• Hate Page OK with Facebook
    My son is autistic and if he were to come across the community it would be devastating. They have enough issues that they do not have to see the crap that is being put out on this page https://www.facebook.com/autisticfreaks. It states it is religious group of moms, not so it is just a piece of crap that needs to be removed! Facebooks answer is that it is not violating the community standards, really hum hate statements are not a violation? Really Facebook you also state some of the porn stuff I have reported is not in violation. Get you s*** together and start taking our reports seriously. You shut down business pages because someone likes too many pages or other things like that but you think the hate being spewed or the porn being uploaded is okay? Really Facebook do something about this and NOW!

  • Corporal Chester Nez Day January 23rd
    Our United States of America Marine Corps Navajo Code Talkers' last survivor was Chester Nez who died in 2014 at age 93. A book has been compiled of his life and the only one written by a Navajo Code Talker and a co-author. His contributions to the attack on Iwo Jima and the Pacific strikes by the Japanese military were monumental to the success and end of World War II. If he ever revealed information about the code, he was under the threat of his tongue being cut out, or death. He was never able to reveal to his family nor anyone else his mission. Corporal U.S.M.C. Chester Nez the recipient of numerous medals of honor, and deserves to represent his 28 other comrades in a yearly tribute so the USA will never forget the secret missions of the United State Marine Corps through the code of the Navajo Native Language, a code the Japanese could not decipher. Corporal USMC medal of honor recipient Nez died in 2014 at the age of 93. I am also proposing that a United States Postal Stamp be made to commemorate his life.

  • Morris County Freeholders Considering Resolution to Ban Churches from Receiving Historic Preserva...
    For several years, our church, The First Reformed Church of Pompton Plains, has received Morris County Historic Preservation Grant Funds with the intention of restoring three of our historically registered buildings to their original and historic quality. The grant pays 80% of the cost of the work. The church funds 20%. We are grateful for what has been given to us so far, but there is much work to do. Last year, work on the Sanctuary was only partially funded and we were hoping to apply for more funds to finish that job. This year, we are also hoping to start the process for the work needed on our 1788 Stone House, Friendly Manse. The Stone House historically served as a Town Tavern, a Post Office, a stop on the Underground Railroad, a hospital, and now a residence. The church clearly sees its historical value. It would be shame to not restore its historical nature. But, if the resolution passes, historical preservation funds to churches will end, which could eventually lead to all funding for historic preservation going away. We are concerned for the ramifications in Morris County, but also statewide.

  • Make a /kr/ board
    This petition is for a startup of a korean culture board. This would benefit /mu/ users who absolutely hate /kpg/ due to the amount of non music related posts in threads and the fact that they feel like we bring no real value to their board. This too would be great for /kpg/ members where we wouldn't be forced to talk about just kpop. We would be able to discuss idols in general without being off topic as well as shows and dramas, movies, locations, food, and many other korean related things. We have a large community of over 150 people (this is evident due to a video being posted 18 hours ago and getting 225 views for just the /mu/ community) and despite not wanting to it would merge the /hr/ and /mu/ kpop community. Not only would we have a place to discuss the interest many of us have spent countless hours and had emotional investment in. The major problem that affects our community as it is now is the fact that people cannot express and talk about the topics we enjoy such as male kpop, shows etc. Without being ridiculed and banned. Is it so wrong that we can not have our own culture board when the very website we frequent was created in a love for Japanese culture? Thank you for your time and we really hope that you will consider this proposal

  • PGV Drilling Violates County Law
    In 2012 the drilling of Puna Geothermal Venture well KS-15 caused continual disturbances of nearby residents. An outpouring of complaints about noise, light, vibration, dust, fear of toxic exposure, etc., led the County Council to enact the night drilling ban. Now PGV wants to resume drilling and ignore the law. See http://bit.ly/1L5rV9g

