Getting permission to do a small home repair is absurd. Paying $75 for a permit for a Job that only costs $150 is Absurd. The county's proposal is overstepping into the personal business of our citizens. Lets Stop the Permit Fees for home repairs!

When our mothers, sisters, wives and daughters rights are attacked our entire society suffers. The Far Right Is Way Wrong!

Over the past years we have seen increasingly violent police brutality and also law enforcement trying to violate personal rights! Please sign this petition to let Gov. Mary Fallen that we will not have our rights violated anymore. This has worked in California by decreasing numbers of complaints on officers to around 60 %. This should be introduced in Oklahoma immediately.

This is our town. Businesses are leaving and taxes are going up. We are at risk of losing our schools. We will NOT improve unless we attract business and families. We cannot attract business and families with the arrogant and self-serving acts of Councilmen Molnar and Polsinelli making Springdale out to be a bunch of fools. We are better than that. Time for us to take a stand, together, and allow our collective voice to be HEARD.

We are asking the NC Utilities Commission and Duke Power to improve our delivery of electric power to modernize the electric power grid for the 21st century.

Now, under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, "exempt" or "salaried" workers can be forced to work unlimited amounts of overtime (OT) without being paid for it. * Pres. Obama wants to change the law for some workers. Information Technology (IT) workers should be included because often they work the longest amount of hours. * IT workers have to make up time for laid off workers, and for consultants who legally have to be paid for over-time. * IT workers are on-call evenings and weekends. * IT workers have to meet project plan targets for which management get bonuses. * IT workers frequently have to work around-the-clock, and 60 to 80+ hours per week. * The salary of IT workers is being driven down by Green Card employees and by the off-shoring of jobs. * Comp time is not the answer -- when available, it is often not allowed to be collected. * IT workers often have to sign contracts stating that they will not take paying part-time jobs, so that they can be available for non-paid overtime work. * On their own time, IT workers have to continually take classes to keep current with ever-changing technology. * Limiting OT hours would allow for more paid workers to be hired. * Paying for OT and/or for more workers would mean that more income tax money would be collected to help run the government. * The overly long work hours required could lead to health hazards.

We endeavor to use kindness as a catalyst to cultivate value for our communities. Acts of kindness creates a healthy social environment for people to inhabit. Kindness improves our quality of life both individually and collectively. We call upon the Illinois Legislature to authorize HR0900!

Some instructors in the Cal Poly physics department utilize an inefficient automated 3rd party system to assign and collect homework and quizzes. This system is eroding the teaching standards expected of instructors at Cal Poly, and the students are suffering because of it. As the engineers and scientists of tomorrow we deserve higher standards of education than slack alternatives like "Mastering Physics."

I lost my one in a half year old cousin Jeremiah last week because he choked on a egg. His father did not know CPR.

The Town of Tyre, NY adopted a law to allow a casino in the rural farming town of less than 1,000 people, against the will of the people. Backroom dealing without any regard for the residents of the town.....Hold them accountable!!!

As a child my mother faced great obstacles ranging from domestic violence to joblessness. My Pre-k learning experience provided the foundation for my social-emotional, intellectual development and success over my lifetime against the odds of poverty. The Highscope Perry study started in 1962, followed students with and without Pre-K until age 40. Those who went to Pre-K had higher earnings, were more likely to hold a job, had committed fewer crimes, more likely to have graduated from high school, to name a few of the benefits of the study!

There have been requests to sign this letter, so we decided to make it available for any faculty or staff members who would like to add their name.
