If you believe that a community should have a voice and be heard, and that city council members should make the effort to reach out to their constituents so they can be reflective of their community’s desire then sign this petition. Signing this petition does not declare your wishes for flying the flags or removing the flags. It just sends a message to our elected council members that we expect them to make an effort to adequately reflect what each of their wards desire. This is especially important when a volunteer committee has a split recommendation to council on a sensitive topic. Please also note the  committee was only 6 people and made no effort to reach out to the public either. Sadly one member skipped almost all the meetings and discussions but did show up to vote for removing the flags at the final meeting 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has overseen the Israeli military as it’s caused catastrophic suffering in Gaza, including needlessly killing tens of thousands of people. Right now, families are starving amidst a famine his government created. That’s not all: He’s also allegedly given quotes to journalists to undermine ceasefire talks and repeatedly ignored requests from the families of hostages to get their loved ones home safe. He’s vowed to continue it ALL. Yet, despite a growing list of potential war crimes, House Speaker Mike Johnson has drafted Netanyahu an invitation to address a joint session of Congress — and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is reportedly ready to sign on. Netanyahu does not deserve the honor of speaking on the congressional stage. Especially as powerful decision-makers, from the President to the House Foreign Affairs Committee, seem finally willing to use their influence to end the horrific violence in Israel, Palestine, and beyond. Inviting Netanyahu to speak at the U.S. Capitol would not only undermine our values — it could undo the ongoing efforts to secure a ceasefire. U.S. credibility — and hundreds of thousands of lives — are on the line. The decision is a no-brainer: Sen. Schumer must say ‘No.’ The good news? The chance that he does increases if he hears from thousands of people across the country now. For the sake of justice, peace, and basic human decency, will you add your name to our petition to Sen. Schumer and urge him to refuse Netanyahu this prestigious platform?

The NPS policy bans “participating in or attending any demonstration or public event wherein the wearing of the uniform could be construed as agency support for a particular issue, position, or political party.” It also appears like they are banning pins, buttons, and “ribbons” that are not in official capacity.  The email iterating the policy was sent less than a month before the start of Pride and was sparked because of requests from employees. Frank Lands, the Deputy Director of Operations at NPS, said that “approving participation in some events and not others could be seen as discrimination based on viewpoint.” NPS itself holds Pride events—so marching in local Pride parades is in line with their internal and external support for LGBTQ+ rights. Supporting and celebrating LGBTQ+ folks shouldn't be a controversial political position—the fact that it may be viewed that way is because of egregious assaults that make it all the more critical for institutions across the country to affirm their support and empower their employees. The identities of LGBTQ+ park rangers don’t change when they put on and take off their uniform, and they should be able to celebrate their identity publicly all year long.  Historically, LGBTQ+ people have experienced disproportionate surveillance and policing in public parks. And LGBTQ+ people continue to face specific barriers when trying to access public parks, including harassment and discrimination. Still, only 30% of park and recreation agencies have programming specifically tailored to LGBTQ+ communities. The NPS should focus on actively doing outreach to LGBTQ+ community members, not banning employees from self-expression or prohibiting their presence at their local Pride events.  LGBTQ+ people deserve to feel safe, welcome, and celebrated everywhere. Sign the petition to urge NPS to allow their park rangers to march in community and local Pride parades, and demand NPS commit to publicly supporting their LGBTQ+ employees and visitors.  PHOTO: METRO WEEKLY/Sean Burgandy, Todd Franson and Ward Morrison

It's very Important, because it's everyone's safety and makes the park look better, feel better and let's everyone enjoy the sport they love without the risk of an injury, or not being able to see, due to no lights and keeps us safer.  "Much needed love and attention"

This is the second autism related drowning that’s happened in JUST our community, and there was no alarm for either of them. That’s 2, too many, and that doesn’t even touch the numbers nationwide. We need to do better & be better prepared for future accidents! Proper alerts could've had people searching the proper area way faster! Not everyone got one, and most had to learn about it thru Facebook posts.  If phones shake when a child is abducted. Phone should shake when a special needs autism child should ever wander. They need their own category! 

Ms. Ziegler's conduct has been a continuous distraction from the business of the Board  — the education of our students, and the Board's stated commitment of "Every student every day."  At the May 7, 2024 School Board meeting she proposed a resolution defying constitutional officer responsibilities by refusing to uphold changes to Title IX. She claims she was protecting "our girls" while openly discriminating against certain students. This makes our students unsafe.  Ms. Ziegler has damaged countless students' lives and is an embarrassment to the Sarasota County School District.  She needs to resign or be removed. Join us in this effort. 

Signing this petition signals the absence of a legally recognized executor for the Steve Miller-James Miller Estate and highlights our collective responsibility in its stewardship. The role of executor is one of responsibility, not privilege, demanding the individual to manage estate finances faithfully for the benefit of all members. Without a current legal executor, this duty lies with each of us. Should any resident be prepared to undertake the legal and financial responsibilities to officially become the estate’s executor through probate court, they will have our full support and gratitude. This petition, therefore, is not just a call for change but an invitation to engage actively in the governance of our community, ensuring the protection of our interests and the restoration of transparency. Upon garnering enough signatures: - James “Carter” Miller must cease his activities as the self-appointed executor immediately. - He must relinquish all estate documentation, including financial records, accounting logs, and deeds, to Minister of Miller Church and Representative of the Steven Miller-James Miller Estate. - An independent audit will be commissioned to review all past financial transactions under his management. Supporting this petition means advocating for the return of control over estate assets to its rightful heirs and ensuring full transparency moving forward. Once James “Carter” Miller has turned over all necessary documentation, we will make all findings available to all recognized heirs promptly. This step is crucial in restoring integrity to the Steve Miller-James Miller Estate and honoring our grandfather’s legacy. By participating you commit to reestablishing responsible governance and transparency within the Steve Miller-James Miller Estate, ensuring its prosperity and the welfare of all its beneficiaries. This petition offers a pathway to resolve the current challenges faced by the Steve Miller-James Miller Estate, encouraging unity and active participation among all.

