• Karl Rove: Take Down Deceptive Crossroads GPS Ad
    The right wing has spent millions of dollars spreading false information about the Affordable Care Act. Cory Gardner has made Obamacare scare tactics the central theme of his campaign. Their willingness to mislead voters for political gain on this critical issue has done a terrible disservice to the entire nation.

  • No Facebook or Twitter or Social Media in Public Schools
    It effects me directly. My daughter is being cyber bullyed and she is not even on social media. The school is doing nothing about it. She is being called a Kike among other things.

  • Petition in Support of New Signage Plan at Lincoln Village
    Lincoln Village is one of the major development parcels in our community, and it is set to return to being one of our most important activity and amenity centers. We have seen the center decline over the years, in part because of the changed landscape of highway infrastructure surrounding it. It has become buried in the adjacent highway. For this reason, many tenants have either failed at the center or have chosen to or had to relocate to other properties. Updated, visible signage will help tenants like the ones we have lost be seen on the site so that patrons can find them and utilize their businesses. Although we know the Board has been very cautious in the past about allowing increased sign heights on any property, we believe that in this location taller, larger, and more unique signs will not create any blemish whatsoever on the surrounding landscape while greatly benefiting the ability of Lincoln Village’s tenants to thrive. In fact, we think that attractive signage at this site will actually serve to enhance the landscape and improve it.

  • Oppies Law
    Oppies Law is a common law just like the Amish common laws. This will allow cannabis and hemp to be used and have the same guidelines of a common law.

  • Attorney General Eric Holder: Launch A Full Investigation Into The Mike Brown Shooting
    Trayvon Martin, Renisha Mcbride, Mike Brown. What do all of these people have in common? All three are young black Americans who were brutally gunned down--while unarmed. It seems "Living While Black" has become a crime in this country, and on August 9, 2014, Mike Brown paid for that "crime" with his life. This is a trend that is becoming all too familiar in our country. Mike Brown, just 18 years-old, had just graduated high school and was two days away from beginning college, when he was gunned down after what police called a "physical altercation." Eye witnesses described a very different scene, one in which Mike had put his hands up and surrendered with his back turned as the officer continued to shoot. Although without police dashboard cameras equipped on Ferguson police cruisers, it's merely the word of an officer against the silence of a dead boy. The shooting has already created national outrage and the community of Ferguson is in disarray, as rioting and unrest has broken out around the town. It is time that the federal government intervene and not only investigate this event, but take concrete steps to ensure that incidents like this do not continue to happen in our country. Add your voice and tell Eric Holder that we want justice for Mike Brown! Share this petition on social media using the hashtag #MikeBrown

  • Bring the Jolly Rooster Home to Live Oak
    The Jolly Rooster was a Live Oak icon for many years. He stood proudly on a building located at the intersection of our towns only stoplight. You could give directions to out of towners based solely on their proximity to this colossal Cockalorum. Then he disappeared..... We want him back!

  • Protect DACA and our Nation's DREAMers
    On August 1st, House Bill 216-192 was passed. The intent of this bill is to block funding for the continuation and/or expansion of the DACA program and make ALL DREAMers deportable. As a nation, we have a fundamental responsibility to protect ALL children, regardless of their country of origin. We understand that ALL children are inherently unique and deserve a chance to succeed in life. We must not allow any child to be relegated to a life in the shadows of despair. We must encourage all children to DREAM. We must protect DACA. Please sign this petition urging President Obama and the Senate to VOTE NO on House Bill 216-192.

  • Obtain VPK for 2014/2015 school year
    Happy Go Lucky would be a valuable resource for parents and families of the Oneco, Florida area. We choose to serve the families where there is a higher crime rate, higher poverty rate, and language barriers. We provide valuable information and resources that not only benefit the families, but the community in whole. We believe our staff at HappyGoLucky Daycare instill good values in our children and have made them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. We have asked for VPK services at our new site within this community and have been denied. I believe it is unfair for the children of this community to have to receive services elsewhere as we already have a relationship with many families in the community. Our children are individuals, not numbers. Our community is important to us and we take it seriously. If we do not fight for our children, then who will? Our community is behind us; will you be?

  • Acknowledge the Architect

  • SUFSD BOE: Refuse The Extended Learning Time Grant
    We as concerned parents, community members, and tax-payers in Southampton Union Free School District and Tuckahoe Common School District are very concerned about the approved Extended Learning Time Grant Program. This program would mandate, without any parental in-put or opt-out availability, that our children remain in school for an additional 103 minutes/day in the Intermediate School and an additional 108 minutes/day in the Elementary School. This amount of time, along with the proposed daily calendars, puts unreasonable demands upon our children (physically, mentally and emotionally) and robs the family unit of quality family time. This program would negatively affect community based businesses that cater to children and families and infringe on time that would be used for after school activities, including sports, music, and religious education. The massive amount of private student data that will be collected and put in the hands of third-party companies without specific parental consent is worrisome and unnecessary. Refuse the Grant!!!

  • Director-General of WHO Dr Margaret Chan:Send ebola drug ZMapp to Africa
    The US has a medical breakthrough ZMapp ; an early-stage experimental drug that is currently helping two Americans who contacted the deadly Ebola in Africa. For moral,humanitarian and prudential reasons the US needs to share this drug with Africa. This will help prevent hundreds from needless suffering and death in Africa. It will also help prevent the virus from spreading to other countries. Please send ZMapp to Africa now. Thank you
