As a student studying Social Work, I have recently been made aware of the problems that Optum has created within the mental health field. I have witnessed first hand the additional "hoops" individuals, most often children, who qualify for Medicaid now have to jump through in order to receive mental health care, and many times services needed are denied. Along with not providing services to vulnerable populations in need, Optum is not reimbursing providers properly, which could lead to the deterioration of mental health care in Idaho. In order to help those in need and protect mental health care providers, Idaho must not sign another contract with Optum.

This petition exists to protect a book informing Penn State students about an issue affecting their state

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.

Our Government established Law Enforcement agencies to protect us and be our first line of defense inside our own borders. It's about time our Government makes this a top priority once again. Lawlessness cannot exist on our soil. We must take back our streets and respect the law and our Justice System for it is the very foundation of our safety here in the U.S. Law Enforcement personnel should be respected. It is not acceptable for individuals to target the very people who are protecting us as citizens. We have to take a stand on their behalf. I support Law Enforcement. Please sign this petition if you believe Blue Lives Matter. Please sign this petition if you want to stop the senseless attacks on all Law Enforcement personnel. Please sign this petition if you want to take back our streets.

Out of fairness to the American people, everyone should have a voice and be heard.

Warrining! Massive cover up. Because of the way he walks and what is on his police file when he was a kid. A proven cover up here. To start off George W Bush was set up along with the CIA and chefs on staff. Bush comes out on tv and said people from the public sent in Iraq war strategies can earn 2007. He also got told he had to release mass Iraq war winning strategies on tv, to try make it look like a coincidence. G Bush also released starting points after the surge Iraq....A satellite map showing a second small go of putting up check points., and much more. If you watch all the videos on "oblique weapons" it's easier to under stand then reading my poor grammar and so on. The videos work on my side and should work fine, unless there braking the law and my freedom of speech. Click on the link if it doesn't load instantly, and wait for 10 seconds. Before you think OMG, just remeber that had a good reason to try cover it up...I understand that. I am innocent and can prove that, and already did with the other people 2.....So its wrong. What i don't understand is them invading my privacy, making billions of dollars off of me, then leaving me on the doll, and trying to make me look nuts, when it all does add up. This can all be confirmed and proven 100%. My videos i have are full proof. When the media runs the story i can show a live AFL video. Its with 50,000 AFL sports fans and shows the date and time players on the ground and is full proof. I come up with the cement wall of sadr city, way before they did it. It was for basria first, then got told to use in at sadr city. I can prove how and why they changed tactic, to my video recordings strategy, Months & weeks after.....They did it. "The real reason for the cover up, with the videos and everything proving it all". Why do you think G Bush started releasing strategies on tv? First time in history. Bush wanted to make it look like a coincidence, as in 1,000s of people sent them in, but I set them all up. If they claim 1,000s of people sent them in, that means 1,000s of people waited until 3 years into the disaster, to send them in and all at once. They would of come in dribs and drabs and not at once... Proof. I'm not going to say them all, but if you watch all the videos, you will see what i claim and can confirm it\. Click on videos on my fb page and watch them all. I wanted the president of the united states on tv backing me up on tv....Civilians sent them in. I told him the only way he could make it look like a coincidence was by releasing them all for people 2 know, then saying that on tv. I knew not 1 person would come forward, and he is backing me up saying people like me from the public, did them. I knew i could prove that 1,000s of people didn't send them in to. I'm willing to take a polygraph test and can prove it anyway and made videos 2. I also made a video of the cement wall or Sadr city to prove it did the strategy before they did it. I have 4 videos showing the tv and then what's on the tv back in 2008. It showed my strategy, then what was on the news. It shows I had their strategies before they did it. They have just bribed a psychiatrist and he said it's a coincidence that the video is before they did it. Anyone could've come up with a basic strategy..... It is a coincidence, but before they did it lmao. I also have it taken live at an AFL game. My mate helped me and did a reading, flipping past pages show the 50k people at the game, the ins and out players score and 50k people around him. This is why they are just trying to say it's a coincidence, because I can prove they totally changed tactic to my strategy out of nowhere. Sadly the media is covering it up. They also stole my IED detector idea. G bush is on tv lying to the world saying it's a new x-ray that looks 15 meters ahead of the MRAPs, then 10 meters down. That is impossible and every scientist will back me up...Impossible 2 work like that. The new IED detector works by a laser killing microorganisms. Another laser is on the trucks and reads the % of microorganisms on the dirt roads. The company made $800 million dollars from that. That's if they didn't fake my stolen patent to the pentagon channel like i told them 2 do....2 make me sounds nuts and not add up if i said that lol. A bit late seen i set them up in so many ways. full proof video and just know my strategy. I believe They didn't but cold faked that last 1. That was just around the time everything collapsed, and i went to the media channel 9, that cover it up back in 08/09. I believe G Bush was 100% on tv claiming they made a new IED detector, because they changes the lar deliberately, to stop me clamming money from all my ideas. They stole the IED detector from my computer, then changed the lay making a date on clams. I believe bush was 100% on tv, clamming it was a x-ray laser...100% imposible i set them all up 2. The problem with faking some things, is that I have a full proof videos and set them up with 2 many things. They did change the law on a timeline to making clams....Why? So it will all be confirmed. I tried contacting the media and lawyers, but they bribed them all to not help me sue for using my idea and stealing 1 of them. They knew I could sue them within the 2 years, and I can prove G Bush was on tv 100% lying about an IED detector. I can prove how it works, and how they instantly changes the law after it. The media knows i am telling the truth, but are covering it up. They can verify my story and clips. If you watch the videos, it has then been proven. Now add how the pro can't explain how i had proof with a video recording "a coincidence" and so much more. He didn't even check it out, but new i had full proof and proved 2 him, that want he claims was incorrect....bribed and proven. He also new Bush said on tv people like me sent them in, but nope. I can 100% prove he was braided and explain it in my videos. They covered it up because my sister friend told me 2 lol...

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/

The nation’s doctor has issued a rare Call to Action calling on cities and states across the country to invest in ways to make walking and biking safer, more attractive, and easier to use. Less than half of Americans get enough daily physical activity to help ward off chronic health problems like obesity and cancer, but more “active transportation” options can be part of the solution. By issuing this challenge to cities and states, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy recognizes that not only is this something more people want, but it’s also something we need. Thank the Surgeon General for his leadership on keeping America healthy.

The news in recent weeks has been awash with tragic images of drowned children and desperate parents fleeing violence and the chaos of war. The one heartening thing in this global crisis is the phenomenon of people lining the road with food and water or filling train platforms to warmly greet arriving refugees. Germany has set an example by opening its program and refusing limits, in sharp contrast to the terrifying scenes we've seen of Hungarian police chasing families through fields. The United States, too, should be be a leader to say #refugeeswelcome and raise the limit on refugees it accepts each year. President Obama has said the Administration is reconsidering the current cap on the refugee program. Sign to tell the White House to raise it immediately.

•I am starting this petition because bully victims will not speak for themselves and are too scared to. •Many issues contribute to suicide risk, including depression, problems at home, and trauma history. •I'm seeing more and more bullying on adults affecting their reputation, business, motivation and encourages others to partake in bullying. •If we start penalizing bullies, we can cut down the number of bullies, suicidal victims, violence, people who partake on it in any way, may stop them from wanting to commit any future abuse and start teaching everyone by force how to stop being aggressive towards one another. • It's a BIGGER problem than what we think. Let's take ACTION!

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.
