Staples.com advertised the Copic marker sets they sell at unusual low prices. People such as myself took advantage and ordered them accordingly. we were given an order number for our purchases. Staples, unlike companies Zappos and United Airlines, chose to not inform the customers of their mistake and cancelled orders without notification. No formal action from Staples executives has happened, but instead chose to not honor their prices they posted. they also claim to be fixing the issue, but the prices have stood on the site after making the claims of typographical error. Staples should follow in the footsteps of Zappos and United Airlines and take responsibility for their actions. They should honor the price and fulfill orders made. People are sick and tired of being misled with bait and switch tactics and Staples should honor their customers.

In 2008, I served on a jury that convicted a man of second degree murder. Two weeks ago, I received a long letter from the convicted felon. He obtained my name and subsequently, "through a personal investigator friend", my home address. What was meant to be an important commitment to civic duty, has turned into a deeply stressful situation and fear for my family's safety. This convicted murderer should have never been able to obtain my name.

Article 1 Section 1 of North Carolina's Constitution - specifically guarantees us the Right of “acquiring, possessing, and protecting, property“ and “Equality of rights under the law“? A county should not be able to (legally) discriminate against one group of its citizens by taxing them for the same behavior as another group of its citizens not subject to the tax!

Hi, I'm trying to prevent a global financial catastrophe.

COUNTY BOARD NEEDS TO HEAR FROM YOU A lot of changes have been quietly happening in St. Croix County, and then, after the fact, the people find out what's happened and it's too late to turn back the clock. The fact that the administration committee decided to list the Agricultural Services and Education Center for sale is one of those changes. After years of past county supervisors and others planning the perfect office building for FSA/NRCS and the extension offices in the center of the county in Baldwin, a committee of 5 people who live along the St. Croix River, just 15 years later decided that it would be something that could be sold in order to have money to pay for the County Market building that was purchased to house the Health & Human Services and ADRC offices. The citizens of St. Croix County were not made aware of this because on the county agendas it was just listed "Capital Projects." That doesn't give any indication that they were planning to put the building up for sale. In the past, referendums for other issues didn't count for anything. The county board didn't listen to the people. Now the people haven't even been considered. Even though a study had been made about the Ag Center just three years ago, stating that it was in the perfect spot to serve the users of the services, this was not even considered by the committee. They were just looking at dollars instead of service. Because an appraisal showed that the property is worth more than a million dollars, it was decided that's where the board could get some money to pay for their other recent purchase of the County Market building in New Richmond, not figuring how much it would cost to move them elsewhere and how inconvenient it would be for the people that use the Ag Center. The thought that they can work from their cars with laptops just does not make sense. The extension staff needs files and space and a place to meet and hold workshops, lectures, etc. The board originally started the fiasco by not renewing the lease with the federal offices that rent from the county in the Ag Center. Being they failed to complete the paperwork on time, the federals started looking elsewhere to rent. The county was getting $13 a sq. ft., but wanted to double that to $25. Even if they wanted to raise the rent a small amount, say even to $18 a sq. ft, it would be enough to cover the cost of the maintenance which is $55,000 a year. But they wouldn't negotiate, so that left the federals with nothing else to do but look elsewhere. So now if the federals move out of the Ag Center, there is no income from that building, just expense for upkeep. And moving the extension offices to the County Courthouse in Hudson, which is crowded enough, would be more of a problem and they would have to spend money adding on to make room for everything. The county still has a about a week in which they could initiate renegotiations with the federals, but they have to act on it now. So bottom line is: If it's not broken, don't fix it! The Ag Center is in the perfect location for the people it serves. The 19 board members are the ones who will make the final vote to sell or not to sell. The majority of the people who use the Ag Center are not in Hudson, they're on the eastern two-thirds of the county. There have been too many decisions made affecting people's lives without consulting those people that are affected.

We came to Fandom Rehab looking for freedom to say what we want (without being hurtful) THEY TOOK THAT AWAY FROM US! Oath: We the people of FR, promise that if the admins of FR take away pre-approved posts, we will be joyful, and avoid drama and dilemma, and will not complain when you are forced to kick people out when thy do not avoid dram or dilemma.

The people making the laws should have a direct interest in the results of their decision. How can people who place themselves above the people and the laws they were placed in office to represent and enforce truly have the best interest of their constituents in their heart when performing their duties. This hopefully awaken the social conscious of those serving in Washington and the Sates of each person who sighs this petition. The current economic crises we all seem to be revisiting on regular basis would likely quickly resolve themselves.

What the GOP lead House of Representatives is doing by failing to pass a budge for the government operations, and refusing to even allow the legislation to come to vote, despite the awareness that a majority of the Representatives are in agreement with passing the budget, is holding the government and it's operations hostage which could lead to extreme harm not only to the government but to a majority of the populace of the U.S. is illegal and treasonable, actions which can irreparably harm our country and its people, thereby giving aid and comfort to our enemies. This despicable behavior must be stopped. Sign this petition and send a strong message to the politicians that we cannot stand this abuse much longer.

This one action would defeat Citizen's United and all other anti- democratic forces. Too often good bills are neutered by lobbying which occurs in secret. We are all disenfranchised by an unjust process. Democracy demands open and recorded, searchable records of all the contacts between elected representatives and special interests. Secrecy is poisonous and sunlight is the cure!

We all have a stake in this; if our country's credit rating is downgraded yet again due to foolish tea party game playing, our entire economy could potentially crash again despite how far we've come since 2008. Speaker Boehner has the votes he needs to end the shutdown, but refuses to behave like a responsible adult and elected official. If his goal is obstruction to the point that government cannot function at all, we shouldn't be paying him for a job that he isn't doing.

It's about time that we move to term limits because our elected officials feel tenured and really don't care any more what the people who voted for them want. We don't want shutdowns; we want progress, no longer holding us hostage to their careers. The 2 year House term was originally designed to cause the administration to act and if they did not, to be replaced. Politicians currently remain in office too long. Since the year 2011, Gallop polls have reflected only a 10% approval rating for our Congress. That’s only 1 in 10 elected officials successfully doing what they were elected to do!
