People all around America are using marijuana, both legally and illegally, as an alternative medicine to provide them with relief from their medical conditions. This petition was drafted with those people in mind, as well as the people who've been wrongfully punished and jailed for using marijuana in the past. As the creator of this petition, I've done my research and studied many cases of people who have Epilepsy and use medical marijuana potent in CBD (Cannabidiol) to provide them relief from their seizures; some of these people are actually CHILDREN whose parents say that traditional medications have failed them. The medicine stopped them from having 4-5 seizures a day and cut them down to 1-2 a MONTH. With your help, we can bring forth a natural and SAFE alternative to prescription medication, as well as generate revenue for our great state of West Virginia.

The playground was in bad shape when maintenance removed the slide and some other components of the previous playground on 12/23/12. However, they left the swings up which were dry rotted and were ultimately destroyed by the some of the teenagers. The swings were removed sometime in May or June, 2013. Meanwhile someone decided that the children broke the swings and that was a completely false statement. Those of us who live back here know exactly who broke the swings. The CHILDREN are our main concern. We don't want them playing in the streets where they may be hit by a motor vehicle and according the Owners own words this past weekend they are "not allowed to play or dig in the sand". We have to warn them every time they go out to play that they have to play in the grass but look out for dog crap (because there are a lot of dog owners that don't clean up after their dogs) or if you smell urine don't play in that area. They are almost completely out of places to play. When it was brought to the Owners attention that the reason that they were playing in the sand was because they had no where else outside to play since the playground had been removed and there had not been a new one installed in over a year now they simply said "we are looking into it". They get our rent on time. If they didn't they would be having us evicted. We understand that process. But they can't find the time nor the money to put in a playground before we go into summer break which incidentally begins sometime in May this year. We already don't have a usable pool back here. So what are the children supposed to do be cooped up in the house the entire summer because you the Owners won't see fit to get this playground situation resolved. You know it is an issue. If it remains this way exactly how many tenants due you think are going to continue to renew their lease? Several have said they will not renew if there is no playground for the children. Some are holding on for one more lease period to see if you the Owners will ever fix the playground issue. There is also a false advertising issue here in that your brochures say that you have a playground, and yet you do not. We pay our rent on time or we can be evicted. Yet we have been waiting over a year for a new playground and nothing has been done to replace the old one. That pressure treated lumber is awful. The remaining pieces around the sand box are rotted. Well I called it pressure treated, but maybe it wasn't and that is why it is rotting away. Regardless, we the tenants are Petitioning you the Owners to put in a new Playground for our children so they can play safely. We are requesting this be done before Summer break as several of us have already been waiting a year or longer for this situation to be remedied.

Because most everyone (members) on Yahoo is unhappy with the new purple format.

Happy is now making us all sick. Scientist now working on vaccinations but for now we need to avoid the song along with Pharrell's hat.

Rhode Island is already experiencing the impacts of climate change. Record setting summer heat waves, floods like those we experienced in 2010, storms like Hurricane Sandy and Irene, and sea level rise all impact Rhode Island residents. We need to plan ahead for climate change in order to achieve positive solutions that work for all Rhode Islanders, not wait until strife and necessity dictate our responses. Climate resiliency legislation would set our state on the path towards making our economy and society resilient in the face of climate change by creating a comprehensive and forward-looking statewide plan. We need our state and local government to consider climate change when making decisions, and this legislation would ensure that state and local government have the information and tools they need to protect Rhode Island's economy, public health, and welfare. Climate resiliency legislation would allow our state to both adapt to the impacts of climate change and mitigate future changes. By connecting mitigation and adaption strategies, we can take an innovative new strategy that allows for a truly comprehensive approach to helping our state turn the challenge of climate change into an opportunity for growth. The challenges posed by climate change can be overcome through cooperation and community decision making, but only if we are able to plan ahead for the challenges we face. Climate resiliency legislation is both a commitment and an opportunity to create a resilient and inclusive state. We call on the Rhode Island State Legislature to pass climate resiliency legislation and build a resilient, thoughtful path for our state that ensures that our economy, culture, and quality of life are protected from climate change.

My Newphew human rights was violated got called names and beaten on by a NYC police officer and chager with trustpassing taken to jail. He was waiting on his younger cousin in Dunkin Donuts. mean while he's coming from the YMCA hungry and just wanted something to eat from playing five hours of basketball. Yes this has hurt me he's a good kid just play basketball and school never been arrested for anything.

Most people don't even know why we have Daylight Saving Time. It is rumored that it saves energy, but there is no proof of this. In the Northwest, with the natural season changes, darkness can be at 4:30pm in winter to as late as 10:00pm in the summer. We don't need this additional headache of changing the clocks an hour in one day, when nature does it for us nice and gradually. There is no reason to keep this system in place, other than perhaps some Wall Street traders making a killing with some trades on those days. And, of course, those will be the people with the money to oppose this petition.

The ALLSolar Research Vessel Project is for The Natural Environment that supports ALL of US. It is a Real Focus for 'YOUR OCEANS NOW,' and is for The Children & Students of The World, because they are The Future Now!

it is about time that there be a change done about this. Mr. & Mrs. Obama talk about children eating healthy? why can't their incarcerated loved ones do the same?

I live in the OPNA neighbourhood, and along with my neighbours am very concerned

Tired of the hate mongering!

The New York State DREAM Act promotes equal access to education by extending eligibility for state financial aid to undocumented immigrants. Children who have grown up in New York and graduated from our high schools are being denied a fair chance. According to state law they are not able to qualify for financial aid, and thus for undocumented children attending college is a financial impossibility. The most common criticism of the bill is that it will take away "our" opportunities. But who is the us? The us that we high schoolers know are the people we grow up with, the peers we study with, and the teammates we play basketball with. Undocumented students are a part of our state. We all go to school together. We, the high schoolers, believe that everyone deserves a fair chance, and it pains us to see any of our classmates denied the same opportunities that we are. Officials estimate that extending financial aid would cost the state under $20 million yearly. That’s how much New York City spends fixing its potholes every five weeks. For a small cost, the New York State DREAM Act could create a more educated population. In the long run this would likely reduce the budget deficit, since the college-educated tend to be less of strain on social support programs and to contribute more in tax revenue. Furthermore, obtaining a college education could be a path to citizenship for many undocumented teenagers, many of whom were brought to the United States as very small children. The DREAM Act passed in the Assembly. It was supposed to go to a vote in the State Senate on April 1st. But on March 17th, the Senate, in a surprise move, took it to the floor—a political maneuver to kill the bill before pro-DREAM supporters had an adequate chance to rally for its cause. The vote—30 yeas and 29 nays—fell just two votes short of the 32 required for passage. But although the State Senate has already voted, the fight for equal access to New York State education is not over. Let’s start not just thinking about fixing our old potholes, but planning for our state’s future. The state budget will be passed this Tuesday, April 1st, and with your support, the DREAM Act will make it in.
