This petition is meant to stop the onslaught of winter weather and to BRING on SPRING!!

In addition, Amanda Conner’s interpretation of Power Girl represents a demographic much needed in an industry that gets a bad rap as simply a “boys’ club”. Power Girl is in a class of her own as a female character with her own title and with a female artist having top billing. If you look at the Absolute Editions currently out (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Comics_Absolute_Edition), only three series have women as the title character: Danger Girl, Death, & Promethea. Not even Wonder Woman, one of DC’s “Big Three” superheroes, has an Absolute edition. How depressing is that? You can search for the “needles” of female creators in the “hay stack” of male dominated credits, but I already did that for you. Of all the Absolute Editions the highest billed female creator is Lynn Varley, who is the colorist for Absolute Dark Knight and Absolute Ronin. Another colorist, Laura Martin, comes in close second working on Absolute Planetary vol. 1& 2. With top billing usually going to the writer and artist, you will sadly find title page credits lacking female creators. Jill Thompson provided art for Neil Gaiman’s Sandman “The Parliament of Rooks” & “Brief Lives”, collected in Absolute Sandman vol. 2 & 3, yet her name is buried in a list with other artists. Absolute Death, another Neil Gaiman book, features art by Caitlin R. Kiernan, and much like Thompson, Kiernan is only listed as one of many artists. Rebecca Buchman, inker on a portion of Bruce Wayne: The Road Home is also barely visible in a list of creators in Absolute Batman & Robin: Batman Reborn.) In terms of female editors, there are none who hold top billing by themselves in your Absolute Editions: Kristy Quinn shares co-editing credit with Scott Dunbier in Absolute League of Extraordinary Gentlemen vol. 2, Karen Berger co-edited with Schott Nybakken on Absolute V for Vendetta, and Barbara Kesel shares an editing credit with Len Wein for Absolute Watchmen. The Absolute Editions are supposed to be the cream of the crop in terms of DC comics and they are sorely missing female title characters and creators. You would think by the current lineup that there are no female creators or characters that have a fanbase. An Absolute Edition of Amanda Conner’s Power Girl would send a message: that Amanda Conner is a top notch creator and artist, that there are female creators in the industry, and that leading publishers take them seriously and are interested in their talents and fandom. Power Girl can lead the way with introducing more readers to not only a strong female character, but a strong female artist and creator. But don’t do simply as an appeasement to female creators and fans. Do it because Power Girl is the cream of the DC comics crop and because many fans like me want an Absolute Edition Power Girl on coffee tables.

This petition is started to help secure a public indoor play area with a local location for parents or caregivers of young children. While Duvall has done an outstanding job securing public outdoor opportunities for young children to play, those options are extremely limited during bad weather-related months. Gross motor play has been determined to help children grow physically and cognitively and is a vital and important part of a child's development. In addition, Duvall's younger populations is growing by leaps and bounds. We thank you for your consideration., and please sign this petition if you would like to support our cause.

Genetically engineered foods are untested, unlabeled and potentially unsafe. Already, more than 60 countries around the world use labels to inform their citizens if their food has been genetically modified in a laboratory. It's time that we share that basic right. If the same companies can label foods containing GMOs in Russia, China and South Africa, surely they can label food here in Massachusetts as well. Tell your state legislators to support GMO labeling today!

Yelp harms millions of small businesses everyday because of a biased review system that unfairly filters out reviews without any reason. Apple's decision to use them for their Map service misleads customers and businesses are harmed because they can't ever improve their Yelp rating despite having legitimate reviews. I have personally been affected by this issue because my business has rated a 1 star on Yelp for several years with only 1 review. Despite the fact that we are 4/5 stars on sites like Google, Dex Knows, and Angie's List. Yelp constantly filters all incoming reviews both good and bad. As a result my business has suffered because Apple relies on Yelp for Apple Maps resulting in an unfair assessment of my business. By including both filtered and unfiltered reviews in the overall score would give a more fair rating and help thousands of other small business owners out there struggling to deal with unfair Yelp reviews.

I am starting this cause because I have to drive 20 minutes for taco bell! Well no longer my friends!

This latest stunt by Damon Feldman — a man notorious for organizing fixed, unlicensed celebrity boxing matches — will allow George Zimmerman to further victimize a dead young Black man for personal gain. True justice for Trayvon was denied by "Shoot First" laws and a broken court system. Feldman seeks nothing more than to line his pockets from a potentially rigged fight designed to stoke and exploit racial strife. Don’t be a part of this game of media manipulation.

I already pay a ridiculous amount for internet to a horrible company. I have been patiently waiting for a fiber based ISP in my home town so I can get better service at better prices. HB 60 will destroy all my hopes to pay a fair price for a good product.

House Bill 1507 is what ALEC and the Koch brothers call a “Paycheck Protection” bill. As stated by the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO, "The facts are clear, even though you won’t hear them in the commercials that the Koch brothers are financing. Automatic payroll deduction of dues is not mandated by any law, rather it is bargained for during contract negotiations. This deduction does not cost taxpayers money. Unions already agreed to reimburse the state for costs associated with deductions of PAC funds, but according to the [Commonwealth] of Pennsylvania, there is no measurable cost to be reimbursed." This bill does not address any real and substantive issue. Therefore, it is nothing more than political theater and a thinly veiled attack on Pennsylvania's workers.

La France a besoin d'un Obama de lui faire rappeler les devoirs de la France ,de la révolution française de 1789. Et puis, la France est une bonne élève de la maison blanche ,il suffit qu'Obama interpelle Hollande ,lors de cette visite et le président français ferait le nécessaire soit par décret soit d'inscrire cette question à l'ordre du jour à l'assemblée nationale française.

On Wednesday 2/5/14's airing of Arrow, a member of the League of Assassins utters the saying "La ilaha illa lah", Arabic for "there is no God but God", just before killing himself, so that the heroic lead character Oliver Queen and his love interest, Black Canary can get any information from him. This phrase represents one of the greatest oaths any Muslim, a believer of Islam, can make in being a Muslim, and is known as the declaration of faith. In a studio realm that seemingly has a lust for demonizing Islam, I ask that you sign this petition demanding that the creators of this DC Comics/CW Studios title issue a statement of apology for including this erroneous and insulting part of the Episode's script.
