• Equal punishment for statutory rape victims male or female
    To get an understanding of the system and the injustice for men. I have witnessed an incident such as this and the female started it by texting this young male phone and her father called the police and pressed charges. The text messages were still in this female phone when her daddy saw them. I believe the bond was set because the black daddy was a physical therapist of the small town. It was more her fault as well as the male and his bond was set at $100,000.00. This was not fair to the male and he has a good head on his shoulder and this was very sad to the entire family as well.

  • Take prescription drug advertisements off television
    I became very ill in 2011, and was soon bulldozed on 16 different pharmaceutical medications. I was given one medication and then more to treat the side effects of that and so on. I had been told that I was going to die either from the medication or from the disease that I had. Since that time, I have been disabled. With that, I have been home and watching more television than I ever have in my life. While gravely ill, I remember watching the advertisements and wanting to feel well and happy and do all of the positive things that they show in the ads. I have been taking back my health over the last year. It is a process and I am on a positive recovery pattern. Part of my recovery has been to reduce pharmaceuticals and only take them when the benefit outweighs the risk. While this is a personal choice one must make, it is essential to taking back one's health. I am not only recovering from the effects of the diseases I have, but also from pharmaceutical overload. I believe the advertisements are detrimental to a person's health, and often create tunnel vision with regard to health choices. Also, the subliminal seduction associated with advertising on television is no place for body and mind altering substances. Isn't that part of the reason that we took tobacco advertisements off of television? Let's put prescription drug information back where it should be. At the physician's office. Thank you.

  • 2 years, U.S. citizen has undergone beatings and no medical care.
    We want Hassan Rouhani President of Iran to free a US prisoner. As he attends UN talks and makes calm claims and thanks the world for their alliances to eradicate "terrorism" he leaves clear messages in his speech and actions that expose his real intentions. In his speech he states that the world must do everything it can to stop terrorism and makes it clear that as long as tiny fractions exist the world should be in fear... so in cryptic language he is saying basically there is nothing you can do to stop them and the terror they seek to project. And he clearly holds an American in prison that is beaten and treated terribly for 2 years. Cut the crap, send a clear thank you to the world’s leader in fighting terrorism and free an innocent US citizen.

  • MCPS Holiday Petition
    As an international student with an East Asian background first enrolled in MCPS in 2011, I acknowledge that the Jewish New Year is one of the official holidays in the school district; however, Lunar New Year, one of the most significant holidays appreciated by East Asian cultures, is not. I understand MCPS has a growing Asian population and I wish this petition could persuade MCPS to adopt Lunar New Year as one of its official holidays.

  • Tighten underage drinking laws.
    My son Matthew Carr was at an underage party. The legal age for drinking in Missouri is twenty one. He was seventeen. The police left them at the party. No one tried to take his keys. The police did not take him to jail or call parents. Two and a half hours later he was dead, as he hit a tree driving home.

  • Keep Yoga Classes in The Silverlake Meadow
    Our goal is to continue providing quality public yoga classes at the Silverlake Meadow with support of the city of Los Angeles by having the option to obtain a permit to instruct classes in the park. At the present time, the city's policy is NOT to offer permits for the meadow, which is confounding. We offer yoga classes at the meadow to promote health, wellness, fitness and happiness to our community at an affordable price. We believe we are offering a positive service that honors the uniqueness of the residents and neighborhood of Silverlake with little or no-impact to the park itself. We are also tired of being harassed and threatened on a continuous basis by the LAPD officers who have been called to our meadow classes by one irate and annoyed Silverlake resident. This resident has shouted and screamed directly to Stefani Manger, the founder of the Collective on two different accounts to make it clear we were not welcomed by her or the law. Please allow us to teach peaceful yoga classes lawfully in our beloved meadow. Thank you and namaste, Stefani Manger, the teachers and students of the Silverlake Meadow Yoga Collective

  • emergency response for animals in need
    I was driving down the road when I spotted a woman walking a severely emaciated dog. The dog could hardly walk and she continued to pull the leash and force it to walk even though it seemed to be in pain. I called 911 and they transferred me to animal control. Animal control told me to file a complaint online. This dog will most likely never be seen again and will probably die of starvation. We need to have some sort of emergency response for these animals. Whether it be a local police department or more accountablily from animal control, something needs to change. If it were a starving child, they would not have been forgotten on the side of the road.

  • Snacks for Cardinal Ridge
    The students and teachers at Cardinal Ridge Elementary School should be allowed to have a snack during the school day. A hungry child loses interest in the subject matter they are studying. In addition to the educational benefits, snacking meets a necessary physical need for the students. Since children have smaller stomachs than adults, healthy snacking between meals provides nutrients to help them meet their daily nutritional needs. The USDA reports that healthy snacks can satisfy nutrient gaps and provide up to 1/4 of a child’s daily energy needs.
