Recently one of our students was struck by a vehicle while crossing at the intersection of Wadsworth and Century. This incident has led us to work on ways to prevent such a thing from happening to anyone else. To increase traffic safety around our school we're urging you to support us by signing this petition. We want to make sure that everyone in the community, especially our children, are as safe as can be. Thank you for your support and cooperation.

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.

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.

H.R. 630 would recalculate and restore retirement annuity obligations of the United States Postal Service, eliminate the requirement that the United States Postal Service pre-fund the Postal Service Retiree Health Benefits Fund, place restrictions on the closure of postal facilities, create incentives for the innovation for the United States Postal Service, to maintain levels of postal service

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.

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.

We oppose The City of Elkhart Sewer Compact Agreeemnt that uses Assessed Property Value in determining the fee businesses outside the city limits must pay for sewer service the City of Elkhart provides. Businesses outside the city limits should NOT be required to pay a fee that is more than three (3) times the actual sewer fee the business would pay if they resided inside the city limits.

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!
