  • Save the Animals
    There are too many people who are dumping off their pets along the roads, killing them, beating them, hoarding them, running puppy mills and fighting them with other animals. People should have to qualify to adopt a pet from anywhere and from anyone. If they can not afford them, then they should not be allowed to care for them. It is a proven fact that even though pets forgive unconditionally, they still have the emotions, feelings and the mentality of a 3 to 5 year old. Imagine someone mistreating your child at that age; they would go to jail and be charged with a felony. We rescued a sky terrier that was kept in a cage, fed saw dust and molasses, never taken out of the pen, picked up by her ears, and continuously bred for half her life. When we got her home and sat her in the grass, she got used to it and she ran and jumped and rolled in it. You would have thought she was crazy when all it was was excitement to be able to run and play. We rescued another puppy. When the owner would return to his house and the puppy barked and jumped with excitement, the man kicked the puppy clear across the room yelling at it to shut up and get down. These two dogs are the most gentle babies ever. We could go on and on about animals we have rescued but won't do that. Please, let's get the word out and stop animal cruelty.

  • We The People
    I turned 80 this past year. I have lived through a lot of history: World War 2, the invention and proliferation of nuclear and chemical weapons, space explorations, the movements for civil rights, workers rights, women's rights, marriage rights, questionable wars, global conflicts, our perpetual state of war, growing economic inequality and corporate greed... I am proud to stand with those of the younger generation in the fight for peace, justice and equality!

  • BCOA Board - Storage Room Reconsideration
    Firstly, let us express our appreciation for the efforts of the Board of Directors and its managing Agent, in particular through many of the recent difficulties and challenges. Also, we completely understand the importance of compliance with City regulations and the need to be mindful of liability issues. However, many of the Bayside Court Community are concerned about the imminent evacuation and structural plans for the storage room.

  • Please bring Sonic.net to San Mateo County California
    My name is Luciano Nova. I have been a resident of Pacifica, California since 2008. I write to you this email with concerning an issue very important to myself, to everyone pertaining to the internet the future of broadband that many people are not aware of. I have been an AT&T customer since I moved to this beautiful city In April of 2008. I have never had an issue with the service. Customer service was always good, connection was always solid and line trouble issues were minimum. If there ever was an issue with connecting to the internet, maybe once or twice did a tech have to come out and repair a line. Most of the time it was because of the modem settings that needed to be either rebooted or reset. However that being said, dry loop copper DSL service at 3megs or 6 megs is NOT cheap. I also do not understand why they have a monthly data cap of 150 gigabytes a month in place. With services like Netflix, Amazon Fire TV coming online and competing with traditional television and cable services and not to mention video conferencing, websites such as YOU TUBE and gaming consoles, a 150 gigabyte cap is outright extortion. AT&T does not even offer u-verse in my area while advertising that they do. The only difference between AT&T's monthly cap and that of their competitor Comcast in my area being 300gigs is that at one time they would outright call and threaten a user with “using the internet too much” and would threaten that subscriber with disconnection for a year. AT&T charges $10 for every additional 50gigs a subscriber goes over. I never once received warnings from AT&T but I also understand network management and congestion. The reason why I chose DSL over cable is because they much more redundant and designed to function efficiently regardless of the number of users given at anytime. That’s how the old fixed line telephone system worked. Cable lines are shared and speeds vary due to traffic by any given number of users at any time. Now many alternative news sites are reporting that AT&T and Verizon do not want to maintain the aging copper (former telephone) infrastructure that DSL currently functions on, so both companies have begun going state by state gutting all regulations and 1) either to abandon them forcing people to move to very expensive limited wireless services they provide OR to cable internet which is even more expensive, OR satellite if they are even available OR 2) selling those unwanted DSL infrastructure to smaller ISPs like Frontier, Fairpoint, Century Link (formerly known as Quest), or the one that is my area called sonic.net. In a few towns south of here in the Peninsula in Santa Cruz, AT&T’s DSL service hasn’t been running well and they have not come out to repair or correct the problems. Now the question becomes this : What exactly is AT&T doing? What is AT&T investing? are they going to sell their DSL copper network in my area which is Pacifica California to sonic.net or another ISP? If AT&T is unwilling to invest in DSL, they SHOULD sell to sonic.net. I wrote a complaint to the FCC because I as an internet subscriber object to data caps unless ISPs like AT&T are treated and regulated like utilities. If ISPs like AT&T want to impose monthly data caps on subscribers like an energy utility then TITLE II utility regulations need to be in place. I’ve started a petition in the city of Pacifica to bring sonic.net here. I want competition in my area. AT&T I’ve never had an issue with them. I can honestly say while service is much slower than cable, internet connection is stable and truthfully solid. But because I watch streaming TV via Amazon Prime and Netflix and I am a gamer as well work from home, this 150 gigabyte monthly cap is simply another revenue stream for AT&T and not enough. I know several people who have sonic.net and all have told me how good the service is and having visited a friend's home who has it, I have to agree. For DSL, it's faster and more solid than AT&T. AT&T offers internet speeds of 6megs while sonic is 10megs with some areas reaching up to 20megs. I don't understand how a smaller carrier Sonic versus a much larger one AT&T both functioning on a copper network is delivering better and faster service and is cheaper too. Please Mr. Jasper, I urge you to come to the Peninsula area including Pacifica. Please bring Sonic.net here. https://www.sonic.com/availability Thank you. Sincerely, Luciano Nova.

  • No prison in Tooele!
    We as Tooele residents are tired of the state looking at us as a dumping ground. We have a beautiful valley, we like the space, we are not looking for large growth. Our roads are not enough to support the traffic, and we don't have the water to support a prison. Just having the space is not the only thing to consider.

  • Atty General Mills: Stop Your Theft of Penobscot Territory
    As a Penobscot and an historian I wondered how my ancestors felt as they endured the loss and destruction of their territory. Sadly, 190 years into this age-old clash of cultures, I'm experiencing for myself the deep sorrow and hopelessness. This latest threat to Penobscot ancestral territory has resulted in Penobscot Nation v. Mills, a federal court case that's sure to be lengthy and costly. The State of Maine needs to stop its ridiculous assertion that the ancient Penobscot Indian Nation does not include its ancestral waterways. Maine priorities should be elsewhere - not on dispossessing its indigenous peoples of yet more territory.

  • Bicycle safety in St Augustine
    It's about getting sidewalks and street lights on some of the side roads where there are none and need to be, as well as stricter speed enforcement. My other half and I have been affected by there not being any lights or sidewalks on some of the roads. I got hit by a driver on King's Estate in November; two days after my accident, a guy got killed on Hilltop Road. We ride our bikes and walk these roads to get to and from work and stores as well as other places.. Pedestrians are disregarded by drivers on those roads, and feel unsafe walking, let alone riding bikes on the roads out of fear of being hit.
