• Remove NO PARKING red lines from Villages of Fairview
    The city painting unnecessary no parking red lines impacts the value of all homes in the villages of Fairview. No parking signs and extra patrols should have been sufficient without feeling the need to de-value our homes and our neighborhoods.

  • bring yoga, taichi and qigong to classrooms
    Growing up I was enrolled in Chicago public schools, by the time I graduated high school I was obese. After high school I weighed in at 365 lbs and was living a dangerous lifestyle. I Wanted Change So I took A trip to China and stayed for almost 1 year. The trip opened my eyes to the ancient mind body practices of yoga and qigong and it helped to transform my life. After my return to the states I quickly lost 200 lbs following the principles of the mind body practices. The entire Chinese population knew these ancient practices because they where introduced at a young age in grammar school. Most of the population is by far healthier and more focused to what they want in life and are happy. Lets give our future generations the meaning of life at a young age so that we don't have to worry about a pandemic of obesity, diabetes, and, the list goes on. The mind body practices also focus in on eating only nutrient dense foods, proper rest, relaxation, exercise, and community involvement making the world a better place one neighborhood at a time. All it takes is 20-30 minutes a day of practice to get the benefits of what these ancient mind body practices have to offer. A perpetual mind body practice gives us a Reduction in BMI, stress, depression, anxiety, sleep apnea, all while increasing focus, immunity, strength, and flexibility. Yoga in schools gives our future generations the head start they need to conquer their school day.

  • Against Pacific Fields Rezone in Stansbury
    This proposed rezone would allow for the building of high density housing in the form of duplexes within what should be the boundaries of the Stansbury Village HOA. This greatly changes the nature of the neighborhood. Additionally this would create a neighborhood isolated by the major traffic artery of the frontage road and adding to an already congested area of the park.

  • 100:1 Maximum Wage Law
    To help reduce the gigantic income inequality in our country. Presently, the average CEO of American corporations is earning over 300 times the minimum wage. If it is legal to have a minimum wage law, then why not a maximum wage law? Wendell H. Williams Democratic Nominee U.S. Congress (ca.10)

  • Help Children with Special Needs and/or Disabilities Get the Medical Coverage They Need!!
    My son Jacob has been diagnosed with extreme anxiety most likely due to Atypical Autism (PDD-NOS), ADD and/or Tic Disorder. He has been a "special needs" child since he was about 3 years old. Our medical insurance companies, Emblem Health and Blue Cross Blue Shield, have both denied him coverage for I.V. Sedation in the hospital to get his cavities fixed (2 cavities being really bad now). Her has been to 3 different pediatric dentists, with more than 7 office visits, has been under the nitrous oxide, and no one has been able to complete any of the dental procedures, due to my son's extreme anxiety, and also due to his sensory processing disorder, which is a symptom of the PDD-NOS. It has been strongly suggested not only by his pediatric dentists, but by his behaviorist and pediatrician as well, that for my son's best interest he should be put under I.V. sedation in an outpatient room in a hospital in order to complete all of the dental work that needs to be done! I think that all medical insurance companies should be mandated to cover this, so that my son isn't scarred for life by being held down in a dental jacket while he screams in a dental chair, scared out of his mind!! Please help me by signing this petition! I am sure there are a lot of mothers going trough this, and who cannot afford a $10,000 hospital bill! If I cannot help my child, I hope to help other families going through the same situation.

  • Defective Ameda Breast Pumps
    Breast pumps are recommended by pediatricians and lactation consultants, not only as a way to increase milk supply, but to bottle feed breast milk to babies for working mothers. The advantages to breast feeding are well-known and if a mother chooses to breastfeed her baby, she should be able to using resources such as an effective breast pump. The harm that the defective Ameda breast pump has caused includes but is not limited to the following: physical stress to the mother's breast, low if any output, psychological stress, failure for her baby to thrive, the introduction of supplemental formula or solid foods before the mother wants to do so, increased financial burden for means to increase milk supply including doctor's appointments, vitamins, and other resources for the mother and the child, missed work due to inability to pump breast milk, and more.

  • Tell Florida to override judges who removed kids from fit mother
    My Gainesville-raised children were removed from me - deemed fit by the judge and placed with their father, who was ordered in the past to take anger management classes. The children, ages 8 and 11 have both said they wish to stay with their mother, but were not given the opportunity to testify. The case is yet another example of the courts taking sides over alleged - but unproven - accusations of parental alienation. Tell the state's family courts why custody decisions should be made in the best interest of our children.

  • Congress: Protect our electric power grid from terrorism
    The electrical power grid is vulnerable to prolonged and catastrophic collapse due to terrorism by nuclear weapon generated electromagnetic pulse (EMP), cyber attack, and physical attack, or from EMP power surge from solar flare CME. Without electrical power possibly for years, Americans will be denied access to food, water, communications, transportation, gas and oil, health services, government, banking, etc., as outlined in the 2008 EMP Commission report to Congress, a catastrophe for our nation. Passage of HR Bill 4298 will bring protection to the power grid and its electrically dependent infrastructures vital to our nation's survival.
