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!

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow may be the best interviewer currently in Political Media and she has earned the right to host a Presidential Debate.

Ron is someone we love and miss very much. He has a lot to offer, and would like to offer it while he is still able to. He has a promising future, and we would like to see him live it and make future memories with us while he still can. He has been locked away from us all for 40 years! Please sign this petition and help us get this much loved and needed man home to us. Thank you and God Bless!

Our son is a very good person who while on drugs committed this crime, and has paid for it. We stand by him and give him the moral support he needs to stay strong and the wherewithal to do better and prove he is a changed man.

I am an animal advocate in Atlanta. I rescue, foster and fundraise for animals throughout the state, in addition to volunteering at local shelters. The facilities are overcrowded, poorly managed and regulated, and something needs to change! We need ordinances in place to protect and care for these animals. Other large cities have already taken action, Georgia needs to step up and do the right thing.

Speaking with my beloved D.C. natives; all races, colors and creeds: we love our D.C. landmarks, so let's save them. In particular, please, help us save the D.C. Wharf.

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.

The top 10 reasons we oppose the Sedona Verde Valley Red Rock National Monument designation: 1. National monument designations attract additional visitors and Sedona is already saturated with more visitors than roads can handle, especially highway #179 and Oak Creek Canyon. 2. Increased use of roads, sewer, lack of parking, and traffic in residential neighborhoods will mean more maintenance costs. The federal government is not going to help out with these kinds of expenses. They are on private land. 3. This is not a legitimate public process and ‘Keep Sedona Beautiful’ has no authority to run a public process on management of federal lands. 4. KSB is attempting to fast track their proclamation past the Verde Valley/Sedona Community delivering it directly to the President’s desk hoping it will be included in the end-of-term New Monuments. 5. The public does not have enough information to make an informed decision. Our community needs more than a few short weeks to study the unintended consequences. 6. Within the proposed boundaries all cities and towns will become private inholdings. What are the consequences to over 16,000 residents? 7. What will be the impact to the 80,000 residents of the Sedona/Verde Valley? The NM designation could cause property values to rise and bring added costs which may push families out of the area. 8. Federal reserved water rights (obtained by designating NM) are immune from state water laws. In order to retain our water rights, that has to be put into the management plan, which we know takes about three years and several thousand dollars to implement. Some of the head waters that form the Oak Creek, Beaver Creek, and Verde River are all on this monument land. 9. Competing with all other National Monuments for possible available funds and grants is not a sound plan. That is the money source KSB is depending on to bring in the revenue that gated entrances generally do for National Monuments. The last few National Monuments have not received any funding. 10. The proposed monument will control EVERY access point IN and OUT of Sedona.

I am starting this petition because, contrary to popular belief, Boston is not comprised solely of a student population. There are families, friends, neighbors, and countless other individual roles that account for the building of a community to be on solid ground. In addition, while over the years we have seen an increase in students that have chosen to stay. Those students shackled to the chains of student loan debt have found it increasingly difficult to remain in one place for one reason; the rent continues to rise and our pay does not. We love the city of Boston, and now we ask that the city love us back and pass legislation that places a cap on the percentage that a landlord can legally raise their rent.

Learning that Whole Foods used prison labor for its products has been a major turn off for my family and friends. Consumers are continuously reminded of institutionalized greed in corporate America. We want Whole Foods to be a fair and responsible enterprise, for them to give back!! Ex-felons struggle to find jobs when released, by hiring these people, Whole Foods can start making a wrong, right!

I want justice to be served and all parties involved to be investigated so that this doesn't happen again.
