Challenge for FactsIt's time for everyone stating their opinions to back them up with references. No more blanket statements devoid of facts! It's time for the media to tell us what the facts are and not simply provide a platform for either side to spew. Do your job and investigate issues sot hat you can provide us the facts with which to help us develop an educated opinion.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by BOB ROLSKY

Soccer in our schoolHello all! I am going to re-do the petition to get soccer in Brimfield. I think it is about the time the board starts talking about next year, so let's show them how much we want soccer at our school. For those in Elmwood, we would love your input also. We cooperate in a lot of sports; maybe soccer could be one of them.73 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dawn Davidson

Restore the Mesabi Humane Society's Facebook PageWe the undersigned, would like to see the Facebook page for the Mesabi Humane Society returned to its community friendly version. We are in no way implying that the new director is doing a poor job but we feel that networking the animals is a huge part of our community responsibility. We enjoy seeing pictures of the animals and the new homes of the adopted animals. We also like having the ability to post a photo of a found or lost animal, which in turn can be easily shared. It is fun to see photos of our community and students participating in shelter events and volunteering and this in turn can spark the desire to volunteer in others. By being community oriented, the page can easily share such things as spay/neuter events, fundraisers, etc. We are animal lovers, we are community.... and it takes a community to care for the animals.268 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Barbara Hinsz

Ira Lane & Shanelly Drive Recycling CenterIn recent years, the Recycling Center at the intersection of Ira Lane & Shanelly Drive has suffered from considerable misuse/abuse resulting in piles of recyclables, litter, and general rubbish being discarded in and around the recycling area. Township officials have been notified numerous times over the past year+ and have been presented potential resolutions, including requests to relocate the recycling center .5 miles or less from its current location so it may be better monitored and maintained. To date Township officials have been reluctant and/or hesitant to move forward. I'm requesting the community's assistance in addressing this topic.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Scott Reed

Beaver Dam Solar FieldWe are voting against the solar panel project on Beaver Dam Ch. Rd. This will be one of the largest solar farms in NC. It will be right beside Crest Middle School as well as Pebble Creek Development. Not only is this site bad for home owners the evidence of long term health risk are not known at this time. Why expose so many kids? This land was zoned R20 for residential single home use. Im not against solar farms I just believe there is county land thats better suited for this industry. To much agriculture land is being used up for 30 years of solar farms. Please sign this petition37 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Barry Beaver

Boycott Medical Center Navicent HealthHe (William “RED” Lowe) went five times to the Hospital before his wife called an ambulance to pick him up just to get admitted. Once they admitted him, and ran a few tests. The cancer had metastasized to his lungs and brain. This shouldn’t happen after we have Obama Care. This is a classical case of evil from Medical Center Navicent Health Care. I am sounding off on this miserable, melancholy, and murky Hospital, and Dr. Ninfa M Saunders, President and CEO. I am calling her out personally since she wanted to boast in The Macon Telegraph about how she has changed this Hospital. YES, with additional deaths to victims who do not have health insurance. This community were just fine without your arrogate, incongruous, and evil death penalty ways. We were a sufficient, and self-contained community without, “YOU” shaking things up. The blood of William “Red” Lowe, is on your hand. This is a direct result of your leadership, and your claims of shaking things up at the Medical Center Of Central Georgia. We do need you, nor want you. Get out of Macon, Georgia with your name changed, and your killings, unapologetic, unashamed, and unabashed ways. Yes this is Rev. Ronnie A. Jackson Sr. (478) 262-4858. This fight is on; she has won round one, and she will receive certified correspondences from me, by Monday in round two.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by R. Tony Jackson

Tell Governor Brown: Move forward with overtime pay for IHSS homecare workersHundreds of thousands of seniors and Californians with disabilities recieve quality in-home care through the state's In-Home Supportive Services program (IHSS) and the dedicated homecare workers who serve them. But recently, the for-profit homecare industry was successful in delaying the implementation of a federal regulation that would allow IHSS care providers to receive overtime pay and other labor protections for the first time in history. These protections were due to begin January 1, 2015--and they were taken away just hours before they were supposed to go into effect. Help protect our program and ensure equal rights for homecare workers by signing this petition to urge Governor Jerry Brown to move foward with overtime pay for IHSS workers in 2015. We've waited 75 years for this. It's time.6,464 of 7,000 SignaturesCreated by UDW Caregivers

Look into the prosecutor misconduct of Smith County TexasPeople are appealing to the courts and not being heard. The Judges and DA's in Smith County Texas are known for not going through all of the procedures of the legal system. Families need for the Federal Government to look into these 50yrs to life sentences and see if the time is merited. My husband received a life sentence for an alleged misdemeanor assault that all the evidence pointed towards his innocence, but yet he was convicted of the crime. We need someone to look at this county's cases that are being appealed, but not being heard. Injustice anywhere is a threat everywhere2,298 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by L.Wheeler

Help Psychotherapists Help Their PatientsAs a clinician who has been in practice for 30 years, I can not help my college age children and have not succeeded in building the kind of retirement I need to have to not be a burden on the state at a later date. This is not because of any personal recklessness or bad investment, but because of the fixed market rates of the Insurance and Managed Care industry. In fact, my copay is so high that I cannot afford my own therapist! In my practice, I have fewer resources to spend off-session time and energy to help those who need it.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Steve Kassel

Preserve Long Term Residential Care for Vets with Brain InjuresRecently the Secretary of the VA has deemed that the VA has no authority to authorize long term residential care for veterans with brain injuries. This determination will displace vets all over the US! They will be placed in skilled nursing care facilities and nursing homes that are not capable of caring for this population. The alternative to placement will be to place the burden on their families to either pay for private care or bring them home and attempt to care for their loved one. We need to change or amend the regulations to include long term residential care for these vets. I know for my family and loved one the loss of care would prove devastating! At 35 years of age my husband was serving overseas when he was brain injured. Over the last 10 years I have raised our three children on a small pension. I do not have the funds to pay for private care even if I wanted to. I have also fought and advocated for his care and placement. He has been in a group home now for 5 years that specializes in brain injury and has finally achieved a quality of life he deserves. The facilities that he would be forced to live in have already been tried over the last decade resulting in neglect & abuse. He has been the victim of being drugged, beaten and neglected to the point of nearly having to have amputation. He spent his days locked on one floor and walking circles because he is a high risk for elopement. When he first came home with his brain injury I had attempted to care for him for 6 months nearly ending up in the hospital myself from exhaustion and nervous breakdown. Please sign this petition and contact your representatives to support long term residential care for veterans with all brain injuries. THANK YOU!641 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Lisa Salonich
