• We want a brewpub at the Daughtrey's building!
    To let Supervisor Miley and any potential developer know we won't settle for a dollar store, park area or any other inferior project. We'd really like a brewpub, but our focus is having a business/merchant occupy the Daughtrey building that will enhance our downtown area.

  • A Living Wage and benefits for Adjunct Faculty in Higher Ed
    Adjunct Faculty make up 70% of the faculty at Colorado Institutions of Higher Ed. They receive ridiculously low pay and no benefits. This does not encourage the best teachers to teach. This is a glaring inequity that undermines our Higher Ed system.

  • Keep the Romeikes in the US - Say yes to freedom of education!
    Governmental interference is not a right! Tyrrany, even by our western allies, is still tyrrany! I would not want the U.S.A to say I cannot educate my children as I see fit. By condoning other countries, we are one step away from allowing this invasiveness in our country.

  • Help me become a citizen
    I Christopher Ludvigsen from Denmark have a dream of joining the US Air Force as an officer, but in order for that to happen I must first be a US citizen. I love America and always have for as long as I remember so I don't just want to join any military, I wanna join the USAF The process of naturalization requires me to have been a permanent resident and green card holder for five years; not only is this difficult but I would like to start my career in the Air Force as soon as possible. Currently I am residing in MS, USA as an exchange student living with a host family. My plan was for these people to adopt me and partition for my citizenship. Well; turns out that I the adoption has to have been completed before I turned 16 which unfortunately happened last August. Now all I ask is for the American government or whoever this concerns to look at my case and make a single exception and allow me to become a citizen somehow more easily. Maybe even let my host parents adopt me and after two years apply for citizenship. Two years that I would expect to spend in college getting my bachelors degree. All I wanna do is serve in the American military and have a good life in America. Thank you -Chris Ludvigsen

  • Large Campaign Contributions
    We see enormous amounts of money pouring into fundamentally unproductive but increasingly expensive political campaigns at the same time that we worry constantly about the national debt. If the contributors of large sums to campaigns are truly concerned about the economic health of our nation, they should be doing at least as much to address the national debt SUBSTANTIVELY as they are doing to help elect their favored candidates.

  • Change 5th year to optional year of US clinical training
    By making the 5th year program an optional year of US clinical training; 1) Students will be able to continue participating in an additional year of US clinical training where they can procure needed US experience and letters of recommendation. 2) Students who do not need additional US clinical training or letters of recommendation can enter their respective residencies a year earlier.

    All Knicks fans have been effected by this. They way this team has been playing is an embarrassment and It All starts with James Dolan. He is the WORST OWNER in NBA HISTROY and does not care about Winning Championships and only about selling tickets. We need a New Owner a new General Manger and a new coach. How someone does not trade A leaving Carmelo Anthony is beyond delusional. So Please Adam Silver we urge you to FORCE James Dolan to sell the Knicks to Knicks so we can start from scratch and begin the rebuilding process. We are Die hard Knicks fans and only want what is best for our team. Hopefully you see this and WILL MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

  • Colonial Racial Reclassification laws
    Racial classifications of American Indians were reclassified as Negro and colored during colonial years, and they were denied the ability to claim their heritage by state laws that were prejudiced against Native Americans. We today, are not the descendants of Africans. We are American Indian descendants and we demand the embracement and embracing of tribal blood and heritage like every other member of federal and state recognized tribes without having to deal with prejudices and racism.

  • Equal Speech: Remove Money from Politics
    We the people have had enough corrupt politicians who listen to corporate donors rather than their own constituents. We aim to prevent corruption by amending the Constitution so money isn't considered a form of speech, but a form of bribery in the political process, and by establishing a fund to pay for election campaigns, with every candidate for each respective office getting the same amount of money for their campaigns, and only that money to pay for their election campaign, no exceptions. This fund would be paid for with taxes, which can come from 1% of our nations ridiculously high defense budget, being roughly $48 Billion or from taxes on cannabis, etc. With this fund, it ensures that everyone has a fair shot at being elected, not just the wealthy, or those with corporate backing. This is an incredibly important issue, especially when you consider the fact that during the 2012 election cycle, more money was spent on elections than ever before, and several individuals gave over $1,000,000 directly to candidates election funds. The Koch Brothers included. Other contributors include Altria Group and Blackstone Group giving $25,000 and $60,500, respectively, to Eric Cantor, Wells Fargo and Occidental Petroleum, giving $10,250 and $35,000, respectively to Nancy Pelosi, etc. http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/contrib.php?cycle=2012&type=I&cid=N00007360&newMem=N&recs=20 http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/summary.php?cid=N00013131 http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/summary.php?cid=N00003675

  • Baxter Area E85 Return
    I have been in contact with a few owners of gas stations in the Baxter/Brainerd area that seem interested in bringing E85 fuel back to the area, But they need to know the demand for it. Which is a huge concern as thousands of people all around Minnesota and the neighboring states relied on getting E85 in our area for events at Brainerd International Raceway and to visit the area, also many locals are affected by this. This hurts the local economy as well. We see tons of traffic come through the area in the summer and many of those people rely on E85 for their vehicles. E85 is in huge demand in the brainerd lakes area. We need to bring it back.
