The Schwartz Next Step Employment Shelter, under the management of the Volunteers Of America and Department of Homeless Services, is denying homeless clients entry, into the shelter, if they are, in possession, of any electrical or electronic devices. This includes, but not limited, to laptop computers, tablets, outlet adapters, extension cords. We are not to be, in possession of anything that requires electricity, with the exception, of a cell phone and charger. We have to go to the library in order to access the internet and information about housing and employment. We need to have those items that were purchased, by us, with our own money, and be allowed to use them, in the pursuit of happiness, as any free American citizen has the right to do. Being homeless and living, in a shelter is a difficult and trying experience, but it should not mean that your rights have to be taken from you, in order to live in a shelter.

This is a petition to call attention to the abuse that Mike Rice has subjected his players to at Rutgers University. This is unacceptable and he needs to be relieved of his duties.

Walmart, America's largest distributor of GMO foods, has GMO labels on their products in the UK, India, China and other countries. Walmart is the largest distributor of genetically modified foods in the U.S. We have seen our children's health improve when we removed GMOs from their diets. Sadly, a large percentage of Americans do not know about GMOs, so we want them labeled! We are doing this for the entire U.S. population that has a right to know. Walmart has a chance to lead the way in America's freedom to choose their family's food by requiring labels here too. When Walmart got rid of RBST in their milk it changed the market. It made a difference for me because I felt I could trust them. I felt like Walmart cared about the welfare of my children and the health of our families. You made a difference before, and you can do it again Walmart! Signed, Moms Across America and supporters of labeling.

In early 2012, a member of the Hector Town Board suffered severe injuries leaving him permanently incapacitated. New York State Law clearly states that this seat is now legally vacant, and the Hector Town Board may appoint a replacement to fill the seat until the next General Election. However, the Town Supervisor indicated that there was no plan or intention to fill the empty position, and the seat would be left vacant until the end of the term in 2015. We believe it is unacceptable for the residents of Hector to lack full representation on the Town Board and ask the Town Board to appoint a qualified replacement, and State Law gives them the power to do so. We urge them to do so without delay. In our opinion, the most qualified candidate and the electoral choice of residents of Hector to fill the vacated seat is the next runner-up in the 2011 Town Board race, Bo Lipari. Please sign this petition ONLY if you live or own land in the Town of Hector. For verification purposes, please enter the address where you reside or where you own property.

Georgia leads the Nation - for 3 consecutive years - in Child fatalities at the School Bus Loading/Unloading zone. This MUST change.

We (Family & Friends) believe and Feel that Whitney Houston's Death was not Properly Investigated.

Please pull the Lifetime show "The Client List" from air because it promotes prostitution and gives massage therapy a bad name. Reputable massage therapists lose business because of bad publicity and tv shows like "The Client List" that depict the profession poorly.

My friends & I go to the local Arcade to socialize, relax, get updated on news, have lunch, play games & we have a very enjoyable time. Do not let the Lobbyists shut them down! Remember, your job is to help us who voted you in, not the lobbyists!

Some MN state legislators tried to promote common-sense gun bills but were thwarted by NRA opposition, and crucially, by a lack of leadership on this issue at the top--from Governor Dayton, Speaker Thissen and Majority Leader Tom Bakk. We need to spur these leaders to speak out in support of true gun violence prevention legislation and to make sure that their caucus sticks together on this. At a minimum, this legslation must include UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS. Polls show that this is what the majority of Minnesotans want!

Bangladeshi Hindus are being murdered, raped and tortured without any protection from Bangladeshi government. Source: http://www.hrw.org/world-report-2012/world-report-2012-bangladesh Luckily, our own government has enormous influence to diplomatically pursuade other governments to take corrective actions, to emphasize and elevate incidents of human rights violations to global human rights organizations - among many other peaceful diplomatic means. Please join me (a naturalized citizen of the USA who was born in Bangladesh, and who has served in the US Air Force as an active-duty enlisted military personnel) to solicit the attention of our elected leaders in taking actions to address the blatant and on-going human rights violations in Bangladesh against the very peaceful and law-abiding Hindus.

There are Minnesotans who wish to: • consume whole raw dairy from grass-fed animals • visit the small-scale family farms • meet the farmer that grows their safe, high-quality food Our Minnesota Constitution recognizes these inalienable rights, however the Minnesota dairy statute (32.393 Limitation on Sale) unjustly restricts this right with the stipulation that the raw dairy be obtained “at the place or farm” and only “occasionally.” In addition, this statute discriminates against those who can’t drive to the farm, either due to financial or physical reasons, even though raw dairy is an already legal food that is proven to be safe and healthful. We are asking for Governor Mark Dayton of Minnesota to “un-do” these stipulations to allow farm-to-consumer deliveries (home delivery or mutually agreed upon drop site) and on a regular basis. It is important to reverse these laws that negate our inalienable rights as free American citizens and keep families from being able to obtain a food of their choice.

After 41 years, a group of protestors want the Memorial removed from a Coos Bay City park. When this memorial was dedicated, Vietnam Veterans Memorials were very few. The war was still going on. Protestors from around America were trashing Vietnam Veterans as baby-killers and village-burners. It is part of history. With a cross on it or not, it represents ALL Vietnam Veterans from across America. City Leaders will meat this week after Easter to decide on removing the cross memorial. Please have your say, Please sign and share. Save this Memorial for all the Heroes it represents.
