Every few feet as I walk through the city, I see a homeless person. Statistically, the problem has become much worse--many more men, women and children have become homeless than ever before. I cannot stand idly by when solutions are within reach and people are living and dying in the streets in what is supposed to be a great city--Chicago.

The Nyack Village Board is now poised to pass a text amendment to the village's waterfront zoning which would allow a higher, denser, development on the vacant parcels at Gedney Street. The text amendment is being rushed through to allow the unfortunate TZVista development to be built by the developer who built the Clermont Condominiums. The current zoning, the result of Nyack's previous experiences with waterfront development, should be kept intact to protect the character of our village.

We initiated this petition because we cherish our homes, our families, our neighbors, our cultures, our health and safety and, last but not least, this beautiful semi-rural area, which we believe is in danger. It is rare to find a community where one still has access to walk along the hills and look out onto nature.

My daughters have been deprived of their fathers presence and interactions within their life with him as well as his financial support. The State of Michigan gave him life for defending his own life, at his home, from a professional boxer with intentions to do him great bodily harm or death.

CITY OF HOUSTON/HARRIS COUNTY REGISTERED VOTERS/RESIDENTS ONLY PLEASE: Second Ward has long been noted historically placed near Denver Harbor as one of the first Houston Chicano/Mexican American Barrios. Mexican immigrants settled here during the 1910s Mexican Revolution. The very first of these Second Ward settlements was called El Alacrán ("the scorpion") which used to be "Schrimpf's Field." A settlement house, a school, and 2 churches (Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church and the Mexican Methodist Episcopal Church) were built In the 1920s. Furthermore, Second Ward needs to be given a Historic Designation and Name Signs: Historic District of Second Ward East End. This Historic Designation is long overdue.

The thought of losing such a significant historical building anywhere is devastating. This building was built by one of the Georgetown/Silver Plume Historic Landmark District's highly respected doctors during the Victorian silver boom. This act goes against everything the National Historic Landmark designation stands for.

Along Acme Street (between Kroger and intersection of Acme and Phillips Street) there are no street lights which makes it very hard for pedestrians (those walking, riding bikes or using a wheelchair) to see at night. This cause for concern brings safety issues as well especially because of the animals (deer, fox, koons, coyotes, etc) and broken/uneven sidewalks. There are existing poles located along the road that could serve as a potential post for the street light, for example the post in front of Preston’s Beauty Academy or Riverview Credit Union. This road is NOW a state route which means more traffic, larger vehicles on the road and a higher speed limit. Recently, an elected official told me that in a meeting held by City officials, this “situation” was brought up. Many responses were and I quote, “Why should we change something for one person.” Of course I am upset because obviously my life or any other lives mean nothing to the City of Marietta. I am pretty sure that one life lost is too many so why play with mine or my daughters.

This petition is about showing the very large number of people who want, need and support the building of a self funded skate facility next to the dog park at RPV City Hall site that their city officials support their needs. Our youth need a legal place to skateboard. Skateboarding is even given as PE class credit in our PVUSD high schools. We have the support of ninety percent of the principals of PVPUSD. This petition is also meant offset the Stop the skatepark petition started by a non-resident of RPV. Social media email blast, Facebook and tweet support for our multi-use Skateable Plaza to be built now at NO cost to tax payers.

So many people have been killed in car accidents on Hwy 169 and county RD 11 near Milaca Minnesota and after many failed attempts to fix it there is still many car accidents .So if we could put an over pass here I believe this will stop . All the money spent with lowering the hill and putting caution lights up is not working. PEOPLE ARE BEING KILLED ON THIS DANGERS PART OF THE HIGH WAY.

We have so many working parents who need childcare support so that they can work. Many parents are low income families, if the childcare support is cut, these families will not be able to work because they will not be able to afford childcare cost.

Signing this petition will let city authorities know you have had ENUF and why you are signing this petition. All comments go directly to the recipients. City Hall wants to bring dense development into all our neighborhoods. No area of the city will be spared unless we stop them. 1. Dense development is coming to all our neighborhoods including the Marina, Cow Hollow, Richmond, Pacific Heights, Presidio Heights, Western Addition, and the Sunset. Described and illustrated by charts and maps seen here. http://www.sf-planning.org/AHBP 2. You can say goodbye to private yards, garages and other single-family home amenities in the future San Francisco. If you don’t have your own now, you probably have friends who do. 3. This program was designed without any neighborhood groups or residents’ knowledge or involvement. The city authorities plan to approve it very soon with as little public notice as possible. 4. No notice was given to citizens who are signed up to get such notice; and no property owners have been mailed any notices about this new plan. 5. Citizens became aware of the program when this article was posted on BizJournals.com August 11, 2015. 6. No full Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is planned for his program. The EIR will rely on the 2014 Housing Element EIR, seen as “legally defensible.” 7. Please see further details on this issue here: https://discoveryink.wordpress.com/sf-actions/a-better-plan/

Dallas Mavericks owner, Shark Tank judge, and tech billionaire Marc Cuban is in Washington this week to lobby against net neutrality -- the rule for Internet providers: all online content must be treated equally. Ending net neutrality would be great for big telecoms like Comcast and Verizon, but terrible for consumers -- and our democracy. Marc Cuban should know the importance of net neutrality better than anybody. His businesses thrive thanks to the ease of communication and accessibility that the Open Internet offers. And on Shark Tank, he positions himself as a mentor to young entrepreneurs. But now, he's shutting the door behind him and choosing corporate profits over his community. Instead, Cuban ought to preserve that openness for every American by speaking out for -- not against -- net neutrality.
