Potrero is our neighborhood and the removal of 53 spaces will seriously impact 53 households, hundreds of residents who will not be able to park near home.

December 2013 marked the 40th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act, one of the world's strongest and most effective wildlife protection laws. Unfortunately, just at this time when we celebrate four decades of success with the ESA, a bill that could rightly be called the “Extinction Act” has been introduced by anti-environment lawmakers in the House and Senate (H.R. 3533 / S. 1731). This bill would gut the ESA and put imperiled species at greater risk. This bill would harm imperiled species by: - Automatically removing them from the lists of endangered and threatened species after five years, whether or not they've recovered. - Letting politics win over science by requiring that state governors give their consent before species in their states can be listed under the ESA, and requiring a joint resolution of Congress to approve the listing of species as threatened or endangered. - Undermining citizens' ability to enforce the ESA in court and to help protect imperiled species by filing citizen listing petitions.

The difficulty and time it takes to be paid for services rendered is UNACCEPTABLE and needs IMMEDIATE RESOLUTION! Early Steps Providers owed THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS are unable to pay mortgages and other bills, buy Christmas presents, carry full work caseloads, pay taxes, etc as a result of these issues. These are billing issues the Providers have not caused, and should therefore not be penalized to resolve them by spending countless UNPAID hours begging Med3000 for our money!

My ears.

I have hit a wall of unfair financial calculations that has literally bankrupted me and has also kept me from receiving any aid that would be afforded to someone who earns what I do after Child support is deducted. For most Fathers or non custodial parents, the child support payments are automatically deducted from our paychecks and sent onto the MN Child Support Collection Agency. I am a contractor and working for a company. My Child support (56%) is taken out, leaving me a monthly paycheck of $1580. This does not have taxes taken out. After my home payment (which is on a home savers loan at 2% interest) and $175 to the bankruptcy trustee, I have $10 to purchase: gas, groceries, electric, trash pickup, heat, car insurance …etc. This does not include the taxes I have not been able to pay all year. I am not writing about the unfair family law rulings that disregard a fathers right to exist. The financial calculations I am referencing is the ones used for “in forma pauperis”, obtaining legal aid, Minnesota Energy Assistance Program. These guidelines put a single Father at a 3 month total gross income of $5,673 or below to receive assistance. This does not allow for the funds the Father does not even see in his paycheck. If I was a single person without children making $1580 per month, I would qualify. The child support is taken out before anything else. Before it is even mailed to the employees. I am not even talking taxes which would be the same for Fathers and single men. Fathers are penalized and support that would be afforded to the custodial mothers since the child support is not included in their income and placing them at a much lower rate, is denied the non-custodial parent. I owe over 2 months electric, all of this year’s taxes, now braces for 2 of my children. I need help and fairness. Fathers are forced into a continual spiral of worse case scenarios. I have to represent myself in court and am a legal punching bag. Bias in family law is very real, representing yourself means you shouldn’t even show up. The order will read whatever the opposing council writes down. My child support should show that. My ex makes as much as I do before the $1650 in child support she receives. ( tax free). For roughly $4700 per month. Deductions at the end of the year, only part of that is taxed. But yet, with the children she qualified for free legal aid, in forma paupris…etc I am told, I make too much money with a monthly paycheck that reaches me of $1580 before taxes on $3200 per month. Simply, Child Support should be deducted from a Father’s income if it is automatically deducted. Even if it is not automatically deducted, the amount would still be owed and collected. Please help the Fathers get a fair chance to have representation, pay their electric bills and ultimately have a life with their children. Thank you

Not only am I a regular facebook user, I am also a page administrator. I run several pages and since facebook has decided that memes, joke, and pictures of your favorite animals are "low quality" content mine and everyone else's pages have been strangled on their reach. Facebook wants me, and all page owners, to PAY for the fans that have ALREADY LIKED our pages to see our posts. It's not chunk change either. They want us to pay 30-400 dollars a DAY so a few thousand people see ONE post. How often have you read a meme or a joke or saw an adorable kitten picture on facebook and it has brightened your day? If you don't want that to disappear forever then you need to SPEAK UP NOW and tell facebook that you WON'T be pushed around!

This petition has been created to help others suffering from medical conditions when current medications do not work and the use of the cannabis plant may provide relief. As the creator of this petition, I personally have experienced multiple times when traditional prescription medications fail to provide relief from my ailments (anxiety, insomnia, ADHD). Working in nursing has shown areas where traditional Medecine lacks or it's side effects outweigh the benefits, and with your help we can bring forward an all natural SAFE alternative to pharmaceutical prescription medications.

I am a mother of a preteen girl and we have to protect our children. Continued support of R.Kelly is suggesting that his actions and behavior are acceptable and we DO NOT accept it. It is deplorable and his victims would agree. We need to stand up for what's right and stop glorifying a known pedophile.

I have been a supporter and advocate for animal rights for years but we have to stop the DEMAND before we can stop the SUPPLY.

I write as the President of the United Cardinal Liberty Union and all members of the Cardinalis genus who have been degraded by the stereotyping that occurs all too often in today's society. Not all cardinals are red and yet schools like Bellaire High School who have a red cardinal as a mascot promote a stereotype that is not true! As an avid supporter for the rights of Cardinalis Sinuatus, more commonly known as the Desert Cardinal or Pyrrhuloxia, I find it extremely saddening that schools such as Bellaire High School are allowed to have such a derogatory mascot that stereotypes my most beloved friends. Please stop the bird racism Superintendent Grier before it is too late. The mascot that Bellaire High School uses is in fact not a cardinal, for cardinal or Cardinalis is a Genus of the family Cardinalidae, rather the mascot is a male northern cardinal. The use of the male northern cardinal to represent the entire Cardinalis genus has led many to the assumption that all cardinals have red feathers, while the reality is quite the opposite. I dream of a school district where cardinals are not judged based on the color of their feathers, but on the content of their character. The mascot of Bellaire High School is in direct opposition to equality among all the members of the Cardinalis genus, be their feathers red, brown, or otherwise. The mascot of Bellaire High School is currently the only representation Cardinals have within the city of Houston, and being portrayed a stereotypically red denies other cardinals of equally valid feather colors representation and makes them feel as though they are lesser for not conforming to a certain feather type. By using the Red Northern cardinal to represent the Cardinal genus as a whole makes it impossible for outsiders to the Cardinal community to look past the aesthetic differences in the Cardinal population, leading to the judgement of cardinals based on whether or not their feathers are red. My request to you is to include the derogatory cardinal mascot in your list of mascot names that need to be changed. If schools such as Bellaire change their name to the Northern Male Cardinals I will find no offense to this name as it specifically states which cardinal is being represented and allows for the community to realize that not all cardinals have red skin or feathers. While I represent a small minority of people who take offense to this, seeing as the Native American population is also a small minority of the American population I, along with the rest of the Desert Cardinal community, would be extremely offended if you do not include the cardinal mascot on your list of mascot names to change.

There are several screen shots proving that our claim of cheating is valid.. Kabam has confirmed this in their forums and by banning a handful of players.. We are asking that all players be compensated with mithril so that every player can choose how and when to use it. We also want to know Kabam's official stance on the situation and why it's been allowed to continue. The entire alliance should be banned and disbanded..we also ask Kabam to adopt better policies regarding the integrity of the game.

Not only have I watched my only child & son who currently sits in prison from this devil drug suffer but I too have suffered due to ugliness of this devil drug along with many others whom have lost their children from this devil drug...It effects the whole family sadly as with many drug addictions !!!
