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!

Internet connectivity on board the Steamship Authority vessels is sub-par or non-existent. It is virtually impossible to work or communicate while on the water, and that is unacceptable, especially when "Free Wifi" signs are posted on the boats.
