The students, parents, players, teachers, friends, and family of Jon Rich believe that he should not be fired as the head Varsity football coach due to the fact that he is supportive and puts his players ahead of himself. The well being of the students at LHS should always be a top priority, and by firing Jon Rich, that well being will not be a priority any longer.

There are relentless congressional efforts underway to privatize social security and to get the public to readily go along with it, you hear politicians say things like, “Entitlements are killing us!” “We have to reform entitlements!” “The debt is unmanageable.” “We have too much debt and we must reform entitlements!” “Social security is going to go broke!” “We can’t keep paying social security benefits at the same rate we’re paying now – we’ll go broke!” It’s all hype designed to scare you into letting those nice folks in Congress “take care of us poor hapless minions that haven’t a clue how to save ourselves from this very dismal future!” Malarky! I’m going to educate you a bit so you’ll know what it’s all about and how we’re going to fix it! But you have to help! You have to make noise! Your congressional representative and Senators have to know that you are serious and will vote their asses out of office if they don’t start taking care of the 95% of Americans that don’t make enough money to hit the cap on social security taxes! Too easy! Social security (OASDI – the Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance) part of the fund, in 2012, had a reserve of $2.732 Trillion dollars! While it’s true that we are beginning to pay out more than is taken in, we are about two plus decades away from running the fund out of money at today’s rates of inflows and outflows. But guess what? SOCIAL SECURITY DOES NOT ADD ONE PENNY TO THE NATIONAL DEBT! The TV hype, regardless of your party affiliation, will make you think that social security spending is very bad indeed and it seems many Americans think it increses deficit spending. IT DOES NOT! NOT ONE PENNY! Yes, it’s true, Social Security and Medicare together is about 38 percent of federal budget expenditures but so what! This is our money that we gave to the Governemtn for the sole purpose of providing needed social program services! But it drives them nuts to think that there is $2.7 Trillion dollars just sitting there not being used by banks and financial institutions to gamble with! And with that gambling (privatization) comes very sizable kick-backs to members of Congress for having privatized Social Security to begin with! Wow! What a windfall for corporate interests! hey, Here's $2.7 Trillion dollars you can go play with! Some in congress want to start a "voucher" system for Medicare payments with a lifetime benefit cap! Ever been cut off or denied a procedure or medical service by an insurance company? What do you think will happen to social security if privatized? Privatization means FOR PROFIT not FOR PEOPLE as it is today! How to make sure social security stays around forever? Too easy - get rid of the cap on social security wages! Those top 5% of earners in America that make more than $113,700 per year do not pay any additional social security taxes. In other words, as a percentage of their income, they pay less than you do (lower rate). Does that sound fair? Mitt Romney, for example, pays ZERO social security taxes – all of his income is derived from financial investments, which are not taxed for social security. Warren Buffett the same, Bill Gates and many others but just a few names you may recognize. Removing the payroll cap on Social Security taxes will generate an additional $100 Billion a year for social security and it will come from the top 5% of wage earners in this country. Most Americans won’t pay a dime more. Please support this petition and share with your friends. Let’s let our Congressional representatives know we want equity in the system and we want the cap on payroll taxes removed!

There are many buildings on campus that do not have have a centralized, accessible, gender neutral bathroom, making some community members choose a bathroom where they may be discriminated against or simply unwelcome, (because of their gender expression or the way they look.) No person at Lawrence should go through this situation day after day without acknowledgement and action taken! Sign this petition if you are willing to have at least one gender neutral bathroom in all buildings on campus available along side gendered bathrooms. SPONSORED BY CODA and GLOW

Rep. Gordon Denlinger, a Republican State Representative from Lancaster County, wants to amend the Pennsylvania Constitution to allow people to discriminate based on "sincerely held beliefs." According to Philly.com, under Denlinger’s proposed Freedom of Conscience Amendment, “employers, store owners, realtors, motel managers, etc., could deny jobs, groceries, homes or rooms to anyone (tall, short, pregnant, Catholic, Jewish, gay, Goth, Democrat, newspaper columnist) offending their beliefs. Just as long as those beliefs are ‘sincerely held.’” But the real reason for this bill is to legalize discrimination against LGBT people. Adding insult to injury, Denlinger introduced this outrageous idea on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. This is part of a move among some in the Republican Party to turn back the clock to the pre-Civil Rights Act period. We can't let this movement gain momentum. Tell Rep. Denlinger, and your State Representative that we don't want legal discrimination in Pennsylvania.

How Dare the corporate 1% not allow us and our representatives to see what they want us to approve. Do they think we're stupid? It's our job to stand up for ourselves.

Californians are being asked to reduce water usage by 25%. Fracking uses millions of gallons of water which is not recoverable. In time of drought, this usage is unacceptable. Regardless of your belief about the value of fracking, conservation and reassignment of the use of water is essential. Stop fracking's use of fresh water during the drought. Don't start any new fracking operations.

Because is not fair for hardworking people be left out of any benefits in this Beautiful Country. They have been contributing to its economy. If they came without documents is because they are looking for a better life for them and their families. They have been paying taxes, working hard, and earning their food with their work honestly. They are human beings, they are not criminals. They deserve the opportunity to become part of this country that historically has been compound with immigrants for all over the world. It just to take a look where all the United States citizens came from, except the Native Americans.

Since the disastrous Citizens United ruling, corporations and ultra-rich donors have been having a field day. Billionaires like the Koch brothers and Sheldon Adelson have poured unprecedented millions into elections, drowning out the voices of every day Americans. Rep. Sarbanes (MD) and Rep. Larson (CT) are introducing legislation to create a system of public financing of elections for Congress. Public financing of elections means ending the control of big money on our politics and guaranteeing that every voice can be heard. And with public financing, candidates could run for office without having a rolodex of millionaire special interest supporters. Democracy means one person, one vote -- not one dollar, one vote. Picture what Congress would look like if each of us had as much of a say as David and Charles Koch. Like what you see?

As parents in your district, we are writing to ask you to support expanding access to high quality preschool programs by co-sponsoring the Strong Start for America’s Children Act (HR 3461). We believe every American child deserves a fair shot at a good life and that starts with a high quality education beginning in early childhood. Recent studies show that kids who attend preschool not only do better in school as they grow older, they are also more likely to go to college and get a good job. Too many of our kids--and throughout the state--lack access to high quality preschool and are starting kindergarten a step behind their peers. Our school boards and California can’t make preschool accessible to all children by ourselves; we need your help. The good news is that the Strong Start for America’s Children Act would allow California to partner with the federal government to expand preschool education to nearly all of our kids. In our community it takes parents, teachers, businesses, churches and charities working together to ensure strong schools. Similarly, it will take many voices working together to expand access to high quality preschool for our kids. We urge you to co-sponsor the bipartisan Strong Start for America’s Children Act and put our kids’ education first. Expanding early learning is not only the right thing to do, it’s an investment in our future.

If you are not content to allow the Congressional Republican Conspirators and their co-conspirators in the Senate to blithely serve out their terms unpunished--who met in secrecy to conspire against President Barack Obama and who, in the worst display of one-party political brinkmanship and un-American, un-Patriotic activity in the history of the United States; who proudly announced their intent, via Mitch McConnell, to make every concerted effort to undermine President Obama's Presidency, his Administration, his agenda, and the will of the people of the United States who voted for him--then sign my Petition demanding that they all be impeached.
