We need to vote to protect public education at all levels in Illinois.

Don't allow Ms. Thomas abuse any more people by letting her rent. She will call the police on a 2 year old child for walking through the front entrance, she will unplug your electricity, she will come into your home when you're not there, she will go into your car just to see what you are up to, she will put paint on your washing clothes, she will turn your water off if you shower more than 3.5 minutes. She's even pushed and hit her tenants for not putting the garbage out. 43 Woodbridge Avenue in East Hartford. Don't allow this woman to rent to innocent people.

We as concerned parents/care givers don't feel that it is appropriate to have a rated R television serious on a "Jr" network television regardless what time it is. There are children that are up at that time of all ages weather they are sick or fighting bedtime. Its is wrong and false advertising. Nick jr is and always has been for young children. We need Blues Clues,Wonder Pets,or Yo Gabba Gabba on not rated R innaprorate shows on .

Moveon.org should be named Moron.org, as they have the lamest PR and poor website spellers.

The earth's climate is getting warmer and humans are responsible. This is a fact supported by more than 97% of climate scientists. The result over the next 50 years and beyond could include massive heat waves, prolonged drought, extreme weather and the mass extinction of species. While virtually all climate scientists agree that human activities are warming the planet, 1 out of 3 members of Congress are stalwart, head-in-the sand climate deniers and many more hide behind other excuses to avoid addressing this threat. We have an election coming up, and we are asking voters to vote for those candidates who are actively strategizing to resolve the climate crisis. It is the responsibility of elected officials to protect citizens. Future generations need non-toxic renewable energy sources and minimal use of fossil fuels.

There are half a million migrant children farm workers in America. These children, some only six years old, work seven days a week picking onions, grapes, tobacco, and more. Because there is no law to protect them, there are no restrictions on how old or how long they can work. These children deserve our help.

I am a mother of two teenage boys protesting selective service and the antiquated practice of conscription. My children do not belong to the state. It is my responsibility to protect them from harm and all threats to their health and well being. I request a review of the current laws to reflect modern day values of freedom from servitude, legal justice, social welfare, individual liberty and sensible consideration. Thank you.

Facebook is failing to live up to its obligations under its terms of service. It is failing to prevent the platform being used to spread hate and take it viral. Example of clear antisemitism that were reported to Facebook have now been reviewed by them and they have decided not to take any action. The picture of Anne Frank with the text "Whats that burning? Oh, my it's my family" is just one outragous example which was reported to Facebook only for the complaint to be dismissed. The company is letting down the Facebook community, that is us, the people. More details at: http://ohpi.org.au/?p=286 We demand Facebook immediately: 1. Shutdown the pages “Controversial-Humor-Jewish-Memes” (ID# 389407607793765 ) and “Holocaust”(ID #307998715931777) 2. Ban the users who created these pages in response to their promotion of hate speech 3. Competently review all complaints about racist pages that have been rejected We ask that Facebook: 1. Change the way reports regarding pages are managed. Pages should use the same “Support Dashboard” as complaints for photos, timelines and profiles. 2. Investigate how the complaints about the images shown at http://ohpi.org.au/?p=286 were rejected 3. Implement better training processes for staff managing complaints 4. Implement ongoing regular systematic audits of complaints processed by front line staff Hate speech can target either a person or a group of people. It includes speech targeting all people of a particular race, nationality, ethnicity, country of origin, religion, sexuality, gender identity, gender, or on the basis of a medical condition or disability. Facebook’s terms of service, the “Statement of Rights and Responsibilities”, clearly state: “You will not post content that: is hate speech”. Facebook must act to remove the hate.

I am writing this petition on behalf of my son, Ben. He is 12 years old, in 5th grade, and he is deaf. There is technology and assistance that would allow him to have equal access to education, and he is not receiving it from his school district. He struggles every day. Imagine wearing noise cancelling headphones in a classroom and then be expected to perform on the same level as your hearing classmates. This is what Ben has to do, as well as others like him. We went to the school during the 2012-13 school year and made a request for captioning equipment as well as other ideas to make the classroom accessible, and we were met with skepticism and ignorance on the subjects of his disability and accessibility. As time passes, my child sits in a classroom desperately trying to keep up with lectures and student interaction, which is so important to cognitive development and education, but also leaves him fatigued, frustrated and with headaches. Even those of you who may not be familiar with deafness or any other disability, you encounter accessibility for the disabled every day. Ramps, railings and special parking for those in wheel chairs, Braille on ATMs and “beeps” at crosswalks for the visually impaired and alarm systems that can be seen and heard are all examples of everyday accessibility that we take for granted. These are some of the ways that people with disabilities are able to be productive members of our society. My son needs access to technology that converts the words spoken in the classroom into text and displaying them on a computer screen so that he can follow the teacher’s lecture, other students’ questions, class discussion or other oral information presented in the classroom. Captioning captures all pertinent oral information presented in the classroom. This technology would allow Ben to use his voice in class to participate in discussions which are critical for his education and for improving voice quality so that others will more readily understand his speech. Captioning technology will allow Ben to develop oral vocabulary and hone the ability to “listen”. As Ben puts meaning to sounds with the help of this tool he will be learning to communicate independently. Ben does not use sign language. He is in a very small percentage of the Deaf community that chooses the spoken word. This is the mode of communication that he has chosen. If Ben did sign, he would have an interpreter. Would it not stand to reason that the school district would allow him interpretation in his mode of communication? Even students who use sign language often prefer speech to text in an educational setting. Please help Ben achieve his dreams by giving him a fair and appropriate education. He is a loving intelligent young person, who without this technology has very little chance of achieving his potential.

Park Slope has no mass transit access for the aging and disabled. Therefore, the only way for residents to go to appointments in Manhattan, including doctor, family , educational and cultural visits, usually requires that they drive or take car service. This increases environmental pollution thus negating an important goal of urban living. In addition , it is an added expense to this population many of whom live on fixed budgets and must deal with the costs of living in New York ,one of the most expensive cities in the USA.
