Banning commercials is a step to removing money as a factor to political power. US campaigns should be funded solely by the public and restricted to a series of debates which are fact checked before being presented to the public. The status of a fact should be immediately apparent as the debate is watched.

School district policies have protections in place for bullying for students, however, there are no mandates to protect public school employees from administrative and workplace bullying. Need to create language in school Ed Code and mandates to insure civil protections for all.

I am bringing this petition to the school board because there is a lice problem at Gibraltar that won't end. My daughter has come home with lice four times in the last two school years. We need a new policy to keep lice from spreading, including lice checks. There are several parents that won't send their kids on the bus anymore because of the lice problem. Parents would like Gibraltar to put a policy in place that will help put an end to this problem.

To make the world safe for our children.

As a 28 year old with mental and physical ailments, that make working full time just to get insurance almost impossible, the Affordable Care Act is my only hope to get the medical care I need. I was able to get life saving medical care back when I was still on my mom's insurance as a result of the Affordable Care Act changes. Now I will be getting my life saved again after January 1st when my new ACA insurance becomes active. This makes me very happy as my ailments are life threatening. The Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, has been under attack by mainstream media for more than three weeks now. What the media isn't telling you are the millions of success stories like mine.

Our water is so important for consumption.. for the wild life and eco system. If our waters get polluted this will sign the end of everything. We must protect it.

This petition has been created in an effort to repeal the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 (BW-12). The rate increases this act will create will cause thousands of foreclosures and completely destroy the real estate market. The negative impact this act will have on communities stretches far beyond what many in our government understand. We have already seen the home values in flood zones plummet to all time lows, and this will only get worse. We are asking that the act be repealed, or that rate increases be deferred until FEMA completes the affordability study mandated by law.

MontCo sells Parkhouse and Open Space to a Developer Please join the opposition and protest a deal that has been characterized by unanswered questions, shady associations, scandal, lies, a willful disregard of the residents, insider information, and the belligerent arrogance of our County officials in the sale of Parkhouse (aka Montgomery County Geriatric Center or “Johnson Home”) and the surrounding 220 acres of open space in Upper Providence Township by Montgomery County. Montgomery County Commissioners closed the sale of Parkhouse and the 220 acres of land surrounding the facility that was previously slated to be permanently preserved in the county's own open space plan. The entire property was sold for $41 million in an unscheduled, unannounced, behind closed-doors recess in their Thursday morning meeting March 6, 2014. The new owner is a REIT that was formed in Delaware on January 14, 2014. We have no way of knowing who the actual principals of this REIT are and whether Dr. Menkowitz is still a part of it. The 70 acre Upper Schuylkill Valley Park was not ever part of the original deal but was sold along with the rest of the property then condemned and bought back for $2 million. How generous of them to protect a park that was already county-owned. The 5-year deed restriction only gives the public access to the property for the next 5 years or till the new owner develops it, whichever comes first. It gives the land no further protection from development than Upper Providence’s zoning ordinances already in place and will prove to be a costly battle to protect them The Request For Proposal had shown the Montgomery County Commissioners had been lying to the public about their intent to develop the land surrounding Parkhouse. The RFP states that the buyer, Mid-Atlantic Health Care, will be working with Einstein Health System, Ganas Development (led by Dr. Elliot Menkowitz a county-employed doctor at Parkhouse) and Sukonik Building Companies to develop a comprehensive development strategy. A subpoena had been issued and Dr. Menkowitz has been fired for ethics violations in his involvement with insider trading on the deal and suggesting he had special influence over the sale process Mid-Atlantic CEO Scott Rifkin's claim that they had changed their mind in regards to the development of the land is meaningless as they do not own it, GA HC REIT II Royersford SNF, LLC does and THEY will be the ones to develop it. This sale was brought about to fill a hole in Montgomery County’s budget caused by the failed Logan Square movie studio project. Montgomery County Commissioners are patting themselves on the back for creating the 2014 budget in surplus while blind-siding us on the sale of our precious open space and much needed home to the less-fortunate elderly. Montgomery County commissioners have now set a precedent to sell off any open space or park that has not been permanently preserved as open space. It is the responsibility of those in office to operate with transparency, obedience to those who they serve, and with the goal of doing good by all. The three Montgomery County Commissioners have violated all three of these very important principles, and will continue to do so if we stay silent on the Parkhouse issue. Rallys are being held to raise awareness to this issue. Check the Save Parkhouse Facebook group for the next rally: https://www.facebook.com/groups/242665885899065/ Full story and timeline here: saveparkhouse.blogspot.com PA State Representative Warren Kampf has joined the fight to save the open spaces at Parkhouse.

Fluoride is a toxic sedative that can cause severe damage to thyroid health, bone health, brain function, and even can even cause cancer-- in regards to dental health, there is no real evidence that fluoride is even slightly beneficial. The FDA classifies fluoride as a drug, which essentially makes water fluoridation the world's largest scale mass forced medication; this means millions of Americans in every state, including 100% of Washington DC's citizens, are slowly sedated and poisoned every day by simply consuming a basic human necessity.

This petition is being started because I have been trying to get a decent job at least 20 years or more. I have a MS from the State University of Buffalo at New York. My female friends all have degrees. I have several African American female friends who have tried to secure jobs/at companies and colleges of course the companies and the colleges gave excuses. Your to short , your to tall not smart enough. My daughter Tolley R. PhD graduated from TSU recently and she can't secure a job they say she is over qualified or you need more training. Now please come on another way of derailing us Black women That's crape. All us Black women know that it is just another way to keep us poor and out of the people's system. They want to say we weren't looking and that's a lie. I have spoken to many of the women and it's the same with all of us.Something has be done about this issue. . We want to be separate from civil rights and locked down with the minority stuff. Put us Black women aside from all of that and you'll see they never hire none of us. I'm disgusted with this type of system greedy and not allowing others to made a decent living. doing things. They would rather hire a handicap person to do the job than a Black educated female. This rotten system has got to change. One group of people can't have everything.

The Affordable Healthcare Act has likely already saved the US hundreds of thousands of dollars and ensured better quality of life for many youth up to the age of 26. Yet this and other initiatives to prioritize the health of our citizens is being undercut for the financial gain of those who have at their disposal every healthcare advantage available. Prioritizing policy this way brings with it the disdain of our global neighbors who incredulously watch as thousands of US citizens struggle for access to basic care. This is shameful. The capitalistic roadblocks threatening to block access to healthcare for all US citizens must be removed.

Newspapers need to stop publishing letters that deny climate change. Climate change is a reality; not fiction. There are many scientists declaring climate change is happening at a rapid pace. There would be more scientists, but for fear of losing their jobs, those scientists are being silenced or told to debunk climate change.
