• Stop Donating to Salvation Army
    My petition is that my beliefs in donations should not be made in the public eye but in privet as the bible says in Matthew 6:1-4 “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

  • Universal Human Rights
    There are some problems the world looks to the United States to solve and while not everyone can agree on war and arms sales, we dont believe anyone can deny these 5 critical freedoms to all people everywhere. Whether someone is the head of state or spending a lifetime sentence in prison, these 5 essential rights should be provided to all those in need and strengthened and protected for the rest. Healthcare, Emergency Services, Water, Food, Shelter Heal Earth With Five Steps!

  • Extend Voting Hours in Virginia
    Due to the extensive traffic in Northern Virginia, many voters were unable to place their votes by the 7:00 pm deadline. Many of us unfortunately have commute times that can extend over 90 minutes and jobs rarely have the 9-5 hours that were once a staple in this country. After noting the deplorably low percentage of people attending the voting booths this November, I believe extending the voting hours from 7pm to 8pm will allow more people to vote and will increase public participation in the democratic process.

  • Free Speech on Cablevison TV
    We watch many news programs like the Rachel Maddow Show and others on MSNBC. We feel they do not cover as much information as is needed to keep the public informed and educated because of other less progressive programming elsewhere. More time slots are needed for people with busy lives to view these other progressive shows.

  • Munsey Park Planning Board - Say No to Subdivision of Section 3, Lot 116, Lot 4
    From the Munsey Park Website: Munsey Park was developed on land purchased by newspaper publisher Frank A. Munsey in 1922 and willed to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1925. From the beginning, homes were designed by architects to conform to a traditional 'American' style of home - custom built using the best materials and workmanship. To this day plans for alterations, additions or new construction are reviewed to insure proper design and individuality, while protecting each neighborhood from extreme designs not in architectural harmony with the rest of the community. Why it Matters: The current plan before the Board of Directors requests the subdivision of the approximate half acre corner lot on Bellows Lane and Manhasset Woods Road (currently unimproved land) into two approximate quarter acre parcels on which to build two spec houses. The block on which this parcel sits consists of lot sizes no less than approximately one-third of an acre (with corner lots typically larger). Subdivision of this lot will be a detriment to all residents as the construction of two houses on smaller lots will not be in architectural harmony with the surrounding homes. Two structures crammed onto this one lot will be an eyesore that can never be removed if approval is granted. Manhasset Woods Road is a thoroughfare which most Munsey Park residents travel to get to Northern Boulevard or Park Avenue. Please join us in opposing the subdivision to preserve look and feel of Munsey Park that we as a community have long fought to maintain. Thank you for your time, Concerned Munsey Parkers

  • SMCM Staff: Ms. Elsie
    Ms. Elsie was a delight to have on campus. This was more than a job for her, she took pride in her work and cared for the students in a way that few housekeepers on campus do. She greeted students and asked about their day, actually caring to listen to the answer. She always made sure students had the supplies they needed. We ask that her status at the college be reconsidered for reasons stated above. Furthermore, because she was fired “with cause” we worry about the effect on her future in terms of employment opportunities and/or unemployment compensation. Because she was such a great worker, and person, we care as students of St. Mary's College of Maryland about her well being the same way she cared for ours.

  • Limited Purpose Annexation
    Members of our community have moved to this areas to be away from the city and all the surcharges. This includes using the land for agricultural business or just leaving in a quiet area without all the hassle of the city. Some of the land owners have passed their land from generation to generation without the need of the city. The county provides all the resources required for the land owners and the need of the city is not required. Please allow us to have a vote in the limited purpose annexation.

  • Ask Sephora to change the offensive name of their lipstick color: Celebutard.
    As the mother of a special-needs child, I find this name highly offensive. I am disappointed that such a well-respected company would offer a product that has such an insensitive name. "The R Word", or any version thereof, is simply unacceptable.
