I am sick and tired of what Globalization has done to America. Hello, we could send a man on the moon, but we can't recycle all of the junk we are buying from China, Vietnam, Pakistan, etc. wherever slave labor is available. Where everything we stand for is bought off in the name of consumerism. The next, the better, the whatever, which is all being done off shores. It is laughable that Gates, Zuckerman, all the connectors to whatever, your football crap, it goes on, are off shores and don't pay taxes to the US and rig it however, is worth it to them. Problem is, they all support Privatized Prisons...trades as (CXW)-CCA. I say time for Americans, well those not connect to FOX, take back America. WE CAN. BRING EMPLOYEE OWNED BUSINESS TO AMERICA AND LET US START TO MANUFACTURE. We are an awesome Nation. WE CAN DO ANYTHING. WE ARE MIGHTY AND AWESOME AND WE ARE A MELTING POT OF ALL NATIONS AND ALL COLORS...AS MY GOD SPEAKS OF IN MANY BIBLES AND WORDS. So, those of us who are not haters, join hands and bring AMERICA back to what it was suppose to be. Well, all history aside. Yesterday was that and today is a new day. Could we fill it with Love and create a country, where all are welcome. Interfaith woman here. Love the cultures. Without them we would just be bland. Love Persian food. Have you tried it? Curious. Lay down the hate and let us create employee owned businesses, where do I start to what we can create. Only in your hands. Not into the burka thing, but would respect it. As a woman, whose men get to dress as they please, I just see it as oppression. I could be wrong. However, I am an American Woman. So instead of destroying each other, could we join hands, and I have dealt with tons of civil rights groups, COULD WE JUST JOIN HANDS AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER AND IN THAT IN AMERICA, START TO CREATE EMPLOYEE OWNED MANUFACTURING. I am not into the online stores because they do not put America back to work and we can surpass China....with just an off and on switch on my popcorn pumper. Tis so easy, just join hands with ME. THE PEOPLE'S PARTY.....BRING AMERICA BACK TO LIFE. WE ARE AMERICA...THE MELTING POT...WE DON'T HAVE TO FOLLOW GOOGLE, SICK....PART OF THE AMERICAN LEGISLATIVE EXCHANGE COUNCIL...WELL DROPPED OUT, BUT IN WHAT FORM. Still into world domination. However, God, My Father, the Light, 99 Names in the Qu'ran alone...is not hot into technology. I have been to Ephesus, Turkey...don't Google or do 3-d printers there. Also have seen Pompeii. So could we, as people who God gave a brain to, start to create something instead of being driving by all the techno crap. Perhaps, we could then create community. Missing that? Wonder, because if we did, you just might meet the woman or man or your dreams instead of driving into all the on-line junk. As for me, I want to create tons of employee owned business that come out of America and have kick ass quality control. Into my third pair of glasses from Walmart. All from China. WHERE DID AMERICA GO? WONDERING? GREW UP WITH AMERICAN MADE AND I WANT YOU BACK. SO HELP ME. I SAY WE DO A VOTE OF ...NO CONFIDENCE..... I am not about a PAC, I am just about gathering people who could help create a bank, stores, manufacturing. The list is endless. CREATE AMERICA. We can do it. We don't have to function in the norms. We just have to have the street smarts to build up a new world. So, I read tons of Bibles. Now my NIV study , know it the best, know that book. I believe that the the world that will go down into the hell hole, because no matter what I say, people will not buy it. However, after reading just that book and I know it pretty well, there will be an earth that comes up out of the ashes. That world is about community, and I did watch, Testament, movie, when I was young, but I also read Tolstoy, when I was 12. So this is what I think I know. While one earth will destroy itself, there will be another earth that starts to come forward. I have seen it. You are on the cusp. I dig O man, but would have liked to see him work when there was not such heart ache for him and I do think that considering his mom Stanley, he has done well. I'd give him another 4 without the ALEC congress. I say, If Jesus came for anything, He came for do overs....and I say, this is an 8 year, my birthday is all ones...and this is the start of a new beginning. Take this where you will, LOL....I say Elizabeth Green...I also dig Grayson, however, that is the human side of me, and I travel tight with the Energy Source upstairs, God, The Light, Energy, lol, the name of HIM is not describable, but that Source is present or I would not be in your face. Selah.

The residents of Towne Lake are concerned about this type of development in this area.

I believe strongly that if every citizen voted we would truly be a democracy rather than a plutocracy.

Addiction can happen to anyone. We need to speak up. No more silence. Its time for New Hampshire to step up and make a difference.

In these dangerous times and with the constant risk to our safety, and now the senseless killing of the hospital staff I.e. Boston surgeon why HHC police officers is not issued any body armor

The idea that all people in America should have access to a Community College education is a great idea. I have saved for the last 16 years for my daughter's education. Living frugally and forgoing new cars and dinners out so that we could put aside money into the 529k. Now the President is suggesting that these funds be taxed so that others can benefit from my years of saving and planning.

