Those of us who love the beauty of Taylors Falls, Minnesota, worry about the risk to our businesses, and our more than 300,000 annual visitors, if Superior Silica Sands is allowed to transport hundreds of trucks daily through Taylors Falls to North Branch. We want North Branch to say "no" to Superior Silica Sands, and we urge Superior Silica Sands to NOT route trucks through Taylors Falls.

The purpose of the petition is to emphasize the importance of fatherhood in the building of strong communities. The impact fathers make in the lives of their children cannot be emphasized enough! Statistics show that children raised in a father-absent home are: 1) Four Times More Likely to Live in Poverty 2) More Likely to Suffer Emotional and Behavioral Problems 3) Two Times Greater Risk of Infant Mortality 4) More Likely to go to Prison 5) More Likely to Commit Crime 6) Seven Times More Likely to Become Pregnant as a Teen 7) More Likely to Face Abuse and Neglect 8) More Likely to Abuse Drugs and Alcohol 9) Two Times More Likely to Suffer Obesity 10) Two Times More Likely to Drop Out of High School Therefore, the Men's Empowering Resource Center, Inc. (www.mercinc.org) and the people of North Carolina strongly urge you to stress the importance of fatherhood by declaring the month of June as Fatherhood Awareness Month!

My name is Josh Christmon and I am a Purple Heart recipient and U.S. Marine Corps combat veteran who served in Iraq. You can see my story here : www.stp-sf.org/bad-paper Vets like myself are coming home with PTSD and physical injuries and are in need of medical care and disability benefits. But the military’s practice of considering symptoms of PTSD and TBI to be misconduct, instead of symptoms of medical conditions that require treatment, are stripping vets of the benefits they have earned. In my case, when I returned home from Iraq, I smoked marijuana once as a way to escape my PTSD. Instead of getting medical treatment for my conditions, I was given an Other than Honorable discharge. This left me unemployed, without benefits, and without needed medical care for the injuries sustained during my time in Iraq.

TV viewers need a voice in what shows are broadcast. CBS has decided to renew shows of inferior quality and ratings instead of renewing an entertaining show.

Four other bipartisan committees have already investigated the Benghazi attack. One of those lines of inquiry — the Government Oversight Committee’s investigation — remains ongoing. Republican political opportunists have established the select committee only because of their interest in raising money and exciting the GOP base . Appointing members to the committee would lend credibility to such a nonserious political "circus."

"Protecting small farms in Michigan should be a top priority. Many farmers' markets are a consortium of small farms producing local produce. This is a vital part of local economies in many areas in Michigan and around the country. Michigan lawmakers should support the rights of individuals not just the interest of big business." George John Thompson

I think this would be a fitting honor for Pete Seeger who fought so long for what he believed was right.

I'M TIRED OF SEEING THE SAME DEATHS, TORTURE, AND MISTREATMENT OF ANIMALS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I'M TIRED OF SEEING THE SAME-OLD NOT MAKING IT TOUGH AND ROUGH ON KILLERS AND ABUSERS AND STOPPING -- NOT ADDRESSING OVER AND OVER AGAIN -- THE SAME ISSUES, BUT STOPPING THEM. WHEN ALL OF OUR STATES HERE IN THE USA SEE AND ADDRESS AND JOIN TOGETHER IN MAKING IT A BETTER WORLD FOR THE ABUSE AND DEATHS OF ANIMALS, THAT IS WHEN WE KNOW WE ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING. YEARS AND YEARS PASS. SLOW-- VERY SLOW ARE PEOPLE TO SEE, ADDRESS AND JUST STOP THIS MADNESS. THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE WAY TO LIVE. BUT NO ONE IS STOPPING THIS OR FINDING THIS ISSUE VERY IMPORTANT, OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED LONG AGO, AND ALL OF THE PEOPLE IN GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE LONG AGO STOPPED THIS ACCEPTANCE OF WHAT IS GOING ON. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE AND WAY, WAY TOO SLOWLY ARE STRIDES MADE FOR THE VOICELESS ANIMALS. THERE ARE PROGRAMS TO PLAN AND METHODS TO USE WITH ISSUES OF ANIMALS IN THE USA. I'M SICK OF BLM GETTING AWAY WITH UNLAWFUL TREATMENT AND KILLING OF HORSES. I'M SICK OF PEOPLE FINDING ANIMALS IN THE WAY. I'M SICK OF GAS CHAMBERS -- PUTTING THE DEAR LITTLE PUPPIES AND KITTIES INTO THEM AND SUFFOCATING THE DEAR GENTLE ANIMALS, WHICH IS A PAINFUL DEATH -- KILLING THEM IN SUCH A MEAN AND CRUEL MANNER. WHY IS THIS NOT DONE WITH? WHY IS THIS A WAY TO KILL AN ANIMAL WHO HAS NO HOME AND PUT IT TO DEATH? WHY IS THIS STILL ALLOWED? IT IS BARBARIC, A NO-BRAINER. JUST STOP IT! PUT THE PAPERWORK AND LAWS INTO EFFECT AND END IT -- END IT. BUT THIS IS NOT BEING DONE. ABUSERS, WHY IS THIS DONE OVER AND OVER AGAIN? BECAUSE IN MOST STATES THEY GET AWAY WITH IT. THEY GET AWAY WITH IT WITH LITTLE REPERCUSSION. THEY GET A SLAP ON THE WRIST OR A SMALL FINE. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. WHY IS WASHINGTON NOT DOING THEIR JOB, TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT ANIMALS? WHY ARE THE STATES NOT HERE -- ALL OF US -- WITH THE SAME THINKING AND PROTECTING OF THE ANIMALS? I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BEG TO DO THE RIGHT THING. ANYONE CAN SEE WHEN AWFUL THINGS ARE HAPPENING. IT IS TIME TO STOP ACCEPTING THIS -- ALL OF THE USA. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING THIS. GET OFF YOUR BUTTS, PEOPLE IN GOVERNMENT. JOIN TOGETHER AND, ALL OF THE STATES IN THE USA, THINK ALIKE AND RESPECT LIFE AND THE PROPER TREATMENT OF ANIMALS.
