Unless the May Avenue bridge over Northwest Highway (State Highway 3) is replaced in the very near future a catastrophe will occur.

We all pay for these so called "entitlements" These are Paid Benefits Words count...... We need to own this not the Republicans .

The traffic on Redwood Road and Jamison Way will be negatively affected with the development of this project. Local residents and shoppers will be affected with greater traffic, cars backed up blocking intersections and driveways, and dangerous left-hand turns will be required to access the shopping center from both Redwood and Jamison. The safety of elderly pedestrians as well as families with young children and pets in the area will be jeopardized. Parking in the Village will only be increased by 41 spaces, half of which will likely go to employees of the TJ MAXX. The parking lot is already congested and inconvenient; consequently, many patrons and employees of the Village will choose to park along Jamison, a residential street already lacking parking. The parking issues, traffic impact, danger and inconvenience likely to be caused to the area have not been properly addressed in the current proposal approved by the Castro Valley MAC.

Payments made to the Social Security System to withdraw from when wage-earners retire are not "entitlements". Entitlements are actually those expenses that NO ONE paid into. Support President Obama's position on this issue!

The Old Village Historic District Commission guidelines and town ordinance includes porches in the BAR (Building Area Ratio) Requirement for allowable square footage for homes in the Old Village Historic District. The BAR ordinance should be amended because it puts an unnecessary restriction on builders and homeowners in the OVHD. When designing a home people shouldn't have to choose between a bedroom for a child and a front and/or back porch. Porches don't make houses look overly large. Porches are cherished places and historically they are the "ubiquitous feature of the Old Village." Therefore, the Town of Mt. Pleasant should embrace porches as welcome additions especially on Old Village homes. Old Village residents should be encouraged to have porches, not discouraged from them. No other town in the Southeast restricts porches. So let's face it; it's absurd that the OVHDC has this restriction in their BAR ordinance and it needs to be fixed.

The lack of parking for downtown employees is causing massive debt and legal problems for the workers who keep our downtown businesses alive. There should be more easily accessible parking for downtown employees.

The Florida Retirement System is stable and healthy, but Governor Rick Scott and the Republicans want to close the system to new enrollees. The long-term fiscal viability will be undermined for no good reason. Dismantling FRS would have a huge impact on Florida's economy.

Cut the bull with Republicans, Tell the American people the truth!

fix our bridges, sewer, and water systems

The Atlanta Veterans Hospital is the busiest in the country. It serves 40,000 veterans. My request is that an additional VA be created to service more veterans because there are veterans that need to get in for appointments sooner than they are able to for serious medical care. This affects me because I too attend that facility as a veteran.

PLEASE SIGN Petition Against Privatization and contact members of the MS State Legislature by calling the switchboard for both chambers at 1-601-359-3770. House receptionist 1-601-359-3376 or Senate receptionist 1-601-359-3267. Privatization hurts Mississippi workers and their families with loss of tax revenue, jobs and benefits, while costs and efficiency of services is not necessarily improved. Join with the Mississippi State Employees Union, MASE/CWA, as we fight against Privatization. We have tried this before and it does not work for Mississippi! Major companies such as Maximus and Lockheed Martin, that provide welfare services, are under review in several states for cost overruns and management practices according to the report, "Prospecting Among the Poor: Welfare Privatization" by the Applied Research Center of CA.
