As volunteer guardian ad-Litems working with some of the 6 million children reported to child protection in the U.S. each year, we believe that promising children the basic rights of safety and health care will solve our nations problems with violence, crime, education, and public safety and make life better for all of us (and it is the right thing to do).

REASONS TO SUPPORT THIS PETITION 1. CLIMATE CHANGE WON’T WAIT FOR NEW THINKING 2. NOBODY VOTED TO DESTROY HISTORIC STADIUM 3. FEDERAL LAWS ARE SUPPRESSING CANDLESTICK INVENTIONS 4. STATE LAWS ARE ALLOWING DEVELOPERS TO CHEAT 5. SAN FRANCISCO IS HIDING ITS SUPPRESSION OF INVENTIONS 6. CITY HALL IS RUSHING DESTRUCTION TO HIDE SUPPRESSION 7. KIDS NEED TO SEE ADULTS THINK OF THEIR FUTURE 8. ETHIC OF CONSERVATION NEEDED TO BATTLE GLOBAL WARMING 9. REJUVENATION OF EXISTING STRUCTURES NEEDS PROMOTION 10. WESTERN CULTURE IS STILL CONSUMING TOO MUCH FOSSIL FUEL 11. WESTERN CULTURE IS OBLIGATED TO HELP SLOW CLIMATE CHANGE ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: UPDATE ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: September 8, 2014 APOLOGIES TO SIGNERS: The authors of this petition – Richard and Judy McRee of Eureka Valley, San Francisco – have returned after experiencing some months of further suppression of their U.S. Patent for a new green technology inspired by Candlestick – renewed suppression this time owing to the interference of a compromised Federal Magistrate in their 9-year struggle to defend their own work in the face of unconstitutional U.S. Patent Law that has allowed and enabled that suppression, and which has consequently deprived American Industry and Culture of any benefit from the energy-saving inventions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`` NOT JUST A LOCAL ISSUE: -< This PETITION is far from simply a personal issue – it defines a State, Federal, and International issue that has relevance to everyone. Despite the above-mentioned further suppression, it has already been signed by individuals from France to Thailand, from the East Coast to the West Coast – people who recognize that Global Warming has been caused by bad habits like excess consumption of fossil fuel and the unnecessary destruction of sound structures like Candlestick. All unnecessary destruction contributes to increasing Climate Change. There is no Magic Fuel; no Magic Product; no Magic Legislation that will fix the problems that old habits have caused. New habits and awareness are needed. Proper legislation is nevertheless vital. UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY: -< President Obama, Governor Jerry Brown, and San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee have a unique opportunity with this PETITION to help set our culture on a new path to help better address climate change. By temporarily suspending the impeding demolition of historic Candlestick Park, they will allow time to investigate how long-outdated Federal and State legislation allows the unnecessary destruction of Candlestick Park and the suppression of its related inventions for new Green Industry. “NO BRAINER”: -< With the support of signers like you, many good things can happen. A moratorium can require San Francisco to back up a bit in its headlong, politically-motivated rush to destroy a useful and valued civic structure worthy of rejuvenation and respectful integration with proposed surrounding development. Our petition is not asking for anything unreasonable. Master Planners know that it is much easier and often wiser to modify existing plans before bulldozers create an irreversible and expensive mistake. AMERICAN SOCCER POPULARITY GROWS: -< Some have claimed that soccer simply won’t work at the existing 69,000-seat Candlestick Park. However, the new stadium in distant Santa Clara just hosted an international soccer match that drew 67,175 fans – S.F. Chronicle, Sep 7, 2014, p. B9). There are over 100 soccer teams in the Bay Area. PROMISE: -< Talented local Architects, Planners, and Engineers can open new doors of wonderful possibilities for our economy and culture. A Federal/State Moratorium can create some simple policy shifts that will help our Culture reorient to an exciting and imaginative Conservation Ethic instead of a habitual cycle of Destruction-Replacement touted by some as essential for a notion of “Progress” that presently rules the day among moneyed interests of the World. 35 YEARS OF WARNINGS: -< Today - thirty five years after the early warnings of Climate Change in the 1970’s - there is no longer any rationale for continuing environmentally-destructive habits like unnecessary destruction. This PETITION can help open minds to intelligent alternatives to unnecessary destruction. One by one, attitudes can change, and the President, Governor, and Mayor are now on respectful notice to act. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: F.Y.I. ==== PREVIOUS POSTINGS You may wish to cut/paste to your own file for further detailed study ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: May 19 -26, 2014 America only has one person for every twenty other people in the entire world. …yet it has habitually consumed almost one out of every three barrels of oil. Too many of us delude ourselves that American culture has no more accountability for climate change than anyone else. …however, “one out of every three barrels of oil” equates to four inches for every foot of the sea rise predicted to impact billions of people as the world’s ice melts on account of using fossil fuel like oil. In either a court of law or a court of ethics, America would appear to be held accountable for the disparity. Saving and extending the useful life of Candlestick for many decades instead of destroying it will demonstrate how to not only conserve “embodied energy” but also create green technology and green jobs for dealing with the dramatic changes that humanity is now facing – largely because our own culture over the past four decades has waited too long to assess the true cost of unnecessary destruction that is done in the name of “Progress” – such as Candlestick if we do not stop its demolition and seek a better way. … The world watches … and knows the Truth. When America admits and acts on the Truth, there will be new possibilities and opportunities for creating Good Will and Green Progress. … Saving Candlestick Park can help show the way. :::...