  • GH Tribune Newspaper: Moderate comments that BULLY
    A completely botched, nonfactual/un-researched and obviously rushed story written by Becky Vargo, published 1-20-15 titled "Dead Dog Debacle" is what bought me to your GHT's (newspaper) online "Advantage" and comments that follow each article published. Many regulars comment daily. They call themselves names like LessThanAmused", DKS523, misanthrope, and Straighjacket - which allows them to behind made-up names as they post comments that are simply beyond cruel and evil - which is awful in its own right. I believe in freedom of speech and opinion(s)..the problem is that many comments made by these ppl - these regulars - downright "bullies" ppl named within the piece (i.e. within the contents of the articles). The comments BULLY regarding looks, sex, race, monetary worth, intelligence and more. This is unacceptable - and these comments needs to be moderated - with those "bullying" comments removed immediately and the person writing them warned and then finally removed if they continue. Bullying is one of the most important issues on the forefront today. Parents and teachers continue trying desperately to teach our youth how wrong bullying is... and what can be the awful outcome from it. Bullying has been discussed in the most high office(s), to the family home, to the church - how wrong it is, yet the GH Tribune allows it and even seems to "grandstand" it - even allowing bullies to make REPEATED BULLYING (INCLUDING THREATS ) within their comments against others - within the online content of The Grand Haven Tribune. Please urge the Grand Haven Tribune to moderate these bullies once and for all AND FORCE THE USE OF REAL NAMES & ADDRESSES of those commenting, or withhold their privileges of commenting!

  • Nevada County: Remove Smart Meters
    We, the members of Stop Smart Meters of Nevada County, and the undersigned citizens, assert the following: Smart Meters, Gateway and/or Tropos devices are a hazard to the physical and mental health and safety of human beings, flora, and fauna ( plants and animals .) [ Gateway and/or Tropos devices for the purposes of this petition refers to: specific technological devices which aid in the transmission of Smart Meter communications and/or amplify/boost the power of Smart Meters.]; Peer reviewed science has demonstrated that children are especially vulnerable to the harmful forms of radiation emitted by Smart Meters, Gateway and/or Tropos devices; Smart Meters, Gateway and /or Tropos devices and their installation have been partially or completely responsible for numerous fires across the United States and Canada which have resulted in the loss of human life, as well as the lives of animals, and have caused millions of dollars in property damage; Smart Meters, Gateway and /or Tropos devices as they are interconnected and currently function have been proven to often misread utility customers' usage, and to artificially and arbitrarily inflate the bills of hundreds of utility customers; Smart Meters, Gateway and /or Tropos devices have been proven to be susceptible to computer hacking, and could thus be used for Eco Terrorism; Smart Meters, Gateway and /or Tropos devices transmit and report customers' private data without customers' consent; The above illegally collected data is then subject to being sold/used illegally; Smart Meters, Gateway and/or Tropos devices are capable of around-the-clock monitoring of certain activities and behaviors in citizens' homes, thereby violating their right to privacy under the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution; Several utility companies have lied, and continue to lie to citizens regarding their right to refuse Smart Meter installation, as well as misrepresented the health and safety risks of Smart Meters, Gateway and/or Tropos devices; Citizens of the United States and Canada have been illegally arrested for their refusal to have Smart Meters installed; Citizens of the United States and Canada have had their property rights violated and their property illegally damaged by utility companies and/or law enforcement when citizens refused the installation of Smart Meters; Utility customers have often been given no notice of Smart Meter installation, or have often been given inadequate notice of Smart Meter installation; The installation and use of Smart Meters, Gateway and/or Tropos devices has resulted in widespread job losses; Local governments' rights to protect the health, welfare, and safety of their citizens may supersede those of the California Public Utilities Commission; The citizens' group Stop Smart Meters of Nevada County shall provide to local authorities documentation to support the aforementioned assertions; We, Stop Smart Meters of Nevada County and the undersigned citizens request the following to these governmental entities of Nevada County, California: Grass Valley – City Council Nevada City – City Council Nevada County Board of Supervisors An immediate MORATORIUM on the further installation of of Smart Meters, Gateway Devices, and Tropos Devices throughout Nevada County, CA. The immediate BAN/ REMOVAL of all Smart Meters, Gateway Devices, and Tropos devices from Nevada County, CA. Utility companies will replace Smart Meters with traditional analogue meters with no costs being levied on the utility customers for said replacement. We also request for a study to be done study to determine the long term health, safety, and economic impact of Smart Meters, Gateway devices, and Tropos devices on Nevada County's citizens. Nevada County is a rural county with finite monetary resources, whereas the county's largest supplier/installer of Smart Meters is Pacific Gas and Electric, which has substantial financial resources. It is the contention of Stop Smart Meters of Nevada County and the undersigned citizens that Pacific Gas and Electric has installed thousands of Smart Meters in Nevada County without performing adequate, unbiased research as to the impact of this technology on the health and well-being of Nevada County citizens. Therefore, as a good faith effort, it is incumbent upon Pacific Gas and Electric to fund the requested study. We request that the Nevada County Board of Supervisors, with the assistance of Nevada County Counsel, oversee the hiring and ongoing work of an independent research firm to do said study. It is hoped that this will insure there is no conflict of interest on the part of Pacific Gas and Electric.
