As a resident of the Bronx, I have personally seen what has happened to station entrances where there is no human presence. At least today, people have the option to go to a staffed entrance and stay in the off-hour waiting area until their train comes. Without an agent in a fixed position, this vital safety/security feature will be useless. We need a human presence in the subway system!

I've been forced to live with an abuser five years too long simply to protect my children from being abused by their own father. The courts are more often then not awarding at least standard if not full custody to the known abusive parent and the protective parent is made to look vindictive. I'm not vindictive. I just happen to feel that my children and all children deserve to have the same constitutional rights as their adult counterparts. We call the problem women's issues. I beg to differ- I have a son and I have many friends with sons, it's not women's issues, it's actually a lack of human liberty's issues. It is time for transparency in family courts, juvenile courts and most importantly with child and family "services"- (and I use that term loosely). The above mentioned entities need to be required to have outside, non-affiliated auditors and checks and balances mandated and in place to protect human rights and constitutional rights of adults and children. The system is so quick to believe that children can't comprehend what is in their own best interest. The system is wrong. Children know if they are safe or not with a parent- or an abusive parent. Children aren't that easily manipulated. In fact, Children are smarter today then in any other time in history. Children deserve basic constitutional and human rights without the court systems infringing on the rights constitutional rights of the children and often forcing the protective parent go bankrupt fighting a losing battle due to the fact that abusive parents are afforded constitutional rights and children are not granted the same constitutional rights. Due to this imbalance of power and the virtual inability of children to have a voice or even human and constitutional rights, children are not being protected under the same constitution as adults, in particular an abusive parent. It is time to fight to protect the safety and constitutional rights of innocent children. Children being forced to go with an abusive parent or even live with them full time is an epidemic and world-wide problem with no incentive to stop the injustice, unless we grant children constitutional rights. Please sign this petition and let's give our children a voice and a chance at what I always believed was a basic human right- constitutional rights. While I was memorizing the constitution while I was growing up, no one ever mentioned that it wasn't relevant to me as a child. Our children know what is in their best interest far more than any courts. Please sign- it's time we grant constitutional rights to children.

Peekskill's oldest building, the Lent House, has been deteriorating for decades. It is an important reminder of Peekskill's place in history, and desperately needs restoration. Funding, willpower, and voices are needed to preserve this gem before it is lost forever.

Since San Francisco voters and city officials handed authority for managing our streets, traffic, parking, Muni, and taxis to the SFMTA, all those systems have deteriorated. SFMTA spends more money and delivers less service per capita than any comparable transit system in the country. Claims of fraudulent accounting practices, handshake deals, and preferential treatment, are running rampant. Muni drivers have a class action suit pending and there are a number of CEQA appeals winding their way through the courts. Reduced parking and restricted traffic lanes have created daily gridlock. San Francisco is now rated the third worst in the country for parking. The congestion parking schemes do not work as promised and the MTA has no real plan to deal with the increase in traffic that new development will inevitably bring. We have lost faith in the SFMTA and are fed up with promises of future visions of grandeur. Muni delivers less than 98.5% of scheduled service and has never met 85% of on time performance. Everyone complains about lack of notice, public outreach and citizen involvement in developing and approving citywide transit projects. Plans to revise Muni lines, along with threats to raise rates, fees and fines, have turned many Muni riders against the SFMTA and customer satisfaction is at an all time low. Residents are unlikely to support any new fares, fines, fees, bonds, or other funding measures to dig the SFMTA out of its financial hole. The SFMTA has lost the trust of residents and we believe the only way out of this mess is to pass a Charter Amendment to fix the MTA. Please sign the petition, leave your comments, join us or work with neighborhood groups to help us fix the MTA. Thank you for your support. Use the comments to let city officials know how you feel about the MTA when you sign the petition. Emails are required to avoid double signatures, but they are blind.

I have been personally affected by the current child support system in a negative manner. The current law is outdated, unfair, and in many instances, unconstitutional. Reform is needed so that the modern family and our diverse situations can be correctly addressed. This will ensure that proper guidelines are being mandated and followed. No child deserves to be subjected to witnessing their parent fall victim to the child support system.

If you pick the weekend shuttle up at W-lot it will take you a whole 30 mins to get to campus, 5 times longer than it would during the week. That's an entire How I Met your Mother episode, with commercials! We want a weekend shuttle that will get you to where you want to go quickly and efficiently so you can spend your weekend how it was meant to be spent. Watching Netflix.

Funding from Prince George’s County Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) is critical to the infrastructure and community program operations for the smaller and older municipalities within the Gateway Arts District. As a stakeholder in the community, I would like to stress how dire this funding is for our communities. We work, live and invest in these communities. Towns like North Brentwood and Brentwood need this funding. Organizations like the Gateway CDC, Joe’s Movement Emporium, Art Works Now, the Prince George’s African American Museum and Cultural Center, the Prince George’s Arts and Humanities Council are partners in revitalizing and driving economic growth along U.S. Route 1 – county support is critical in ensuring the success and stability of these organizations and communities in the Gateway Arts District.

As a parent I value this space because it offers my children the much needed breath of fresh air and natural exposure within the city we are bound. Fairview Park, as it exits now, invites the visitor to reflect upon the Native Americans who lived there for thousands of years, as is reflected in various sites nationally recognized as archaeologically significant. Frankly speaking there is NO place that offers the oppurtunities that exist in Fairview Park.

The Indiana Farmers' Market has run out of space in its Wednesday evening location in the S&T Bank parking lot. It would like to move to Downtown Indiana's IRMC Park on Wednesday evenings. Since it's had to turn away vendors due to its limited space, the market may be forced to seek alternative locations outside the Borough if Council doesn't approve the use of IRMC Park.

Only .4% of the Department of Health and Human Services budget goes to the Adult Protective Services Department. In January there was 3000 cases and only 112 APS agents in the entire state of Michigan. A member of my family had a large part of her savings stolen due to telephone fraud and exploitation. Several of her elderly neighbors have been neglected or abused by family members and caretakers. We want abuse, exploitation, and neglect investigated and eliminated for this vulnerable adult population. Help the governor and state legislature see that we care what is happening to our elderly. More money needs to be invested into this population. Please don't hesitate sign our petition today your future depends on it.

Un-Justice was done by My children & their mother by Judge Henry Stevens taking my constitutional right to be a parent away from me. There is no word or words that could ever express what this has done to my kids nor me.

My husband Cliff, injured in 1996, rendering him paralyzed from the shoulders down, needs 24 hour care and assistance with every aspect of his life. The Michigan No Fault benefits has given him freedom to enjoy his family through a handicap accessible van, medical care with specialists that understand the complexity of his disabilities, and rehabilitation benefits that help him stay in top shape for the challenges he faces daily.
