• Let's give every kid in Phoenix a strong start
    Mayor Stanton has a chance to help kids in Phoenix, and across the whole country. Later this month, the Council of Mayors will consider resolutions in support of expanding quality early education to every child in America. Kids who attend preschool not only do better in school as they grow older -- they're also more likely to go to college and get a good job. But for many families, a quality preschool program is simply too expensive or not available. Last year a bipartisan bill was introduced in Congress that would help every child get access to quality preschool. We need more support from the local level to push this measure forward. Support from Mayor Stanton and his colleagues is the kind of local support that we will need to win. What we need to do right now is to demonstrate widespread support from people like you.

  • Save Our Kids-Block the Creepypasta website or shut it down
    As a mental health professional, I have seen, first hand, how Creepypasta negatively influences teens with mental health issues. We will continue to have violent behaviors from sick kids as long as their negative impulses are justified through this website, which they currently have free and unfettered access to.

  • Sentence reduction for Carol Chalk
    June 15, 2014 U.S. District Judge Harry S. Mattice Regarding: Carol Chalk I am making an official plea for mercy for my sister Carol Chalk. Carol Chalk arrested and charged with federal “drug” crimes. There is nothing in Carol’s history/background that poses a threat “serious or otherwise” to society. We are requesting she be offered alternative sentencing to imprisonment and/or incarceration as a first offense and no criminal background? Does Carol comprehend her actions and the laws presented to her including, but not limited to “all” evidence and how that evidence was obtained in her case? Does she understand the facts involved or said facts in the decision-making, main choices, does she weigh up the consequences of any choices and understand how the consequences affect her; and can she communicate her understanding? Does stress, grief, depression, certain medical conditions, hearing impairment, vision, etc. affect a person’s decision-making capacity? Does Carol articulate reasoning, is her comprehension consistent over time, and does she understand and/or comprehend consequences? (I’ve known Carol “all” of our lives and I know that she “does not” understand and/or comprehend this whole process. Carol is not a high profile criminal, sex offender, armed robber, serial killer, weapons dealer, and/or NOTORIOUS drug dealer. The streets are NO safer with her absence; in fact, clean ups should start where true “change and safety” can make a difference in society. She signed a “plea” that she absolutely did not understand. Carol is on medication for high blood pressure – Uncontrolled high blood pressure increases the risk of serious health problems, including heart attack and stroke. Carol is on medication for diabetes – If you have diabetes, no matter what type, it means too much glucose in the blood,although the reasons may differ. Too much glucose can lead to serious health problems. Carol has on-going female gynecological female issues I have been asked to write a letter of plea or explanation as to why my sister should receive a less harsh sentencing, but what do I say? How do I plea effectively to a system that appears determined to imprison and/or incarcerate Carol? How and when does change occur if not by those in a position to make change? I beg you on behalf of Carol’s family and her grandson to please be as lenient as possible or as the law allows. Carol’s criminal history category is not higher than a two and she does not have more than one criminal history point. Meredith and District Attorney don’t want Carol to receive the Safety Valve, but in Carol’s case no one was harmed during the offense, she has little or no history of criminal convictions, no violence or gun was used. Carol is not the leader, manager, or organizer of anything. The Safety Valve is to prevent people from getting more time than they deserve. Federal Prisons are overcrowded and almost half of all federal offenders are nonviolent drug offenders, not violent criminals. Judge we are asking that you sentence Carol as a nonviolent, low-level, first-time offender. We need to save space for violent and career criminals. Public safety is our main focus, concern, and goal, so shy sentence non-violent criminals the same as violent criminals. I know that God judges all. I have faith that he is working in this case as he works in every aspect of our lives. Thank you, Audrey R Harris

  • Frickin fracken
    Because as with drilling for oil, strip mining for coal, nuclear energy, fracking is so misguided and based on short-sighted greed and in no way benefits our planet and life on it.

  • Signs Save Lives: Zoning Bylaws to Allow for Lost Pet Signs
    Currently many communities have zoning bylaws in place that prohibit the posting of lost pet signs. I have been impacted by these bylaws. Two and half years ago, my Siberian husky, Bridgett, went missing and these zoning laws cost me thousands of dollars and impeded my ability to locate and trap my dog. I am not alone in this. There are many, many pet owners fighting the same battle. I am a certified Missing Animal Response Technician trained by Kat Albrecht, the founder of Missing Pet Partnership. I am also the team leader for their Lost Pet Consultants. I understand missing animal behavior and know how long they can survive on their own. These bylaws need to be amended. There is a simple win/win solution for the communities and the pet owners. All we want is to bring our pets home. Let's make this happen.

  • We want King on the $20 bill!
    It's appalling that the same man who forced almost 50,000 Native Americans off their lands and forced them on a death march is still honored on our currency.