Asia Pacific Resources International (APRIL) is Asia Pulp and Paper (APP)'s main competitor, APP has recently committed to end deforestation while APRIL still hasn't. It is important for both our future climate and endangered species of animals that we get APRIL to commit to a zero deforestation, zero peatland, zero human exploitation policy.

The Allegheny Valley School District is considering starting renovations at Colfax upper elementary that will cost an estimated $6.4 million. The other solution is to renovate the other two existing schools to compensate for the students at Colfax, which will cost half of what it costs to renovate Colfax. The means for funding these renovations include increasing taxes, obtaining bonds, and taking from various school funds (including technology). It is the purpose of this petition to demonstrate the public opposition to renovating Colfax, and to highlight the need for a definite plan of action before committing to a decision that will affect everybody from student to community member.

The compositions and methods of US # PATENT 7597910 are endorsed by Jonathan David Lake, Cancer survivor who benefited from medical grade cannabis utilized in this patent. The natural plant is well-documented in scientific journals around the world for medicinal properties and recently endorsed by Dr. Sanjay Gupta. We request an exemption to legally cultivate our certified and tested strain in patent 7597910. Job creation would be immediate and tax revenue would be significant. Recent polls show an overwhelming favor in medical grade cannabis. In advance, thank you.

Extremely high electric bill. I cannot afford these bills. Please HELP!!!

Last year, under pressure from the oil industry, the California Legislature failed to pass a moratorium on fracking. Since then, fracking has continued to expand in California, putting our communities, our water supply and the environment at risk. Californians have another chance to pass a fracking moratorium bill. Senators Holly Mitchell and Mark Leno introduced SB 1132, a strong moratorium bill that, if passed, will protect California from fracking and other dangerous well stimulation techniques. We have a real opportunity to pass a moratorium this year. The oil industry will spend huge amounts of money and political capital fighting this bill, so we need your help. The first State Senate committee hearing is on April 8. We need a yes vote to move SB 1132 forward. Sign the petition to urge our California elected officials to vote yes on SB 1132 for a fracking moratorium now.

Because of FATCA (the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act), many American citizens who reside abroad have been denied bank accounts (or had them closed) by banks which don't want the hassle of responding to this U.S. law. This makes it very hard to conduct normal life. Americans who are also citizens of another country may also naturally retain bank accounts in their former home country, because they might vacation there, have a business there, etc. FATCA should be closely targeted on tax evaders (and terrorism supporters), not on middle class citizens living normal lives. Besides signing the petition, you can also help by submitting stories and especially documentation of problems (e.g., letters from banks denying new accounts or closing old ones) to Stanley Grossman at THANKS!!!

This is a petition against the closing of Sipsey Jr. High School

Davidson College has very few formal resources available for individuals interested in pursuing law after graduation. As a member of the Pre-law Society e-mail list, I have been confronted with how unorganized the process is. Davidson students interested in attending law school after graduation should have more formal resources in the form of an organized Pre-Law program with an advisor similar to the Pre-Med program already on campus.

Living in Los Angeles, my small children are forced to view enormous graphics of serial murderers holding knives dripping with blood, dead bodies, vampires and other various forms of the "undead," barely clothed models in overtly sexual positions, and a whole other host of inappropriate and terrifying images and texts. I can choose what television programs, books, and magazines my children view. There is regulation in regards to content for children's television shows and commercials played during these shows. Yet, I have no control over the images or words my children see every day as they walk on the sidewalk, look out the car window, or travel on public transportation, and there seems to be little to no regulation for these advertisements. Also, as advertisements change often, I never know where the worst offenders will be; I have avoided certain intersections because of a particularly disturbing billboard, only to find a new equally disturbing image plastered up along my alternate route. Children (and adults) should not be subjected to violent and sexual images in public spaces. Please create more stringent regulation on billboard and other public advertisement. Thank you!