The dental office front desk is the hub of activity, the nerve center where patient care meets administrative expertise. It's where the first impressions are made, where anxious patients are put at ease, and where the entire experience is expertly choreographed. The front office personnel are the maestros of this intricate ballet, skillfully juggling multiple tasks, managing the flow of patients, and ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish. They are the guardians of the practice's reputation, the keepers of sensitive patient information, and the unsung heroes who keep the office running smoothly. Without their exceptional organizational skills, warm communication, and attention to detail, the dental office would be a chaotic and disjointed environment, unable to provide the high level of care that patients expect and deserve.  They are responsible for many things such as:  1. First Impressions Matter: The front office team is responsible for creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making patients feel at ease, and setting the tone for their entire experience. 2. Patient Communication: Front office personnel are the primary point of contact for patients, handling inquiries, concerns, and appointments. Effective communication is crucial for building trust and ensuring patient satisfaction. 3. Scheduling and Organization: The front office team manages schedules, coordinates appointments, and ensures a smooth flow of patients. This requires exceptional organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to multitask. 4. Financial Management: Front office personnel handle billing, insurance claims, and payment processing, requiring accuracy, attention to detail, and knowledge of dental billing procedures. 5. Data Management: The front office team is responsible for maintaining accurate patient records, updating databases, and ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. 6. Team Coordination: Front office personnel work closely with dentists, hygienists, and assistants to ensure seamless transitions between appointments and procedures. 7. Patient Retention: A friendly, efficient, and caring front office team helps build patient loyalty, encouraging repeat business and positive referrals. 8. Online Presence: Front office personnel often manage online reviews, social media, and patient engagement, influencing the dental office's online reputation. 9. Time Management: The front office team juggles multiple tasks, prioritizes urgent matters, and minimizes delays, ensuring a productive and efficient work environment. 10. Adaptability: Front office personnel must be flexible and able to adapt to changing situations, such as last-minute cancellations or unexpected emergencies. By recognizing the vital role front office personnel play, dental offices can invest in their training, support, and development, leading to improved patient satisfaction, increased efficiency, and a thriving practice. In conclusion, the front office personnel are the backbone of the dental office, and it's time we recognize their immense value. By empowering them with the training, resources, and appreciation they deserve, we can transform the patient experience, boost staff morale, and drive practice growth. Let's break free from the misconception that front office personnel are just "receptionists" and instead, acknowledge them as the highly skilled, patient-centric professionals they are. By doing so, we'll create a dental office where patients feel welcomed, valued, and cared for, and where staff are motivated, inspired, and proud to work. The future of dental care depends on it – let's give our front office personnel the recognition and support they deserve, and watch our practices thrive as a result!

Evidence revealed in 2022 shows that Ginni Thomas texted Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows—as well as legislators in Wisconsin and Arizona—urging them to overturn the election results. And she even attended the Stop the Steal rally on January 6.  The Trust Fund Board of the Library Congress manages over $200 million in donations for the library. We cannot trust an insurrectionist like Ginni Thomas to oversee and manage federal dollars.  Ginni Thomas was a part of a group of far-right activists who pushed Trump to get rid of members of his administration who were thought to be “disloyal” to him and suggested that those members be replaced with people they chose. Months later, Trump nominated Ginni to the Board of the Library of Congress. Justice Clarence Thomas has a clear conflict of interest, and despite that, he has refused to recuse himself from Trump’s Supreme Court cases that would have implications for his wife. The corruption knows no bounds. President Biden has removed many Trump appointees from their posts. The time is NOW to remove Ginni Thomas from the board of the Library of Congress. Will you add your name to the petition?

Three out of the four of Trump's criminal cases are postponed—indefinitely.  Trump-appointed judge Aileen Canon has been dragging her feet in Trump’s classified documents case in Florida, and she has failed to reschedule the trial that was originally to take place in May 2024. The right-wing-packed Supreme Court has the federal trial accusing Trump of trying to overturn the election results in 2020 tied up, refusing to rapidly review Trump’s bogus and corrupt appeal for "absolute immunity" of all crimes he committed while in office.  And finally, Trump's crusade to disqualify the prosecutor in his Georgia case, also related to overturning the 2020 election results, has indefinitely delayed the trial as the Georgia Court of Appeals debates whether to allow Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis to oversee the charges brought against Trump and 14 other co-conspirators.  For far too long, there have been different sets of justice in our legal system—one for the wealthy and powerful, and another for the rest of us. And this hypocrisy has burdened Indigenous, Black, Latinx, and Asian American communities disproportionately. And now, this double standard is on full display, as someone who should be held to the highest ethical and legal standards in our country manipulates our legal system to evade accountability and hide information from the public.  Trump’s crimes were crimes committed against our democracy and against the American people. We have a right to a speedy trial. Sign the petition to urge our legal and justice system to do its job and STOP THE DELAYS!
