Our vision at Eastleigh Farm is to preserve the land for the community as a rich agricultural, educational & recreational resource. Eastleigh is the last dairy farm for many miles in any direction. The farm has so much to offer the town and surrounding area as an educational experience and a source of local, wholesome food. -Sustaining biodiversity in plants and animals (Deer, gophers, hawks, a flock of about 30 turkeys, and much more. The land, which includes pasture land and wooded areas, is a habitat to many species of plants and animals) -Educating the public about local agriculture and food (offering educational farm tours and on site agricultural events) -Being a part of Framinghams' natural and cultural heritage (The community has the opportunity to enjoy the landscape and geology, as well as the legacy of architecture and the operation that has been a part of Framingham for over 80 years) -A source for local food(our products made from humanely raised grass-fed cows, free of anti-biotics and hormones) -A place to relax, be inspired and enjoy family friendly outings -Helping educate interns who may be pursuing careers in agriculture or veterinary studies This vision has recently become harder to hold onto as Eastleigh's future is threatened by a potential decision to make the farm pay for access to water for its first time in history. For 80 years the town of Framingham has granted water rights to Eastleigh Farm in exchange for the water pipes that were placed underneath the land to feed water to many homes in the Northwest side of town. For the first time in history, the town of Framingham wants Eastleigh Farm to pay for water. This decision will go great lengths to making Eastleigh financially unviable. We ask that only Framingham residents sign this petition. However, we encourage everyone and anyone who supports Eastleigh Farm to attend the Framingham Town Hall meeting on Tuesday, July 24th at 7:00pm.

Yes, because I get only 308/monthly S/S pay even though I was told in writing by the S/S office that after my ex-husband died I would receive a widow's benefit. Inasmuch as my ex-husband left me with no income, I felt I was entitled to at least a percentage of his S/S payments.

I think that once the Congressmen and Senators leave office that their salaries should stop.

It would be to limit the number of consecutive terms for the Congress and Senate to three. We have individuals who have become professional politicians and they need to be held to limits just as the President and Vice President are.

The current system for Veterans prefference. Doesn't sevre our Veterans, i. e. 12% unemployed.. I was .passed over even though I had 10 points and scored in the 90% We need a law that make sure that Veterans are hired first at all levels of government. If a job is paid with taxes,there should be a Veteran doing it. .

We need to know all information about someone running for the highest office. No more hiding or playing games, once someone files the paperwork to run for President 10 years of tax returns are to be sent at the same time.

All breeding of pit bulls should be by license only to stop the breeding of a fine animal for the wrong reasons.

This is a petition for the cable channel BET to be renamed. As a black American I no longer wish for this station and the programs aired to represent the views or preferences of myself or my race. The lack of positive programming geared toward the black community casts a negative light on people of color and until they learn what it really means to be black in America they should no longer have the right to represent our culture.

Every citizen has the responsibility to vote. We need more people voting, not less. Many countries require citizens age 18-70 to vote (Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Bolivia, Greece, Mexico, Brazil, Peru). Even though it often is not enforced, voting is an acknowledged obligation of adult citizens. Voter ID should be defeated because it means fewer people will vote.

Viacom is pushing DIRECTV customers to pay more than a 30 percent increase, which equates to an extra $1 billion, despite the fact that the ratings for many of their main networks have plummeted and much of Viacom’s programming can be seen for free online,
