Let us stop fighting and starting World Wars - No more killing

Every day and night as I proceed to enter the Front Avenue Garage I take a deep breath and cross my fingers in hopes that I make it to a secure parking spot without encountering, or becoming a part of a head-on collision. This parking garage failed to be constructed with the actual use of vehicles in mind. This is a constant safety issue and I myself have almost gotten into an accident a few times and I have almost gotten knocked down by a car while walking to my dormitory because the driver could not see clearly around the corner.

Pinto Lake Championship Disc Golf Course is a tremendous success story, transforming a once overgrown and dangerous public space into a thriving park that has witnessed dramatically increased use from disc golfers, walkers, joggers, bicyclists, bird-watchers, picnickers, etc.. It has hosted large womens tournaments, and even a world championship with hundreds of competitors and thousands of spectators. Tom Schot has received numerous awards in recognition of his work at Pinto Lake. However, a small (but vocal) group of residents in Soquel don't understand what has happened at Pinto Lake, and even believe that disc golf has been destructive to the environment and has scared away other park users. They have actually gone so far as to request a significant reduction or complete removal of the course.

In the modern era of commercial food supply, it is clear American Agribusiness wants to keep consumers in the dark. In fact, corn, soy, canola, cotton, alfalfa, papaya, sugar beets, zucchini, and yellow summer squash are commonly cultivated in chemical resistant, genetically engineered forms with no labeling requirements. Consumers have the right to know whether the foods they purchase contain genetically engineered material. Manipulating genes and inserting them into the commercial food supply is an imprecise process that produces results that are not always predictable or controllable, and could lead to adverse health or environmental consequences. Without mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods, consumers may unknowingly violate their own dietary and religious principles. More than 60 countries around the world, including the European Union, Russia, China, Japan, and South Africa have laws mandating the disclosure of genetically engineered foods on food labels. Consumers should have the choice to avoid purchasing foods that could cause adverse health and environmental consequences. We stand with the thousands of families, farmers, and advocates in helping Florida lead the way on labeling genetically engineered foods. We have a right to know what’s in the food we’re eating and feeding our families. STAND UP FOR CONSUMER RIGHTS. VOTE YES ON HB 1233, SB 1728, or any piece of legislation requiring proper labeling of genetically engineered foods.

i have learned that there is a move to change the neighborhood landscape as it relates to our libraries. I have attended two meetings concerning the Business Library in downtown Brooklyn. The plan as I understand it is to build a condominum and have the library in the basement on a lease arrangement. I believe if people can't see the library the n less people will not attend the library. right now people who don't live in the Heights appear to be the users of the library and not so much the people who live there,\ Are we trying to restructure the library so that people from other communities can;t use them? Just thinking outside the box. In Clinton Hill, I understand they are thinking of building housing on top of the present library(use of the air rights). In my community. We already have buildings that are empty because people can't get jobs and can't afford the housing that is already here. Who are we building this new housing for ? (Are we getting ready to do another regentrification)? We do have others in my community already, so is this to get rid of those of us who are still able to keep our brownstones and co-ops? Just Thinking,wondering. Someone please speak to us in the 8th Congressional district. Why don't we have enough money to keep our libraries. We need our Libraries for our children and for our Seniors and others too. But we need someone to tell why we can't have Libraries like we have always had. Please sign my petition if you are concerned about the Neighborhood Library. .

The FCC is planning to remove it's ban on the f word and partial nudity on regular day time television. They are only taking input on this topic this month. Please contact them. As a mother I already have a hard time maintaining the innocents of my three children. I think it's inappropriate and wrong to remove this ban and allow frontal nudity and the f word being broadcast on daytime television. Please stand up against this.

People try to blame AA/NA groups for trouble Daytona Beach area. I ask that people sign this petition who s lives have been made so much better, thanks to these groups. Are you a friend of Bills? I urge you yo please sign.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced it is considering dropping current broadcast decency standards that ban explicit profanity and "non-sexual" nudity.Specifically, if enacted, the new FCC policy would allow network television and local radio stations to air the f-word, the s-word and to allow programs to show frontal female nudity, even during hours when they know children will be watching and listening.

The heritage and tradition of the Washington Football team is under attack needlessly. Surveys executed among the Native American population show that the vast majority (90+%) not only aren't offended by the name "Redskins", they in fact support the team and appreciate the representation of their culture in modern media. Public resources are being spent needlessly on this issue in our legislature and is an affront to liberty to potentially force a change, when the majority of the impacted culture does not find the term offensive.

Help us protect our North Los Gatos Neighborhoods from the impacts of 4 4-story buildings comprising 550,000 sq. ft. with a 4 story parking structure, which will bring 3,000+ vehicle trips to the nearby streets and is not compatible with "small town" Los Gatos

Senator Fred Risser, 26th Senate District, is introducing a bill banning dogs from the Wisconsin wolf hunt. Dog-wolf conflicts, especially during the denning season, are guaranteed to lead to death on both sides. By any measure, this is barbarism.

It's estimated that one in four Americans have struggled with mental illness. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's aide's insensitive remarks about Ashley Judd are unacceptable and offensive to millions of Americans.
