We are the American Pie Council, a nationwide, non profit organization, located in Illinois, dedicated to the celebration, promotion and preservation of America's Pie Heritage and we would like to see pumpkin pie adopted as the official state pie of Illinois. Illinois produces 3 times as many pumpkins as any other state in the union, process 90-95% of the country's pumpkin and produces 85% of the world's canned pumpkin.

No child should have to fear judgment or retaliation from professional staff within our school districts. According to emails that have been forced public by the "Right To Know Law" cited by the KEYSTONE PROGRESS EDUCATION LAW and by Billplay.com. The South Williamsport School District Officials ( High School Principal, Superintendent, and School Board President) have been publicly confronted on their behavior pertaining to the sexual orientation of not only the student body but a play that was to take place within our school that was cancelled due to our Principal stating "He had concerns about the homosexual content of the play" and the Superintendent and School Board President attending a public forum and lying about it and stating that not such emails existed and making negative statements about bullying, such as bullying is a natural part of growing up, that bullying occurs all the time in their schools, that every child is subject to bullying, and that school officials and teachers cannot do anything to stop bullying. Bullying is to be legally reported by the District to state yet no reports have been made? I would like to see the District held accountable for its statements and the inappropriate educational philosophy/message forced on our children. There needs to be change , acceptance, and 0 tolerance for bullying in order for success to prevail in this District. Please visit both sites mentioned above for all released emails and video of bullying philosophy presented by the Superintendent and the School Board President.

Unlike every other chemical added to treat the water, fluoride is added to treat people. The CDC (1999) and the National Research Council (2006) have both stated that the fluoride benefit is topical and not systemic. Ingesting fluoride is harmful in a multitude of ways and has no effect on tooth decay.

Steven Moffat killed off Amy, River, and Rory. Not to mention he created those blasted Weeping Angels that haunt me at night. I believe he deserves to get drenched in ice cold water. Plus it would be hilarious to watch.

To keep Michael Jackson's Neverland Valley Ranch from being sold. His fans would love to be able to visit, just like Graceland in Tennessee; and just like Graceland, Neverland could bring in a lot of revenue for the State of California, which we know is needed. This would bring well needed taxes to our state plus jobs, which are needed. It also would bring visitors from all over the world, who will need hotels, food and shopping, which will bring in more income to the State of California.

Too many innocent people have been injured or killed while going around Lake Merced.

This summer, a team of kids has shown what great things can be accomplished with heart and hard work. When the Taney Dragons come home from the Little League World Series, Philadelphia should give them the championship parade they deserve. It doesn't have to be complicated or expensive, but these kids, their parents, and their coaches have done our city proud, going further in this championship than any Philadelphia team ever has. The Taney Dragons have broken records: the first Philadelphia team to win a state Little League championship, and the first to become regional Mid-Atlantic champions. They're exciting national and international baseball fans with their incredible talent and teamwork, inspiring a new generation of Philly kids to believe they can accomplish great things, and reminding us all of Philly's fighting spirit. They feature a groundbreaking female pitcher who is one of the best of any gender. They are racially diverse, and many of them attend Philly's public schools. As their biggest fans - their parents - like to say, "They're tough and gritty, those kids from the city!" We know the Taney Dragons didn't make it all the way, but they're already true champions, and Philly should throw them a championship celebration.

A radical anti-wolf group has applied to the Bureau of Land Management for permission to hold a wolf and coyote killing "derby" on public lands surrounding the Salmon, Idaho, area. This is the second derby in the same area organized by the group Idaho for Wildlife. The contest has historically awarded prizes for the most carcasses and for the largest wolf carcass taken by participants. Contests like this have no place on public lands. They put individuals, pets, and native wildlife at great peril and are in complete opposition to responsible, ethical hunting. Please ask the Bureau of Land Management to deny permission for the proposed wolf and coyote killing derby in the Salmon, Idaho, area.

It is only fair to the people that drive the streets of Chicago that a moratorium be placed on the automated traffic violation system, or red light camera system, until it has been determined that the process is fair and just. Fair and just practices should be the goal of government in Illinois, as it aims to protect the welfare and safety of everyone living in and visiting Illinois.

The Pawnee Buttes are two, erosion created, landmarks located in Weld County Colorado. North by northeast of Greeley Colorado they are the prominent features of the Pawnee National Grasslands. They have historic, ecological, anthropological and geological significance. They are endangered by development and mechanized use, and need to be preserved for posterity.

The Town of Shelburne, the Village of Shelburne Falls and the surrounding Hilltowns are still relatively healthy places to live. But we are in the midst of a major build out of antennas by AT&T and others who are willing to disregard the research demonstrating serious health damage from wireless radiation (EMF) in the name of "universal coverage" while continually redefining what is "adequate" coverage (3G, 4G, etc.). Now a local entrepreneur named Christopher Gray wants to install antennas in our communities to provide wireless internet signal through his company Hilltown Networks. While we certainly want to do as much of our spending locally as possible, it can not come with health costs for the entire community - including anyone who does not need Mr. Gray's services but is unfortunate enough to live within line of sight of the Shelburne fire tower where he wants to install one of his antennas in exchange for providing free internet service to Town Hall OR unfortunate enough to live next door to someone who becomes a Hilltown Networks customer and will receive radiation from his or her neighbor's receiver as it continuously searches for signal with its' own signal (cell phones work the same way). Some relevant points: 1. There are now more than 6,000 independent studies which demonstrate biological harm from high frequency radiation (EMF/RF). 2. The vast majority of people whose health would be impacted by another source of EMF through Mr. Gray's proposal already have access to high speed wired internet through Comcast (ie, all the residents of the village of Shelburne Falls and people who live along Route 2). The Shelburne Cable Advisory Board and others have been working for years for a town-owned wired solution which can happen if we don't "settle" (see link below for how Shelburne citizens can advocate for this). 3. Although there are certainly people in Shelburne Center who would take Mr. Gray up on his offer, there are, no doubt, many others who would not appreciate another uninvited source of electromagnetic pollution. 4. There will be no end to the wireless proposals coming to one Board or another in Shelburne. The Mass Department of Utilities ordered WMECO and other utilities to install "smart meters" on every residents' home on June 12th. Given the challenge that the town is going to face to provide a relatively safe environment for its' residents as these mandates/proposals continue to come in, the sooner the town is able to develop its' own sense of ideal levels of EMF exposure and from which sources we are willing to tolerate this exposure, the better. Given the big picture, saying yes to Mr. Gray when we are closer than we've ever been to a wired Comcast or town-owned solution would not be in the best interest of the majority of residents - particularly children whose thinner skulls and developing nervous systems make them especially vulnerable.
