I have witnessed multiple teams in on-line gaming cheat in order to win tournments and large sums of money. Young people cannot win in these games anymore without the aid of "Cheats" which can be purchased on-line or created by online hackers. Very talented youth are not able to use their skill to win; instead they are manipulated into acquiring these "Cheats" to win. This causes a belief system that encourages youth to follow the path of cheating to get ahead in all areas of their lives. It is morally wrong and needs to be stopped by better regulation and monitoring of these platforms. We would like to start by banning Team Carbon and the cheaters on it.

There is no need for a 7th-12th grade charter school in the 40th ward. Charter schools were intended to supplement services in communities where the public schools were lacking or over crowded. The 40th ward schools are experiencing a period of positive growth through community involvement. Instrinsic is an experimental, unproven education system of online learning and we say NO to this corporate privatization of our public money. Rosehill Cemetery is an old and valued community treasure. We want this ubran sanctuary to stay in tact for the sake of all who live in the area, the wild life and migratory birds that have used this space for generations and to honor the burial place of our friends, family members and those honorably killed in military action.

I am totally against using derogatory terms used to describe a particular race. As an African-American woman, I am highly offended and I want it removed from all English dictionaries.

For years, the University of Pittsburgh Environmental Law Clinic has helped residents in Southwestern Pennsylvania get the legal representation they deserve when pollution threatens their health, their home and their community. But now, our legislators in Harrisburg want to prohibit any funding from the state to support this critical service. Whether it's taking on illegal dumping of fracking wastewater, helping citizen facing damages from coal mining, contaminated drinking water supplies or other pollution sources, the Pitt Law Clinic provides free legal help to people facing these and many other environmental problems. If the legislature does not believe that people of modest means are deserving of representation, it has abandoned its constituents to stand behind industry and the wealthy.

There have been too many assaults on African American Churches in the wake of the South Carolina shooting. Six Churches have been burned. The Department of Justice needs to investigate these hate crimes.

I've been saving this issue for a long time. If they do not change this now, when the confederate symbols are being seen for what they are, then when? The Maryland state song is not just a symbol, it actually spells out in explicit terms what all Marylanders should do. It is way out of date, and needs to go.

Alice Paul, (1885-1977) devoted her life to equal rights for women. She was jailed, beaten, force fed raw eggs, yet never wavered in her push for the right to vote for women, and the Equal Rights Amendment. Secretary Lew has stated that a woman will be on the $10. bill in celebration of the 19th Amendment. Let's honor Alice Paul by having her face shine for the 100 year anniversary of her leadership, of women getting the right to vote.

In light of this great win why should we have to put up with more discrimination. And in a place meant for us to feel safe and accepted.

We have been experiencing record low snow falls, drought conditions, record temperatures, wild fires and flooding in different parts of the state which continue to escalate in severity year by year. It is time to stop using annual funding and independent climate studies and guidelines to respond to these disasters. We must now create a long-range strategic plan with permanent funding for the construction of new infrastructure, conservation incentive programs and regulations that will allow us to deal with these issues proactively.

Because after 20 years of hell, I see news about everything I can care less about. And NOTHING ON 1 in 50 American boys smashing their heads into things! I WANT ANSWERS FOR MY tens of thousands of dollars i paid in taxes. And less protecting the real reasons, more science, money. ANSWERS. Yeah, I'm not buying what your selling. This should be the #1 concern in America with Cancer & heart disease. But, I't not.. Hmmmmmmm. WHY? And for the naysayers.......Look up epidemic. You will not find a genetic epidemic. Better diagnoses? You could pic my son out at Grand Central Station in 3 seconds. I dont think 1 in 50 kids just slipped by smashing their faces on walls in the 60's. It was 1 in 10,000 kids then I believe. Thats an EPEDEMIC.

This petition is to legalize marijuana for everyone, except for kids. It's safer than booze and I believe God created the plant for us to use for pain and so forth. Marijuana has no bad side effects.
