Homeless Veterans I am employed as a Veteran's advocate through my State. In the 11+ years I've been there, I've sought programs for many veterans in need. I spent a lot of time calling to look for resources available and for various reasons no one can help 99% of the time.

I have been personally affected by this issue because I am a disabled woman who relies on my local paratransit service SunDial for my job, medical appointments, and social activities. Due to low ridership and limited funding, Sunline Transit Agency, the company that operates SunDial, has had to do away with and reroute lines to emulate the regular Sunline lines for fixed routes. This greatly affects the local disabled population in the Coachella Valley. There is a 90-day grace period from January 7th, 2018 to April 7th, 2018 for my local disabled community to find alternative modes of transportation when SunDial is not in operation, A rainy day fund would prevent this from happening in the future.

This petition was started in December 2017 at a Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) bus garage after many of our coworkers were unjustly fired. Some of our allies helped to create this video of two transit workers who were assaulted at work – then fired by the transit agency! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCRQHbQjvJM&feature=share We started with about 100 hand-written signatures from transit workers at this one garage and are using this online petition to ask workers from other workplaces and allies to sign with us. If you support the hard work transit workers do for society, please join us by signing this petition and forwarding the link to others to sign too.

Use money donated to Unidos por Puerto Rico to help people who lost their homes to Hurricane Maria, and not to fix parks. The proposal from Beatriz Roselló and her “Office of the First Lady”, does not represent the intentions of the millions of people who donated money. Money should be used to build/rebuild homes of those in need.

US Citizens deserve basic services like clean drinking water.

Paul Ryan and Congress want to cut Social Security & Medicare in 2018.

In an effort to protect the dignity of the most vulnerable in Virginia and promote the common good, you are being asked to support the legislative priorities of Social Action Linking Together (SALT). SALT'S goals are to end school lunch shaming of poor children, ensure that correctional facilities that have video visitation services do not abolish or decrease the available in-person visits, limit and end solitary confinement (which is considered to be torture by many religious leaders and healthcare professionals), provide educational opportunities that will help break the cycle of poverty, enable children in needy families to be cared for in their own home or the homes of relatives, end the lifetime ban on Food Stamps (SNAP) and TANF welfare benefits for ex-offenders convicted of felony drug crimes, oppose funding protocols (e.g., Block Grants) that eventually reduce funding for human services and Medicaid, and strengthen kinship guardian care for impoverished children.

Rt 739 is typically left in very unsafe and deadly conditions before, during, and after winter weather; up to and including blizzards, snow, snow showers, sleet, and freezing rain. The entirety of the thoroughfare is left completely untreated, and often times the only tracks cleared through the snow/slush are made only by the citizens traveling the roads. This results in having to inch along an icy, curvy route at 10 MPH, tripling the travel time on the road. This not only puts many people in danger but also causes motor vehicle accidents that may have otherwise been avoided. That, in turn, causes emergency personnel to be overrun with incidents and eventually higher taxes and costs to the citizens. We implore PennDOT to consider this and give this very hazardous issue some much-needed attention.

I grew up in the historic home at 315 East Glen Avenue, which was built in the early 1830s and shares many original architectural and decorative details with the Hermitage and Hohokus Inn (woodwork, moldings, floors, banisters, windows etc.) It has a fascinating history with residents including the actor Edwin Boothe, and was reputed to have been a part of the Underground Railroad. A woman named Miss Colie lived there during the Depression who was supposed to distribute flour and sugar as a part of the WPA program, but she ended up committing suicide in the garage when she was found to have stolen the supplies. Aside from the beauty, history and trees/landscaping that would be lost forever with the destruction of this home, the variances requested create issues for the town and neighborhood including: - non-conformance of buildable and usable square footage to other homes in the area - water collection, drainage and flood prevention given the reduction of trees and grass due to additional paving proposed and requirements for running of utility lines - access and safety of additional cars from secondary home - non-conformance of variances for a home to be set back and sideways - non-conformance to expand pathway to 20 ft, (currently no examples in town) Please join us in opposing the variances that would allow this home to be destroyed and help us to save this historic home for future generations to enjoy as a part of the varied architectural and historic tapestry that make up our community! Thank you for your support!!

Surrounding counties such as Suwannee County, Madison County, and Leon County all have skate parks. We should build a skate park for our youth so that they have a safe environment to skate.

Ajat pai made a simple mistake. Lets help him fix it.

These programs are vital to senior citizens and are targets for budget cuts in the future. Congress needs to protect and preserve these programs.
