I receive approximately 4 to 500 Bed Bug Hotline calls a month from people all over the US. Many of these people just moved into a dwelling that has established bed bug infestations. Make property owners be held responsible and demand for inspection for bed bugs by having appropriate documentation and disclosure on any bed bug problems issued by a professional pest management company to protect the innocent.

On October 2nd, Huffington Post reported yet another story of Ted Nugent spewing racist rhetoric. Accoding to HuffPo: "Musician Ted Nugent took to the Internet on Wednesday to decry what he called "Ferguson thugs" and "a plague of black violence," demanding that blacks stop supporting liberals because of what he saw as biased media coverage of the recent Ferguson police shooting." This is just the latest of a long list of racist, homophobic, sexist, violent ranting that includes but isn't limited to: 1) 'Dead Or In Jail' - "If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year," Nugent said to NRA supporters in April 2012. 2) 'I'd Like To Shoot 'Em Dead' - During an interview in 2008, Nugent had harsh words for undocumented immigrants on Sean Hannity (Fox "news") 3) 'Suck On My Machine Gun' - During a 2011 interview with CNN's Piers Morgan, Nugent outlined his views on gun control. "Anybody that wants to disarm me can drop dead," Nugent said. "Anybody that wants to make me unarmed and helpless, we're gonna literally create the proven places that where more innocents are killed called 'gun-free zones,' we're gonna beat you. We're gonna vote you out of office, or suck on my machine gun, you can take it whichever way you want." 4) 'You Punk', 'You Worthless Bitch' - While on stage at a 2008 concert, Nugent held up machine guns and shared his thoughts on Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. "Hey, Obama," he said, guns in hand. "You might wanna suck on one of these, you punk." He continued, "Hillary, you might wanna ride one of these into the sunset, you worthless bitch." 5) 'Apartheid Isn't That Cut-And-Dry' In 1990, Nugent caused a stir when he commented on racial segregation in South Africa to Detroit Free Press magazine. "Apartheid isn't that cut and dry," Nugent said. "All men are not created equal. The preponderance of South Africa is a different breed of man. I mean that with no disrespect. I say that with great respect. I love them because I'm one of them. They are still people of the earth, but they are different. They still put bones in their noses, they still walk around naked, they wipe their butts with their hands ... These are different people. You give 'em toothpaste, they f***ing eat it ... I hope they don't become civilized. They're way ahead of the game." As an endorser of PRS, Peavey and MXR products, Nugent casts a negative shadow on your respective brands. This petition is a request that you drop Nugent from your endorsed artist roster. Not doing so is silent approval of all these racist, sexist, homophobic, violent, separatist rhetoric that deeply divides our country. I hope you agree with me and disassociate with this dark cloud of American society.

To encourage your New Mexico lawmakers to revise the Animal Welfare Act to include a statewide Animal Abuse offenders list.

I'm currently involved with an elder who has been seriously neglected and exploited financially exploited by someone who was looking after her.

Currently, many Georgia families with members who suffer from illnesses treatable with medical marijuana are faced with a difficult decision: Wait for lawmakers to advance legislation or uproot their families and seek treatment in other states. A total of 23 states and the District of Columbia now allow for comprehensive public medical marijuana and cannabis programs. More than one million U.S. patients receive the treatment for a wide range of conditions--from multiple sclerosis and nausea caused by cancer chemotherapy to Crohn’s disease and seizure disorders. CNN’s chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta has been vocal in his support for legalizing medical marijuana and doctors across the nation share his professional opinion. It’s not enough for our governor and other state leaders to slow walk clinical trials in Georgia when other states have made much more progress more quickly. Both the science and the support from the medical community are there. Tell your lawmaker to support Georgia families who would benefit from legalized medical marijuana.

The purpose of this petition is to unify the voices of the residents of Old Metairie in our joint frustration with the dangers posed by the existing rail line. Our objective is to persuade the State DOTD and the Railway operators to permanently relocate this stretch of railway to a non-residential location.

My own daughters can depend on clean water, health care and nutritious food. I empathize with moms around the world who aren't able to meet these basic needs for their children and watch them suffer and die from treatable and preventable causes.

My co-workers and I work at the Huhtamaki Commerce, California plant and we’ve been fighting for a voice on the job, safer working conditions and better wages. We struggle to support our families on the wages we make and sometimes have to work in 100 degree temperatures. But instead of meeting with us to discuss our concerns, Huhtamaki management has ignored us and retaliated against some of my co-workers for speaking out. Since Huhtamaki is ignoring us, we’re bringing our fight for justice to one of its customers--Chipotle. Huhtamaki supplies Chipotle with burrito bowl containers and goes to great lengths to assure the public of the high ethical standards that the companies which supply its all of its ingredients must meet—“Food with Integrity.” We think those same standards should apply to Huhtamaki. The Chipotle website boasts of its compliance with the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 in ensuring its food suppliers “demonstrate respect for people, the environment and farm animals” and that it routinely audits those suppliers to determine that they meet Chipotle’s high standards. Surely the company that supplies its burrito bowl containers should follow the same standards it expects from the farmers it gets its food from. Sign our petition now to Chipotle CEO Steve Ells urging Chipotle to stand up for Huhtamaki workers as strongly as it stands up for the environment and animals it uses in its food.

November 19, 2014 Mayor Charlie Hales Commissioner Dan Saltzman Commissioner Nick Fish Commissioner Steve Novick Commissioner Amanda Fritz Dear Mayor Hales and Members of the Portland City Council, We are a community of members who care about active, healthy, vibrant recreational opportunities. We believe Portland has the potential to become a recognized and acclaimed haven for off-road cycling. To achieve that vision, we agree with Commissioner Amanda Fritz – it’s time for a citywide master plan for recreational cycling. In fact, we are decades overdue at this point. Now is the time to fund a planning process for off-road cycling. We request that City Council designate $200,000 to launch us into that process. It is past time to meet the overflowing demand for recreational cycling access. Thank you for your consideration, Northwest Trail Alliance & Friends

My fellow professors wages are being cut because our administration does not value instruction. Only CONSTRUCTION.

I believe that Edward Snowden is a patriot who has stood valiantly against what he believes to be unconstitutional and oppressive practices by agents of the United States Government. I have been affected by those abuses, as has every other American who makes phone calls and uses the Internet. Our freedom is at stake.

In spite of recent improvements, including the new school funding formula and increased funding for early childhood education, which represent a tremendous step forward, we've dropped to 50th in per-student funding (cost of living adjusted) and our underfunded schools remain at the bottom in academic outcomes/performance. The upcoming session represents an opportunity for our legislators to take the next step.
