Save Education and Treatment Programs in PrisonsEducation and treatment of mental illness and substance abuse is important to the rehabilitation of convicted criminals. 80% of the population upon entry has one or both of these issues and have a better chance for rehabilitation if these programs are available to them. Education and treatment is the key to rehabilitation. These programs work and should not be cut from the prison system.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Katrin Pointer

Taxes for the 1% who are not paying anythingThis effects all of us, especially the poor and people on Social Security.. The 1% pays maybe 10 cents on every dollar and the rest of us are paying the 99% of all the rest of the bill. It does not matter if you are Democrat or Republican aren't you tired of being taxed so much, I know I am. Also the tax system needs repairing maybe if everyone will get involved we can make it work.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Linda Singleterry

During that event, the Mayor of Charleston presented the family with a Proclamation from the City of Charleston.

Please post!Last summer, our area (the Schoharie Basin) was hit very hard by Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. Tom's parents lost their home & 50 years of memories. Tom and I lost our print shop, equipment and 1/2 our income. 2,500 other businesses and families have lost so much as well. Don't let the "cute" flood commercials fool you! Some of those who had flood insurance are still struggling to get paid, 7 months later. Those that have gotten paid were only given 80% of what their house is CURRENTLY worth not what they were insured for. Those not in a flood plain weren't required to have flood insurance and weren't aware of the "water clause" in their insurance policy. Mortgage companies are battling with insurance companies while families are still homeless wandering from place to place. FEMA trailers still sit in a parking lot outside the effected area rather than on the lots of damaged homes due to ridiculous laws. FEMA doesn't cover businesses or out buildings and the MOST a family received from FEMA was $30,000 to cover the damages to their homes and belongings. FEMA doesn't cover foundations or mechanicals in basements. They don't cover renters or their belongings. It also doesn't cover rental apartments or rental homes. The state allocated money to help families, farms and businesses get back on their feet as well as repairing county and town buildings, rental properties, infrastructure, roads and more. However, it's caught in a bureaucratic nightmare! We need your help! Please read the petition, sign it and pass it on by posting on your Facebook page! Thank you!!52 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Linda Quinn
