  • Americans Say: "Create Alternatives To Ear-Piercing Backup Beeping".
    National Academy of Engineering cited Backup Beeping-Alarms as one of the six top noise sources people associated with behavioral and emotional consequences. This noise pollution chips away at our public health, interfering with our immune systems, learning, and sleep, boosting stress hormones, and contributing to cardiovascular maladies, even at levels too low to cause hearing damage.

  • No TAX $ to UPGRADE B61 Nukes
    I am of the generation who remember bomb drills in elementary school, when students innocently hid under their desks. Spending billions of tax dollars on Cold War era nuclear weapons in hopes of security is just as absurd, especially at a time when Congress is cutting the federal budget. Unless we change our course, nuclear weapons and their associated costs are projected to cost U.S. citizens $640 billion during the next 10 years. I'm dead tired of seeing my tax dollars, paid by the work I do everyday as a teacher, high-jacked for weapons that have the capacity to destroy - many times over - everything I love and value. NUKES ARE NUTS! Need more food for thought and action.The declassified video included with the first article is surreal reality check! http://swampland.time.com/2013/10/31/debating-nuclear-deterrence/ http://www.wand.org/2013/11/22/a-look-into-gold-plated-waste-our-briefing-on-the-hill/ http://blogs.fas.org/security/2013/09/b61-12holland/

  • Preserve the character of the Admiral neighborhood
    We believe the proposed development at 3210 California Ave SW (DPD project # 3014176) is of broad public significance. As neighbors and residents of the Admiral neighborhood of West Seattle, we ask the City to uphold the intent of the NC2-40 zoning classification by allowing no more than 4-stories to be built. • The proposed 5-story building is not legal. It is an additional story beyond the applicable height limit. (SMC 23.47A.012.A.1.a.2.) • The proposed average grade plane is set artificially high (at over 13-feet above street level) and does not meet the intent of the rule for calculating average grade, which is to encourage buildings to better follow the topography. (Director's Rule 4-2012.) We respectfully request a public meeting with DPD in order to understand why the proposed 5-story project is considered legal, and to voice our opinion that a 5-story building at this location will have a negative impact on the Admiral neighborhood, and the City. There is potential for this project to set a negative precedent for large, non-contextual development in the City of Seattle.

  • Permanently Disconnect google+ From Youtube
    google+ has been shoved down Youtube user's throats, and it has destroyed the comment interface, the message interface and the interface of how we interact with our own accounts! There has been almost no positive feedback posted online about the combining of google+ and Youtube, and we all want the two to separate!

  • Automatic Voter Registration in Florida
    I preregistered to vote when I was 17 in high school and have voted in practically every election since I was 18. I feel that the ability to vote is an integral part of being an active and properly informed citizen. Getting people active at an early age encourages them to be more involved in our society. We need to ensure that all eligible U.S. citizens in Florida are able to vote without any substantial obstacles in their way. Voting should be made easier, not harder! Without the right to vote, you don't have a voice in our society.

  • Repeal "Biggert-Waters” Flood Insurance Reform Act
    This petition has been created in an effort to repeal the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 (BW-12). The rate increases this act will create will cause thousands of foreclosures and completely destroy the real estate market. The negative impact this act will have on communities stretches far beyond what many in our government understand. We have already seen the home values in flood zones plummet to all time lows, and this will only get worse. We are asking that the act be repealed, or that rate increases be deferred until FEMA completes the affordability study mandated by law.

  • Remember Parkhouse
    MontCo sells Parkhouse and Open Space to a Developer Please join the opposition and protest a deal that has been characterized by unanswered questions, shady associations, scandal, lies, a willful disregard of the residents, insider information, and the belligerent arrogance of our County officials in the sale of Parkhouse (aka Montgomery County Geriatric Center or “Johnson Home”) and the surrounding 220 acres of open space in Upper Providence Township by Montgomery County. Montgomery County Commissioners closed the sale of Parkhouse and the 220 acres of land surrounding the facility that was previously slated to be permanently preserved in the county's own open space plan. The entire property was sold for $41 million in an unscheduled, unannounced, behind closed-doors recess in their Thursday morning meeting March 6, 2014. The new owner is a REIT that was formed in Delaware on January 14, 2014. We have no way of knowing who the actual principals of this REIT are and whether Dr. Menkowitz is still a part of it. The 70 acre Upper Schuylkill Valley Park was not ever part of the original deal but was sold along with the rest of the property then condemned and bought back for $2 million. How generous of them to protect a park that was already county-owned. The 5-year deed restriction only gives the public access to the property for the next 5 years or till the new owner develops it, whichever comes first. It gives the land no further protection from development than Upper Providence’s zoning ordinances already in place and will prove to be a costly battle to protect them The Request For Proposal had shown the Montgomery County Commissioners had been lying to the public about their intent to develop the land surrounding Parkhouse. The RFP states that the buyer, Mid-Atlantic Health Care, will be working with Einstein Health System, Ganas Development (led by Dr. Elliot Menkowitz a county-employed doctor at Parkhouse) and Sukonik Building Companies to develop a comprehensive development strategy. A subpoena had been issued and Dr. Menkowitz has been fired for ethics violations in his involvement with insider trading on the deal and suggesting he had special influence over the sale process Mid-Atlantic CEO Scott Rifkin's claim that they had changed their mind in regards to the development of the land is meaningless as they do not own it, GA HC REIT II Royersford SNF, LLC does and THEY will be the ones to develop it. This sale was brought about to fill a hole in Montgomery County’s budget caused by the failed Logan Square movie studio project. Montgomery County Commissioners are patting themselves on the back for creating the 2014 budget in surplus while blind-siding us on the sale of our precious open space and much needed home to the less-fortunate elderly. Montgomery County commissioners have now set a precedent to sell off any open space or park that has not been permanently preserved as open space. It is the responsibility of those in office to operate with transparency, obedience to those who they serve, and with the goal of doing good by all. The three Montgomery County Commissioners have violated all three of these very important principles, and will continue to do so if we stay silent on the Parkhouse issue. Rallys are being held to raise awareness to this issue. Check the Save Parkhouse Facebook group for the next rally: https://www.facebook.com/groups/242665885899065/ Full story and timeline here: saveparkhouse.blogspot.com PA State Representative Warren Kampf has joined the fight to save the open spaces at Parkhouse.
