I am asking your help to get the day care subsidies for poor families reinstated. These are federal funds that Illinois got and diverted to other uses. I am a director at the not-for-profit West Austin Development Center where 200 needy kids are about to be sent home, the teachers are working without the promise of pay and the last of the reserves are being used to pay the rent and keep the heat on. If we don't get funded by February 20, we have to close the doors.

I will abolish all property taxes and declare every Friday a paid day off for city employees.

BP has paid about $42 billion to address the Deepwater Horizon disaster since oil first started spilling in 2010. About 80% of those payments have qualified for tax deductions, effectively shifting the cost of BP’s “gross negligence” onto taxpayers. The practice of writing off settlement agreements is both legal and common—but it doesn’t have to be. Should BP be able to write off its payments made to address the Gulf Coast oil spill? Should Wall Street banks be allowed to deduct their settlements for mortgage abuses as business as usual? Tell the Justice Department no tax deductibility for BP in the upcoming Gulf spill settlement and to make other future settlements for corporate misconduct non-deductible as well. These write offs send the wrong message. They diminish the value of settlements as a deterrent to future misbehavior. They are also costly for the public because taxpayers must make up for the lost revenue through cuts to public programs, higher tax rates, or more federal debt. When settlements become write-offs, Americans pay both for the cost of corporate misbehavior, and secondly to subsidize the tax write-offs. It’s time to demand an end to this practice: no more write-offs for corporate wrongdoing.

I have lived in the Daphne area for 11 years and am excited to see the upcoming investments in our community parks and recreational spaces. I would love to see the City of Daphne dedicate a portion of these investments toward constructing 10 tennis courts for our youth. I took up tennis about 3 years ago after a long forgotten wish to play the sport which was unavailable to me when I was young. I would love to see the City of Daphne make tennis an available and thriving sport in our community.

The cost of infrastructure for renewable energy is at an all-time low and dropping steadily. We have a chance of meeting the planetary goal of cutting our greenhouse gases by 8 to 10% per year beginning NOW if we want a 50/50 chance of keeping below a rise in temperature of 2 degrees Celsius. What cleaner way to put rural New Mexicans back to work?

I lost two cousins yesterday in a tragic accident over that hill. I've almost been hit on that hill from people going over it on the wrong side of the road everyday. It's not safe. The road is Rose Lane in Laurel, MS 39443. They call it "Thrill Hill" so you can ramp it. It's nearly strait up and down and is extremely dangerous. Please help and let me know what I can do to help.

We of the Sugar Mountain Valley Ranches believe KAMO Electric Cooperative ,Inc. plans to take our land while not being environmentally responsible for the route chosen. We feel money dictates here. Ever since the Supreme Court ruled on the Kelo v. City of New London; Governor Mary Fallin & Representitive Markwayne Mullin or Senator Kim David have done nothing to support the farms and ranchers in their state or district. We also hear of others fighting this abuse. (Eminent Domain = Legal Thief)

This petition is to bring awareness to smoking at young ages.

Please join the National Nominating Committee in supporting Mrs. Amelia Boynton Robinson for a 2015 Presidential Medal of Freedom. Help us to encourage President Barack Obama to accept this moment in history and select her for this esteemed Award. On March 7, 1965, Amelia Boynton was beaten, knocked unconscious and left to die on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama in what has become known as “Bloody Sunday.” At 103, she is still a champion for freedom, justice and equality. Born on August 18, 1911, one of ten children of George and Anna Hicks Platts in Savannah, Georgia, young Amelia, at age 10, began her life-long quest for voting rights as a vehicle to equality. She assisted her mother in going door-to-door by horse and buggy in 1921 to encourage Blacks to vote. After graduating from Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute in 1927, she began a career with the United States Department of Agriculture in 1929. Later, she became reacquainted with fellow Tuskegee graduate, S.W. Boynton, whom she subsequently married. Together, they began helping to lay the groundwork in the 1930’s for the now famous Selma-to-Montgomery March, of which “Bloody Sunday” was a part, and which ultimately led to the passing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. A part of Amelia’s role in the movement is immortalized in the recent Oscar-nominated movie “Selma,” where she is portrayed by Lorraine Toussaint. Because of the pivotal work that she performed in securing the right to vote for Blacks in the United States, our nominee, a resident of Tuskegee, Alabama since 1976, is known as the “Matriarch of the Voting Rights Movement.” Please sign this petition and join our Committee in nominating Mrs. Amelia Boynton Robinson, and in urging President Barack Obama to name her as a recipient for a 2015 Presidential Medal of Freedom. Thank you for your support. National Nominating Committee Post Office Box 941 Tuskegee Institute, Alabama 36087 Dr. Elaine C. Harrington, Chair Atty. Lateefah Muhammad, Co-Chair

I am a teacher at an elementary school that serves as a voting site. I see voters throughout each voting day. Two things are consistently true about the voters; there aren't very many of them, and they are typically older, retired people who have time to vote. Even though voting may be important to younger and middle-aged people, having to go to a voting site can be difficult or impossible for the millions of people who have busy families and who work long hours to make ends meet. In this day and age, on-line voting is extremely important in order for there to be fair elections. It is time to change our 200-year old voting process.

Analog drugs are currently LEGAL in 49 states, ILLEGAL in Florida & 5 European countries. They are ILLEGAL federally, but most local LEOS & District Attorney Offices have no idea how to follow through with arrest or prosecution of analog offenders. Analogs KILL~ most importantly because there are no 12 panel tox screens for them, so when a patient presents to the ER after an OD~there is no way to test for the analog drug, wasting precious time in helping these patients.

Forest City, King Soopers and The City Council have not been effective in addressing this issue. No community outreach has been undertaken and the gas station remains in the plans.
