People all over the country are affected by this issue. Everyone should be concerned. Our prisons are getting more and more Veterans everyday. They deserve someone to care to help them instead of Locking them away in Prison. PTSD is REAL........ Fight for their Freedom as they have fought for ours..... My son was in US Army, served 3 combat tours, came home 100% disabled Vet, which 70% is PTSD. He is now doing prison time with a 5 year sentence, for instances with broken soft pellet bebe gun. Nobody was hurt. He only stopped drug dealers from selling Oxicotins to young kids. For full details join the group or page "Freedom for Jason" on facebook. Please sign this petition and get it out there. LET's Get them help that they need and deserve..

Childcare now costs more than public college in most states in our nation, leaving hundreds of thousands of people struggling to pay for high-quality childcare. But this fact is relatively unknown by our elected leaders. When there is no full-time stay-at-home caregiver in most American families because the adults need to bring home paychecks, this adds up to a national emergency – yes, A NATIONAL EMERGENCY! -- with dire consequences for our littlest learners and the national economy. In order to work, parents need safe, enriching places for their kids to be so they can work; and kids need high quality child care so they can thrive. Investing in early learning boosts our families and economy alike. Sign on to MomsRising message and this open letter, which we'll deliver to our Congressional leaders. ____________________________________________ Dear Member of Congress, Moms and kids can't wait any longer! Increased investments in affordable, high-quality childcare and early learning opportunities to ensure all children are ready and successful for school and life are needed now. Childcare now costs more than public college, making this a national emergency. It’s time to invest in early learning. Research tells us that the first 2,000 days build the critical foundation for a child's readiness to be successful in school and life. Leading economists agree, investments in high-quality early learning programs like preschool actually save future dollars for everyone. In fact, children who have high-quality early learning experiences are more likely to succeed in school, graduate from high school, gain stable employment, and are less likely to be arrested later in life. Studies show that for every dollar invested in high-quality early learning, we see a return of up to $7.00. Voters understand that it is important to spend now in order to save later. In fact 71% of voters (both Republican and Democrat) want to invest in early learning now to save future dollars. Sadly, quality childcare now costs more than college in our nation—and even though parents need safe, enriching places for children to be so they can work, too few options are available. It’s a national emergency. We can't afford to lose another day. Please support increased investments in high-quality early learning opportunities like preschool and childcare now.

I almost fell off my bike while biking to class after dark. The bumps are angular and do not accommodate road bikes or mountain bikes to pass over them without tire damage. There are other alternatives that would make the path more accessible for wheelchairs and safer for pedestrians and cyclists.

As a resident of Park Circle, it is my goal to promote safe and pleasant conditions for non-motorized street users while maintaining the safe movement of local vehicular traffic.

Concerned about serious accidents during inclement weather on the substandard, dangerous stretch of U.S. Highway 95 on Reisenauer Hill, Paradise Ridge Defense Coalition and citizens of Latah County, Idaho, again strongly urge the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) to immediately implement significant, site-specific measures to mitigate highway conditions and improve safety. Petition signers request that ITD lower and seek enforcement of the speed limit, erect reduced speed limit warning signs, and install rumble strips in appropriate places on this section of Highway 95.

We are voters, we are citizens, we have rights and we will stand up for them. If your loved one needs help to be heard, please share your story with the TBCJ.

Almost every year the power will go out for days at a time, and the water pressure to our homes is affected. If the power goes out for hours or days at a time, even if we have a generator for our homes, the community well pumphouse does not pump water. We need to have a dedicated backup generator for our neighborhood.

Warfleigh, Broad Ripple, North Butler-Tarkington and surrounding areas lie in a 100-year flood plain, placing lives and homes at risk. The Indianapolis North Flood Damage Reduction Project seeks to remove these areas from the flood plain. Most recently, the City of Indianapolis announced its plan to complete the project. However, opposition to the project remains strong with some seeking to either temporarily or permanently cease project progress. Meanwhile, while the lives and homes of residents remain at risk, Congress acted in 2012 to impose additional hardship upon affected residents by passing the Biggert-Waters Act which sharply increases premiums and rates charged to homeowners for flood insurance.

I used to drive for a living and my trips took me over and under the Interstate 35 W bridge several times a week, frequently on a Friday afternoon between 5 and 5:30 p.m.. On the day the 35 bridge collapsed I had left work 4:30 and was in my kitchen preparing dinner when the story hit the airwaves. Every time I see the picture I am reminded that I could have been under that rubble. According to the Federal Highway Administration, more than 70,000 bridges throughout America are deemed “Structurally Deficient”. Corporate America,, local and state leaders, and even the conservative U.S. Chamber of Commerce are asking for massive investments in bridges, roads, railways and airports. According to the story, 30,000 well paying jobs would be created for every $1 billion of investment. It is time for Americans to say “Enough! Stop avoiding the problem and start fixing it!”. This is why I’ve started this petition. Please sign it, pass this e-mail on to your friends and relatives and have them sign it. Erik Paulsen won re-election in November with 167,515 votes. Our goal is 167,515 signatures by the end of this year. If he is confronted with the same number of signatures as votes won, he would be compelled to act on our request. Sincerely, Joe Cherra

So many children struggle with this disorder and I have personally seen the effects of APD. With APD not being recognized, my daughter can only receive a Section 504 with limited accommodations. That's not enough. She deserves more. She needs more. Unfortunately, she can't get more. Let's stop the insanity! Please sign and get APD recognized for ALL children with processing disorders - equality for ALL!!!!!

I am a veteran and I have nothing against immigrants. I just want our country to also pay their bill to the veterans who gave their all when our country asked them to.

There are some children that are brought up in homes with Drug users and broken families. In this day and time you have to hurt a child or abuse a child to get something done by the laws in Kentucky. I have seen with my own eyes, that when a new born baby is born and they have drugs in there system, the state will walk in and make a prevention plan and send the child home to the drug invested home. The Social workers will go back in thirty days and re-test the parents and (yes) they will have passed a drug test, by cheating the system or whatever and then the social workers will walk away, not protecting the child and not knowing if the child is being feed or bathed or brought up in a good safe home, while the parents are using again. This law system is something else. We as Grandparents need to protect Children from harm and danger and that is why I am starting this Petition. The love that I have for my Granddaughter is a never lasting love that breaks my heart since she has been taken away from me after raising her for 16 long months. When I know that the parents that she is with are both on drugs and they have no home and have no jobs, this is not a good or safe environment for children. We as Grandparents need to stand up and protect our grandchildren when the parents cannot or will not. Drugs is taken over the world and no one will stand up and help do anything to stop it. Please sign this and pass it along.
