This municipal Petition supplements the statewide Petition "Safe Public Lands" (http://signon.org/sign/safe-public-lands). The practical and scientific literature describes how to effectively trap target species (e.g. raccoons) without endangering people or domestic animals (e.g. without killing people's dogs). This Petition simply asks for trapping regulations that are based on those proven methods--already in use by professionals and other responsible trappers. Although this petition is formally addressed to White Bear Township, it is also appropriate for other suburban communities. Please feel free to add your signature, even if you're a resident of another community; and please feel free to publicize it in your community. This Petition has been honored by the City of White Bear Lake, MN, which in January 2013 followed the lead of Shoreview, MN and other model communities by providing the protection that's requested here, while still allowing for necessary, responsible wildlife management. Unfortunately, this Petition has been rejected by the Board of White Bear Township, MN. On 9/5/2012, the Board adopted an Ordinance that had not even been checked for errors or omissions. It condoned trapping by any legal method anywhere in the Township, regardless of its inappropriateness for certain locations. For example, it allowed lethal trapping even in a residential yard adjacent to an area where people walk their dogs, or where children play. On 5/3/2013, the Board continued to express its satisfaction with the 9/5/2012 Ordinance, even rejecting a proposal by staff to fix its errors and omissions (although staff had taken care to avoid all of the issues that the Board had already rejected: no regulations on private property, and no limitations on recreational trapping).

Ohio is about to put many reputable dog breeders out of business with Bill 131 and the burdens it puts on us. The passing of this bill in the House will affect everyone wishing to buy or sell a well bred puppy in the future. Many of us will be put out of business at a time when the economy is very bad and jobs are non-existent. Please sign and stop this bill before it does more harm than good.

CNN Commentator Erick Erickson said "Watching a Hippie Protester Get Tased Just Makes my Day" after seeing a video of an innocent protester with his hands in the air saying "I didn't do anything wrong, I'm not doing anything wrong" get tased repeatedly to the ground and handcuffed. Erickson referred to the video as "hilarious" obviously taking pleasure in the protestor's pain. This kind of speech is hateful, supportive of violence and does not belong on our airwaves.

I strongly support Mr. Phillip H. Kwon's nomination to the New Jersey Supreme Court.

Tell Facebook to make the new format (Timeline) optional and not force us into it.

This petition is about the phasing out of incandescent light bulbs for Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs. There are people with allergic/ sensitivities to fluorescent-lighting and people who have autoimmune issues who can be aggravated by the Ultraviolet Light. There are people also with a condition not accepted by the American Medical Association, but the World Health Organization is conducting summits on across the world is Electromagnetic Field Radiation. This is a real issue for people. Don't let them phase out incandescent-lighting.

I believe the punishment given to Bryant Rowe for defending his self against a bully who had been tormenting him for months was far too severe.The bully only served one day of I.S.S. and proceeded to move to fairview county schools to escape the rest of his punishment.

Please help us kep Big Dog Station where it is and allow them to continue serving our community with the great events that they hold.

Radio host Wendy Wright of the ‘Wright on the Edge' talk show has recently been removed from the 4pm to 7pm line up. While Bernie McCain was on hiatus, Wendy occupied this WOL broadcast timeslot. In a very short time she transformed the typical dialogue coming from the station. I appreciate Black talk radio because it’s a seriously lacking market, but most of the current programming overwhelmingly focuses on racism which attracts older victimization mentalities. Of course racism is alive and well, rooted in the fabric of America, but 'Wright on the Edge' comes from an approach of empowerment. In addition to topics of racial injustice, she also tackles multiple forms of self determination, community advocacy, financial literacy, politics, spirituality, health, and so much more. With youthful energy she taps into the consciousness that reaches younger audiences. I appreciate what WOL currently offers but it can be expanded and diversified.

Thanks everyone for making my time at SignOn/MoveOn a rewarding and gratifying experience. Helping SignOn grow from virtually nothing, into a platform that empowers members and makes change has been extremely satisfying. A special shout-out to Anna and her leadership. I don’t plan on straying too far from the progressive online world but my first challenge will be to help Ilya win his primary. You should come help for a couple of days!