We, the members of Stop Smart Meters of Nevada County, and the undersigned citizens, assert the following: Smart Meters, Gateway and/or Tropos devices are a hazard to the physical and mental health and safety of human beings, flora, and fauna ( plants and animals .) [ Gateway and/or Tropos devices for the purposes of this petition refers to: specific technological devices which aid in the transmission of Smart Meter communications and/or amplify/boost the power of Smart Meters.]; Peer reviewed science has demonstrated that children are especially vulnerable to the harmful forms of radiation emitted by Smart Meters, Gateway and/or Tropos devices; Smart Meters, Gateway and /or Tropos devices and their installation have been partially or completely responsible for numerous fires across the United States and Canada which have resulted in the loss of human life, as well as the lives of animals, and have caused millions of dollars in property damage; Smart Meters, Gateway and /or Tropos devices as they are interconnected and currently function have been proven to often misread utility customers' usage, and to artificially and arbitrarily inflate the bills of hundreds of utility customers; Smart Meters, Gateway and /or Tropos devices have been proven to be susceptible to computer hacking, and could thus be used for Eco Terrorism; Smart Meters, Gateway and /or Tropos devices transmit and report customers' private data without customers' consent; The above illegally collected data is then subject to being sold/used illegally; Smart Meters, Gateway and/or Tropos devices are capable of around-the-clock monitoring of certain activities and behaviors in citizens' homes, thereby violating their right to privacy under the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution; Several utility companies have lied, and continue to lie to citizens regarding their right to refuse Smart Meter installation, as well as misrepresented the health and safety risks of Smart Meters, Gateway and/or Tropos devices; Citizens of the United States and Canada have been illegally arrested for their refusal to have Smart Meters installed; Citizens of the United States and Canada have had their property rights violated and their property illegally damaged by utility companies and/or law enforcement when citizens refused the installation of Smart Meters; Utility customers have often been given no notice of Smart Meter installation, or have often been given inadequate notice of Smart Meter installation; The installation and use of Smart Meters, Gateway and/or Tropos devices has resulted in widespread job losses; Local governments' rights to protect the health, welfare, and safety of their citizens may supersede those of the California Public Utilities Commission; The citizens' group Stop Smart Meters of Nevada County shall provide to local authorities documentation to support the aforementioned assertions; We, Stop Smart Meters of Nevada County and the undersigned citizens request the following to these governmental entities of Nevada County, California: Grass Valley – City Council Nevada City – City Council Nevada County Board of Supervisors An immediate MORATORIUM on the further installation of of Smart Meters, Gateway Devices, and Tropos Devices throughout Nevada County, CA. The immediate BAN/ REMOVAL of all Smart Meters, Gateway Devices, and Tropos devices from Nevada County, CA. Utility companies will replace Smart Meters with traditional analogue meters with no costs being levied on the utility customers for said replacement. We also request for a study to be done study to determine the long term health, safety, and economic impact of Smart Meters, Gateway devices, and Tropos devices on Nevada County's citizens. Nevada County is a rural county with finite monetary resources, whereas the county's largest supplier/installer of Smart Meters is Pacific Gas and Electric, which has substantial financial resources. It is the contention of Stop Smart Meters of Nevada County and the undersigned citizens that Pacific Gas and Electric has installed thousands of Smart Meters in Nevada County without performing adequate, unbiased research as to the impact of this technology on the health and well-being of Nevada County citizens. Therefore, as a good faith effort, it is incumbent upon Pacific Gas and Electric to fund the requested study. We request that the Nevada County Board of Supervisors, with the assistance of Nevada County Counsel, oversee the hiring and ongoing work of an independent research firm to do said study. It is hoped that this will insure there is no conflict of interest on the part of Pacific Gas and Electric.

Imani is the only community garden with garden beds in a 20 block area in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Dozens of local residents, school children, and interested groups have spent thousands of hours building up the Imani garden. It features a greenhouse and 13 raised beds. It provides local organic food for its members and the local community. It is a place for learning, working together, and meeting friends, and it's about to be turned into a condo (or something similar), unless the Dept. of Housing Preservation and Development takes it off the list of properties to be developed before Feb. 19th, 2015. There are hundreds of other sites available that do not have community gardens on them.

The President said that he wanted to protect and encourage voting. I can't think of a better way to make voting more accessible than to free up time so that people are able to vote. The National Holiday would also free up the parking lots and schools where most of the voting is done. Also, it would free up more people to work the polls.

Outrageous taxes are causing medical cannabis patients to be unable to afford their medicine of choice. Past and current proposed legislation have called for additional taxes which further separate patients from their necessary medicine. This trend remains detrimental to the health and well-being of medical cannabis patients. Medicine should never be taxed.

The Denver downtown dog community has wanted a place where they can socialize with friends over a craft beer or wine and in the company of their dogs. We are petitioning the City of Denver to permit a private, off-leash dog park to serve beer and wine to their patrons at 719 W. 8th Ave., in the heart of Denver's Arts District on Santa Fe.

My daughter has been charged with multiple charges because she defended herself from an attack from an 18 year old girl, 3 times the size of her. My daughter is in the process of getting expelled and the 18 year old girl hasn't even gotten suspended. The school and officer is favoring the other girl. My daughter since then has been emotionally and physically affected. The School SHOULD NOT favor the other girl! I want my daughter's case to be fair not biased. I believe the school and the school officer have been biased all along!
