The Illinois Lottery has said that anyone who has won $600 or more won’t be paid until the state budget is passed. Illinois issued a statement saying that its check writing account is empty and it can’t be replenished right now. Please sign this petition calling on Illinois to adopt a budget or end the sale of its Lottery sales.

To raise cultural, economic and political consciousness to Oakland CA.

I am starting this position because the people of Detroit are being robbed of their constitutional rights as the state takes them over.

Currently, 19 states have passed laws or enacted policy to provide a fair chance at employment for formerly incarcerated job seekers. The President has said he wants to implement federal-level reform in the criminal justice system during his last days in office. Hearing from you can help move him to action.

Bill Cosby has been accused of sexual assault by dozens of women. He has admitted under oath to obtaining drugs with the purpose of having sex with women. Our intention is not to deface the mural, but to show that women are respected in our nation's capital by replacing it with one that celebrates women and their accomplishments.

Gun Control

The petition was created so that people with account disputes see it and unban our comrade. We also have lost a wonderful member of the operations.

Since its inception in 2008, Wisconsin's non-partisan Government Accountability Board (GAB) has done the job it was designed to do: maintain both the integrity of our state government and our elections. Yet, despite this overwhelming support, Wisconsin legislative majority leaders intend to "overhaul the GAB" in ways that include installing partisan appointees, and removing independent funding for investigations into political corruption.

I strongly believe that there is no place for hate and racism is politics. Shiv Sena has been openly spreading Hate Speech and violence against the Indian Muslims and the Pakistani citizens who are visiting India.

I do not have cable or TV; I rely on online and radio. There is way too much money in politics; buying ads should not be the only way to get someone's message out during campaigns. Open up the air waves.

We need supporters to contact the City Council including City Councilman Brian E. Lewis and Jim Hosfelt on the committee. They are listening right now carefully. They are terrific but the committee needs to hear what the public wants. You can message them your support or leave a message for all of Council at 736-7006. Say you support the Youth New Year's plan in the Dover Post. The time has come for us to reunite as a community. This is one strategy put forth by the Youth Advisory Council. It is not just a big party, but a way of engaging people with positive local groups that will expose people to drug and alcohol free activities all year long. We need to change the paradigm of young people and show them that family friendly events beat loser events which risk one getting into trouble. By relying on local people and activities, we not only keep costs low but provide a positive peer network that will engage people all year long. What a way to start the year, families being together, friends together in a positive way that will bring business downtown. We cannot rebuild our sense of community by accident. It takes a comprehensive strategy. The youth are an important part of it.
