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 !!!

I have been personally affected by this exposure, I have appealed my denial ever since filing my claim in 1977. My last denial in 2013 was a result of 22 years of appeals only to have Judge Kathy Bansfield call me and the buddies who signed my affadavits incompetent. It is recognized the DOD gave orders to use herbicides containing dioxin in the areas I was deployed in Okinawa, Japan, and on the DMZ in Guantánamo bay. My children and grand children born with birth defects like the children and grand children of my peers who reported the same birth defects as my children have been diagnosed with. It is time the federal government do the right thing and stop this discrimination My physicians at the V.A. hospital know that dioxin never leaves the blood system, and that if anyone was severely exposed, they told me it was I.

In the past 2 years, we have been given additional duties/tasks resulting from the closure of positions, creation of management positions, and the updating of systems. We are protesting these actions, as well as, the duplication of work caused by these additional duties. We are asking for the following: 1. AESOP Reconciliation be eliminated from our duties until it is determined that AESOP will result in payroll completion (currently we are duplicating our efforts with this system). 2. The Substitute Recap/Absence Log should be eliminated from our duties (This is another duplication of the above and payroll). 3. We were recently given the duty of completing the mileage for all staff at our sites. This as well, should be eliminated from our duties. Each person should complete their own mileage in PeopleSoft (it was designed to operate this way). 4. We would like to be represented on the committees/teams that decide the systems and/or tasks that pertain to our duties/desks and workload. Thank you in advance for your action to this urgent matter!

The Navy is about to cause harm to our whales unnecessarily. Although other petitions against Navy sonar already exist, this petition is directed toward California's Senators and Congress by their own constituency, making it more likely they will respond.

Communities LIBERTY SQUARE, 1933-1987: THE ORIGINS AND EVOLUTION OF A PUBLIC HOUSING PROJECT by Paul S. George and Thomas K. Peterson Tequesta, number XLVIII (1988) History of Liberty Square, built in the 1930s for Miami's low-income African-Americans, and of the changing demographics of people living there. Florida's first housing project, built by the federal Public Works Administration (PWA).I. REACHING FOR UTOPIA: 1933-1936 This project will be one of the greatest blessings that Miami ever had. It will not only eliminate the possibility of fatal epidemics here, but also fix it so we can get a servant freed from disease. John Gramling, October 17, 1934 The First Administration of Franklin Roosevelt was barely nine months old when in December 1933, Miami attorney John Gramling, along with six other lawyers and businessmen, formed the Southern Housing Corporation for the purpose of developing a "negro colony" on one hundred and twenty acres of land on Miami's northern outskirts. Their inspiration was the recently-created United States Reconstruction Finance Corporation, which provided low-interest loans for slum

Congress needs to act immediately, or I, along with many countless others, will be forced into foreclosure or never be able to sell our homes! Not only that, but once every town near water loses so much of its tax base, schools and hospitals across the country will lose their funding as well. This act must be repealed because it will destroy our country from the inside out. Here is the act that we must act against. http://www.fema.gov/flood-insurance-reform-act-2012 Here is a link to show you where your house sits on the new flood map if you live in Lycoming County. http://lycomap.lyco.org/cslf/
