This petition is directed at the administration in Hutto Independent School District. It is in regards to the retaliatory tactics being used to wrongfully accuse a family of participating in a child's truancy. These are false accusations based on the fact that the child was in attendance for the days in question. Brandy Baker assured this family upon their request that the child would not participate in STAAR testing, or any STAAR related materials. Only to enroll him in "tutorials" directly related to STAAR testing. The child in question was also led to believe by the administration at Hutto High School, that he did not have to attend. However he was counted absent 14 times continuously, and was marked as absent for 14 full days. While his attendance records show he was in all of his other classes for that day. The absent count at the bottom of the sheet clearly states "days unexcused". In addition, after this family officially removed the children from school, the administration including but not limited to Roy Christian, at Farley Middle School continues to count that child as absent as well. These are obvious retaliatory measures being conducted by Hutto ISD in general. Please stop the manipulation of these records and the false accusation of families involved. And we also ask that the Judge in the Truancy Court take this issue into consideration. This is unbelievable behavior from our children's educators and has forced parents to remove their children from school permanently, opting for home schooling. Your honor we would like these manipulations investigated, and all parties involved to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Falsifying a state document in the State of Texas is a Third Degree Felony, and we expect nothing less than prosecution for these charges. We also request that the families presented before you, with obvious records manipulations, be relieved of all charges and penalties as they stand falsely accused due to the records manipulation.

Far too many have been caught up in the all encompassing snare of collateral consequences of criminal conviction. After being incarcerated and denied physical freedom, and after paying restitution and/or fines, the debt to society is paid. It is cruel and unusual punishment to make a 2nd degree or lower non violent offender suffer collateral consequences for life, and be kept from honest work or volunteering.

A portion of the land adjacent to and north of the Rancho San Marcos subdivision on the east side of Highway 14 has a proposed zoning area as "mixed use" in the county's Sustainable Land Development Code which will go before the voters for adoption this year. This area was previously zoned Rural Residential. Mixed use includes residential and commercial structures and can include high-density residential structures that are about 3 levels high. Having mixed use abut our neighborhood will significantly change the character of our neighborhood in a number of ways including traffic on 14, light pollution, and noise pollution, to mention a few. This zoning change has the potential to significantly impact property values and quality of life in our neighborhood, especially for those on the north side. It is felt that maintaining the area zoning as Rural Residential would preserve the present nature of the area while still allowing for development by its owners.

The Tri-Cities area does not have a good variety of multi-use health clubs to choose from. We believe that Life Time Fitness would compliment the lifestyle in the area. Currently, residents must travel to Bloomingdale or Warrenville to belong to a Life Time Fitness health club. A Life Time Fitness in our area would receive strong neighborhood support! By signing this petition, I am in support of Life Time Fitness opening a health club in the Tri-Cities area. Thanks for taking the time to read this letter and our petition. St Charles, Geneva & Batavia IL have often been ranked as "Best Town to Live In" and "Best Town to Raise a Family" by Family Circle and CNN.

As actors who plan on participating in the Fall 2014 show, we feel that this is not an adequate amount of time to prepare a production and will place undue stress on all involved.

I am 11 years old and I love baseball. An indoor baseball facility would contribute greatly to the quality of baseball teams in Salt Lake City. To be a good baseball player, and to build good baseball leagues, players have to be able to practice year round. I am starting this petition with hope that someday Salt Lake City will have an indoor baseball facility for the general public.

As stated before, we have been affected because one of our troop members' family has been through a tragic accident on this street as well as one of our other troop members. We would like to place a stop light at Woodlake and Burbank.

We want what Obama promised us (To Label Genetically Modified Organisms), and what others around the world have. Progression, not regression, of human knowledge and health! Healthy Food is a Human Right. Follow the link. 1 minute proof! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqaaB6NE1TI

I did a research paper on the links between animal abuse and human abuse and found through my research that animal abuse will almost always lead to human abuse. Many domestic violence, rape, homicide, and other human abuse cases first started with animal abuse. Many interviews of said criminals said they confessed to starting with animal abuse before starting human abuse. If we as a country are allowing these abuses outlined in this petition to happen in our own communities on a daily basis, what does that say about us? I also just have a great love for animals and don't understand the extent to which we, as a country, have let these problems get so out of hand. Please Don't Shop, Adopt!

I believe true health starts with nutrition.

We have been providing for the Cat Colonies along the waterfront piers since the 1980's. Because of Redevelopment along the waterfront piers, the cats have to be re-located. We are petitioning for Pier 70, be left for the cats and consolidate the cats from nearby piers, that are losing their home

I love Ben and Jerrys but, I don't like carrageenan. So please make an ice cream flavor without carrageenan. Carrageenan is a product derived from certain types of red algae, a seaweed. It is still an ongoing debate on whether or not it is harmful. It is thought that carrageenan is a cause of a range of cancers (especially gastrointestinal ones) and other illnesses like Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Even if it is safe there should still be a choice for those who refuse to eat it. So who better to take on that challenge than Ben and Jerry's?
