• Gov. Quinn - Please Stop Frackquakes In Southern IL
    The risk of frackquakes is well known and proven. The scientists know less about frackquakes in the active earthquake zones - many of them have recommended that active seismic zones be placed off limits to fracking and disposal of waste water. Springfield is not listening but maybe Gov. Quinn, as he exits the office, will be moved to act. Injection-Induced Earthquakes, William L. Ellsworth Earthquakes with magnitude (M) ≥ 3 in the U.S. midcontinent, 1967–2012. After decades of a steady earthquake rate (average of 21 events/year), activity increased starting in 2001 and peaked at 188 earthquakes in 2011. Human-induced earthquakes are suspected to be partially responsible for the increase. http://www.sciencemag.org/content/341/6142/1225942.short These small central U.S. quakes have been occurring near sites of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. http://mrges.com/news/ESNews/scinews/files/fracking-waste-and-quakes.pdf Fracking Industrialization And Induced Earthquakes, Brent Ritzel http://fullerfuture.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/frackingindustrializationandinducedearthquakes-12-2-13.pdf

  • Deer Path Opposition to HSE Redistricting Proposal
    As part of the HSE school redistricting initiative our neighborhood has been proposed as the only one that will be split into 3 different schools. In addition, the schools proposed for our children are a wholesale difference from current state and involve much longer bus times and 2-3x greater distance from our home. Especially at the intermediate/junior high level, it is so important that kids can stay together as a group that feed to HSE. Right now, all the options have our kids going to schools that funnel to FHS (in some cases a 65/35 split which is entirely unacceptable) when our children will be sent to HSE HS.

  • Do not support Elizabeth Warren for President
    Elizabeth Warren supports the disaster known as Obamacare. How can you expect her to be an effective leader if she cannot decipher the ludicrousy of the current program that is putting billions of dollars into health insurance providers that give us $6000 deductibles while we still have to pay the government for them monthly and then pay out-of -pocket for healthcare. She only opposes the tax on prosthetics companies. I think she is nothing but another corporate supporter and we need main street support. I am do not believe that MoveOn should support this candidate.

  • Michigan Citizens against the The Religious Freedom Restoration Act
    The Religious Freedom Restoration Act states that a provider's " religious reasons" could prevent a person in need from receiving medical help, housing, or a driver's license. This Act is discriminatory and unkind. We the people of Michigan who have signed this petition do not support this Act.

  • White Tights and Socks for Uniform- Girls
    Making a change to the dress code that would make kids' and parents' lives easier, instead of more challenging, would be greatly appreciated. We've endured countless little changes to the uniform code over the past 6-7 years. Complying with the many changes while knowing there is little real return is frustrating, but we've done it. White socks and tights: that is all we're asking. We have been good with keeping up with the uniform merry-go-round, but we're getting dizzy and unamused after yearly, tedious changes. Since this change can only be an aesthetic one, we promise the girls will look just as adorable in white.

  • SPEAK UP AGAINST Senate Bill 1342
    The bill discourages people from recording the police by making unlawfully recording police – or an attorney general, assistant attorney general, state’s attorney, assistant state’s attorney or judge – a class 3 felony, which carries a sentence of two to four years in prison. Meanwhile, the bill makes illegal recording of a private citizen a class 4 felony, which carries a lower sentencing range of one to three years in prison. We can also stop this bill by calling the office of Illinois governor, Pat Quinn, at 312-814-2121, and demand that he veto the Amendment to Senate Bill 1342. Or you can email him at this link.

  • Medical legal and psychiatric participation in CIA Torture
    I am a psychotherapist and horrified about the collaboration of medical and psychological practitioners with torture, akin to Nazi doctors. They, and lawyers who set the legal r clearance for torture must have penalties that effect their lives, not excluding jail sentences and publication of their names

  • Michigan Humans Against The Inhumane Religious Freedom Restoration Act
    I am a Christian woman and this is not right. Everyone has the ability to have a seat next to God all the way until the day that they die. We are not to judge them. Only God can Judge! We are Human. If you pass this bill, then you are telling the world that you are just as good as God and you will loose! I have Gay family and if this law passes and they die because they didn't get treated because they are Gay, prepare to be owing a lot because my family will have your job!

  • Indict Daniel Pantaleo for Murdering Eric Garner
    On July 17, 2014, Eric Garner died in the Tompkinsville neighborhood of Staten Island, New York, after a police officer put him in an apparent choke hold for allegedly selling untaxed Cigarettes and the Murder was on video. The Grand Jury who heard the case failed to indict Daniel Pantaleo because District Attorney Daniel Donavan thought Pantaleo was doing what he was trained. Daniel murdered Eric Garner and District Attorney Daniel Donavan knows it.
