 42 years old and lived a life of hell and abuse from day one of being with this convict. Kandy Sue Van Dyke (Culp) will be remembered by her children and grandchildren of being the fun loving lady she was. This convict may have taken her life but he will not take the memories! Nor will he get the freedom that he so doesn't deserve! Next parole hearing is May 2015

When you work in an Emergency Room, you see a lot. I’ve been a nurse in an ER in Riverside, CA for over 25 years, and I’ve developed pretty good instincts. One night, I had a young patient who was clearly in some mental distress. My gut told me that I was in danger. I called security, but because of our hospital’s policies, they wouldn’t even come in the room, since the patient hadn’t actually attacked me. Yet. I listened to my instincts, and asked two coworkers to come in the room with me for my protection while I continued to attempt to treat the patient. I was standing close enough to draw blood, and turned to my workstation for just a moment. Out of the corner of my eye I could see him coming at me, and that was the last thing I saw for about ten minutes. The patient had punched me in the back of the head, slamming my head into the concrete wall. I was temporarily blinded, but I could hear the sounds of the patient’s father and one of my coworkers subduing him. This whole time, security did nothing. The police wouldn’t take down a statement. There was nothing they could do, they said. I was badly injured, and out of work for several weeks recovering. If it hadn’t have been for the two coworkers that I brought into the room for my protection, I shudder to think of what could have happened. I don’t think I’d be writing this today. I was traumatized by the experience, but sadly I was not surprised. Ask any health care worker you know and they are bound to have a story about violence in the workplace. Too often, hospital management does nothing to respond to these recurring incidents, preferring to cut corners and increase profits, leaving workers in danger. I don’t blame the mentally unstable young patient who hurt me. I was injured by my hospital’s policies, and by the fact that there is currently no system in place to address issues of workplace violence. Nurses, med techs, and other health care workers are on the front lines every day keeping all of our loved ones safe. We shouldn’t have to put our own lives at risk to care for the lives of others. Every hospital and medical facility should have a task force in place that makes sure hospital policies keep *both* health care workers and patients safe. Please join me in urging the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) and the California Hospital Association to take immediate steps to address the crisis of workplace violence by requiring that every medical facility have a workplace violence prevention plan that that puts the safety of patients and health care workers first.

My brother Steven Ercolino was murdered outside the Empire State Building on August 24th, 2012. The image of him lying in a pool of blood was front page news in the NY Post and NY Times. Now, the images are all over the Internet for our children and future generations to be victimized again. That"s why Diane Clausz and I created this petition.

A 1 year old Yorkie named Rose was brutally beat to death by a man whos girlfriend was watching the dog.
