The Town of Chevy Chase initially objected to the installation of portables at Chevy Chase Elementary School (CCES) to preserve open space in the Town. MCPS Director of Department of Facilites, James Song, proposed and agreed to dismantling the CCES computer lab and converting the space to a classroom and eliminated the second portable. Other elementary schools in our cluster are not losing their computer labs as a result of technical modernization. Our student population is growing and we will need the space afforded by a second portable. Town of Chevy Chase Mayor Strom has written a letter to MCPS indicating that the Town has removed its objection to the second portable and has agreed to defer to MCPS in assessing the need of a second portable classroom. Given this recent development, CCES needs to obtain a second portable classroom and NOT lose its cherished computer lab. we ask that MCPS stick to its previously approved plan.

Too many children are being removed from safe homes to unsafe homes. My son was removed from my home under false allegations and placed with his dad who denied him at birth when he did not sign the birth certificate or come around at all till he was 11. He only saw him three times after then. My sons 14 now his dad has given him marajuana and smoked it with him, he's also given him alcohol, tried to fight him under the influence of alcohol and drugs, and threaten to put him out for telling me what was going on. I expressed these concerns to the worker, her supervisor, and the hot line and still I've received no help.

"As a former student at Fuller Seminary, I know how hard it is to find housing that's affordable. Now that I live in a low-income area of Pasadena, I witness the challenges that many here face to afford to remain here when they are being squeezed out by the rising cost of housing. 23,000 household in Pasadena are in need of affordable housing. Students will be competing with those long term residents who grew up in Pasadena and are being priced out and displaced, for the same precious few affordable units that exist. Please sign this petition and attend the Pasadena City Council meeting when this will be address, likely on June 23rd, at 7 pm. The Council Chambers are located at the southeast corner of the second floor of the City Hall. Contact me confirm the date: [email protected]

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every year more than two million people are hospitalized and 23,000 die because they have been infected with antibiotic-resistant bacteria. We're now in danger of returning to an age when simple infections are potentially fatal. Our decision-makers need to hear from the public, and it needs to happen quickly. That’s why we've launched a campaign to stop the overuse of antibiotics where the problem is the worst -- on factory farms that mix antibiotics right into the feed of healthy animals. In fact, 80 percent of the antibiotics sold in the U.S. are for animals. The result? Bacteria that come into contact with these animals mutate and become resistant to antibiotics, and the infections these bacteria cause -- everything from pneumonia to MRSA -- become harder and harder to treat. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the authority to stop the worst overuse of antibiotics on factory farms. Please join us in calling on the FDA to act now.

The School Board is stripping away the right for Volunteer Coach's to drive their Athletes to and from Athletic events.

Just as the late-night T service begins, the MBTA is planning to cut cleaning services to the bone beginning September 1st. At stations across the Greater Boston, nearly 100 out of 315 janitors are about to lose their jobs – nearly 1/3 of the total cleaning workforce. This means grime-filled staircases, dirty walls, garbage-strewn stations and sticky floors. I´ve been cleaning these stations for over 8 years. These cuts are not going to work . . . and we are going to smell the results.

Too many young kids are being beat senseless with the goal of making this website.

The Free State criminal rule was eventually condemned in its day by the international community. However, history was forgotten and currently Belgium is denying the truth, glorifying Leopold II with monuments and euro coins. Even though there were some books written recently and the British Parliament proposed a motion on it in 2006, this horrific murderous regime has not yet received its due historical justice.

PLEASE OPEN THE SUNRISE SIDE OF THE PARK NOW Mt. Rainier National Park puts huge efforts into the Paradise side of the Park benefitting the small towns along the way while our Sunrise side is low on the priority list. Help us send a message to the Park that Enumclaw and Sunrise matter. Lost visitor traffic through our community irreparably damages our small hometown economy. The National Park service calls Enumclaw a "Gateway Community." The roads are nearly cleared and plowed. The gates should open. The Park website currently shows a planned opening date for Sunrise of July 3rd. Paradise, and the Paradise area is kept open year-round with plans to open a second road - Paradise Valley on June 20th. The lack of an earlier opening date unfairly hurts businesses in Enumclaw, Greenwater and Crystal Mountain - sending Mt. Rainier traffic through Ashford to the other side of the Park. We are asking for the road to open by next weekend, June 20, if not sooner.

NMEDA was informed of voting violations in their contest. Rather than address those, they blocked the whistleblower. Help demand a transparent contest and the truth by signing.

We feel that this is not the right location for a Dollar General. A large corporate company in a small neighborhood is not a right fit. Childrens' bus stops are at this exact location and we feel is a danger to their well being and safety.
