As a father of two children, one entering his school years I have a concern about how the youth in our country encounter extreme violence in film and video games. There are many examples where killing is made to look cartoonishly fun. I realize that a more responsible approach in these mediums will not end gun violence, but that doesn't mean we as individuals shouldn't strive to minimize the bad influences on our impressionable youth.

Torfaen Borough Council have done it again.....now in their infinite wisdom they've decided to do away with Lollipop Ladies/Gents as part of their cost cutting measures. I wonder if they'll sleep OK when the first child is knocked down!! Shelia along with all her other colleagues across Torfaen go above and beyond to make sure our children get to school safely. Whatever the weather they stand there day in and day out and their number one concern is getting our children to school safely. What will happen once they are all gone?

For more than six decades the Azores has hosted a U.S. military presence at Lajes Air Force Base, which has bolstered the U.S. and its allies’ control of the Atlantic. Lajes is a valuable military asset that enables for the rapid deployment of warfighters, aircraft, ships and global communications for AFRICOM and CENTCOM’s joint, coalition, and NATO operations. In addition to being a globally strategic military asset, Lajes plays a pivotal role in U.S.–Portugal bilateral relations. Additionally, the base plays an important economic role in the Azorean economy. It is estimated that the proposed reduction of force at Lajes would result in a 40% increase in unemployment on the Island of Terceira and lead to 1.5% reduction in GDP for the Azores as a whole.

Without notice other then the email saying we just closed your store, I was shocked to find that ETSY had closed my shop due to having some products that matched Pottery Barn Kids Quilts, and for using Pottery Barn Kids in my search terms (which I've done since 2008) I obviously was unaware that this was an issue until my store was closed. I wasn't give the opportunity to correct this and most definitely would have, had it been brought to my attention earlier. This is my families main source of income and I've worked hard to maintain my 100% customer rating and built a large customer base over the years. Please reopen Funky Letter Boutique.

Our board is for us, not the janitors.

We are destroying the spirit of America at a rigorous and barbarous pace. The wild mustangs are protected under the Wild and Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971, and yet this is being illegally overridden right before our eyes. The roundups must be stopped, for these horses are being inhumanely treated in BLM holding corrals when they should be roaming their homelands, free.

This petition is about serving the people and the community,making the community a safe place for young and old.
