Enough evidence exists showing sugar and artificial ingredients are harmful to children's health to persuade over 40 school districts nationwide to eliminate sugared beverages from their schools. Despite the evidence, schools in Bend, Oregon continue to serve chocolate, strawberry or root beer flavored milk and juice twice daily to children of all ages disguising them as healthy drink options. Some studies have linked excess sugar intake to obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease as well as hyperactivity, anxiety, difficulty concentrating and crankiness in children. These drinks contribute extra calories to the meal, contain controversial artificial flavors and coloring and stop children from appreciating healthier, less sweet options. One of the easiest, quickest and least expensive ways we can limit excess sugar, calories and chemical intake is by eliminating flavored milk and juice in schools. Tell Bend, Oregon schools you want to make our children’s health a priority and support only wholesome white milk and water being served with school breakfast and lunch.

You can't make an informed choice unless you HAVE a choice. But do you know what your choices are? Take a moment to DEMAND A FAIR AND BALANCED MERGER FORUM for both sides of the issue! 100 plus pages of pro merger documents to read through, versus the mere 1000 words SAG's executives have allowed the minority opinion, is not hearing both sides. Once done, Merger cannot be undone. This is our future. Vote ... intelligently. Read, sign and let others know.

Recently it has come to the attention of Pokemon fans that the original 6 games (Red Version, Blue Version, Yellow Version, Gold Version, Silver Version and Crystal Version) have a certain battery life built into them. That battery life lasts around 12-15 and most batteries will expire this year, preventing anyone from playing the original cartridges properly. While these cartridges may be lost forever, the games can still be preserved. This petition is to raise awareness to Nintendo and Game Freak about the demand for a re-release of the original 6 Pokemon games in their original format. This re-release would not be on a cartridge but would be downloadable content from the DSi/3DS e-shop, where anyone could purchase the games and download them. This would not only preserve the games, but the memories that go along with them. The re-release of these games would benefit not only Pokemon fans who wish to revisit the original series (and newcomers who want to experience it for the first time) but would also benefit Nintendo and Game Freak for the sales of these games would fly through the roof. Please sign to show Nintendo and Game Freak what we want!

To the Olympics 2012 committee, We wish for you to consider David Tennant as the official Lighter of the Olympic Flame. David portrays the Tenth Doctor on Doctor Who, a programme which has been part of our national consciousness for almost half a century and of which it can be said, captures the heart of being British more than an other piece of popular culture on television today. David, as the Doctor, was seen lighting the Flame in an episode called Fear Her which featured the 2012 Olympics. We feel it would be entirely appropriate for him to be given this honour for real.

End the Wars, Now!

Florida is in the midst of a foreclosure crisis. Compounding that is the vast mortgage fraud being perpetrated by robosigning and the lack of any clear path of ownership of the mortgage. To speed the clearance of foreclosures and heal the housing market, we need to enact legislation that will help clear the market while maintaining the rights of individuals. Please consider the following text of such legislation: Upon the filing of a foreclosure notice to the appropriate Florida County Clerk of Courts the Mortgagor (lender) will, within 30 days, file with the appropriate Florida County Clerk of Courts, the original signed Mortgage on the subject property. In absence of such an original signed Mortgage, filed in accordance with this provision, the appropriate Florida County Clerk of Courts will issue and record a satisfaction of lien for the subject property to the mortgagee. A fee of $50 will be paid by the Mortgagor upon filing the foreclosure notice to the appropriate Florida County Clerk of Courts.

Our Executive Councils and Leadership have come under scrutiny from those in support of State Patty's Day. They did not make this decision on their own. They are not alone. We support their efforts.

Bullying is horrible and causes a handful of suicides each year. One example is teasing/bullying emos. No matter what, it hurts people mentally and physically. No one deserves to be treated like that!
