Ronnie West-Howard is a friend to all in the school. He is a nice, friendly student who was given the maximum punishment which he did not deserve. We want him back in school.

Knowing the horrible truth, we must do the right thing. Ringling Bros. Circus has been coming to Greensboro for about 50 years. This has to come to a halt because wild animals are NOT on the earth for human entertainment! Greensboro is a more compassionate people than to allow this to continue to happen.

I feel like an opportunity is an opportunity whether it's here in the United states, Mexico or north korea.... Also not afraid to bring up a political situation

I am starting this petition because after several of us parents have complained and called the schools, the Super Intendant, and the Sumter bus transportation offices, nothing has been done. We've even contacted media with no results. We are tired of fearing for our children every time they get on their buses. The drivers yell at the children, make them stand in the isle if they talk at all (unsafe), squeeze up to 4 per seat and then drive so fast and sharp that if they happen to slam their head on the seat in front of them, they get yelled at or for falling into the isle. They speed and often have almost hit a child or backed into a car, they have been caught swearing vulgar language in front of the children, often kids come off the bus in tears. We want cameras on the buses, we want more than one bus picking up all 3 schools, and we want drivers fired and investigated if need be!

The Manhattan Club tarnishes the image of NYC Tourism. The Manhattan Club Timeshare (TMC) is a New York City scam. The Manhattan Club (TMC) uses misleading and false advertising and sales presentations to sell worthless timeshares in its 286 room property. The Manhattan Club is oversold but continues to sell timeshares via the internet, mailed brochures, telemarketing and street kiosks in several US cities including a kiosk in Times Square. The Manhattan Club uses the US mail and the internet to defraud the public and sell their worthless timeshares. Manhattan Club timeshares have sold on eBay for $1. One "owner" who paid $84,000 sold his time share for $2. The Manhattan Club is the subject of thousands of complaints filed over many years with the Better Business Bureau and The N.Y. Attorney General's Office. The New York Attorney General's Office refuses to protect consumers. The Manhattan Club uses aggressive and harassing collection techniques to collect exorbitant maintenance fees for rooms "owners" cannot book.

Washington Park has been a health and fitness inspiring place for Colorado residents and known for its patrons love of sports like Volleyball, Football, Soccer and other mixed use. We the patrons of the park do not wish to be limited in our use or required to pay or apply for drop-in permits for a park that we already pay taxes to enjoy.

Our block is residential and the restaurant at 461 West 23rd Street (Barchetta) has applied for outdoor cafe tables. They are doing this with disregard for the fact that our block is residential and this would set an unacceptable precedent. They said they are doing it to "advertise" their location. Their outdoor cafe tables will negatively impact the quality of life for all residents on the block. It will obstruct and restrict the sidewalk for people with disabilities, the elderly, people with children (strollers) and pet owners. It will cause excessive noise, smoke, garbage, odors, vermin and lower the quality of life for residents and lower property values. OUR BLOCK IS RESIDENTIAL---NO SIDEWALK CAFES!

There are several off-shelves video phone communication products such as Skype, ooVoo, FaceTime, Tango, among countless different products available for customers to choose. At the moment, they are not interoperable with each other, forcing us to have each one in our systems or various hardware to choose to talk to friends on a similar system. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has the power/authority to order interoperability among those products. We need to ASK FCC to do this so our customers can choose a product of their own to work with their peer's choices of products just like the current Cellular/ Land-line phone systems work. Please sign the Petition to show FCC, “we the people” need all videophones to be interoperable! We need to work together to ask FCC to make this happen so we all can communicate with anybody without going through the hassle of making sure what product the other end has. This will help increase true accessibility for our Deaf & Hard of Hearing friends in reaching out to their peers and hearing counterparts without the manipulation of the current Video Relay Service companies to be coerced into utilizing their product only.

My children and their friends studied Andrew Jackson and decided he should not be on our money. They need 100,000 signatures to their White House petition to get the president to respond. Please go to the website to read more and sign the petition: http://wh.gov/lADtA

Almost without fail, every mass murderer and serial killer, when captured, has admitted that one of the reasons he did it was that he wanted to "make a name for himself." As someone said, "In their warped minds, it's better to be a terrible somebody than a pathetic nobody." The media has always been happy to fulfill this twisted need for fame at any cost. Charles Manson, who should have been shot behind the courthouse the day he was found guilty of multiple murders in 1971, is still alive and enjoying his fame. He has been interviewed multiple times, always smiling arrogantly while his victims' remain dead and their names fade from memory. Do you see something wrong with this picture? To make matters worse, future killers, seeing the fame their fellow sicko's achieve, are encouraged to embark upon their serial killing career, or plan the mass murder that will make them famous, too. Example: In 1966, a man who I will call RBS went into a beauty parlor, found five women and two children (girls) there, forced them all into a back room at gunpoint, made them lay on their stomachs, then shot them all in the head twice. Yes, even the children. Two miraculously didn't die. When he was arrested, he said, "I wanted to be known. I just wanted to get myself a name." He was disappointed because there were usually 40 women there at that time of day. When the police arrived, he "gleefully" confessed, anxious to begin his 15 minutes of fame. Asked later what he would have done if his mother and sister had been in the room, he said, "I would have shot them, too. I wanted to kill about 40 people so I could make a name for myself. I wanted people to know who I was." We all want a safer world. One of the simplest ways to make it safer would be to stop making murderers famous. After killing children, I want them erased, if not by the death penalty they so richly deserve, then by deleting their existence from society. Basically, the exact opposite of what we're doing in the name of "freedom of the press." The press is already required to not release the names of minors. Not releasing the names of mass murderers would not inhibit freedom of the press. They would still be able to report all the gory details to titillate their viewers and satisfy their sponsors. The only thing that would be omitted would be the name and image of the killer, which doesn't matter to the story, anyway. The blackout should go into effect the second any suspected serial killer or murderer is arrested so that they know they will not become famous, and in fact will lose their name and be issued a number for the rest of their lives (if convicted.) A black hood should be put over their heads to conceal their identities anytime they're in public. Do we really need to know their names or see their smirking faces, anyway? Every bit of notoriety they are given only encourages others to commit similar atrocities in the future, making our world more unstable. There are those who will say we need to make murderers' identities known so we can study them and prevent future atrocities. However, I would argue that they can be studied with a number for a name just as easily. Their personal information can also be given without revealing their identity. If we REALLY want these mass murders to stop, we must take drastic action. Business as usual is not working. Please sign this petition to make the world safer for yourself and everyone you love. We can do better. Of course, there will still be mass murders occasionally simply because there will always be disturbed human beings, but at least we will know that we are not contributing to these events by granting the dearest wish of most mass murderers - fame. Someone said "Evil flourishes when good people do nothing." Signing this petition is your chance to do something - potentially something very significant - to prevent another mass murder. Or we can just sit by and passively watch it happen again and again and again, while the murderers laugh at us from our TV screens, and the news channels line their pockets in the most socially irresponsible and morally reprehensible way possible - with the blood of children and other innocent people.

Mike Michaud has a track record of working across the aisle and years of respected public service in Augusta and Washington, D.C. His election would guarantee health coverage for 70,000 working poor Mainers. And perhaps most importantly, he's the candidate with the best chance of keeping Paul LePage from embarrassing Maine for another four years.

The closing of Page Hill on the Northumberland side has a direct impact on the economy in Lancaster AND Northumberland. Lets stand together and get this portion of road opened back up.
