This petition is mainly to help keep our money in our community of Decatur, IL. We have many empty lots for new stores and if someone opened a popular store it would help make money for our mall and community. Many people order online from the stores we do not have or go out of town for them, why can't we just bring them here or start a petition to see how many people really want Hollister to come to the Decatur, IL (Forsyth) mall.

NFL star Tim Tebow has made headlines for standing up for his religious beliefs and his passion for his faith. But he recently teamed up with notorious worker-abusing company T-Mobile to produce ads for the Super Bowl. Now, he has the chance to demonstrate the depth of his moral convictions by supporting T-Mobile workers who are fighting for their rights on the job. T-Mobile has been using “brutal psychological terror” on its workers -- like verbal abuse, threats, and, in one workplace, forcing workers to wear dunce caps and sit in a corner if they don’t meet their quotas. Many workers have reported suffering from migraines, stroke symptoms, high-blood pressure, anxiety and depression because of the abuse. It’s gotten so bad that in one town that doctors describe people as having “T-Mobile disease.” And when workers try to change their workplace environment, they’ve been fired, disciplined, and interrogated in basements and systematically told to not collectively voice their concerns. Tim Tebow isn’t shy about using his celebrity status to take controversial stances. Now, he should stand up for worker rights by cutting ties with T-Mobile, sending a message that he won’t support a company that treats its workers this badly.

Mrs. Lewis is incapable of providing a safe environment for the children in her kindergarten class. On Wednesday, January 29th my son went on a field trip with his class to Stockton to watch a play. At the end of the trip, she lost my son and his friend for a short period of time. While they were lost, they were almost hit by a car. Luckily for them and us, the bus driver happened to see them and get them to the bus safely. This is not the first time she loses a child. While teaching at Osborn Elementary, she lost one of her students. Her students are not safe under her care, she will not take accountability for her irresponsibility. After she found both children who were visibly frightened, she proceeded to yell at them. We have not received an apology from her or Walnut Elementary.

On January 2, 2014 The County of San Diego released an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) covering a massive industrial solar (CPV tracker technology) project destined for the Boulevard area of the County. 7,500 of these trackers are proposed at four sites covering 1500 acres; three of the sites border Scenic designated Interstate 8 and Historic Old Highway 80. Each of the Soitec trackers is 30 feet high and fifty feet wide. Despite being promoted as green, the project would be an “environmental catastrophe” on many levels as follows: • Unprecedented size and density of massive trackers will industrialize this scenic rurual area lining Old Highway 80, a state designated scenic highway and the entry to McCain Valley, a federal public recreation area. Bulldozing will destroy sensitive plants and wetlands, meadows, wildlife habitat and scenic views. • French developer Soitec and San Diego County are betting on 7,500 unproven CPV units, not yet commercially operational for any significant period at any other U.S. site. This fast- tracked project is due to start this year and doesn’t allow time for a careful environmental impact study. • Millions, perhaps even a billion gallons of water will be needed to construct this project and more water will be pumped to constantly clean and rinse these trackers. This heavy water use threatens to drain our aquifers—our sole sources of drinking water--all the way to Borrego Valley and turn much of the San Diego high back country into a desert. It’s outrageous to risk having residents’ wells run dry or water sources for wildlife dry up, given that we’re in the worst drought in California history and our Governor has declared a drought emergency. We should conserve our precious water resources. • Lack of water will impoverish people and devastate abundant wildlife including “endangered” Peninsular Bighorn Sheep, Golden Eagles, Borrego Pupfish and others that are “Species of Special Concern.” Deer, bobcat and mountain lions are also found in this area. • Glare will invade the land and create safety hazards and ruin vistas on I-8 and Old 80. These massive glaring panels are proposed just 100 feet from homes, some surrounded on two, three or even four sides. In the Mojave Desert community of Newbury Springs, Supervisors passed a moratorium to protect residents from glare due to impacts of large solar projects there. It’s wrong to force residents who value rural tranquility to be thrust into the middle of an industrial energy zone. • A project isn’t “green” if it endangers wildlife, destroys ecosystems and rural communities’ character. Solar panels belong in the urban environment where power is used – on rooftops and parking lots, or on reclaimed sites such as former landfills – not on wild and scenic lands that must be bulldozed to industrialize rural America. Our town is a canary in a coal mine – County Supervisors gutted our community plan over the objections of our planning group and residents—and the Soitec project is just one of several Goliath-scale energy projects proposed to decimate our wild and scenic places.

