I am deeply concerned about the fate of many men and women from India and other developing countries who are being used almost like slave labor in Dubai, Abu Dhabhi, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states

So many people meet someone after they are incarcerated. All I am really asking is for these people to be treated equally when it comes to visiting their loved ones. It seems like the only ones that get approval are the ones that lie - We screwed up and told the truth and we're going into year 2 of fighting to see each other. If you feel that the truth should be the best route, please sign and forward to everyone you know. These men and women are paying the price for their crimes but if they're going to even make an effort to do better, they HAVE to have something that drives them. I know that visitation is one of the biggest incentives they have. The "system" can't expect good results when they don't even allow the privileges that these guys earn.

I am doing an IB Exhibition Project for school (5th grade, Fernbank Elementary). My project is about the 1996 Summer Olympics. I would like to save something so amazing from one of the greatest Olympics in history. This tower can't just be torn down with Turner Field. Help me save this landmark!

I have a wife who suffers from lupus and renal failure. We carry two different types of insurance, and in the past have had three. Although current with having paid needed premiums, we are frequently sued for medical bills denied by the insurance companies. When being sued or trying to determine why the insurance companies denied claims, we are faced with the impossible task of trying to dechifer cryptic billing codes that cannot be interpreted by a lay person and or by a court. Thus, you are left with, "Well, you know the bill is your responsibility". In addition, these companies rotate between being primary and secondary. We have had claims denied because both insurance companies are declaring the other to be primary. The consumer should never be in the middle of this as they end up the loser by having to unfairly pay both the premiums and the medical bills.

Because the way illegal immigrants are treated by the immigration. What they doing its a crime, separating families breaking them apart.

How do you put a price tag on democratic access to the powerful medium of television? For the last three decades, Tucsonans have been lucky enough not to have to answer that question. For nearly 30 years, Access Tucson Community Media has offered an open forum for recording and presenting the political, artistic and cultural life of Tucson on TV, including the City's own information channel, Channel 12. And the best part? Access Tucson is funded through cable franchise fees and donations, NOT CITIZEN’S TAX DOLLARS. The only contribution the City makes is a small operating budget as well as the building space Access Tucson shares with Channel 12. Unfortunately, the recent 2015/2016 budget proposed to City government would eliminate all funding for Access Tucson and force it to shut its doors as of June 30, 2014. If Access Tucson dies, we ALL lose an irreplaceable community resource, including a 30 year video archive of Tucson history created by Tucsonans, a free and accessible community media education center & gathering space, and a one of a kind resource for "newbies" to learn how to produce, create and distribute independent media. By losing the independent voices who now speak via Access Tucson, we lose not just a source of news and information, but a two way conversation between viewer and content creator, something that only non commercial community based channels can offer. This will not just be a loss for the Tucson community, but another nail in the coffin for independent media everywhere. For profit companies, whether large or small, should not be the only ones allowed to speak. We ALL need independent media. Is Tucson really willing to put a price on free speech and independent voices? Or will we remain steadfast in keeping community media accessible to all, rich or poor, popular or overlooked, young or old? Please sign this petition to the Mayor and City Council letting them know that we still need Access Tucson!

Here are the reasons for Hutch's motion to ask Alachua County to challenge the proposed Minimum Flows and Levels (MFLs). You may also want to call the commissioners. To contact the commissioners: (352) 264-6900, or contact Comm. Byerly directly. Your petition will be sent to the commissioners. - - - - Motion: The Alachua County Commission authorizes the filing of a petition to challenge the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's proposed Minimum Flows and Levels (MFL) rule for the Lower Santa Fe and Ichetucknee Rivers. This action is necessary because: 1) the proposed rule exempts all existing large water users, including utilities and agriculture, from the statutory requirement now in place to demonstrate that their use won't cause significant harm to our water resources; and, 2) the proposed rule prevents the water management districts from even considering, during the consumptive use permitting process, the impacts from these uses on our water resources. Furthermore,3) Alachua County should participate in the Public Hearing regarding the proposed MFL Rule scheduled for April 3rd in Live Oak 4) Alachua County should schedule our own Public Hearing on April 1st to accept input on the proposed MFL rule, and receive suggestions for our position on proposed bills on water-related issues 5) Alachua County should oppose the bill to exempt the MFL rule from the ratification process 6) Alachua County should authorize Staff and our Attorney to participate in the Joint Administrative Procedures Committee process

