• Presidential Perception
    The apparent lack of strong response and emotionally appropriate leadership style coming from the President in regard to the almost maniacal pursuit of those politicians who so desperately want to defame him and cause him as much trouble as possible.

  • DARK INTO LIGHT AT THE PLAYHOUSE SAN ANTONIO
    On Saturday, May 18th, a group of artists put on a musical called “Spring Awakening” at The Playhouse in San Antonio, Texas. “Spring Awakening” is a musical that deals with puberty, sexuality, rape, child abuse, incest, homosexuality, and suicide. It is a vital work at this moment in time, because the fact is that regardless of where we stand politically, spiritually, or morally - these issues are harming and killing our kids at an alarming rate. (SEE BULLET POINTS OF STATISTICS BELOW.) After the show, a talk-back session was held with Child Advocates of San Antonio (CASA), The Rape Crisis Center, 2 Anthropologists from UTSA, and the cast. A dialogue began and a spotlight was bravely shone on these issues. THE DARKNESS: Prior to the show, throughout the show, and after the show - a gentleman scurried around the theatre feverishly copying the adult content warning signs that were posted throughout the building. This gentleman has a prior history of, and has been instrumental in, defunding other arts organization because of content, and was acting as though he had every intention of filing a grievance with the city of San Antonio. During the talk back, this same gentleman got up and asked if “…the gay community’s suicide rate is due to the emptiness of their promiscuous lifestyle.” The audience was filled with students from the LGBTQ community who let out a collective sigh of sadness. YOUR LIGHT This petition is being set up by Theatre for Change (http://www.theatreforchange.org) as a preemptive strike and a forum of solidarity where we may print your stories and give them to our city representatives. Make no mistake, it will come to this and we will need as much support as possible. If you have seen the show and it has touched you – please share your story below! If you are an ally from afar and have been struck by the issues listed above – please share your story below. If you live in Texas and/or the surrounding areas, please consider seeing the show and then share your story below.

  • Bracket Racing
    Drag racing for high schools , collage and others. If you can get the kids to the track , then we can almost eliminate street racing and put them into a controlled area and turn the experience into positive learning . Or we can keep turning our eyes away and saying oh good got away with another race tonight , but that other kid isn't so lucky I think he is getting man slaughter when he hit the car at the intersection.

  • Governor Walker says it is un American for people to be denied freedom of speech . Because of dif...
    Then why did he say in phone call he thought about putting in trouble makers with protesters. He also states that the reason he did not is because it was not advantageous to him. I am glad but does this mean he is going to allow the signing at the Capitol. Or is he thinking about pulling his citizenship?

  • Return the Anna Louise Inn to the Struggling Women of Cincinnati
    The Western & Southern Insurance Group, a Fortune 500 company headed by CEO John Barrett, used a lawsuit and its unlimited money to force the sale of the Anna Louise Inn that has served thousands of struggling women in Cincinnati, in order to turn the historic building into a boutique hotel. Barrett has long referred to the women, who live and receive services from the home, as "recovering prostitutes, saying they didn't belong in the neighborhood."* Barrett also said about the sale, "This truly is a win for everyone and will make Lytle Park a destination like no other." The Anna Louise sits across the park from Western & Southern headquarters. *http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/struggling-women-sad-angry-over-sale-of-nonprofit-ohio-home-that-will-become-a-boutique-hotel/2013/05/18/feeb5b2e-bfce-11e2-b537-ab47f0325f7c_story.html

  • Street needs repair due to Gutter ponds in Arlington TX
    A puddle forms and stays and never evaporates due to the street not being built correctly. It will stay for months, days, weeks, years, due to builder/city not doing a correct job. We know the water that stays behind will cause West Nile virus.

  • Surgeons need to be held accountable for horrible outcomes.
    Aloha my name is Lance. I live on Oahu in Hawaii. I had a spinal fusion which has turned out to be a very destructive event in my life as the results have left me with constant pain, what's more is the local surgeon who did this to me could care less or refuses to admit he is responsible. I believe at this point his motives were likely monetary and I'm afraid for future patients of his. I feel if there was more accountability for these Doctors they would have to think twice before operating, specifically spine surgery with pain symptoms alone. Take better care of their patients post surgery and made aware of the damage they have caused long term. I have come into contact with three different people on separate occasions within miles of my home who have been opened up with horrible life altering results from this Doctor. If I can get 50 signature's Moveon.org will send this to 1000 people in my area and hopefully more people this Doctor has affected negatively will come forward. If this petition reaches 50 signatures please continue to sign, the more the better. I will reveal this Doctors identity when I'm sure it is in a way I can not be prosecuted. Thank you very much for your time. Ps: The intent of this letter is to hopefully put me in contact with others who have suffered by this Doctors hand, if it goes beyond that I will have someone check my grammar before delivery. Please contact me by email if you or someone you love had back surgery on Oahu, HI. Resulting in worsening symptoms. Thank you
