My Name is Emma Moseley, and I am 11-years-old. I attend The waverly School in Pasadena, am an owner of 2 pitbulls, and head up a community service club called Raising Hope. Breed specific legislation is equal to segregation....bigotry. This should be outlawed...not supported.

Horses are not covered by any standards of care for animals considered to be companion animals. They fall under the livestock designation. As such state laws and law makers hesitate to open this discussion on minimum standards of care for horses lest that open the door to all animal related farming practices. This is the opportunity to insure that states have a standard set of care guidelines for horse so abuse and neglect can be easily identified on the state and local level. Read California's minimum standards of care here: http://www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/ceh/docs/special/pubs-StandardsMOD2.pdf.

My children attend Liberty View Elementary School which is about to lose the privilege of having Service Dogs. I am starting this petition because I believe the Service Dogs we have had the opportunity to share our school with are an important part of the educational experience our children have at Liberty View Elementary. I think removing these dogs from our school will have a negative impact on our children. I believe these dogs provide the kids with a sense of warmth which enhances their learning experience.

After The Dallas Cowboys finished their third straight 8-8 season under head coach Jason Garrett, Jerry Jones has made it clear that he intends to retain Garrett and that he has no plans of ever stepping down from his General Manager position. He has made comments about how the team is putting on a "great show" with losses such as those to the Packers this season and that with the stadium in his back pocket, he has nothing to be ashamed of. He's also stated that he has done his best work as a General Manager the last few years. As true fans of The Cowboys who are proud of our winning tradition, this is unacceptable. The past few seasons have been characterized by one word: incompetence. We have an incompetent coaching staff and an incompetent General Manager. There is now a need to clean house from top to bottom and that starts at the top. We are unwilling to simply wait for Jerry to die. We demand that Jerry step aside and hire a real General Manager who is given complete control. We are out coached and out managed and this must end. Until such time as Jerry steps down, we pledge to keep every single dollar we have from ever winding up in the pocket of Jerry Jones. Recently, KTCK radio host Bob Sturm said it best, "The only person who can fix the real problems with The Cowboys is the only person who doesn't think The Cowboys have any real problems." We sign this petition to let Jerry Jones know that we disagree.

I do not believe human beings should be subjected to this type of treatment. They are incarcerated, for whatever reason, and are dependent upon their jailers to provide them food; Instead, they are given inadequate food that is not fit for human consumption.

When the Supreme Court ruled in "Citizens United v FEC", they opened the door to a torrent of corporate and special interest election spending. The Court’s decision allowed the creation of Super PACs, which became a vehicle for flooding elections with unlimited and sometimes untraceable money. As a result, in the 2012 presidential election, just 32 mega-donors -- giving an average of $9.9 million each -- were able to match the total giving of the Obama and Romney campaigns’ 3.7 million small donors. "Citizens United" handed a megaphone to a wealthy few, threatening to drown out the voices of everyday citizens. In Nebraska, federal campaign spending rose 56% between 2008 and 2012. Outside spending in Nebraska's 2012 U.S. Senate race exceeded $9 million, with 44.4% of that spending coming from undisclosed or only partially disclosed sources. Sixteen states and more than 500 municipalities have already passed local resolutions calling on Congress to pass a constitutional amendment that would overturn "Citizens United" and clarify that money does not equal speech. We have an opportunity to make Nebraska the 17th state to pass a resolution before the legislative session ends in March. It’s time for Nebraska to join the movement to protect our democracy.

