The reason why we are staring this petition is because many post office box holders are not receiving their mail on time, as well other important packages, we have had various people in town lose everyday utilities, cut off (ex. electricity, water, cell phones, etc..) we need to stop this. We hope service gets better and improves in many ways, either by reprimand or an official USPS change for a new worker to service this area.

It's time to reverse Reaganomics!

We are starting this petition because we believe that all children should get the best chance at success. Education should determine a person's future, not a youthful mistake in judgment.

I had booked a vacation which was cancelled by celebrity because their ship broke. I simply want a refund on the $730 plane ticket I bought. They "don't have my money anymore" and refuse to refund me for the ticket I was unable to use due to them canceling the trip. I just simply want my money back.

We, the owners and renters of properties on Fairchild and Berwick Avenues (Fairfield, CT), the same roads of the property that is the subject of this zoning case (the proposed 33-unit building by Berwick Fairchild and Associates, LLC), oppose the requested zoning changes, most importantly the following: -The addition of Sec. 10.16.13, which will increase the population in excess to the current density, it also being quadruple the bedroom density of the 54-unit affordable housing project called Fairchild Apartments, across from the proposed Berwick Fairchild Site. -The addition of 10.9.3, which in its vagaries, could allow for any building in a Residence B neighborhood to be converted into a multi-unit facility, even if the building was designed as a single-family residence. -The modification of 10.11, which will increase the building height to four stories, far in excess of any housing in the neighborhood. -The modification of 10.17.3, which eliminates the minimum number of affordable or market units, thereby violating the spirit of the affordable housing program within the town. -The modification of 28.6.1, which would allow the project to have one car spare per unit, far less than common sense indicates that the development needs.

When the Creator put all of the creatures out through our Sacred Spring on Bohem Puyuk (Mt. Shasta), Salmon gave her voice to Human. In return we are committed to use our voice to always speak up for Salmon. We are the people of the Winnemem (McCloud) River watershed on the South side of Mt Shasta, in Northern California. In our language Winnemem Wintu translates to Middle Water People as the McCloud River is bounded by the Upper Sacramento to the West and the Pit River to the East. We were born from water, we are of the water, and we fight to protect it. We continue to pray and hold ceremony at our traditional sacred places that remain accessible to us. Our lands were taken, without compensation, when the Shasta Dam was completed in 1945 and flooded our beloved river home. www.winnememwintu.us

There are certain rules fishermen must abide by, such as, people only being able to catch six Striped Bass at a time or there being a certain size fisherman can catch. By removing these restrictions the number of Striped Bass in the Delta and San Joaquin River will be reduced. Since Striped Bass mostly feed on Salmon, after removing many of them from the water, Salmon population will be able to expand. Considering that Striped Bass is the most abundant predator, Salmon will be able to increase the size of their population after restrictions on Striped Bass are removed, therefore, bringing more Salmon to the San Joaquin River and Delta. Environmentally, this will benefit the Delta and San Joaquin River’s population of fish. There will be reduction of the amount of Stripped Bass in the Delta however, there will be an increase of Salmon. Economically, there will be more jobs for fisherman. There will also be more fish making the cost of Salmon decrease as well as the cost of Striped Bass.

AB 1513- a proposed bill that would change the way evictions happen in the state of California, making it faster and easier for landowners to remove residents from our homes. AB 1513 allows property owners to initiate an extrajudicial eviction of residential property by submitting a written declaration to law enforcement. Under current law a property owner has the ability to request removal of trespassers pursuant to Penal Code section 602(o), and law enforcement has the discretion to determine if probable cause exists to remove such occupants. Property owners would no longer have to take people to court or give meaningful notice to have us removed from our houses. This law is extremely unconstitutional and anti-tenants rights! There is no need for this law because current trespass laws provide adequate protection to property owners! The bill goes up for a vote by the Judiciary committee April 29th!

The proposed student housing project would displace 200 people living in the Arrowhead trailer park. Without the low income housing to absorb newly displaced people, their lives will be completely pulled up from under them. If rezoning is approved, the large developer wants to negotiate one-by-one with the homeowners, leaving these families in a position to be taken advantage of. This type of behavior is unacceptable in the community of Flagstaff, and we need to stand up for the most vulnerable people of our community.

One of the world's biggest social good foundations is contributing to one of society's biggest ills — the private prison industry. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Trust has invested more than $2 million in GEO Group, one of the largest and most abusive private prison corporations in the United States. GEO makes a business of jailing those with the fewest resources, profiting from their labor, stripping them of their dignity, and leaching precious human capital from already-distressed communities. GEO Group and other private prison companies have a perverse profit motive to drive criminal justice and immigration policy towards more incarceration of citizens and immigrants in prisons, jails, and immigrant detention centers. They spend millions of dollars — dollars provided in part by investors like the Gates Foundation Trust — lobbying local, state, and federal governments to institute longer sentences, to incarcerate more people for minor crimes, and to terrorize immigrant communities. If that weren't bad enough, GEO's prisons are notorious for their awful treatment of prisoners. Accounts of sexual assault, physical abuse, medical neglect, rotten and inadequate food, forced signing of immigration papers, and death have been well-documented at GEO facilities. A federal judge called the inhumane conditions at GEO’s now-closed Walnut Grove Youth Correctional Facility, "a picture of such horror as should be unrealized anywhere in the civilized world." In light of this evidence, it is shocking that the Gates Foundation Trust would maintain its investment in the GEO group. The Gates Foundation prides itself on the good it does in the world. But this investment fundamentally contradicts the Foundation's stated mission: to "ensure that all people — especially those with the fewest resources — have access to the opportunities they need to succeed in school and life." If enough of us speak out now, we'll be able to create a powerful media narrative that exposes this contradiction and shames the Gates Foundation Trust to withdraw its investment. Join Presente, Enlace, and 25 other organizations in calling on the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Trust to immediately withdraw its investment in the GEO Group.

Every working person deserves a living wage and an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy and well-connected. Join with me in calling on our state legislature to pass legislation to raise the minimum wage to $11.”

“Our state's current minimum wage is $8. That's not enough and completely disproportionate to inflation and other financial realities. We deserve an economy that works for everyone. Join with me in calling on our state legislature to pass legislation to raise the minimum wage to $12.” (or higher!)
