My petition is about the Cleveland Public Power electric company and how they do not help people that live in lower income residence by putting them on payment plans according to their income (if any) or the fact that they do not work with the H.E.A.P. program. The company makes their own payment plans and expect for the residents to pay the cost, whatever it is and without taking into consideration that they may not be able to afford the amount they have been given. For example, someone has an income of $124 a month and their payment plan was $102! So, that meant they had to live off of what was left-how ridiculous is that?

A Tibetian singer named Lo Lo, is being imprisoned for six years in the Amdo region of Tibet, for writing love songs for his country. He has probably been sentenced to hard labor. He is 30 years old.

I would like to fight against drug usage and abuse. Students in this generation are now addicted to drug usage that, it affects their own health and their ability to continue their education. I want to make a change by explaining to children and young adults why it's not right to use drugs on themselves.

If you've ever challenged the fairness of a Los Angeles parking ticket, you know you're in for a long bureaucratic nightmare. First you send them the reason your ticket is unfair. No matter how legitimate your reason, it is seldom if ever accepted. Instead, they order you to pre-pay. This scam is simply a veiled tax on motorists. Most cannot reasonably take all the steps necessary to fight a ticket through the Parking Violations Board and into Court.

I received the new survey that demanded that I answer all the questions to 28 pages of intrusive,personal,and inappropriae questions from the U.S Census Bureau,The detailed questions concerned matters that are far beyond the governments business, including mental, emotional,and physical health, intimate personal habits, inside and outside of ones dwelling,income assesses,family status,social benefits' and the list goes on and on., ,

I interact with children & adults daily that think the images, messages and morals portrayed in urban music are viable life choices.

We can't be the only ones affected by the volume of TV commercials And inappropriate commercials in early evenings when kids are around.

Earlier this year activists videotaped instances of terrible animal cruelty at a Pennsylvania farm. Instead of holding wrongdoers accountable, some legislators have reacted with a bill to outlaw filming at farms. If laws are being broken and whistle-blowers are uncovering that fact, criminalizing them isn't the answer. HB 683, introduced by Representative Haluska and supported by Senator Brubaker would criminalize taking pictures or videos of animal abuse or food safety issues in order to expose illegal and unethical activity. In addition to shielding the agriculture industry from unwanted scrutiny and accountability, the bill also has the potential to shield fracking companies from oversight when drilling on farmland. Pennsylvanians deserve the right to know where their food comes from and what dangerous chemicals might be nearby. Help us tell Pennsylvania’s Legislators that we won’t stand for Ag-Gag legislation in our state!

Multifamily dwellings, such as condos, and high risks of residents smoking indoors causes seepage through the walls recent years, there has been concern that non-smokers may also be at risk for some of these health effects as a result of their exposure ("passive smoking") to the smoke exhaled by smokers and smoke given off by the burning end of cigarettes, exposure increases the risk of lower respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia in children, chronic air infections and more frequent asthma complications. My grandson can't even come to my home to visit without getting sick from the smell of cigarettes that seeps into my condo, in the hallway and outdoors on my patio.

Recently Jeremiah Moss posted a petition to move a Citibike station farther away from Frank's Bike Shop. We are fans of both Jeremiah's excellent blog and Frank's excellent shop, but believe Jeremiah's petition is based on incorrect assumptions about Citibike's and Frank's business models, and will ultimately do nothing to help Frank, because: 1. Frank sells, services and rents bikes and accessories. Those of us who rent from him (including the authors of this petition) do so for a full day (or longer) excursion--to ride with family, or visit Governor's Island, or take a leisurely ride around the city. Frank provides locks, child seats and other accessories that Citibike does not and cannot provide and charges far less than Citibike if you want to keep the bike for the whole day. 2. Citibike provides bikes for point-to-point rides of 30-45 minutes or less from one Citibike station to another. It is intended to replace or supplement walking, mass transit and taxis as a way to get around Midtown and downtown Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn. You can ride a Citibike to work, the store or the movies and not worry about it getting stolen. You can take a different mode of transportation home. But you can't take a Citibike to Governor's Island without racking up massive charges, you can't take a child on a Citibike, and you really shouldn't leave a Citibike anywhere other than a Citibike docking station as the cost to replace a lost or stolen Citibike is exorbitant. 3. Very few people headed to Frank's shop will change their minds about buying, servicing or renting a bike simply because they see a Citibike station nearby. And for the handful of people who might change their minds, moving this particular station away from his shop will not prevent them from encountering a Citibike station, as there are Citibike stations everywhere (including at least one between Frank's shop and each of the nearest subway stops). 4. Frank has the opportunity to capitalize on the nearby Citibike station by expanding his accessory offerings. We hope he will sell more helmets, lights and biking-appropriate bags and clothing as a result. 5. Citibike has the potential to significantly increase the normalcy and safety of biking as a means of transportation in New York City, expanding the pool of people who want to buy their own bikes and who need to get them serviced.
