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!

The real estate development mega-corporation Panoramic Interests seeks to demolish a historic mural commemorating the Independent Living Movement in Berkeley, CA. Given the historic significance of the site, we are petitioning Panoramic Interests to fund a monument to celebrate the notable achievement of the Berkeley disabled community in advancing the global Independent Living Movement.

JRW has faced unnecessary scrutiny after winning the series through hard work and dedication. Every child, no matter their zipcode should be afforded opportunities provided by Little League and other community organizations. The team won through hard work and dedication and the championship title belongs to them.

Over the last almost five years I have been entangled in a very high conflict divorce. When this all began, I thought that it would be simple, I was leaving my abuser and I would walk away with what was rightfully mine. There was a judge involved, and he would have to uphold the law of the land. Little did I know that his lackadaisical decisions would lead to my ex gaining the upper hand. Now here I am. Almost two years ago when I refused to go along with what my ex wanted he threatened to file bankruptcy. He was advised by many legal professionals that this would not be a wise decision as financially there was no need. He was at risk of being in contempt and possibly going to jail. We had mediation on July 21 and court on July 22; twenty-two minutes before our hearing the judge received the notice that he had filed bankruptcy. Financially there was no need other than keeping him out of jail, as his contempt was financial, and the bankruptcy would stay the hearing. With him filing bankruptcy, which was fraudulent and is being regarded as such by the Federal Bankruptcy Trustee, I am now losing everything. I want to make sure that this is unable to happen to anyone else. We did have some tax debt that if you do some research you will find that you cannot eliminate tax debt through bankruptcy. We owned our lives outright for the most part and he filed this bankruptcy on $32,000.00 worth of debt This could have been resolved with a parcel of land or some other thing could have been sold off to relieve this debt. I am asking you today to sign my petition, so no one else has to have their family drug through this kind of ridiculousness. I would have never believed that there was the ability for someone to do this.
