• Coming of Age in America
    The Barmitzvah that I attended moved me to think we all could use such a ceremony, shaping our self image as adults. I feel there is nothing similar and that we could benefit by writing the text, asking ourselves at the same time just what it is to grow up, and what we should be asking of our children. Turning it into a tradition wouldn't be so hard. And what a good reason to party!

  • East Hampton Town Board: Stop Aircraft Noise, Now!
    To the East Hampton Town board members: East Hampton Airport was traditionally intended to serve local pilot-owned and operated aircraft for personal recreation and transportation. Yet, aircraft noise due to unintended and non-traditional users of East Hampton Airport -- commercially operated helicopters, jets, and seaplanes -- has grown to become an intolerable burden on the peaceful enjoyment of our homes and gardens, both near to and distant from the airport, upon our beaches, waterways, and preserved open space, and upon wildlife habitat throughout the East End. This occurred over time, without local design or consent, due to Federal Aviation Administration control over the airport. Attempts to protect homes by directing traffic over preserved open space and wildlife habitat are both unacceptable and a demonstrated failure. Now that FAA control has lapsed, it is imperative that the East Hampton Town Board immediately return East Hampton Airport to its traditional and intended use, reclaiming our precious peace and quiet, by imposing a curfew and excluding helicopters and other aircraft types noisier than the pilot-owned and operated aircraft for which the airport was designed and intended.

  • Historic Holly Street is not a highway
    Ever since the City restriped Holly Street in July 2014 without giving residents enough notice and without an EIR, Holly residents have a tough time getting in and out of driveways and it is unsafe for everyone, children especially!

  • Bringing service dogs home for troops.
    Dogs that are trained as service dogs are closer to their owners than even our beloved pets. It's cruel to separate veterans from their dogs who have been not just a source of comfort, but sometimes actual life savers. Allowing the vets to bring their dogs home with them is a tangible way of saying "Thank you for your service."

  • Allow student loans to be re-financed as mortgages are.
    Because my daughter-in-law is still paying off her student loan, she cannot afford to buy a home & is otherwise unable to make purchases which could help to revive the economy. House and Senate members who want to DO something to stimulate the economy, not just play blame games & talk, talk, talk, should ACT now. Relieve students and their families of burdensome debt, & revive growth.

  • Allow a Parole Hearing For Decedrick Gainous
    My son was convicted of a crime and at the time he was 18 and now 39 years old. He has been in Texas Department of Corrections since 1994. He was given a life sentence, with a possibility of porale in 40 years. According to prison time, he has been in there 40 years. Prison time is somewhat different from regular time. For some reason the 40 years seems to never come. So I'm asking if you would please sign my petition. Please allow my son a fair chance for a parole hearing.
