• You Are Beautiful
    We are creating this petition to help people realize that they are beautiful. It is a simple and powerful message. In each one of us, there exists true beauty. Too many have fallen prey to the false airbrushed images plastered in so many places such as our grocery stores, pharmacies, and malls. There is this perverse image of the human body that is free of blemishes, free of skin conditions, free of "fat"—and we wonder why so many in our society are depressed and unsatisfied with their lives. We also forget there are invisible conditions such as autism and asthma. So instead of commenting on the issue and creating a typical awareness campaign, we decided to showcase each person's beauty in a Full Spectrum Geek program called "You Are Beautiful". Feel free to email us anonymous photos of yourself for the You Are Beautiful project. This will help everyone, male/female/other, realize that each of us is unique. The goal is to have a massive collection of different shaped bodies. We are beautiful. We are normal in an "abnormal" way. We are unique. We will no longer be ashamed of our bodies and let it be a source of exclusion. Be happy, eat healthy, and stay active. True beauty comes from within and being a good person. Feel free to email us anonymous pictures to: Fullspectrumgeek8d(at)gmail.com You can view the growing collection at: http://facebook.com/yabfsg You can upload your own pictures using the hashtag #IamBeautiful #YouAreBeautiful P.S. We have no commercial interests, so please do not contact us to promote your product. This campaign is bigger than that. The only thing you should be sold on is the fact that YOU are beautiful

  • State of Rhode Island: Legalize Raw Milk - S 15 / House Bill 5820
    This bill will benefit farmers and small businesses in Rhode Island, revitalizing the state's dairy industry. Pasteurization laws favor large, industrialized dairy operations and squeeze out small farmers. When farmers have the right to sell unprocessed milk to consumers, they can make a decent living, even with small herds. This bill will also provide consumers the option to purchase raw milk in Rhode Island. This is a fight for food freedom, the right to choose the food we consume. *CURRENT SITUATION FOR RAW MILK SALES* Retail sales are legal in 10 states On-farm sales are legal in 15 states Herdshares are legal in 4 states There is no law on herdshares in 6 states Pet food sales are legal in 4 states, implying that human consumption is feasible Raw milk sales are illegal in 11 states and the District of Columbia Please, personally, contact your representatives and tell them you want raw milk legalized in Rhode Island!

  • Require License to drive RVs
    We see a high rate of accidents and damage related to people attempting to operate vehicles they have never been trained how to drive. Numerous occasions of large RV changing lanes causing accidents they were not directly involved in, so the report doesn't count them as the cause. Large RV trailers hung in driveways from driver not understanding clearances. If it's over a boat trailer it should be classified as requiring commercial type of license to operate/pull.

  • STOP Hazing, Branding and Killing Columbia River Sea Lions
    Every year in Astoria and at Bonneville Dam, innocent sea lions are hazed, branded, tortured and killed for the simple act of eating. The acts are immoral, unethical and inflict severe pain and suffering on the sea lions. The dam itself, pollution and over-fishing are the real issues which affect the fish population, NOT sea lions.

  • Daylight Savings Time
    Let's decide on one or the other... either we stay on daylight savings time, all of the time... OR, we stay on the other 'time' all of the time. So many folks that I know are tired of switching back and forth, and, for NO GOOD REASON!

  • Let's Get Ed Schultz back on Prime Time
    Ed Schultz, who is on at 8 P.M. on MSNBC is being moved to Saturdays and Sundays. Ed is a voice for the people and has been in the forefront for working class Americans, of all colors. Americans can not afford to lose such a voice when so many working class people are struggling to survive. Ed will be replaced by Chris Hayes. Chris is a bright young man but people in the 40-70 age bracket will not find a commonality with Chris Hayes. Join with us and get Ed Schultz back.

  • Add Norooz to Maryland school holidays!
    Many Maryland residents celebrate Norooz as part of their heritage and background. For those of us who do, it means taking a day off at work or having an "unexcused absence" at school.
