I want to end unfair prosecution in Medina, Ohio. Many people in Medina get charged and sent to prison for crimes they did not commit. The biggest problem we have in Medina is men getting charged with rape with little or no evidence. My father Patrick J. Shank was one of those men that was falsely accused. We had piles of evidence to prove he was innocent and he was still found guilty. If the justice system in Medina was fair, many people would not be in prison.

To stop pollution of our rivers nationwide, and to protect our Elk River community.

These 2 areas of the Statutes are a very grey area to be interpreted by the person or department looking at the application. Once a decision has been made by anyone in that department no one will try and overturn that person's decision. This will help clarify the law.

I was diagnosed with infertility and was denied my IVF health insurance benefit from the Hawaii Medical Services Association (HMSA) because I was not married. As a result, I was forced to pay out of pocket for my IVF procedure while married women using their spouse's sperm, civil union couples and same-sex married couples using donor's sperm were allowed the benefit. Infertility does not discriminate, and the right of a woman to access her health benefits to support her decision relating to procreation shall be free of unjustified government interference according to the Hawai`i Constitution. The right to health and family belongs to all women, equally. One woman, all women. One family, all families.

We are petitioniong the Probate Court to order an honest and full accounting from a successor Trustee, Verla Lofton-Sherman. Our claim is that Verla Lofton-Sherman has breached her fiduciary duty to both grantors, she has not kept accurate records/receipts of transactions made in care of one of the grantors or other expenses paid with trust funds, breached duty of loyalty to irrevocable beneficiaries, and violated Power of Attorney "self-dealing/converting real properties in her name and her son's name". Myself, Deborah Q. Washington, and Ollie T. Wilson's other nine irrevocable beneficiaries have not received an honest and full accounting from Verla lofton-Sherman, nor received our rightful 50% share of remaining assets of Ollie T. Wilson and Thelma G. Wilson's Revocable Living Trust impartially. We also do not want anyone else to get away with committing elderly financial abuse to our Aunt Thelma Wilson for the second time without being penalized.

On September 12, a group of MAP teachers and parents submitted a charter school petition for the Ross Valley Charter School to the Ross Valley School District. The Charter Petition was unanimously denied by RVSD Trustees upon consideration of the 27 page RVSD staff report. Although the charter petition will “partially convert Manor School,” potentially bumping K5 teachers and families to other RVSD schools, petitioners did not involve either group in the process, nor did they obtain the requisite signatures of 50% of the Manor teachers. Keep MAP a RVSD program!

Many deaths have occurred at intersections throughout the state involving drivers that have missed stop signs. Let's make it easier to see them by lighting them up. My wife and I are an example of a near fatal accident because of a driver who ran a stop sign back in 1998. My wife was 7 months pregnant at the time, and had to go through 2 and a half hours of brain surgery. Miraculously both made it through and are healthy today.

Over one million persons could die in TX from no insurance.

Our neighborhood has been cleared of more than forty trees. Once a tree lined neighborhood where people enjoyed walking through, now it has been transformed. There is no shade and the sidewalks are patched with the repair work. I am petitioning the town to replace these trees. I have tried to talk directly with the town supervisor and highway superintendent and keep getting their staff telling me how there is nothing that can be done. We pay taxes to improve our neighborhood not destroy them. Please support this petition to show our resolve. There is strength in numbers

Since 2010, Democrats in Congress have been running scared. They lack a cohesive message and have been allowing Republicans to define the terms of the national debate. BOLD new leadership in Congress is required for Democrats to regain a majority in both the House and Senate in 2016.

I want to preserve the people's voice in how our economy works, not only for adults like me and my loved ones, but also for the children who need to have an economy they can thrive in. The TPP would devastate jobs, not only internationally, but also within the United States, in ways not seen before. It would even ban "Buy American, Buy Local," an effort that has preserved and grown U.S. jobs for decades.

Every time I go to the Rite Aid in my neighborhood, I see a person ahead of me in line handed a plastic bag carrying one item: sometimes a toothbrush or a greeting card that would fit easily into their purse or backpack is even double-bagged. When it's my turn in line, I have to be vigilant to make sure the cashier doesn't give me a bag for one item, or that they let me place multiple items in the bag I carry with me before they automatically bag my purchases. Unneeded plastic bags waste valuable resources: for one thing, 12 million barrels of oil are used in their production each year, according to the Wall Street Journal. And they contribute to the vast amount of trash removed from the places we live every day, which require fossil fuels to transport. Plastic bag litter harms numerous species in our environment. Plastic bags are not free because they cost taxpayers millions of dollars in litter cleanup and trash removal. This is something we can change with a simple shift in the policy and training of employees so that they can ask customers, "Would you like a bag?" Some might say they re-use the bags. I re-use them myself, but even with trying to reduce the number I use all the time, I have never once run out or needed to purchase trash bags. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, the average American family takes home 1,500 plastic shopping bags a year. In addition, a tiny portion of these plastic bags are recycled-- less than 5%, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. This is a place where drugstores across the country can take leadership very easily and make an impact.
