I live on The Toledo in Naples, Long Beach. Every day, especially around rush hour, I've noticed cars speeding by way too fast for a neighborhood, especially since Naples Elementary School is on The Toledo. There are signs of course, but signs are easy to ignore. There should be speed bumps on either side of the school, which is also the stretch of the street where drivers can reach their highest speeds.

Our horses shaped America and we need to stand up for them. The horses of this country are companion animals and are to be kept that way. The horses shipped to slaughter are in a living hell before they are cruelly killed and slaughtered. I have a daily concern that my precious horse could be stolen and shipped to a slaughter house. Please share a horse lover's concern.

Due to the recent changes in federal law. The western North Carolina band of Cherokee Native Americans and EBCI council can now grow and sale medical Marijuana to thier tribe and to those who are in need of pain relief within it without risk of addiction or worse. As I myself lost my only sister to a legally sold and taxed synthetic marijuana, trying to pass a probation screening. If you wish to do more or reach the tribal members you may do so here.. http://theonefeather.com/cherokee-elected-officials Thanks Casey Lee

Citizens of the United States do not wish our agents to use torture under any circumstances. It is not only wrong, it will result in harm to our troops and other citizens. Nothing Dick Cheney or the head of the CIA can say will change the fact that the end does not justify the means. The US is in violation of the Geneva Convention and our own laws. The Nation says: "Human experimentation was a core feature of the CIA’s torture program. The experimental nature of the interrogation and detention techniques is clearly evident in the Senate Intelligence Committee’s executive summary of its investigative report, despite redactions (insisted upon by the CIA) to obfuscate the locations of these laboratories of cruel science and the identities of perpetrators. At the helm of this human experimentation project were two psychologists hired by the CIA, James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen. They designed interrogation and detention protocols that they and others applied to people imprisoned in the agency’s secret “black sites.” In its response to the Senate report, the CIA justified its decision to hire the duo: “We believe their expertise was so unique that we would have been derelict had we not sought them out when it became clear that CIA would be heading into the uncharted territory of the program.” Mitchell and Jessen’s qualifications did not include interrogation experience, specialized knowledge about Al Qaeda or relevant cultural or linguistic knowledge. What they had was Air Force experience in studying the effects of torture on American prisoners of war, as well as a curiosity about whether theories of “learned helplessness” derived from experiments on dogs might work on human enemies. To implement those theories, Mitchell and Jessen oversaw or personally engaged in techniques intended to produce “debility, disorientation and dread.” Their “theory” had a particular means-ends relationship that is not well understood, as Mitchell testily explained in an interview on Vice News: “The point of the bad cop is to get the bad guy to talk to the good cop.” In other words, “enhanced interrogation techniques” (the Bush administration’s euphemism for torture) do not themselves produce useful information; rather, they produce the condition of total submission that will facilitate extraction of actionable intelligence."

To address the issue of the Millard County Planning Commission undertaking intrusive, overreaching regulation without effective representation, and that has been completely unresponsive to public input and concerns expressed by members of the public.

testing is hard on me.

Getting a B in a class could potentially jeopardize an entire high school "career", and therefore in a class where only a few have A's a compensation is warranted. ***EDIT: Due to some email responses, we are making a new request: Please curve the test grades, final exam, or other compensation to raise people's semester averages.

Digitally inspired acts of hatred and violence like racism, hate crimes, sexual exploitation, cyber bullying, and body dysmorphia (among others) have had a powerful negative impact on our culture for the past 20 years, in part because younger generations feel more involved in the digital world than the real world. It's time to change that, by implementing a new national educational policy where volunteer hours are weighted equally with SAT scores/other factors on college applications. Social media would be the primary, positive platform where youth can fulfill their mandatory quota, raise awareness about real-world issues, and help turn around all these negative headlines.

my husband who is in prison at this moment was informed about this he is a frist time offender and is wrongly convicted innocent

Someone I care about who I have known for years prior to his arrest, Roderick "Rudd" Walker was sentenced to LIFE for LSD Conspiracy in Federal District of Oklahoma in Tulsa based solely on the testimony of others with no physical evidence of any drug. New evidence has been discovered that both DEA agent Sean Henry and the Federal Prosecutor Robert Thames Raley were aware of. One of the witnesses who testified against Rudd, Steven Weller, was offered immunity for his testimony. http://www.scribd.com/doc/76147024/Attachment-S-Steven-Weller (the link to see Weller’s offer of immunity). Both the prosecutor and Rudd’s defense attorney knew of Weller’s offer of immunity in exchange for his testimony against Rudd. Steven was directly asked if he was offered immunity on the witness stand and he denied being offered any immunity. The prosecutor and DEA agent Sean Henry did not correct the witness and suborn perjury. The jury who convicted Rudd was never aware of this. All witnesses had immunity and other pending cases and failed to disclose their deals they had like Steven Weller. Please view the USA Today articles on our site that had same violations raised by others as this same issue Rudd has and all them were released where there was no physical evidence but only testimony and having the same issue as Rudd were released. We demand this "that Rudd be released based on the same violations that he be treated the same way" By signing this petition you are supporting a complaint of the prosecutor misconduct to the Dept of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility and to DEMAND an investigation into Rudd’s case. Also you are imploring the Oklahoma Bar Association and NORML to investigate Rudd’s paid attorney, Mike Arnett, who had failed to defend Rudd's rights. Rudd has already served 10 years of his Life sentence. He is a kind person who did not rape or murder or hurt anyone and does not deserve a life sentence or to even be convicted in the first place. Rudd is a father of two kids who have already missed 10 years of having a father. He deserves to be home with his family. This type of injustice can happen to anyone and is not what our country was founded on. That is why signing this petition is very important. Please sign my petition asking the Justice Department to review the perjury on record and fraud committed by the courts and civil violations against Rudd who should not be left to DIE IN PRISON only based on false testimony and fraud without any physical evidence. Please visit Rudd’s Facebook support page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Free-Roderick-Rudd-Walker-LSD-Prisoner/321368794554295 And his petition for clemency: https://www.change.org/p/clemency-for-roderick-walker-life-for-lsd You can also write Rudd at Roderick Walker #13615-055 USP Hazelton PO Box 2000 Bruceton Mills, WV 26525

Making a change to the dress code that would make kids' and parents' lives easier, instead of more challenging, would be greatly appreciated. We've endured countless little changes to the uniform code over the past 6-7 years. Complying with the many changes while knowing there is little real return is frustrating, but we've done it. White socks and tights: that is all we're asking. We have been good with keeping up with the uniform merry-go-round, but we're getting dizzy and unamused after yearly, tedious changes. Since this change can only be an aesthetic one, we promise the girls will look just as adorable in white.