The historical and aesthetic significance of the original Godzilla score in the context of the approaching 2014 remake CORRECTION: The Footsteps of the Monster were not a Bass Drum. Instead, it was an amplifier box which was struck. Ifukube himself referred to the device as "the Magic Box" on the original Godzilla manuscript score.

I am the Campaign Director of GMO Free NY (www.gmofreeny.net and www.facebook.com/GMOFreeNYnet). Our mission is to advocate for the passage of a GMO labeling law in NYS. We are a founding member of the NY GE Food Labeling Campaign (http://gmofreeny.net/nygelabelingcampaign.html). GMO labels will give us the information we need to decide whether we want to continue being the unwitting guinea pigs of agrichemical and junk food companies. GMO labels will put the power back in consumers' hands, which is where it belongs. It's time for NY's lawmakers to stand up to corporate bullying and put people before profits.

It has been tested and proven that Garamond font uses LESS ink per letter. With one simple change, the federal government could save millions per year and help protect the environment by changing their standard font to Garamond. Seems simple to me, what would you do with $136 million?

Aura will separated from her 3-year-old son Edwin. On Friday December 15, 2013, Aura was told by ICE in Baltimore, Maryland to pack her bags and say goodbye to Edwin because she will be leaving the United States of America soon. Aura has and ankle bracelet put on her on December 06, 2013 like some criminal when Aura had no criminal record. I know that the community has the power to stop separating families. You can help keep Aura with her 3-year-old son Edwin. Aura has lived in Marylan since 2004. Aura has worked really hard all of these years to provide for Edwin and to see him go to school. Aura dream is to see Edwine go to college and be an attorney, doctor, or Engineer. Aura can only dream, she is a single undocumented mother trying to make it for her son. In 2012, Aura was detained by Maryland police officers for driving without a license while Aura was working. ICE detained Aura for 4 days before being let go and then put into deportation proceedings. Aura spent 4 days in detention away from Edwin for wanting to change the future of her children. Like many of us Edwin wasn’t born in the United States of America with all of its opportunities. Aura took action and provided an opportunity for a better life for her children. In El Salvador Aura escape poverty, violence, and hopelessness for an opportunity of a better life. I would do the same and I know you would too. Please help keep Aura with her son, Edwin.

Ever wonder how JPMorgan Chase Bank makes so much money ($96 BILLION in Revenues in 2013)? One way is through Insufficient Funds Fees. What's most disturbing is HOW Chase accumulates this money: Through the unfair practice of processing any/all checks (highest amounts first, then lowest) BEFORE processing any/all deposits each night. With this policy in place, Chase customers can - if not careful - incur multiple Insufficient Funds (IF) Fees, when these fees could be minimized or negated altogether. How so? Here's an example: Let's say on Thursday night your Chase checking account has a balance of $50 but $1,000 dollars in deposits is set to come through on Friday. You also have two outstanding checks set to come through, one for $40, the other for $60. Chase will FIRST process the $60 check, which will put your balance at $-10 (and you'll be hit with a $34 IF Fee; now your balance is $-44) and THEN process the $40 check, which will extend your balance to $-84 (add another $34 IF Fee). When the dust settles, your checking account balance is at $-118 (and Chase just made $68). Only after that, will Chase process any/all deposits. As alternatives to this current policy, Chase could: A.) Process any/all deposits FIRST and then process any/all checks, or B.) At the very least, if Chase continues to process checks FIRST, do so in the order of lowest-to-highest amounts. Using the example above, if the $40 check was processed FIRST followed by the $60 check, a customer would only incur one $34 IF Fee. If you believe this Chase Bank policy is unfair to its customers, I would appreciate your signature as well as your help in forwarding it on to others to sign. Thank You! Dan O'Bryan
