Our pets are part of our families! Sign this petition so that communities can be forced to lift their pet restrictions and allow residents to freely relocate to any location, notwithstanding having a pet! Weather you have a dog, a cat, or even a hamster, residential communities should not be able to say ”no pets,” and prevent you from enjoying your dream home by imposing such restriction!

The virus is asymptomatic and healthcare workers and other types of Essential Workers are being exposed. Some healthcare workers are now responsible for solely providing for their families on one income. Healthcare Essential workers are risking their lives everyday and were not tested before Governor Hogan’s mandate to be tested for Covid-19. Some nursing homes are willing to increase pay while others are not. The virus is deadly. Part time employees do not have benefits such as sick pay or medical insurance. Some healthcare facilities are still not practicing social distancing at these healthcare facilities when caring for patients. Healthcare facility essential workers are not provided with the proper PPE, such as N-95 masks. Until the facilities actually test the residents and staff, we are to work as normal when we could actually all have the virus. We should receive an extra $600 per week just like non-essential workers. Essential Workers are not just healthcare workers, but are restaurant workers, grocery store workers, Uber, Lyft, Instacart drivers to name a few. We are the Heroes sacrificing our lives for America and especially for our families and yours.

Small businesses won’t survive

As Health and Fitness Professionals and small business owners, we have drafted a document that outlines operational, class, and cleaning procedures for boutique fitness facilities that comply with social distancing guidelines as outlined by the CDC on their website. We believe our businesses are capable of staying well within the guidelines, and even exceeding them in most circumstances. As a fitness facility we contribute to the overall health and well being of many of our region's citizens. Having an outlet for physical activity allows our members to lead healthier lives, relieve stress, and contributes to their overall health and well being. Following the strict guidelines that are outlined in this document will allow us to operate our business safely, while providing our service to our clients in a manner that is far safer than some businesses currently operating as “essential.” Our operation is unique, and should be considered separately from large gyms. They have thousands of members, whereas we have hundreds. The overall health of our clients is our number one priority, and we will continue to adjust and improve on our best practices to ensure that. We believe our business to be “essential” and a contributor to the overall health and well being of our state’s citizens. Operating our business in a safe manner, while adhering to the guidelines set forth by the CDC, and our local health officials is possible. We are thankful for your time and consideration while reading the operational document (https://www.ftwrightcrossfit.com/fwcf-reopening-plan), and are available at any point to answer questions, or help in any way possible.

This is important to mitigate the spread of the virus and avoid another spike in deaths and new cases. The beauty industry is very contact-based and hands-on. You can sanitize and disinfect tools all you want, but if the source of the virus is sitting in the chair for long stretches that virus is saturating the environment and reaching much more than the tools themselves. It puts the staff and other clients sharing the space at risk.

Governor Eric Holcomb deployed State Troops on Protesters May 1st 2020. The Indiana State Troopers threatened to arrest Protesters and Harassed Protesters! Governor Eric Holcomb destroyed small business, lied and terrorized Hoosiers with his Unconstitutional Executive Order.

Hopefully, the multitude of reasons why this is such a critically important action to take should be self-evident, Common Sense, well-understood by most. However, for more information go to CompassionateAmerica.org. Thank you.

The Coronavirus crisis challenged Congress to pass four Cares bills to stimulate the economy, including small and large businesses, direct checks to individuals, and including some funds for hospitals and testing. These funds are important; some of the money went to large business and President Trump has indicated that significant funding in Cares5 must include significant funding for oil and gas producers and suppliers (billions of dollars). This would negatively damage the world's environment. We can meet the needs of local and state governments as well as providing funds to individuals. We, in particular citizens, will survive the coronavirus crisis. But will we survive the continued damage to our earth? Cares4 must include significant funding for: - renovating buildings to reduce energy use, - construction and repair of roads and bridges using environmental standards -- standards to be included in the bill, - providing buyers of new vehicles using alternative energy $5,000 rebates. These areas provide well-paying jobs, advance actions that point to our future. We can and will survive coronavirus -- we need to help our earth to survive.

1 in 6 Pennsylvanians are unemployed and many small businesses are gone forever. We will continue to bleed the young and educated from this state if we continue to allow this self imposed economic collapse. We will lose far more lives from suicide, drugs and violence from the economic collapse than this virus has taken.

Those behind the “reopen” protests want these rallies to seem like part of a grassroots movement led by everyday Americans. But the truth is: these efforts are backed by powerful special interests -- and are part of a campaign funded by some of America’s leading corporations. Behind the scenes, ALEC is helping to pull the strings -- teaming up with a coalition of ultra-conservative groups that funds rallies, backs lobbying efforts, and covers any legal fees for demonstrators. These protests are dangerous. Not only do they aim to make states roll back life-saving measures before experts say it’s safe -- but they also give the disease more opportunity to spread... incite distrust of public health officials... and in one case, protestors even reportedly blocked ambulances from accessing a hospital. But the demonstrations are just one prong in this sinister strategy. ALEC is also working behind the scenes, lobbying members of Congress for things like corporate liability shields -- to protect companies whose employees get sick after being sent back to work. Despite ALEC’s role in these “reopen” efforts, companies like UPS, Pfizer, and Anheuser-Busch continue to fund the organization. And make no mistake: their refusal to withdraw their support is an active endorsement of ALEC’s life-threatening work. These companies are hoping that we don’t notice -- they don’t want to be publicly associated with ALEC’s overwhelmingly unpopular and extreme agenda. But now that ALEC has been exposed as a funder of the dangerous “reopen” push, we can turn up the pressure to cut ties with the group -- just like we convinced AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon to do over the past year. Major companies need to hear that everyday Americans are outraged by ALEC’s dangerous plot -- taking advantage of a public health crisis to push their radical Big Money agenda. Add your name to demand that UPS, Pfizer, Anheuser-Busch, and others cancel their ALEC membership.

Many small businesses are suffering and need income especially bars and restraunts. No relief has been coming in for small businesses and their employees. Many will go bankrupt if something isn’t done.

Transitioning to online courses rather than continuing to facilitate them in person diminishes the quality of education students receive. Students will not have the same face-to-face interactions with our professors and peers in the intimate class settings. Moreover, many majors are not designed for virtual or online learning, and forcing them to switch to remote, virtual, or online forms of learning will be ineffective in allowing students to fully immerse themselves in what they’re learning, take advantage of resources, or have access to proper equipment. While we understand the difficult position that the pandemic has put on Rasmussen Colleges and Universities, this suspension of face-to-face instruction and suspension of access to labs, simulations and other on-campus resources presents a notable reduction in the quality of our education that we as students expected to receive at this institution. Because of this huge financial, personal, and professional loss, the students demand that our technology fee, clinical fee, and class fees be reduced and that our tuition be pro-rated or reduced, specifically funds that contribute to maintaining on-campus resources. As students, we are suffering. Thank you for your time, The Students of Rasmussen College
