Because I have so many friends that live in the trails that I go to school with right now & I don't want to be separated from them. And some siblings will be separated

Cheryl Ewing the director of The day care center and also the mother of suspect Courtney Woo, Cheryl Ewing had intentionally tried to cover up her daughters crimes and is by law a Mandated reporter but did nothing to report this abuse or follow through with her job duties.

Respectfully signed, Cheyenna Wood and Joseph Toone Proud Parents Protecting our Children

Changing Columbus Day to Indigenous People's Day.

Governor Brown himself is a person of faith and well understands that the world is in peril because of pending climate catastrophe stemming from the burning of fossil fuels. Brown has even taken action to stop climate change, however, his permissive policies in regards to fracking undo his positive steps, not to mention threaten communities across California. Ultimately, Jerry Brown, to be a true climate leader, needs to do more than take half-steps around climate change and therefore needs to stop permitting all toxic forms of unconventional fossil fuel extraction techniques like fracking in California and move us to a 100% renewable energy economy. Climate leaders don't frack, and understand the imperative to protect present and future generations.

My name is Doug DiZoglio, and I live in Bay County, Florida. On Jan 14 2013, a Bay County deputy entered my home uninvited, without warrant, without cause, and without procedure. He demanded I give him my dog, saying "You will give me that f**** dog, Mr. DiZoglio.” I responded by telling him to leave my house and said "If you are not the police or a deputy at this time, just an armed intruder, then I am about to call 911 to have you arrested. Please leave." At that point he charged at me and began beating me. He cuffed me and said if I ever speak of this to anyone he will be back to finish this. Then he uncuffed me, repeated the threat, and left. While this happened, an animal control officer also came into my home and took my dog, dragging him by the neck out of the house and to the shelter. I reported this to Internal Affairs, but there was no action. The deputy did not do his incident report until 5-6 weeks later, and it was a story I had to work hard to recognize. There was no accountability, from either the Sheriff’s Office or Animal Control. They break the laws, hurt us, and do it without fear of consequence. Isn’t it the job of the Sheriff’s Office to help the public feel safe? Isn’t it their job to supervise their deputies? Isn’t it their job to respond to honest reports of harm done to citizens? Please sign my petition, saying you agree that things are out of control and that we the public demand accountability.

I have been personally affected by this losing 14+Years of my life for a crime I am innocent of. Please help me get the Justice deserved. We need this case opened and the actual killer deserves to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Please sign on and allow Justice to be reached for me as well as the family of TJ Emfinger. Thank you and God bless!

Two major publishers have drafted new social studies textbooks for K-12 students in Texas that are filled with misinformation about climate change. Since Texas is the nation’s second largest buyer of textbooks, books produced for the state are often sold nationwide. The Texas State Board of Education is reviewing these books now, and will decide at its November meeting whether to approve them. Among other egregious errors, the draft textbooks from publishers McGraw Hill and Pearson assert there is an active dispute among scientists about the primary cause of climate change. The climate change-denying Heartland Institute is given equal footing with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which integrates the work of thousands of credentialed, peer-reviewed scientists. The publishers are responding to pressure from climate deniers on the Texas State Board of Education, who are determined to stop students from learning the overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change -- that it is happening now and caused by human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels. Unless McGraw-Hill and Pearson correct the many factual errors about climate change before its books are presented to the Board next month, students across the country will be denied accurate information about the biggest global challenge their generation will face. It’s crucial that we send a strong message right away that censoring climate science in order to sell books is unethical and an unacceptable disservice to students, and must be corrected.

My bestfriends (of seven years) will be attending Wakeland HS next year when they live one street away from me. I see no need for Eldarado Estates going to Lonestar HS. This will be the third time I've been affected by FISD re-zoning schools! I will not take this anymore! My neighborhood should be going to Wakeland not Lonestar!

The Bottle Bill places a refundable nickel deposit on beer and soda bottles, and those containers get recycled 80% of the time. Other drinks like bottled water, juice, and sports drinks don't have the deposit and only get recycled 23% of the time. These containers are the ones that end up as litter in our parks, beaches, and ballfields, and we shouldn't tolerate it. Vote YES on 2 to keep Massachusetts beautiful.

No one is allowed to go to tim hortons in the morning before school. We need coffee in the morning!

Oscar Pistorius has a history of obsession with guns and domestic violence "incidents" as documented by his former girlfriend Samantha Taylor and police spokeswoman Brigadier Denise Beukes. Today, NPR reported that: "Correctional services officer Joel Maringa says the sentence Oscar Pistorius should receive would be three years of house arrest with strict monitoring — no guns, no drugs, no alcohol — and the attendance of support programs, along with 16 hours of community service a month, likely cleaning a local museum or hospital, to compensate society 'for the wrong he has done.'" This, for the life of an innocent woman?! UNACCEPTABLE! In the United States three women PER DAY are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends. Each MINUTE, 24 people endure domestic violence. In fact, the presence of a firearm in a domestic violence situation increased the risk of homicide by 500 percent! Tell Hon. Thokozile Masipa that she needs to send Pistorius and the rest of the world a message - WE WILL NOT STAND FOR IT ANY LONGER! Honor the legacy of the beautiful Reeva Steenkamp and the other angels whose lives were cut short by domestic violence. Add your name now!

The soda industry has spent 1.675 million dollars (over $21/voter) to date in an attempt to kill this community-driven initiative. Berkeley vs. Big Soda is a David vs. Goliath story about a grassroots children's health movement struggling against a massive corporate-backed campaign of disinformation whose only goal is protecting profits. Not only do we want a win at the polls on Nov. 4th, but we want to inspire other communities to take on this giant - show it can be done. Berkeley is an early adopter of social change. It was one of the first cities to voluntarily desegregate its public schools, offer domestic partner benefits, institute curb cuts in sidewalks, and ban styrofoam containers. What happens in Berkeley doesn't stay in Berkeley. Please visit BerkeleyvsBigSoda.com for more information.