Lava sauce has been a huge part of my life and I loved Taco Bell for it. The Chipotle ranch is nothing like lava sauce and it brings me great pain to think that I can no longer enjoy Taco Bell the way I once did. I know many feel the same way but don't know how to express it. So I ask that Taco Bell brings back their amazing lava sauce.

The existence of the frack pit is an environmental travesty. Frack pits are a source of toxic waste-waters and cancer causing agents and pollute our environment through leakage, spillage, and evaporataion of toxic VOCs, thus contaminating water, soil, and the air we breathe. Frack pits are a danger to animal, plant, and human life and have no place in our Commonwealth. In place of the frack pit, all gas operators should be required to use some form of a closed loop system for waste storage. We, the undersigned, demand an end to the open impoundment or frack pit and demand PA place the health and welfare of its citizens above all other interests. To allow the continued existence of frack pits in our Commonwealth is unconscionable

There's a huge difference between posting news stories and straight up bullying someone. Especially if they're already at an all time low. For instance, Justin Bieber, TMZ is hurting an already depressed person and if he does anything or takes his own life TMZ can be charged for it, so why not stop it now so their harassing doesn't go any further?

I am new to Krabbes. Someone my father knows her granddaughter just passed away this jan 2014. Evalina Gonzalez was 2 years old and suffered so much. Even when they took her off life support she gave her best and lived three weeks more over the holidays. Evalina tried so why cant we in her memory. A young single mother at 23 shouldnt have to be alone fighting for her daughter when they have no cure. A simple test could have given her daughter a chance to live with less complications. This is a reason why we need to use our voice and speak on behalf of those who are no longer here. With your help make this possible. Dont be the next person left to fight for your child alone.

As we are sure you have been reading about in the news, Erie County Council has been asked to consider an Ordinance guaranteeing upwards of $35 million worth of bonds to be issued by Erie County Convention Center Authority to fund the construction of a hotel at the Bayfront Convention Center. In addition, it is important to note that the county has already guaranteed the initial $100 Million Dollar investment for the development of the Convention Center and the Sheraton Hotel. County Council’s action on this matter is imminent and we ask that you take a moment to consider whether this guarantee is in Erie County’s best interests. While the initial investment was controversial, and remains so now as the Sheraton doesn’t pay any property, county, or city taxes, the investment the public made has helped create a demand on the Bayfront for additional retail, entertainment and hotel facilities. Quite simply, the government has done its job. It has created an environment that now makes it attractive for private developers to continue to develop the Bayfront. Now, the Scott family, the largest hospitality developer in Erie County, with a proven track record is proposing a $150 Million Dollar Harbor Place project. This development includes entertainment, retail, office, residential, and the very hotels the Authority is looking for. Also, it is important to note that a privately developed hotel would pay taxes, and the proposed publicly funded hotel would not. In fact, upon completion Harbor Place development would pay approximately $4.8 Million dollars in taxes yearly. Now it is time for private developers, not government, to continue to develop the Bayfront. If the 200 room publicly funded hotel is approved, Harbor Place development will be in jeopardy. The county tax payers should not have to take on the burden of financing another hotel, when a private developer is ready to take this on. I ask County Council to NOT GUARANTEE the financing of a publicly funded hotel on Erie's Bayfront.

More than 20% of the country's population depends on the Ohio, Kentucky, and Mississippi Rivers and their tributaries for vital water supplies. Safeguarding these resources is essential to the lives and livelihoods of millions of people from Pennsylvania to Louisiana. Thorough analysis of routing alternatives and of the direct, indirect, and cumulative effects of the proposed “Bluegrass Pipeline” project is essential to protecting the public and land, air, and water resources from adverse effects of the construction and re-purposing of pipelines for this project. We, the undersigned, request that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in conjunction with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, undertake a comprehensive Environmental Impact Statement for the entire Bluegrass Pipeline project, ranging from Pennsylvania to Louisiana. We also request that the applicants Williams Companies, Boardwalk Pipeline Partners LP, and the Bluegrass Pipeline LLC be directed to refrain from engaging in any actions, including easement acquisition, that would prejudicially commit resources to one route prior to the conclusion of the analysis of impacts of alternatives (including no action).

The father of my child is serving life in federal prison for marijuana charges. He has four children who need him home. He is a non violent offender serving more time then a violent offender. I believe he is a good candidate for clemency.
