Good happens because of your work. It's slow and laborious. No time to spare how ever; for justice, the environment, education, economic security. I propose this petition because it hurts so much to watch and wait.

I am a waffles lover, and Pancakes are awful. I think this because pancakes do not have square pockets to hold syrup in, and Waffles do. They Are much more fun to make than Pancakes as well. Pancakes should be removed from the equation.

New Yorkers are coming together to keep their neighbors safe and warm. Why isn't the Mayor? A constellation of volunteers have come together and worked day in and day out to help our neighbors in need. This volunteer force has been holding people up with food, supplies, comfort and so much more. And while the city has been engaged with some relief efforts, Mayor Bloomberg has blocked FEMA from bringing in the critical big resources that are needed. People cannot live in toxic mold infested homes without heat. We urgently need immediate temporary housing in affected areas, and a simultaneous effort to restore the homes to safe living conditions. Hotels are not a solution. Communities want to be rebuilt, not be displaced. Sandy took so much. Let’s not let a poor response from the City cause more deaths for New Yorkers

NJ-based pharmaceutical company, Celgene thinks its reason for being an ALEC member is "consistent with Celgene's vision, mission and values." ALEC promotes voter ID laws, "Stand Your Ground" laws like Florida's, anti-immigration laws like Arizona's SB 1070, laws to undermine collective bargaining and the minimum wage, bills that could privatize public education and resolutions that deny climate change. Sign this petition if you think Celgene should focus on improving the lives of patients, not funding ALEC’s extreme agenda!

When the great State of Ohio was established in 1803, it immediately began construction of a highway from Cincinnati to connect with other towns in the central and northern parts of the state. Since travel was by horseback and extremely slow, taverns for food and lodging along with a livery for horses were built every four miles from downtown Cincinnati. These respites were called Stands. The point where the highway crossed Columbia Road in Deerfield Township was twenty miles from the city of Cincinnati, so Twenty Mile Stand was located there in 1804. Not only was it a popular respite for travelers, it soon became an important stagecoach stop. Just east of Twenty Mile Stand the highway cut through the middle of the farm of Jeremiah Morrow who settled in the area in 1799. Morrow was immediately elected to the Ohio Territorial Legislature and when Ohio became a state he was bestowed the honor of being Ohio’s first congressman. Morrow was Ohio’s only congressman for ten years before being elevated to the senate. After riding across the mountains on horseback for sixteen years to represent the State of Ohio, Morrow felt it was time to return to his family and the mills he had built on the Little Miami River after the War of 1812. He immediately was appointed Commissioner of Canals with the goal of linking Lake Erie to the Ohio River. He earned great praise for the successful completion of the Ohio and Erie Canal by using prisoner labor. In 1822 Jeremiah Morrow was elected Governor of Ohio. Since there was no governor’s mansion, Morrow did most of his business from his home on the Little Miami River just over the hill from Twenty Mile Stand. The volume of mail for Morrow had already become so great as Commissioner of Canals it demanded a nearby post office; so a small one was established at Twenty Mile Stand in 1819. When Morrow became governor in 1822 the volume became so great it demanded a larger post office so a grand new stone building was built to replace the original tavern at Twenty Mile Stand with a larger post office and larger tavern that offered food, drink, and lodging to the governor’s many visitors. Morrow's record of sixteen years in his service to the country and Congress was elevated to high standards partly because of his journeys to and from Washington, DC. Many times his attendance was asked for in special sessions held in the summer, and he responded diligently. His trips over the mountains were made on horseback along with a complement of necessities. He forded many bridgeless streams, and sometimes swam his horse through the treacherous surges. His most outstanding work in Congress was related to public lands, in which he served for a long period of time as chairman. Jeremiah Morrow was credited by Judge Joshua Collett (also from Warren County) as a proven land laws expert. He spoke highly of him by writing: "He may, with propriety, be called the father of the land system of the United States. Being chairman of the committee on public lands he originated the land system and drew all the laws on the subject. No man ever possessed the confidence of the national legislature in regard to his public duties in a higher degree." Henry Clay spoke of Jeremiah Morrow in a speech in the Senate in 1832, with regards to his great service as head of the land committee. He said: "No man in the sphere within which he acted, ever commanded or deserved the implicit confidence of congress more than Jeremiah Morrow.” After serving as governor for two terms, Morrow directed his efforts to getting the Little Miami Railroad built. It was Cincinnati’s first railroad and there was little support from the city of Cincinnati as many of its wealthy businessmen saw little benefit to them as they resided on the west side of the city. Morrow persevered, knowing the importance of getting the livestock and grain of the farmers and flour and lumber from the many mills along the river to distant markets. He worked tirelessly as its president for ten years without pay to get the railroad up and running and the post office and tavern at Twenty Mile House were essential to Morrow’s success. The building has also been home to a valuable library known as “The Warren Library” and for 11 years the abolitionist newspaper, The Regenerator, was mailed from there. This historic treasure has been a tavern and stable landmark for 190 years. THIS BUILDING IS STRUCTURALLY SOUND AND IT IS A PRECIOUS ASSET THAT CAN NEVER BE REPLACED.

More than 300 janitors and window washers at O'Hare International Airport are at risk of losing their jobs just days before Christmas this year because Mayor Emanuel is replacing their employer with United Maintenance, a company with a history of undercutting good jobs. It's the domestic equivalent to outsourcing jobs to China. More: http://bit.ly/S5sk32

Article I of the Bill of Rights gives us the rights to freely practice religion and the freedom from religion as a governing authority. However, religion wants to overthrow our government and establish itself in the system, legislating it's ideals and forcing the people to live by it's standards. Several States in the Union already have theocratic legislation in place and assess penalties on those who do not recognize a Higher Power or do not practice religion, and require the people to be religious to qualify for a seat in public office.

President Barack Obama has asked Congress to approve $60.4 billion in aid to help East Coast states rebuild after Superstorm Sandy. House Republicans are threatening to hold up this desperately needed aid, demanding cuts in other areas before they will approve it.

I spend every evening of my life watching commercial after commercial on my cable TV ..........so many that I can vaccuum and dust a bedroom in the time that they run and sometimes it is the same one over and over. I want to start a petition to remove all commercials from my cable TV.
