DRAMA IS A VALUABLE PART OF OUR CHILDREN’S EDUCATION, PROVIDING ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL BENEFITS WE SEE AS IMPORTANT TO OUR SCHOOL AND TO OUR CHILDREN SUCCEEDING IN LIFE. IT IS ONE OUT OF CLASS ENRICHMENT PROGRAM THAT REACHES ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS IN OUR DISTRICT, AND IS A UNIQUE PROGRAM IN WEST SONOMA COUNTY SCHOOLS THAT WE SEE AS AN ASSET TOO VALUABLE TO LOOSE.

We want Governor Cuomo to restore the Original Birth Certificate to every NY ADULT ADOPTEE. They DESERVE to know where they came from, their medical history, and it is their right to know.

This petition is for the legalization of the use of Marijuana for medical use or recreational use. I personally feel like there are more benefits to legalizing Marijuana than keeping it illegal. The main benefits are revenue for the government and freedom for users. There are also many jobs that can be created through the legalization of marijuana. Also with the fertile land in Virginia, the production of Marijuana products such as hemp could be grown not only in quantity but also quality, thus providing even more revenue and jobs. The medicinal values are often used to help with cancer patients, people who suffer from depression, insomnia, PTSD, MS, chronic joint pains, and many other physical and mental health problems. Yet it is still illegal; please show some support and sign.

I am running this petition to remove Joe Scarborough from the MSNBC morning. The time on air he is given is disproportionate to the target audience for the network. It seems to me a much better fit for the morning show would be "NOW" host, Alex Wagner.

*UPDATE: Three weeks ago, Santa Barbara. Last week, Seattle. This last weekend, Las Vegas. HOW MANY MORE? Take action now! In Santa Barbara, Richard Martinez lost his son and only child, Chris, when Elliot Rodger went on a deadly rampage, taking six young lives and then his own. “This death has left our family lost and broken,” said Martinez. “Why did Chris die? Chris died because of craven irresponsible politicians and the N.R.A. They talk about gun rights. What about Chris’s right to live? When will this insanity stop?” [1] Out of his unimaginable grief, this father found the strength to demand “immediate action” from our national leaders to curb gun violence by passing stricter gun-safety laws.[2] Martinez vowed, “I’m going to ask every person I can find to send a postcard to every politician they can think of with three words on it: Not one more… I’m asking people to stand up for something. Enough is enough.[3]” Our hearts break for Richard Martinez and all the families who lost their children to gun violence that day. Stand with Richard Martinez. Tell Congress: “I join Richard Martinez and demand immediate action to curb gun violence— NOT ONE MORE. Pass gun safety policies like comprehensive background checks on all gun purchases now.” We will send your message of support to Richard Martinez and to our national leaders in Washington, D.C.

[2] “Father of victim in Santa Barbara shootings to politicians: ‘I don’t care about your sympathy,’” Kimberly Kindy, The Washington Post, May 27, 2014. [3] Ibid.

The father of one of the victims from the UCSB shooting asked everyone to stand up and do something, so I am starting this petition: http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/father-of-victim-in-santa-barbara-shootings-to-politicians-i-dont-care-about-your-sympathy/2014/05/27/8a030d10-e5ad-11e3-a86b-362fd5443d19_story.html?tid=sm_fb Sign it. Send a message to your elected officials. Let's begin to end the madness.

I am Chairperson of the Environmental Committee of South Manasota/Sandpiper Key Association and we are all opposed to removing our mangroves. Please sign our petition to the Charlotte County Board of County Commissioners.

Last month 6 Santa Barbara students were killed, 3 with legally purchased handguns; 5 more were shot. Then? Shootings in Seattle, Las Vegas, and Portland. Congress needs to legislate reasonable and responsible controls on guns and ammunition -- common sense breaks on free and too-easy access to automatic and semiautomatic weapons. Lack of reasonable and responsible gun controls has no place in a free and safe society.

We are Communication Installers that care about our customers; we go the extra mile to meet their needs. Alcatel-Lucent is sub-contracting our jobs to third-party vendors that don't concern themselves with customer needs. Please help us prevent sub-contractors from hurting your company as much as they are hurting us.

Money in politics has destroyed our democracy. The corporations have a stranglehold on our legislators and the voice of the American People has been stifled. We have seen attempts to limit hard money and soft money. But it is always just a bandaid on a cancer. Every problem that this country suffers today is due to corruption and the outright bribery of the elected. When politicians have no financial gain to achieve by circumventing the public's wishes, they will get back to doing the work of the People who elected them.
