The 2000 E Biddle Street vacant properties have been a hub for drug use, homelessness, and temporary dump site of materials. As our Mayor has requested, these sites are to be revitalized to support more green communities, with beauty and safety as the top priority. These buildings are not doing neither and should be demolished.

The City and County of San Francisco is directly harming the health and welfare of residents via the Department of Building Inspection issuing nighttime noisy construction permits to construction projects located within 500' of residential buildings. See this news video about this issue: http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/San-Francisco-SoMa-Residents-Frustrated-Over-Construction-Noise-277983901.html Night Noise permits are recorded here: http://sfdbi.org/night-noise-permits There are many health, safety, and well-being harms created by the middle of the night harassment of construction noise that the City has been excessively permitting, such as (source: http://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/excessive-sleepiness-10/10-results-sleep-loss ) 1) Sleepiness Causes Accidents 2) Sleep Loss Dumbs You Down 3) Sleep Deprivation Can Lead to Serious Health Problems, such as: Heart disease Heart attack Heart failure Irregular heartbeat High blood pressure Stroke Diabetes 4) Sleepiness Is Depressing 5) Sleepiness Makes You Forgetful 6) Losing Sleep Can Make You Gain Weight 7) Lack of Sleep May Increase Risk of Death 8) Sleep Loss Impairs Judgment OUR HEALTH IS NOT FOR SALE.

Supporters are striving for a balanced Senate

We, the undersigned, wish to express our concern regarding the recently enacted policy of photo-video enforcement of speed limits in Nassau County school zones. While we appreciate the intention to increase safety, we question the fairness of the way in which this policy has been implemented. Engineering and education should always precede enforcement. Specifically, there has been a sudden computerized enforcement of school zone speed limits that have rarely, if ever, been enforced before. This has resulted in multiple, though unintentional and unknowing, violations and huge fines. This does not constitute fairness or due process. In the interest of compassion, a warning would be more appropriate for first-time offenders, as well as for those who may have committed multiple violations in a very short period, but were informed of the first one and subsequent ones only weeks later. We agree with Judy Jacobs, who has called for the County Executive to "stop the program cold, now, and reassess how to continue in a fair and equitable way." We, therefore, petition the Legislature for a moratorium, and the courts for leniency, in the administration of fines and penalties assessed under this new policy, until a fair and compassionate system can be put into operation.

Diana is a very responsible and hardworking woman who has done so much for the girls of Taft-Vandoren. She truly deserves her job as RA.

The growing violence within daycare facilities today is not acceptable. We need better protection for our children! The children are suffering and nothing is being done to give families peace of mind.

EVERY YEAR 58,000 CHILDREN ARE SENT FOR CUSTODY OR UNPROTECTED VISITATION WITH A DANGEROUS ABUSER. EVERY COUNTY IN EVERY STATE HARBORS DANGEROUS JUDGES. NO CHILD IS SAFE. http://www.leadershipcouncil.org/1/med/PR3.html In addition, in 2013 the Center for Disease Control concluded a lengthy investigation into adverse childhood experiences. The ACE study is one of the largest medical investigations ever conducted to assess associations between childhood maltreatment and later-life health and well-being. They found that a child’s exposure to certain trauma’s, including domestic violence or child sexual abuse, resulted in more illnesses and injuries to children in childhood through adulthood (i.e., social emotional and cognitive impairment; adoption of health-risk behaviors; disease, disability and social problems; and premature death). This study demonstrates how a child’s exposure to domestic or sexual abuse is a PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE. Yet every year, an estimated 58,000 children are sent for custody or unprotected visitation with a reported abuser. So how is this happening? Although research confirms that deliberately false allegations by mothers in child sexual abuse cases occurs less than 2% of the time, 85% of these cases results in custody to the alleged abuser—which means our courts are sending children to live with their rapist. Inadequately trained professionals tend to believe the myth that mothers frequently make false allegations. Therefore, in thinking they have the needed expertise, they don't listen to domestic violence or child abuse evidence, experts, or consider current research. Mothers are then forced into poverty trying to protect their children-- while, their children continue to be abused. Mr. President, we now have the medical research to declare domestic violence and child abuse a PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE. The Justice Department reports that only 10% of children are protected from further abuse once they report. The U.S. Department of Justice's Saunders report states that the STANDARD and REQUIRED domestic violence training received by judges, lawyers, and evaluators does not adequately prepare them to handle abuse cases. WE ARE PETITIONING FOR AN INVESTIGATION OF FAMILY COURT PRACTICES IN AN EFFORT TO STOP STATE JUDGES FROM FORCING DEFENSELESS CHILDREN TO BE HARMED BY ABUSERS. WE WANT AN AUDIT OF THE FUNDING TO THE COURTS, AND ADDRESS THIS FUNDING THAT IS GENDER BASED AND FUELING THE WAR ON WOMEN AND CHILDREN. WE WANT A MOTHERHOOD.GOV THAT WILL PROTECT OUR RIGHTS TO PARENT AND PROTECT OUR CHILDREN. We thank you in advance for your support.

There have been too many accidents at this intersection, many of them involving young drivers. A new bike path has recently been completed, which only adds to the complexity of this intersection. We must slow down or stop traffic at this intersection as a matter of public safety.

We must stand together and demand action!

Chuck Todd has become the news rather than reporting it by claiming that Alison Lundergan Grimes refusal to answer a question that should not have been asked, and that she answered properly by giving no answer Todd said, "It just came across as you are trying to be a US senator, you want to cast tough votes? You can’t even answer that question? It borders on disqualification. To some voters they are going to sit there and say I can’t vote for you and I don’t want to vote for him. I don’t know what to do." This is an opinion stated as fact and that is quite wrong for several reasons. His presence on Meet the Press and other so-called news programs by NBC or MSNBC makes anything he says questionable and certain means it is not new.

Our children innocently attend school and many activities each day. We want the U.S. borders closed to keep the Ebola virus out of the United States.

Because I have so many friends that live in the trails that I go to school with right now & I don't want to be separated from them. And some siblings will be separated
