Please sign this petition insisting on our basic human right to know and CHOOSE what we ingest. Demand mandatory labeling of all GMO ingredients (including animal products from animals fed GMO) so we can exercise our freedom of CHOICE!

The president of The Conservancy has communicated to me that it's membership's wishes are that there be no name change and no one's name appear on the title of The Coast to Crest Trail and Jerry's wife concurs. I hereby withdraw my pursuit in changing that trail's name, and this petition will not be delivered to either recipient. This petition will be left online for now, and if you support honoring Jerry Schad in a positive way proportional to the magnitude of his contributions that has the blessings of those who were closest to him, then sign this petition. I'll leave it to others to decide what that will be, and will decline any leadership role in that process. http://rparky.tumblr.com/post/11004273422/honoring-jerry-schad

The Love Declaration is a personal transformation covenant whose purpose is to be a bridge to our awakened conscious unity. It is a spiritually-initiative portal through which all beings are invited to pass via the authentic setting aside of the illusion of a separate self. It is a powerful and unambiguous thought form, and is intended to be freely shared, moving as a gift from heart to heart as timed and guided by the Good That Is. It’s mission is to inspire unifying miracles by rigorously voicing---without exceptions, backdoors, loopholes, or exits of any kind---a fundamentally true knowing living deep within every created sentient being. Regardless of any failures to actually BE it moment to moment, The Love Declaration stands for the possibility of knowing ourselves as our Word in exactly the same way that life’s Creator knows itself as it’s Word. This Declaration, by including and going beyond the present tense simple into the future-promissory (I am and I will be) languages for the benefit of our personal awareness the actively compassionate voice of our universal relatedness. It is a tool providing the limitless non-comparative reality of Absolute Love a trustable anchoring presence for our hearts and minds. Beyond suggesting daily remembrance, and that its usage be public, shared, and communion-generating, The Love Declaration, being universal, comes “without instructions”, because guidance regarding its use is available within every being directly for the sincere asking, whatever our individual cultural backgrounds, faith persuasions, or other life-contextualizing paradigms. Thank you for recognizing that your life, and the creative, intentional, and contributive way you live it, is a blessing absolutely essential to the wholeness of Life. There is only One of us here.

Quoting Roberta Smith in The New York Times 9/19/11: "Please. Someone, everyone, do something to save the American Folk Art Museum from dissolution and dispersal. Or at least slow down the process, so that all options can be thoroughly considered. New York’s contemporary artists, and New York as a whole, need the creative energy of this stubborn, single-minded little institution, its outstanding exhibition program and its wondrous collection, an unparalleled mixture of classic American folk art and 20th-century outsider geniuses.

Since their inception the University of California has managed both of the nation's nuclear weapons labs¹. Every nuclear weapon in the United States arsenal has been designed and developed under the auspices of the UC. It is unconscionable that an institution of higher learning be responsible for bringing weapons of mass destruction into the world. Furthermore, by continuing to manage the weapons labs the University of California legitimizes and helps shield from criticism the United States’ nuclear weapons program and arsenal.

In order for the Game of Darts to grow in the United States, it is obvious that communications need to improve. I think the best way to do this is to move and revamp the day to day operations of the ADO. Moving the office will reduce expenses and improve operations.

Law firms are filing foreclosure actions without first checking whether their clients own the debt underlying the mortgage being foreclosed; they proceed based on frequently faulty assignments of mortgage rather than proving debt ownership. Judges are allowing this. Introduce retroactive legislation to stop both lawyers and judges from allowing this inequity, and require foreclosures be examined and as applicable be reversed.

Let us stop calling OUR country "this country."

Vashon Thriftway gives free cookies to children, but many children are allergic to gluten, eggs, and dairy. Let's extend the inclusivity and healthfulness of Vashon to our children by giving them fruit instead of cookies.

The Veterans Administration Claims Adjudication Process is totally unresponsive to the needs of disabled american veterans. It takes on average 10 to 20 years for a veteran to obtain benefits from disablities incurred on active military service. The present VA Claims Adjudication Process is extremely adversarial and veteran hostile. A system more human and amendable to the needs of veterans and their families needs to be implemented.

CVS is proposing to build an uninspired big-box store and parking lot at the gateway to Sebastopol (kitty corner from Screamin' Mimi's). Their current location in an existing shopping center works for the community. If they build the new big box store, we won't buy!
