I have seen too many people get hurt from the online comments under news stories. You were created to report news, not perpetuate online bullying and harassment. I'm only asking to remove the ability to publicly comment on news stories.

The WV Public Service Commission is investigating WV American Water's response to the January 9th chemical spill that contaminated the drinking water for 300,000 of its customers. The deadline for public comment in October 7th.

Let the U.S. Administration and the U.S. house and the U.S. senate know there are many tax payers of this country that still have family and friends in Iraq. America should speak up and take action against the different groups that are persecuting the Christians of the region.

The proliferation of fact checking groups/activities demonstrates the explosion of questionable information being generated everywhere. Though the fact checking efforts are laudable, many/most times, when the information is found to be deceptive, the people that produced it are not held accountable. This petition addresses the issue of regaining our right to be able to Trust our elected officials.

Intended to strengthen public protection against the unlicensed practice of massage therapy, sponsor a bill that proposes several changes to the laws governing massage therapy licensure. Currently, it is a class E felony to practice massage therapy without a license or to employ three or more unlicensed individuals to practice massage therapy in New York State. This should be change to 1 unlicensed person, and be easily ENFORCED. The Laws are not enforced accurately because the NYS Dept. Of Education Laws are not concise when they describe scope of practice etc. Stop Appearance Enhancement Licensee's from practicing out of scope, governed by Dept of State Division of Licensing. State, County, Town and Village municipalities, as well the Dept. of Licensing and Dept of Education Office of Professions, often cite jurisdiction as an excuse for INACTION. Clarify scope of practice so Alleged Lawbreakers cannot use loopholes such as Reflexology, "beauty massage" "Foot Rub" Back Rub" and so forth. There is an immediate risk to one's health when therapeutic massage services are performed by an unlicensed individual. The scientific system of activity of the muscular structure of the human body requires the application of licensed therapeutic techniques when kneading, tapping and vibrating from the hands seeks to improve muscle tone and circulation. When these services are performed by an unlicensed individual, cramps and other inflicted pain on one's muscles can adversely impact the circulation in one's body. Because this is a problematic issue, greater restrictions and enforcement are needed throughout the State to hold those criminally accountable who are not authorized to perform such services on other people. Greater enforcement and regulation of the massage therapy profession will keep the health of the public a priority. This is a public health issue since there are a mountain of contraindications such as High Blood Pressure, Varicose Veins, peripheral neuropathy , Fever, Cancer, and Inflammation, just to name a few.

This petition is being started on behalf of a large number of my like-minded friends, associates, and family who are equally upset and concerned about this abuse of power and the expending of taxpayer,s hard earned dollars being spent for such an obviously partisan reason..to have a negative impact on the upcoming fall elections.

Many LA County property owners cannot afford the new high costs of maintenance projects near oak trees imposed by LA County regulations. An example of over-regulation is new provisions in proposed Ordinance 22.44.950.B.1 in the Santa Monica Mountains Local Implementation Program. Many property owners are now viewing smaller oak trees as a liability they cannot afford because the trees will someday reach the size where $1,086 - $8,724 fees are triggered. On August 26th, the County Board of Supervisors will vote on whether to make 6" diameter oak trees subject to these fees. That's right, it could cost $1,086+ to trim a 6" oak tree under these new proposed regulations! It's time to ask LA County to stop over-regulation so that oak trees can flourish. Please sign this petition to support oak trees by stopping their over-regulation. You can also directly email your own comments to the County Board of Supervisors at: [email protected] For more information, see: August 26th, 2014 Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Hearing Notice: http://planning.lacounty.gov/assets/upl/project/coastal_bos-hearing-notice.pdf Oak Tree Permit Information: http://planning.lacounty.gov/apps LA County Fee Schedule, Item 40: http://planning.lacounty.gov/assets/upl/general/fee_20140301.pdf Draft Proposed Revised Oak Ordinance page 112 to change diameter trigger from 8" to 6" (22.44.950.B.1): http://planning.lacounty.gov/assets/upl/project/coastal_bos-lip.pdf Proposed Land Use Plan See CO-99 and CO-100, pages 46-47: http://planning.lacounty.gov/assets/upl/project/coastal_bos-lup.pdf Important Note: The April 2014 LA County Board of Supervisors version of the proposed ordinance did NOT include this revision to regulate 6" oaks for all development in 22.44.950.B.1. This is because the ordinance is meant to implement proposed Land Use Plan CO-99 and CO-100 (see 22.44.1920.K). Both CO-99 and CO-100 pertain to "new" development only and 22.44.1920.K implements this. The Coastal Commission, in a late June 2014 publication, revised 22.44.950.B.1 as well. This was a MISTAKE because 22.44.950.B.1 pertains to both new projects AND existing development maintenance projects - this is a MISTAKE and it is not supported by the proposed Land Use Plan. This mistake needs to be called out by and corrected by the LA County Board of Supervisors.

We are all affected when our country supports polices for the destruction of human life ! I started this petition out of frustration for the lack of reason and tolerance that our government has shown.

John Boehner will not reveal the cost of his lawsuit against the President

I have been doing prisoner advocacy for 15 years and have been working on this specific issue for over a year and a half and found noone listening or caring. The Center for Investigative Journalism (www.wisconsinwatch.org) has done series on the abuse and now we must demand an independent investigation. Both staff and prisoners are harmed in this situation and it is our responsibility to help.
