On August 22, 2015, at approximately 9:30 PM, my mother, Sherry Sahlberg, was struck by a car. She has staples on the right side of her head, 7 fractured ribs, and a fractured left leg. Too many people run right through the crosswalks at that intersection when pedestrians are trying to cross the road. They also do over the posted speed limit, which is 25 MPH. Speed bumps being set up would prevent any more accidents from happening, or fatalities. Especially when school children try to cross when coming home. Please sign this petition and get the word out.

Michigan's Department of Transportation has formulated plans to charge taxpayers more for orange barrels, but MDOT doesn't have a list or plan for the worst roads and bridges in Michigan and what is needed to fix them. The Legislature and Governor is ultimately responsible for this. No more excuses!

The residents who live near Thatcher and Bloomingdale will be the ones most unfairly affected by these restrictions. We are the ones who use this route the most. We are the ones who obey the speed limit. We are the ones who know that you can't go fast on Thatcher Ave. because of the deer which can jump out on the roadway at any time. We feel that what the village is trying to implement is ridiculous and unfair. These restrictions will only create more traffic, accidents, and problems on North Avenue. Moreover, we all know that there is more traffic on Thatcher and Bloomingdale due to Thatcher being closed at North Ave. This is logical. Once the roadway is reopened, people who cut through our village, will no longer have the need to do so. However, if we test this now, these restrictions will remain in place forever, inconveniencing our lives. Why not enforce the speed limit on Thatcher if that is the problem, and not restrict resident access instead.

This is crony-capitalism at its worst and everyone should know about it.

We, the undersigned citizens of North Little Rock, Arkansas, hereby petition the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department to reconsider the proposed closing of exit number 142 on US Interstate 30, also known as Curtis Sykes Drive, North Little Rock, Arkansas. Our concerns are as follows: 1. The proposed closing has not been carefully reviewed to include all relative feedback, as the latest plans were not initially presented to the community that has been directly affected. This appears as deceit on the part of the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department. 2. The closing of this exit will pose a great negative impact to the businesses in the area. These businesses utilize the entrance and exit onto Interstate 30 to procure and deliver their goods and services in a timely manner. The proposed change will impact their logistical efforts as to provide efficient service to their customers. a. There are three business parks in the area that also house several business entities. b. There are several dozen churches in the neighborhood adjoining these exits that are served by these entrance and exit ramps. 3. The closing will cause a larger congestive traffic area in the vicinity of Verizon Arena and Dickey Stephens Park during major events, as this entrance and exit are used by travelers as a secondary means of egress. 4. If the exit is moved to the proposed 19th street location, the students that are walking to local schools or participating in the local youth program on this corner are endangered by oncoming traffic traveling at a potentially high rate of speed. 5. CNG gas is the only Natural Gas refill station on Interstate 30 in the area, and will not be easily accessible by the agencies that utilize this service. 6. There are new street plans underway due to the completion of the North Little Rock High School. Due to these plans, closing this exit will cause a backup and delay in traffic on Main Street, which will make it more difficult to access the impacted areas. 7. The proposed closing reflects an injustice to the neighborhoods immediately surrounding and accessible by the entrance and exit, thereby isolating them and causing inaccessibility to the interstate and inconvenience to residents. 8. Residents of the Lakewood neighborhood will face additional traffic congestion while attempting to go into and from downtown North Little Rock, downtown Little Rock, and Interstate 40. 9. Curtis Sykes Drive is a major thoroughfare that leads to North Hills Blvd. 19th Street is a smaller, more congested area abutted by the housing projects. 10. The Curtis Sykes Drive exit is of historical significance to the residents of North Little Rock. Curtis Sykes was a community leader who fought to provide equal access to all the populace of the state and the proposed closing of the entrance and exits at this location casts a negative light on the efforts of the citizens to herald his accomplishments. We hereby affix our signatures, along with our addresses, in opposition to the closing of the entrance and exit ramps leading to Interstate 30 from Curtis Sykes Drive

The Child Nutrition Act was originally passed in 2010 and will expire on September 30th if not reauthorized by Congress. The act ensures funding for critical programs like WIC, summer meals for kids, reduced price and free lunch and breakfast programs at schools, and more. Too many working moms are struggling to put food on the table for their kids. In fact, in 2013, 15.8 million children in the United States lived in a food insecure household. It's a huge weight off our shoulders if we know our kids will have access to healthy snacks and meals while we are at work. We need to improve childhood nutrition, reduce hunger, and help working families ensure that their children get the healthy food they need. Urge your Members of Congress to prioritize child nutrition to make sure all kids have a chance to thrive.

The Petition is to expand Social Security. This petition will give momentum to a national conversation that will bust the myths surrounding Social Security promulgated by the Koch Brothers Foundation that morphed into the CATO Institute. I was inspired after reading Social Security Works All Generations Plan because it impacts the entire Obama Coalition & is a dynamite GOTV plan.

Years of asking for either speeds bumps or traffic lights have not come to fruition and have had the Fire Department oppose both. We recently had a fatality and there have been numerous accidents due to the high speed going past this elementary and pre-school location. The Police Commissioner agrees with the all-way stops signs along with our Senator, Delegate and City Council Representative.

On May 5 the Solebury Board of Supervisors pledged to not proceed with the funding of a new public works building if bids exceeded the $2.7 million authorized. Yet a narrow majority of the supervisors voted to proceed despite a bid that is already $122,000 over budget for a loosely defined project that is reduced in scale and neglects hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional costs that Solebury taxpayers will be forced to pay for. This is not financially responsible nor is it truthful.

As a former 9-1-1 Dispatcher, I know the importance of subscriber information. We need to urge the FCC to improve and assist our community and local 9-1-1 Centers by requiring companies to obtain subscriber information at the time of a phone purchase. This helps 9-1-1 know where the caller lives, and they can then send help to that location if they have nothing else to work on.

Being wrongfully targeted by CPS in more ways than one. And it's made a huge impact on mine an my children's lives. And I want to be heard and seen for what's real!

I am a 59 year old grandmother with a rare tumor in my heart. I am low income, but can't get Medicaid or insurance in Texas. I can't even get SSI disability because I have very few medical records. I will die if it isn't removed.