What allows every great civilization the ability to thrive and prosper? The answer is finding a material that allows its user to evolve. This was true in the Stone Age, it was true in the Bronze Age, and it is was true in the Iron Age. The question remains has our evolution reached its ultimate potential? I would like to think that we have the ability to advance, however with the current laws and the Medias use of misinformation, we have proven that indeed, as a culture, that our ultimate potential may be forfeit. In 1937 the Bureau of Narcotics Commissioner Harry J Anslinger brought about accusations that Hemp needed to be banned because of its violent “effect on the degenerate races”. Yet in truth all the hemp in the world couldn’t get you high. So as a result, not only was Hemp banned, but Marijuana as well. Even though the AMA (American Medical Association) protested this ban, the current ban still exists for most states. So the question remains, why was hemp and marijuana banned? Is it because one acre of hemp can replace four acres of trees? Is it because NASA researchers have a fuel created from hemp that will eliminate between 50-70% of our oil consumption? Yes, these things are true. And let me remind you, hemp/marijuana more commonly referred to as cannabis, has the ability to be used in tens of thousands of applications. It is an alternative replacement for steel, it’s a replacement for wood, it’s a replacement for cotton, and the list goes on. Are you starting to get a sense of why it was banned, why Nixon brought about “The War on Drugs” to ensure that these corporations stayed in power? I know what your thinking, damn hippies! So let me tell you a story about a little girl by the name of Charlotte Figi. Charlotte suffers from a rare disease known as Dravet Syndrome also known as myoclonic epilepsy. This disease at one point in time caused Charlotte to have as many as 300 grand mal seizures a week. Desperate for a solution her father Matt did some research and found a boy with similar symptoms. He found that this young boy was given medical marijuana. Upon this discovery he turned to the Stanley Brothers in Colorado. The brothers were in the process of crossbreeding a strain of marijuana that was low in THC, the psychoactive compound found in marijuana, and high in CBD, also known as Cannabidoil, which is used to relieve convulsion, inflammation, anxiety, nausea, and inhibits the growth of cancer cell. Charlotte’s seizures went from 300 a week to 2-3 a month. Now are you really going to sit and pathetically attempt to defend the ban on Cannabis when this material has more potential to help our civilization than any other? Let’s look at this from another perspective, the economy. Where are the majority of our products made? It’s probably somewhere in Asia. Now I ask you, “What is the main reason prices have risen”? Does anyone really know? They say it’s because the materials needed to manufacture these products have increased in price. Did the Earth raise its prices? Doubtful, yet the shelf prices increase, and even though lowering the self price would increase sales, thus requiring more products to be made and enhancing the job market, the prices keep soaring. So how does Cannabis help? Hemp is very easy to grow, not to mention it reconstitutes the soil where it is grown, thus helping the soil recover from our conventional crops and pesticides. So let’s look at it this way, the average individual can grow an acre or less, with very little maintenance. From a manufacturing standpoint many new small businesses have the ability to rise up and create solutions for its use, even if the Copyright Office does get paid off to suppress their patents. Whether that be bricks, resins, or even beverages. But the best part is that these local businesses won’t need to order from large corporations or overseas, they’ll but need to go to the local Co-Op and purchase the hemp they need or just grow their own, as it can be grown most everywhere, and isn’t community what we are trying to get back to? But what this really does is put our countries financial edge back in the hands of the small business. What it really does it tell the rest of the worlds manufactures that sub-par materials will no longer be accepted! So with that I leave you to think about this, the Department of Justice has declined to take actions against Colorado and Washington State. There are approximately 15 states that have already put medical marijuana to use. It is proven that the initial law to get marijuana banned was done so though the guise of racism. The government used its judicial powers to help promote the financial growth of private corporations by banning cannabis, which in itself is a blatant insult to the freedom of choice that American’s consider an inalienable right. This being a relative fact since it contradicts our ability to hold sway on our own evolution as well as the cleanliness of our environment. And lastly, we know marijuana has opened the door to understanding the brain in not only humans but animals as well. This is done through the discovery of the endogenous cannabinoids; anandamide and 2-AG. It is these two chemicals that help the brain regulate and tune its own synaptic inputs. So what I want this petition to accomplish is to get each individual state, just as I want Kentucky to do with this one, and that is to fight for the legalization of all Cannabis products. I want the people of Kentucky to hold a public vote, not a private or sealed ballot vote, but a public vote where the People, the population itself, can be recognized. For this is the only way that the tally will not suffer the manipulation of corporations or be refuted by those who are in fact fascist and philosophically debilitating, which in my opinion is the only true way to ensure that the government doesn’t cheat its people. And indeed I encourage all other states to follow suit and tell Britain and the rest of the...

Kazushige Nojima has recently stated if their is enough demand for another sequel to FFX it may just happen. If you the fans want it to happen show your support by signing this petition.

A little over two weeks ago, I was hit by a car while crossing Greenpoint's McGuinness Boulevard en route home. Last night, a friend shared a photograph online of ambulances parked on McGuinness where a pedestrian had been struck and killed by two cars -- just two blocks from where I had been hit. I was very lucky. 32-year-old Nicole Detweiler was not. With nearby schools, increases to Greenpoint's population, and cyclists, McGuinness Boulevard needs speed and security cameras to be installed as soon as possible to hold speeding drivers accountable for their dangerous actions.

This expansion has been in the town's plans since 2002. After years of discussion, it is finally moving to a ballot question. Only problem is that the are doing the expansion without the fitness equipment for two years and maintaining the subsidy for the community center. Approximately 88% of the town does not have a membership at a local health club and the full expansion is what the people of Windsor really want. This is a great community builder and the town staff has already proved to the Town Board that other communities have built a center without hurting local health clubs. This expansion will improve quality of life in Windsor, drive more business to this community and create more opportunities for the community to grow.

I am a lifelong Raider fan and I am embarrassed by the product that Dennis Allen has put on the field. I want to feel proud of this great organization once again. However, I will never feel that way with Dennis Allen at Head Coach.
