Some Santa Fe city councilors, including mayoral candidates Patti Bushee and Bill Dimas, have sponsored legislation to require the City of Santa Fe to lobby for mandatory minimum sentencing for drug offenses - a legislative platform for the for-profit prison industry advanced by ALEC.

Without the approval of this grant the school based health clinic on the Franklin campus will close, leaving many students without access to medical care and mental health counseling services.

The City of Gainesville Public Works Department is to be commended for coming up with a transportation plan for NW 8th Ave. that enhances the level of service for bicycles, pedestrians and other low-speed vehicles such as wheelchairs and electric scooters. This Thursday Dec. 5 the City Commission will be reviewing the results of a trial study in which the lanes were reduced from four lanes to two on the section closest to NW 34th St. The results of the study were unequivocally positive, with no loss in level of service for cars and improved level of service for bikes. However, if the Commission does not act on this data, Public Works plans to return the lane configuration to four until the project commences. See http://www.gainesvillepublicworks.org/wp-content/uploads/December-5-2013-Commission-Presentation.pdf for the Public Works presentation.

Stop the Postmaster General and the US Postal Service from closing any more small town post offices. We believe the financial crisis in the postal service is manufactured, and Americans are suffering because of it. Americans deserve their mail in hours of daylight.

Pepsico Gatorade has no sick time for employees. Employees are written up even if they go to the doctor. They are forced to use FMLA as sick time but only if they make it a year. I am going blind due to having to choose my eye or my job. I am covered by the American with Disabilities act, which they have ignored. It is a right to take care of our health with impugnity!

My aunt was hit at that section of livingston ave. And a few others as well including one death. It is not visible out there at night and people go way past the 25 mile per hour speed limit.

I'm starting this petition because, several years ago a natural gas project began in Prop A territory near Whittier. As a condition of becoming Prop A land in 1992, the City of Whittier promised to keep the preserve in perpetuity. Allowing a natural gas project violates the laws set forth in 1992, and could set a dangerous precedence for all the 21,000 acres of open in LA County. Allowing the project to continue here in Whittier could mean all Prop A land could suffer a similar fate. Please sign this petition to let your elected representatives know you would like to keep open space as open space and not land for development!

I love Pennsylvania and want to live here for the rest of my life. No one should have to choose between the place they love and protecting their health. We need a moratorium on fracking until public health, livelihoods, and the environment are protected in PA.

We, the people of Hawai'i, have followed the events of the State Legislature's Special Session Marriage Equality this fall with deep interest. This petition addresses acts of discrimination and hate perpetrated during the session, notably including the testimony given by Honolulu Police Officer Tenari Ma'afala on Nov. 5, 2013 and other acts of verbal and physical hostility against supporters of Marriage Equality. Officer Ma'afala is a public figure, as the union president of SHOPO (State of Hawai'i Organization of Police Officers) and a pastor of New Hope Church. Here is his testimony on Youtube.com: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaAkQZ5DnZ0 We, the supporters of Marriage Equality, witnessed Officer Ma'afala's testimony, in which he stated his opposition to LGBTQ rights was so strong that he would become a "lawbreaker" with the passage of SB1 (the Marriage Equality bill, which has since been signed into law and took effect Dec. 2, 2013). We also witnessed incidents by opponents and their children during the hearings that were dangerous and filled with hate, including physical confrontations and verbal assaults. Will those incidents continue and escalate? If so, can the community have confidence that the Honolulu Police Department will adminster justice fairly and compassionately? We, the people, demand that Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell and the Honolulu Police Commission REQUIRE DIVERSITY TRAINING for all police officers. WHY are we demanding Diversity Training? Members of the LGBTQ community and their allies, following the reprehensible behavior of some opposition members and the provocative testimony of Officer Ma'afala, feel strongly that their personal safety is endangered and could be left unprotected by those whose job it is to protect. As president of SHOPO, officer Ma'afala, through his presence at the Special Session and angry words in support of discrimination, may have signaled that other Honolulu police officers should also be "lawbreakers" and turn a blind eye toward crimes committed against LGBTQ community members and supporters of equality. We would like to believe the lofty Mission Statement of the Honolulu Police Department (http://honolulupd.org/department/) quoted below will be respected and upheld. Diversity Training will help to ensure that it is. MISSION STATEMENT We, the men and women of the Honolulu Police Department, are dedicated to providing excellent service through partnerships that build trust, reduce crime, create a safe environment, and enhance the quality of life in our community. We are committed to these principles: INTEGRITY We have integrity. We adhere to the highest moral and ethical standards. We are honest and sincere in dealing with each other and the community. We have the courage to uphold these principles and are proud that they guide us in all we do. RESPECT We show respect. We recognize the value of our unique cultural diversity and treat all people with kindness, tolerance, and dignity. We cherish and protect the rights, liberties, and freedoms of all as granted by the constitutions and laws of the United States and the State of Hawaii. FAIRNESS We act with fairness. Objective, impartial decisions and policies are the foundation of our interactions. We are consistent in our treatment of all persons. Our actions are tempered with reason and equity. ...in the spirit of aloha.

I'm a big fan of the Range Rover brand and the infortainment system is the only thing that keeps it from being the best vehicle on the market.

Because Pandora Radio Needs Corpse Circus

Because my business has been slated for termination by Sprint for a misunderstanding or an alleged misapplication of rules for operating promotional opportunities. This termination is being done without any consideration for allowing us to know the full particulars concerning the closure and without being able to defend ourselves. This will dramatically impact the livelihood of the employees of 4 Real Wireless and effectively close two thriving and successful retail stores in a part of Omaha that has seen far too many businesses come and go. This needs to be stopped.
