I have attended Virginia State University and have heard many complaints about there not being enough food choices to choose from on campus. There are campuses that are about the same size as VSU''s that have more of a variety of food choices than we do as well as more healthier ones. The students' health at VSU should be one of VSU's top priorities and the Foodmaster should be built.

Leo is NOT A CRIMINAL but ICE wants to deport him. Leandro Jose Frageri Carlos (A# 098-714-990) has lived in the United States and New Jersey for over 8 years. His fiance and their US citizen daughters would be devastated if he left. His family and community wants to keep him here!

To Whom It May Concern, I was the immediate supervisor for SPC Annzala Pitt at C.Co 225 BSB. In the time that SPC Pitt was part of my squad she encountered numerous difficulties which I believe were entirely due to being mistreated by her senior leadership. When SPC Pitt arrived at 225 BSB she had a medical situation that required attention prior to her deployment to Iraq. When she voiced her concerns to 1LT Riglick not only were her concerns dismissed but her private health information was erroneously released to multiple parties. SPC Pitt filed a complaint for the HIPPA violation against the offending party, 1LT Riglick. A few months later 1LT Riglick was assigned to C.Co as our Platoon Leader. This is undoubtedly the situation that caused SPC Pitt to be labeled as a problem soldier by C.Co leadership. SPC Pitt was not protected from reprisal and was treated badly for the duration of her time with C.Co 225 BSB. The result of filing her HIPPA complaint against 1LT Riglick was having a stigma placed on her by the very leadership that was supposed to be protecting her. She endured rumors, attacks on her character, and even attempts at discrediting her intellectual capacities. She was even accused of having inappropriate relationships with multiple senior Non-Commissioned Officers by our Platoon Leader 1LT Riglick. SPC Pitt continuously sought only to do her job as a mental health specialist and as her first line supervisor I pushed for her to be moved from the company to the Troop Medical Clinic. When SPC Pitt was sent to the Troop Medical Clinic to preform her duties as a mental health specialist C.Co leadership made sure to let the incoming social worker know what their impression of her was. SPC Pitt then worked with Major Ball, who had already been told she was a problem soldier, and was subsequently treated horribly to include having to undergo a mental health evaluation without provocation. SPC Pitt requested on numerous occasions to be moved from C.Co 225 BSB to another company, battalion, or division to get out from underneath the stigma placed on her. These requests were heard by our Company Commander, 1SG, Platoon Leader, Platoon Sergeant, Command Sergeant Major, and even Division Command team but nothing was done. Instead of helping the soldier 1LT Riglick and Major Ball ordered me to counsel her for their perceived insubordination. When I disagreed with these orders it was made clear that my military career was also in jeopardy. I was ordered by 1LT Riglick to counsel SPC Pitt for not properly using her chain of command to which, I informed the command that she had done exactly what procedures are outlined. The result of my not counseling her for this was to have my MEDPROS status changed to non-deployable by 1LT Riglick. This retaliation against me for defending SPC Pitt would have ended my career if I had not already been found deployable and fit for duty by the Medical Review Board in 2008. Despite her outburst which finally concluded her time in C.Co I would still recommend that she be retained by the United States Army. SPC Pitt endured being mistreated for months and still maintained a positive attitude. Her intellectual prowess combined with her willingness to work make her a viable asset. I believe that if SPC Pitt had been able to move to another command away from the toxic leadership of C.Co 225 BSB her military career would have flourished. SGT David Trapolsi

The Post Office must be saved. No money comes from the govt. to run this agency and the fact that they are paying for benefits for people not even born yet is ridiculous. Reverse this law and save our Post Office.

I own a niteclub, my business and the business of every bar owner in Ohio has been affected by the ban. The ban is fine for restaurants, especially where there are small children, BUT smoking is an adult decision, there are no children in bars only adults. 90% of people who drink in bars smoke. It should be up to the bar owners whether or not to permit smoking in/on their property and not dictated by local government, this is SUPPOSED to be a free country

My petition is about a mentally challenged person that had got hurt on a job at California University as a semi skilled laborer cutting grass while it was raining, the kabuta cut off, slid down the hill and he smacked into a tree in May of 2009. He has been discriminated against, wrongfully fired and his reputation was slandered in the process. and I have been affected by this also because I was suppose to go back to work at the University as a part time custodial work with the opportunity of getting full time employment in 6 months but the University retaliated against me for helping Mr. Durant. I am a single parent trying to raise my son, which is getting ready to graduate and go to college and a fifteen year old daughter. We had to move this man in our home to take care of him because he didn't have anyone to help him. We filed with the EEOC and the PHRC, and we have a 90 day right to sue letter at the Federal Level but we have been blacked balled from obtaining a attorney. A great injustice has been done to this man and myself. He is bleeding from his rectum, urinating on himself and not to mention the spasms he gets in his back that go down his legs. Mr. Durant is going through postmatic stress and major depression.
