  • Advocating For Those in Need of Advocation!
    As a member of The National Exchange Club a main goal is the Prevention of Child Abuse. With certain budget cuts to in need will be ignored or put in jeopardy. Children are a target of abuse in many scenarios not just in the home. Preventing child abuse must be a priority in our country let alone our state. Many of the state funded programs targeted to help children whether education, housing or nutrition are being sliced and diced. Where there should be more allotment in these areas there are cuts. This is unacceptable. If we do anything in this world, we must protect our children.

  • Mayor Mike Herndon: Pave our road to church
    I attend church at St. Michael's Catholic along with about 200 other members. Most of our elderly such as Simona Sabballos, Agustin and Fidela Garcia, all currently 89 years old, are the focus of our request. Honoring and caring for our elderly should be top priority. Thus I ask that CR 477 also known as 24th street along with Ave. K be paved.

  • Do not allow Central Expressway (US 75) to be named after George W. Bush.
    State Representative Dan Branch has introduced House Bill 3520 which would rename 7 miles of US 75, or Central Expressway, in honor of George W Bush. Central is the main artery from downtown to the suburbs, named after the former railroad line that ran between downtown and historic Deep Ellum. To rename this historic stretch of road after a president who has done little if anything significant for this city ignores our local history and compromises our integrity. W may live here now, but he does not represent our fair city. Sign this petition to preserve our cultural history and keep Central Expressway as is.

  • Woodmont Commons Traffic and Noise
    As you know, Woodmont Orchards and the wooded area along Hovey Road are in the process of being developed. This future development as well as exit 4A WEST, if it is built, have great potential to significantly increase traffic and noise within our neighborhoods. Unfortunately, the study areas of the Traffic Impact Assessment DID NOT include surrounding neighborhoods, like Wedgewood Drive.
