I have severe depression and anxiety, and had been able to handle the symptoms of these until about five years ago, after a severely traumatic event happened. Now, I cannot work, but the State of Tennessee believes that, just because my hands still function, that I am not disabled. However, disability determination aside, I need to be able to eat, and contribute to my household's income, even if it is just by food stamps. Also, a good friend of mine recently had their SNAP taken away because they cannot get any more than ten hours a week at their job. They are looking for another job, but many places do not offer 20-40 hour work weeks. They are working, but apparently, not enough to suit the State's standards. People, in general, need to be able to eat, even if they do not have a job or a child, and removing food stamps from unemployed adults will leave them starving, which no one deserves.

I am starting this petition because of the recent decision by the FCC to end Net Neutrality guidelines that keep the internet open and not subject it to fast or slow lanes. In the wake of the decision made by Ajit Pai it has led to the dismantling of the open and free internet and it should be in the best interest of the public to institute its own public broad brand with Net Neutrality guidelines enshrined within the proposal.

The Bryans Road Safeway is planning to close May, 2018, leaving us with one grocery store for healthy food. But I, like you, do not want to drive 30 minutes plus to the one grocer left in town, however long it may remain...

We want to fight against ISP providers who will be able to price gouge and throttle internet speeds when the new FCC rules are in place.

This petition is being started due to my 16 year experience of driving on these roads. There have been numerous traffic accidents (some fatal) due to the bumper to bumper traffic. This intersection is a focal point for traffic from the Columbia, Fort Meade and Baltimore areas, and all traffic is bottled necked to a four lane highway (2 lanes each direction).

The goal of traffic calming is to improve neighborhood livability by minimizing the impact of traffic in Tropic Palms, to create a safe neighborhood street system which will adequately accommodate neighborhood traffic, allow adequate access for emergency services and promote safe and pleasant conditions for residents.

The Air Force says F-35 basing will harm children and elderly in thousands of families and will pose high crash danger. The livability of thousands of affordable homes is at risk. The Air Force says any number of alternatives is available for Burlington. Low-noise-level equipment with a proven high safety record will be very good for Burlington and for surrounding cities and towns. The resolution respects the will of the voters. I urge you to join the council in respecting the will of the voters.

Congressional staffers use the DC metro system to get to work, so they see the same ads as everyone else. Right now, as Congress is debating whether to cut SNAP, the DC government is running an ad campaign targeting food stamp fraud. The DC government's advertisements could have nationwide effects by swaying congressional staffers to think SNAP fraud is a bigger problem than it actually is.

As residents/homeowners/tenants/workers/parents of school children from the Lettered Streets area, we oppose the proposed use of 509 Girard for a low barrier homeless shelter. The city should find a more suitable location for these efforts.

The Balfour Parkway will cost taxpayers $154 million dollars and result in 220-440 homes being destroyed or negatively impacted by a five mile expressway that will wind its way through existing subdivisions, apple farms, and neighborhoods. It is not needed to facilitate traffic, it will not eliminate traffic issues on Four Seasons Boulevard and it will destroy the small town feel of Henderson County forever and should not be allowed to proceed!

The state’s CalWORKs program provides basic needs cash aid to low-income families with children to alleviate the impact of poverty on children and help parents overcome barriers to employment. It serves 1.1 million people – 80 percent of them children. But the current maximum grant for a family of three is only 41 percent of the federal poverty level and the average grant for a family of three is only 33 percent of the federal poverty level. We can reduce the number of children living in deep poverty and show that Californians care about all our children by setting a floor for CalWORKs grants at 50 percent of the federal poverty level. Please sign this petition to tell your legislators that you want them to pass a state budget this year that adequately funds CalWORKs grants at a level that ensures no child in a CalWORKs family has to live in deep poverty. Let them know that as a constituent, you ask for their support of SB 982, a bill by Sen. Holly Mitchell, which will set a floor for CalWORKs grants at 50 percent of the federal poverty line.

On April 4th the TDPUD board will vote on whether to enter into an agreement to obtain power from the Small Modular Reactor (nuclear) project known as the Carbon Free Power Project (CFPP). The end result of this project will be that TDPUD will be a part owner and contracted customer of a nuclear power plant that will be constructed outside of Idaho Falls in 2023. There is no effective method of storing spent nuclear waste. The waste generation and non-renewable nature of this project is in direct contrast with the Town of Truckee 100% Renewable Resolution, which calls for 100% renewable electricity, town-wide, by 2030.
