• Gov. Cuomo: REDIRECT finances from Goat Island
    Millions of tourists visit the state park at Niagara Falls, NY every year. The city of Niagara Falls, NY is poverty-stricken and rampant with heroin and crime. NYS plans to spend millions to redevelop the state park; these funds would be better utilized in the city itself, where the quality of life for many Niagarians is suffering. Tell NYS to use the money to fix the blight downtown, which will drive tourists up into the city and help our local economy.

    Donald Trump plans to build a wall that estimates project will cost anywhere from $15 billion to $25 billion and higher. Tell Trump and Congress that you want your tax dollars spent on re-building our country's infrastructure: our roads, bridges, and highways. Rebuilding our country's infrastructure should be their main focus. That's where our tax dollars should go: to improving our country and our every day lives.

  • Petition for DeRidder Internet
    Petition for DeRidder Internet: Based on average prices, satellite internet is 72.5 Percent more costly than land based services, and only half as reliable. Huge portions of the DeRidder population resides outside of serviceable areas as of 1/18/17 with many roads having old lines, that are outdated. Companies who own the rights to these lines refuse service to residents of which the lines lay on or near their properties. For example, AT&T owns lines down SR 394 but say the lines are old, and they don't plan to replace them. Sugartown has quality high speed internet available throughout portions of their immediate area, but DeRidder doesn't offer service just 4 short miles from our super Walmart. This is a community issue, as many residents are forced into purchasing the more expensive and less reliable satellite internet in order to be connected to our quickly advancing world. Children in public schools of the DeRidder area are expected to have internet access for continuing education at home, as well as our large population of home schooled children. College students also need access to quality internet to pursue studies. These young residents are the future of our city, and without having access to the tools they need in this year of 2017 it could be detrimental to their studies. These are but a few examples of why this is so important. Change needs to happen, we need everyone's help. At this moment we have hundreds involved in petitioning for such change, and the numbers keep growing. Companies targeted in the petition include: Suddenlink, Cameron Communications, and AT&T. Neighborhoods of petitioners include but are not limited to within the sub streets thereof: SR394, HWY 26, Hwy 112, Granberry Rd., Ball Rd., HWY 190, Yankee Ridge Estates Subdivision ( some have access, many don't ).

  • Thanks for giving us back half of our shore access, but we want all of it.
    Residents of Island County have enjoyed this Greenbank shoreline at the end of Wonn Road for many years. Hundreds of individuals have petitioned the commissioners starting 8 years ago, including 1,240 signatures in Jan 2016. Public response at the hearing a year ago made clear the express will of the general citizenry. Beginning with the building of this wall, residents have watched one property owner block access to the beach for thousands of people who have walked out Wonn Road to the low tidelines for years, based on a vague and bogus deed. Public safety neccessitates access to the water between Freeland and Coupeville. Settling in a compromise with this owner sends a signal to other owners that public lands and interests are up for grabs. Last chance to make your comments known this Tuesday January 17, 10:00 A.M., in the Courthouse Annex Building, Room #B102, at 1 NE 6th Street in Coupeville, Washington. Email your commissioners; they need to hear from you!

  • Mothers Justice Movement: Stop Nevada Judges from Forcing Defenseless Children to be Harmed by Ab...
    We are petitioning for a statewide investigation of family court practices in an effort to stop Nevada judges from harming innocent defenseless children. Nevada residents are being bled of our most valuable resource, the innocence of a child, and because of which, we are slowly losing our grip on the future of America. Since 1998, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has continued a lengthy investigation into adverse childhood experiences (ACE). ACE is one of the largest medical investigations ever conducted to assess associations between childhood maltreatment and later-life health and well-being. They found that a child’s exposure to certain traumas, including domestic violence, child sexual abuse, or being separated from their primary caregiving parent, resulted in more illnesses and injuries to children in childhood through adulthood, i.e., social-emotional and cognitive impairment; adoption of health-risk behaviors; disease, disability and social problems; and premature death. This study demonstrates how a child’s exposure to these elements is a public health issue. Yet every year, an estimated 58,000 children are court-ordered into custody or unsupervised visitation with a reported abuser. Additionally, current research estimates that false allegations of abuse happen less than 2% of the time, yet 85% of those children are court-ordered into shared or sole custody with the parent that is abusing them. Inadequately trained professionals tend to believe the myth that mothers frequently make false allegations, contrary to current research. Therefore, in thinking they have the needed expertise, family court professionals don't listen to domestic violence experts or child abuse evidence and they don't include current scientific research. Mothers are being forced into bankruptcy and poverty trying to protect their children, and their children are being irreparably harmed. We now have the medical research through the CDC to declare domestic violence, child abuse, and being separated from a primary attachment parent a public health issue. And the U.S. Department of Justice's Saunders report states that the standard and required domestic violence training received by judges, lawyers, and evaluators does not adequately prepare them to handle abuse cases. We are petitioning for a statewide investigation of family court practices in an effort to stop Nevada judges from harming innocent defenseless children. We would like to see you, our leaders, echo your constituents concerns and ensure that the health and safety of a child will come first in divorce and custody litigation. We thank you in advance for your support.

  • Bagel the Beagle Memorial
    Bagel has become a cultural icon in Richmond and we propose a monument of Bagel to be erected on Monument Ave in his honor and for all the lost dogs of Richmond. Monument Ave has been the site of controversy with all the Confederate statues and the Bagel statue would serve as a less controversial, unifying symbol for Richmonders.
