A story was done by 60 minutes exposing the illegal importation and false labeling of flooring products sold by Lumber Liquidators. I want a full investigation done on our local branch. Not only was this story not picked up locally but once the story broke on 60min the local branch put these dangerous materials on sale to try and get rid of the evidence. Hundreds of homes in Colorado now have flooring installed with dangerous levels of chemical fumes emitting from them. This is a violation of state and federal law but because they are a major campaign contributor and large advertising customer of local media stations no one has done anything and now hundreds of people are at risk. These fumes have been proven to cause many illness in children, pets, and elderly adults. The research has already been done and proven by 60 minutes this is not an allegation, it is a fact. Lumber Liquidators must be held accountable for their actions.

This petition is dedicated to the segregated and discriminated populations of Alabama that are very real today.

The USCG officer on June 10th, 2010 stormed my house and threatened my family and my son 4 years old with assault guns.....without any warrant or notification from the court. I COULD BE ASSASSINATED BY THEM.

During an all-important presidential election year when turnout is at its heaviest, it is absolutely critical that all Ohio voters receive an absentee ballot application. In 2012, the first time that all voters received an absentee ballot application, approximately one-third of all statewide votes cast their ballots prior to Election Day, primarily by mail. Failure to provide for the money for this mailing is particularly troubling because the legislature prohibited the Secretary of State and local boards of elections from sending out unsolicited absentee applications with passage of SB 205 in 2014. The legislature designated itself as the sole gatekeeper for deciding whether all voters will receive absentee ballots applications in any given year.

Legislators will need to act now and support AB 1112 to save our parent education and family English literacy programs. Parenting and Family English Literacy classes that helped thousands of parents learn to raise their children better and get basic English skills will be closed as school districts implement AB 86, which will end their funding. AB 1112 will address this concern by including Parenting and Family English Literacy programs within the narrowed focus of the adult and continuing education programs that will receive dedicated funding through AB 86. The Local Control Funding Formula [LCFF] can not provide a reliable source of funding to keep these programs operating, so the Parent education and Family Literacy classes will disappear next year unless legislators act now to enact AB 1112 or similar legislation to protect these valuable and effective programs.

You give religions more than $82.5 billion a year, Where does all this money go?Recently, First Baptist Church in Dallas unveiled plans for a 130 million dollar capital campaign for their new worship center which would include the whole enchilada: a 3,000 seat worship center, 6 floor education building, glass concourse, parking garage, sky bridge, the preservation of their current historic building, a fountain plaza, two side by side gymnasiums, an outdoor patio, and the all important oval pool with a stone water tower topped with a cross.Joel Osteen Makes Millions off Prosperity Gospel: Does Little for the Poor.Here is a website that shows what these people make and not paying income tax what a joke this is. Relgion is Big Business and should be treated as such, Even the Catholic Church owns American Express,,Since they are getting so involved with politics that should start paying taxes like anyone else,http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Wolves/greedy.htm Trinity Church, in Manhattan, is a rare redoubt of influence. Thanks to Queen Anne's 215-acre donation in 1705, Trinity is one of Manhattan's largest landholders. The church has sold some of the land and parlayed into a $2 billion portfolio, making it an exceptionally wealthy parish.It even owns a great share in Walmart. Why should they not be taxed?

We must stop the blockade. Medicaid expansion is the right thing to do.

My family member became autistic after a round of vaccines. I have since done research and found many more stories like ours and some with much worse outcomes. It is especially important now that legislation is being pushed to mandate vaccines. If not the makers of the vaccines, and not the healthcare professionals that administer them, than who will pay to care for these families? What motivation do drug companies have to guarantee their safety if they are not legally liable?

William Levea has currently served five and one half years of his minimum six year sentence for the brutal felony conviction of vehicular homicide and driving while intoxicated, killing Christopher Spack on November 20, 2009. He is now unconscionably eligible for parole this year, November 20, 2015, a mere six years to the day after which he recklessly and purposefully destroyed a man's life, body, and family. Levea's blood alcohol content was twice the legal limit but was not the sole cause of the horrific crash that killed Chris and injured countless others, both physically that night and emotionally for the past six years. Levea was sentenced to 6-18 years in prison and is now eligible for parole (11/2015). Many people stood by us last year and signed our petition when he requested an early medical parole. It was claimed that he was ill and would die within 3-6 months. He is still alive. To this day William Levea has never shown remorse to Chris' family or the others that he injured despite having many opportunities. The night he killed Chris, he laughed after seeing that he had killed a man and then attempted to leave the scene. Regardless of age and/or health this is not a man that should be allowed back into society. On behalf of Chris and all of the victims, we are asking that you sign this petition if you believe William Levea should remain in prison and not be granted parole. Please help us keep William Levea in prison for his full term.

Legislation has just been introduced in California that will save the lives of young children. AB-282 will stop the sale of corded window coverings in California. No family should have to endure the loss we’ve suffered. Please, stop the sale of these corded blinds.

Idaho families are at risk of losing child support funding after conservatives in the Legislature killed a measure that would have brought the state into compliance with federal rules. Gov. Otter and ID lawmakers must pass the bill before it's too late.

The Boundary Waters Canoe Area wilderness is the most popular Wilderness area in America. At 1.1 million acres in size, it is the largest wilderness area east of the Rockies and north of the Everglades. The Boundary Waters offers 1,200 miles of canoe and kayak routes, 237.5 miles of overnight hiking trails and 2,000 designated campsites, and is home to iconic wildlife including lynx, wolves, moose and loons. The Boundary Waters is now jeopardized by recent proposals to bring sulfide-ore copper mining – a risky type of mining that has never before been permitted in Minnesota – to places where pollution will drain into the Wilderness itself. Byproducts of sulfide-ore copper mining include hazardous pollutants such as sulfuric acid and heavy metals, which could permanently ruin the pristine water and unspoiled forests of this place. Pollution from these mines would flow right into the Boundary Waters as well as impact Voyageurs National Park. These beloved national treasures offer unparalleled outdoor experiences to millions of people, and help drive the economy of Northeastern Minnesota, where tourism supports 18,000 jobs and brings $850 million in sales annually to the region. Please make preserving these pristine waters and unspoiled forests, and the sustainable regional economy, a priority. Toxic mining pollution would damage the rivers and lakes that flow into the Boundary Waters and Voyageurs National Park. The National Park and Wilderness Waters Protection Act safeguards America’s most popular Wilderness and Minnesota’s beloved National Park by helping prevent sulfide-ore copper mining in the Rainy River Drainage Basin. The bill emphasizes the Boundary Waters and Voyageurs National Park as national treasures, and that their protection is the responsibility of the entire country. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service. This is the time to act to protect Minnesota’s National Park. Last year marked the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act, which established the Boundary Waters as a federally designated Wilderness area. This bill takes an historic step in completing efforts to permanently protect the Boundary Waters Canoe Area from sulfide-ore copper mining. The National Park and Wilderness Waters Protection Act is extremely important to preserving these two national treasures. We applaud Congresswoman Betty McCollum for taking bold action to ensure their protection. And we are asking you to ask your Representative and President Obama to join Rep. McCollum in preserving the Boundary Waters Canoe Area and Voyageurs National Park.
