My family has been strongly affected by this. Credit score is so low and we can't get an equity loan to fix our roof. We are tired of the big corporations getting the whole pie!

The Seaway Hotel is historic in Duluth. We want the name to stay the same.

I have severe allergies to many things and since manufacturers of alcoholic beverages aren't required by law to list the ingredients of the contents people like me suffer and can get very sick from unknown ingredients.

The African Outlet is asking for a show of support from our cherished customer, aficionados, neighbors, interested passer-bys and community minded individuals. Our rent has been increased prohibitively, with references from the realtor and landlord to further annual increases. Over 25 years of our doing business and service, 20 of which has been at this address, many stores in the Bay Area representing African Culture have come and gone. The African Outlet remains a proud vessel of authentic, varied and unique items and ambiance from the continent of Africa. We provide services to schools, community groups and participate annually in cultural events. Our fine reputation is wide throughout the Bay Area and internationally. It is with pride that we remain at this address, testimony to the cultural diversity for which this city is known. It is with passion that we need to stay at this address in close proximity to the communities to which we have a responsibility to continue serving. More information and announcements please reference www.facebook.com/SaveTheAfricanOutlet You are most welcome to weigh in and keep track of our journey there. Everyone is always welcome at The African Outlet! TheAfricanOutlet.org

Pete Doherty has not been allowed in the United States for a really long time. In fact he was denied entry into the United States in June 2010, after spending 10 hours in detention in JFK Airport, despite having a visa.

People should be concerned about this issue because haters are gonna hate. We must combat the haters. In the words of Mary J. Blige, we do NOT need any further hateration or holleration in this dancery.

Any use of violence by a teacher or staff member is inexcusable. Ms. Weiss threw a shoe at a student and is being permitted to continue teaching our children. Our children's safety and security should be our top priority and Ms. Weiss should be terminated.

After my Yahoo email account was hacked for the second time last year, I deactivated my account. Imagine my surprise when I recently learned that contacts of mine are still receiving spam from my defunct account. As a therapist it is problematic that an email coming from my identity with the subject “How are you?” could potentially harm the computer of a friend, colleague or even client. When I contacted Yahoo tech support, they told me they would require a fee of $49.99 to delete the account. Their explanation was that a hacker from Canada was able to reactivate the account after I deactivated it online, but before Yahoo deleted it from their server. I could not access the account, nor could I stop the spam without paying this ransom. The consequences for me are serious, but could have been even worse. From cyber-bullying to official persecution, the way we manage our online identities can have real-world repercussions, and each of us must have the freedom to make our own choices online. Privacy and control of our online identities are concerns shared by most internet users. Please sign the petition to Yahoo to cease its extortionist practices, and share this story so all internet users are aware that creating an email account with this company means you may need to pay to close the account.

Let the carriage horses be! As a professional animal trainer and manager, I know that my animals love the work we do together, and they love their fans and the carriage horses do too! Both carriage and police horses are beloved and cared for and are an important part of New York - AND SHOULD REMAIN SO. Don't sell out the stables for commercial development. Instead, give them turnout privileges in Sheep's Meadow, Central Park and one day of rest a week to enjoy it!

The fans of Mimi G. Style want to come together and create a sewing tutorial television show for her, because her sewing talent is too great be in such a small market place.

Dog cruelty is not fair. I think dogs should have as much respect as mankind.

We’re launching a campaign to show grocery chains, like Roundy's Corporation, that their customers want GMO labeling, and persuade them to follow the lead of other grocery stores like Whole Foods. We have a right to know what’s in the food we buy, so we can make healthy, responsible, and informed choices about what we’re eating. Sign this petition to Roundy's CEO Bob Mariano and ask him as a customer to label GMOs in store-brand products.
