• Recycle Symbol on All Plastic Bags and Plastic Containers
    Having a recycling symbol on all recyclable bags and plastics will help reduce the accumulating trash. If an item is not recyclable it should be marked so that people are aware that it will become part of the landfills. This would encourage companies to find recyclable solutions to their packaging.

  • Support Fairness for Co-ops and Dorms: Unite Student Housing
    Students living in Northside are at risk of being kicked out of the student district. Despite currently in District 7, the Berkeley Student District Campaign map draws them out, leaving Northside students out of the new student district. The United Student District Amendment provides the best solution for creating an inclusive student district by uniting Northside and Southside. This includes a majority of dorms, Coops, and Greek housing, bringing the student age population of District 7 to 90.3%.

  • Bullying Alive and Well in Adult Life, too.
    Once it became public that my son was gay; the manager made his life a living hell. Before that time, he was advanced to pricing lead for the store. After becoming public, he was belittled in front of co-workers and the public; and was coerced into signing early release papers after giving a 3 weeks notice of leaving. I respectively request other members to abstain from shopping at this establishment.

  • Stop Legislators From Being Paid When The Government is Closed
    I believe this shutdown (plus any future occurrences) would have been settled much sooner, and probably never would have occurred if the House, Congress & the President were to not receive their paychecks during any Government shutdown.

  • Censure Ted Cruz
    We are starting this petition because Ted Cruz is a dangerous demagogue using half truths and lies to spread propaganda endangering the economic future of all US Citizens and the world economy. His actions equate to those of Senator Joseph McCarthy who "debased the Senate to to the level of a forum for hate and character assassination". He stated that he wants a US Senate filled with 100 Jesse Helms, a demagogue in his own right. He said that the Health.gov web site was designed by Nigerian e-mail scammers. He said the following about stopping Obama Care: "Look, I am in favor of shutting down the government and not raising the debt ceiling, but lets not kid ourselves. Those are only half measures. If we are really serious about stopping Obama Care, we'll destroy the entire planet."

  • Landlord Tenant Reform
    It is not in the best interest of city or state government to support any legislation that allows for abusive property owners to escape penalties in cases where tenants experience fraud, abuse, negligence and are exposed to health hazards that can potentially cause irreversible health defects and or death. In cases where property owners are found to be unethical in their dealings and manipulate the law to inflict pain on unsuspecting low-income tenants, they should be penalized to the fullest extent of the law and relinquish the right to any monies owed as noted in the contract between property owner and tenant unless there is legitimate proof of damages to the property. Provisions should be made for families; especially those with underage children to relocate to a safer environment while addressing the concerns. Thorough investigations should be conducted beyond simple inspections.

  • TOXIC MOLD! I Want to Know if Extrinsic Fraud is Fleecing the U.S. Public
    If the evidence exists that fleecing the U.S. public over TOXIC MOLD is not occurring then the leaders of the California courts need to produce the evidence to prove it. This petition is very important to every U.S. citizen. Mrs. Sharon Noonan Kramer has been a leading advocate for those seriously injured by exposure to molds and other contaminants that are often found in water damaged buildings. In 2006, the late U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy ordered a Federal Government Accountability Office (GAO) audit of the health effects of mold at her urging. In 2007, investigation of who has conflicts of interest when setting standards over the issue, was deleted by Senate HELP from the scope of the GAO audit . Specifically deleted from the audit scope: “What medical and scientific standards are used in determining the admissibility of evidence of both acute and persistent health consequences resulting from exposure to mold? Which individuals and organizations have promulgated these standards and what, if any, conflicts of interest exist regarding these standards?” Mrs. Kramer contends that the deletion of investigating for conflicts of interest from federal audit, in conjunction with falsified court documents in a California SLAPP suit (Strategic Litigation Against Public Participation) against her, have aided and abetted the continued fleecing of the public over TOXIC MOLD. According to Mrs. Kramer, the public is being fleeced by the use of scientific fraud in U.S. public health policies that was penned by the federal contractors, Veritox, Inc. They are expert defense witnesses for the U.S. Department of Justice in mold cases. She says, “Like many families across the U.S., the scientific fraud has been used to deny liability for causing illness in our troops’ families when they live in moldy military housing. Disturbingly, when military families are involved, it is the federal government and their contracted housing managers, who are relying upon the scientific fraud to deny their responsibility.” According to Mrs. Kramer, when people are disabled by TOXIC MOLD, the scientific fraud is used to claim their illnesses “Could not be” caused by TOXIC MOLD. This is for aiding those responsible, to shift their costs of taking care of the disabled off of themselves and onto Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). Mrs. Kramer states that “The taxpayer gets stuck with the tab for the causation and care of the environmentally disabled by the use of scientific fraud in U.S. public health policy and U.S. courts. The term for it is ‘cost shifting”. In 2005, Mrs. Kramer published an Internet writing of how the scientific fraud became policy as she named those involved in mass marketing it. Federal contractors, Veritox, and the company’s president, Bruce Kelman, sued Mrs. Kramer for libel for five words in the writing, “altered his under oath statements”. It would appear that the California courts aided Veritox and Mr. Kelman to frame Mrs. Kramer for libel for those five words to cast doubt on all her words, which exposed the mass marketing of scientific fraud; and while aiding and abetting it to continue. In a second case, Mr. Kelman, his attorney and officers of the California courts, tried to stop Sharon from writing of what occurred in the first case, which aided Veritox’s scientific fraud to continue in policies and courts to the detriment of the public. In 2012, a San Diego judge - whose court had no subject matter jurisdiction because of the falsified court documents in the first case being used as the foundation to the second - ordered that Mrs. Kramer be jailed for refusing to be coerced to sign a false confession of being guilty of libel for a sentence not even in her 2005 writing. Her coerced, perjured, signature would have concealed the massive fleecing of the public over TOXIC MOLD by aid of employees of the California Judicial Branch. Veritox’s harassment of Mrs. Kramer, with the aid of the California courts has been ongoing for over eight years. Numerous court officers and administrative employees of the courts appear to be involved. For the leaders of the California courts to prove Mrs. Kramer wrong about the California Judicial Branch’s role in fleecing the public over TOXIC MOLD; they only need to produce direct evidence that material court documents were not falsified by court employees. They will not do it, apparently because they cannot do it. Yet, they suppress the evidence that they cannot – while knowing that they are aiding the fleecing of the U.S. public over the TOXIC MOLD to continue by their usage, and concealment of their usage, of falsified court documents in SLAPP. It has cost Mrs. Kramer and her husband all they own for her refusal of silence of how extrinsic fraud is fleecing the public over TOXIC MOLD; while many are losing all they own, some are becoming permanently disabled, and the leaders of the California courts obfuscate from answering direct questions put to them. For the sake of future public safety and future protection of the right to speak the truth in America; leaders of the California courts need to be made to prove or disprove that they have not concealed the falsification of material court documents; and if they cannot disprove it, mitigate the damage for aiding to fleece the public over TOXIC MOLD. YOUR HELP IS NEEDED!! Only the insistence of many Loud Voices will force the California court leaders to admit there is no refuting evidence to disprove Mrs. Kramer’s allegations of extrinsic fraud fleecing the public over TOXIC MOLD, aided to continue by officers of the California courts; and if they can prove otherwise, they need to do so. I read the following ODE. It is about the fleecing of the U.S. public over illnesses caused by TOXIC MOLD by the use of scientific fraud, academic fraud, fraud upon the court, and falsification of material court documents to aid Strategic Litigation Against Public Participation ...
