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.

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

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!

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.

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?

We believe that before a death sentence is carried out by the Brooklyn Public Library on the Brooklyn Heights / Business Branch that it be acknowledged on the Brooklyn Public Library website who built the building that is sentenced to death.

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!!!

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

Our goal is to organize our employees, concerned citizens and organizations to rally together, letting the post office know that the Pee Dee region needs a strongmail service, like we’ve had for hundreds of years. We also want to let them know that putting up Postal Contract Units in stores with employees with no previous postal service training and no background checks—unlike our USPS employees—is unacceptable. This is about the security and the timely delivery of our mail.

Atlantic County has one of the highest median property taxes in the U.S., and is ranked 42nd of the 3143 counties in order of median property taxes. Tax increase amounts to 47 cents per $100. This has to stop and is only going to be stopped when we put our voices together so we can be heard. Please sign our petition to stop this tax increase!

Today’s crisis in Iraq has its origins in the Bush administration's disastrous decision to launch a war of choice in 2003. As we continue to live with the consequences of those mistakes, we must recognize the hard reality that lasting and sustainable peace in Iraq can only be achieved with an Iraqi-led political solution. As President Obama has said, there is no viable military solution to this crisis. That is why the recent bombing airstrikes launched in Iraq by U.S. military forces -- and the calls by some in Congress to escalate further -- are troubling. The risks of mission creep, unintended consequences, and incremental escalation are just too high -- and after more than a decade of conflict, America cannot afford another Iraq war. In June, the House passed a bill -- with overwhelming bipartisan support -- that sends a strong message to the president to seek congressional authorization for further military action in Iraq. Congress must demand answers and engage the American people in a debate. This is the time to ask the hard questions and get the answers -- before any further U.S. commitments to taking military action in Iraq. The American people look forward to hearing answers to the difficult but necessary questions.
