Honor our heroes! Many service members are not receiving full disability benefits / Members retired under special rules from Chapter 61 of Title 10 of U.S. Code. This bill has been held up and not allowed to be introduced to the floor for vote for several years now (all we ask is that a vote be allowed on this bill). Under current rules, military disabilty is off-set or "reduced" by the amount received in compensation from the Veterans Administration, (VA). This can amount to 50% of the payments receive from military disability. Under this arrangement, many service members who have served as long as 19 years +, and who were medically retired due to the gravity of their injuries or disabilities, are losing their retirement, in lieu of their disability compensation. Why are these heroes, who paid a bigger price, being penalized when their counterparts who served 20 years of service do get both? There is hope! H.R. Bill 303 Retired Pay Restoration Act (2013-2014). This bill restores military retirement pay withheld from these disabled veterans who also are eligible to receive disability compensation from the Veterans' Administration. For more information on this bill, you can go to: http://beta.congress.gov/bill/113th/house-bill/303 If you love your freedom, thank a Veteran and what a better way to do so than to sign this petition. Let's get this passed!

Even a minimal amount of research reveals that Fluoride is a harmful toxin known to cause cancer and other health risks, and we are being forced to drink it every day in our tap water because the companies that produce this toxic waste have convinced you it's good for your teeth. Many countries around the world, as well as many areas in the USA have recently demanded a stop to fluoridation, and it's time for the entire country to wake up and demand a stop to the mass "medication." I don't want fluoride in my family's water!

The Court's excessive new search fees burden public records access and fall disproportionately on the poor.

We have a society that ignores facts. It helps if the facts are ubiquitous and everywhere in evidence.

We Know People in my area that have been effected by bullying and when it ends up to have a life or death ending it has gone too far and we want the bullies to know what they did

I am concerned about the future of HECO. I think the public utility is important to all of us, and they are not moving to face the future fast enough. The recent problems with the delay of rooftop solar for a lot of people I know demonstrates how badly HECO needs to modernize.

As the legislation is written, IHSS Care Providers will not be allowed to work more than 40 hours per week. At the limited wages currently, quality of care will be effected, requiring outside providers to fill the gap. Very often there is no qualified outside help. If we go over the hours we will be penalized.

Due to the physical and mental health and well being of the artists in SM Entertainment Exo-M Leader and fellow Exo member Kris (aka Wu Yi Fan) filed a lawsuit against SM Entertainment. The exact proposal of the lawsuit has not yet been revealed to the public, but public speculation is that due to Kris's physical health condition he has filed for better benefits and pay as compensation to his physical and mental health and well being. This includes not only his physical health, but that of his fellow Exo members. Recently members SeHun, ChanYeol, and Kai has been injured physically during practices and/or live performaces. If you feel that SM Entertainment can provide better care and pay for their artists please sign this online petition.

Washington Park has been a health and fitness inspiring place for Colorado residents and known for its patrons love of sports like Volleyball, Football, Soccer and other mixed use. We the patrons of the park do not wish to be limited in our use or required to pay or apply for drop-in permits for a park that we already pay taxes to enjoy.

As a student of the University I appreciate how distinguished Johnson & Wales has become, based off of its tradition and values. For years now the North Miami campus has had a reputation for a professional dress code, where students "dress for success." Johnson & Wales is a school of endless opportunity, development and real life experiences. To keep these values the professional dress code should be reinstated.
