This is a personal appeal to the conscience of our community to put yourselves in the place of the thousands of men, women, even children in our community who every night go to sleep, unlike you or me, without a place to call their own, and therefore are forced to break the law in order to sleep.

I am starting this petition because I am personally concerned about the removal of a wooded buffer in Huntingtown, MD.

If you have ever supported or gotten support from your local nonprofit, sign this petition in support of ending the current budget impasse. Arts, social services, and community service organizations are in an incredibly vulnerable position while this continues.

To prevent big city-style development from further encroaching on the Western Addition.

I am scared that one of my son's friends may get killed crossing on Foothill Blvd. trying to get to and from school. Or one of the many homeless crossing there may get hit or killed. I have seen too many cars racing down this stretch of highway. It must STOP!!!

This petition is to build safe guards for the MBTA drivers who are visible to the public day-to-day. The MBTA cannot expect drivers to collect fares or throw people off the bus for lack thereof and not expect issues like the one that arose with the veteran driver having a huge cup of liquid thrown in her face for doing her job. The MBTA needs a better safe guard for their employees or else not expect the drivers to collect the fare. The public is very hard to deal with and drivers get no mercy at all. If no safe guards are going to be put in place, then a transit police officer should be assigned to each bus for the employee’s safety when dealing with unruly and violent passengers.

This petition has been created for the purpose of uniting communities in Memphis through working together to clean up and learning how to assist our neighbors. With help from reliable resources, I would like to assist the elderly and single mothers with free or reduced lawn services using youths in the communities. Help blight areas that have been cited and help people who physically or financially need assistance with clean up services.

On September 9th and September 22nd, City Council will be meeting to discuss the 2015-2016 budget, including a proposed 3% increase to our already high water bills. There are numerous issues that need be addressed before an increase is even considered, including the inconsistent billing cycles, old meters, meters not being read every month, transparency, staff issues, and policies in place that are blatantly unfair.

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.
