The Lake County Library system needs your help because we are in danger of losing our only Reference Librarian in the county and the Upper Lake library is in danger of closing -- forever. The reason this is happening is because in December 2011 the State cut all funding for libraries to ZERO. The library still has a dedicated property tax, voted in by tax payers in 1974, but without State funding it's not enough. The Library has had to pull from its savings to continue operating. All the fat has been cut from the budget (with landscaping set to be jettisoned), and the only thing left is vital library services. The Lake County Board of Supervisors will be considering options to reduce library expenses on September 23, 2014. If you're fortunate enough to HAVE email, use it to let the County Supervisors know how important library services are in our communities. Just say "Please don't cut library services on Tuesday -- they are our only PUBLIC education resources for local residents."

I have been disabled (unable to work) since December 18, 2012, and have received nothing from a system that I have paid into for over 45 years. I worked 30 of those years here in the state of Nevada. I like many others here in this state have no recourse. The governor's office has been of no help. I am a U.S. Army Veteran and now I need your help.

The New York City DHS (Department of Homeless Services) and AFIC (Adult Family Intake Center) approval processes for homeless families do not provide the resources or stability that families need in order to overcome poverty. I am asking that ONCE A FAMILY IS PLACED IN TEMPORARY SHELTER THEY ARE NOT REMOVED UNTIL PERMANENT HOUSING IS AVAILABLE. THAT THE FAMILIES ARE PLACED IN ONE SHELTER AND NOT BOUNCED AROUND, AND THAT THE FUNDS (which range from $2,000-$3,800 especially if you have kids) BE UTILIZED TO PERMANENTLY HOUSE THE FAMILIES IN CO-OPS, DUPLEX HOUSING, AND PRIVATE HOUSES.

My brother has served 19 years in the Marine Corps, including two active duty tours in Iraq. He sustained a physical injury during service and has been diagnosed with severe PTSD. He has less than 9 months until full retirement, and the Marine Corp has declared him unfit for further service and will separate him from service with a minimal cash severance and no veteran's benefits for him or his family on SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2014. Each of his petitions and requests to remain in service have been denied.

SUPPORT self-sufficiency for the lower-earning spouse through alimony payments during a reasonable transition period. MAINTAIN appropriate judicial discretion in order to fairly judge unique circumstances where the lower-earning spouse is physically or mentally unable to work, and thereby refer to social welfare programs after 2 or 3 years of alimony. PROTECT second spouses from current case law, which requires judges to fully investigate second-spouses’ income/assets and then force the alimony payer to pay an increased amount of alimony to a first spouse based on a new “family income” – or face jail. PROVIDE equal and consistent treatment, so that the outcome of an alimony case is not decided by the Russian Roulette selection of the family court judge. CURTAIL expensive legal battles over vague alimony laws and interpretations. END LIFELONG ALIMONY DEPENDENCY, ALLOWING BOTH PARTIES OF THE DIVORCE TO BE ABLE TO MOVE-ON AND LIVE INDEPENDENT LIVES
