This petition is important because I feel that quadriplegic have been locked out of society far to long. If they don’t want to give us jobs our government assistance must be increased.

This company is important because it fights for the basic human rights of Quadriplegic’s. Quadriplegic’s were locked out of main stream society when the ADA (Americans with disabilities Act), was first written by President George H W Bush, 30 years ago. We feel that because of the error of technology, the ADA should be revised to include Quadriplegic, our bodies make be broken, but our minds are machines.

This is important because it allows us to show our support as a college community for others with differ-abilities. Creating an inclusive and respectable environment for individuals with special needs and differ abilities is a priority for Alpha Sigma Alpha and we would love to spread this within our college community.

In the midst of a global pandemic that dramatically increased the safety risks of physically going to the polls to vote, several states decided to suppress voter turnout by creating rules that effectively invalidate mail in ballots that arrive after Election Day even if they are postmarked by Election Day. To be precise, there are 28 states that do not allow postmarked ballots to arrive after Election Day. Simultaneously, the President of the United States has deliberately undermined the operations and sustainability of the United States Postal Service and impeded its capacity to process mail, including ballots, in a timely manner. Thus, regardless of the outcome of the 2020 general election, it is clear that we need stronger federal protections for American voters so that every vote counts and so that states cannot suppress votes in the aforementioned manner. In America, our hope is that we are better than this. Not counting votes is unacceptable. Ignoring votes is unacceptable. And voter disenfranchisement is unacceptable.

Since 2011 the Office of Special Education has repeatedly issued directives for school districts to stop delaying a child's right to an evaluation via mandating completion of a lengthy response to intervention before a referral for special education can be made. The Learning Disabilities Association of America and Illinois maintain that many children are waiting up to 2 years before receiving services for disabilities because districts continue to deny referrals. Many parents have had to resort to legal support to obtain rights for their children and many parents are not aware of these rights or have the means to pursue them. In this sense, children from marginalized groups may be more likely to be delayed. The word change from "must" to "may" will allow local school districts to be responsive to their community and protect child rights.

There are reoccurring accidents at this intersection putting drivers and homeowners at risk of injury and property damage. The traffic signs are not enough to indicate the sharp curve. 15mph signs are ignored and cars are regularly underestimating how sharp the corner is.

Despite the moniker as the oldest democracy in the world, the United States has an archaic Electoral College system, in which skates of electors representing a state vote for a presidential candidate to the Electoral College—with 270 electors needed to win. For over 100 years now, the electors with few exceptions represent the candidate who won the popular vote by state, and with a recent Supreme Court ruling, are even more tightly bound to do so. Nevertheless, this election, the Republican Party and Trump campaign are continuing their onslaught against our democratic norms and institutions. In an attempt to steal the election, the Republican Party and Trump campaign are suing states to stop the counting of valid ballots largely of minorities, younger people, and people from traditionally Democratic strongholds. Congress can stand up and end this chicanery by refusing to seat the Electoral College until all votes are counted! More nefariously, the Trump campaign and Republican State Parties are preparing a shadow campaign to appoint alternate slates of electors to the Electoral College in an attempt to sow chaos and throw the election to the House of Representatives. Congress can and must head this off by pledging to only seat slates of electors who represent the popular vote winner of that state. These actions can bring peace to the chaos of the post-election period and ensure the survival of our democracy with a smooth transition of power.

Deportation is an extreme consequence for a civil immigration violation. The Trump administration wasn't the first to deport people with cruelty, but it certainly spread the pain. This problem must be fixed by the Biden administration. We are calling for both administrative policy changes and legislative reform to bring our friends and loved ones home. #ReuniteUS

On Friday, October 30th, Higher Plain Baptist Church in Oklahoma City held an event sponsored by the Oklahoma County Republican Party called "Mark and Patricia McCloskey, persecuted by the left, are coming to OKC!" This event announcement also listed several Republican officer-holders (and candidates running for reelection) as speakers including: Brian Maughan County Commissioner District 2, David Hooten County Clerk and Rick Warren County Court Clerk. This event is deeply troubling for the following reasons: 1. The event violates the provisions of the IRS restrictions on "political campaign activity" for 501c3 organizations. 2. This event celebrated the actions of two people who were indicted in St. Louis of unlawful use of a firearm and evidence tampering, all as a response to Black Lives Matter protesters. 3. The church permitted people to be in the parking lot during this event, brandishing AR-15's as a deliberate attempt to intimidate peaceful protesters. As a result of this situation, I am preparing a formal complaint against Higher Plain Baptist Church (form 13909) with the IRS, urging the IRS to revoke the tax exempt status and will be submitting the responses to this petition as part of the complaint packet.

Voting is one of the most fundamental rights in this country. In fact, people throughout our history have fought and sometimes died for the expansion of voting rights for their communities and in order to see themselves as a part of this ongoing experiment in democracy. Unfortunately, the GOP is doing its best to try and silence voters, because they know that if everyone is able to vote, Republicans will lose. And so the GOP is resorting to cheating in a desperate attempt to keep power. We are seeing harrowing images and videos of voters, particularly Black and Brown voters waiting in line for hours to cast their ballot. Not only that, during a global pandemic, Republican local and state officials have purposefully, made it more difficult to vote by trying to make mail-in ballots inaccessible to voters. Local officials have closed polling locations across the country, forcing voters to travel miles in order to cast their ballot, rather than being able to vote in their own neighborhoods. People from all walks of life are overcoming challenges in order to be voters and partake in the democratic process, and Governor Wolf and Secretary of State Boockvar must ensure that every ballot is counted during the 2020 election cycle. We refuse to allow Republicans to try and disenfranchise voters in order to win the election or declare victory before every vote has been counted. We are hereby telling our elected officials, count every vote, and we want them to count them immediately starting on November 3, not waiting, as several counties stated they were going to today. We need to make sure that the peoples' voices are heard and we are not dictated to by a minority view throughout our State. We also hereby demand, that Governor Wolf and Secretary of State Boockvar, ensure that our polling places are kept peaceful! We must not allow individuals even if they have lawful permits to carry openly guns at or near our polling places. This is a willful use of intimidation, it is not something that is seen in a democracy, we must not allow our democracy to be tainted. Every single vote must be counted by state and local officials in this election cycle. Pennsylvanians need to be assured that there will not be any intimidation or manipulation from outside of our Commonwealth particularly from Washington, every vote counts! Every vote must be counted! Remember it is"We The People” our voices must be heard!
