To mobilize Jews and Muslim American to help the Syrian people in their current strangle against their dictator . and to show solidarity that wouldn't see. Else where. This alliance can open the eyes Of the Israelis and the Palestinians rulers and make them think about sustainable solution for their children, and to show the world that perseverance always almost achieves result.

According to the American Lung Association, "Each year 24,000 premature deaths, 550,000 asthma attacks, 38,000 heart attacks, and 12,000 hospital admissions attributed to Coal Plant pollution". Less burning of coal means less mercury, toxic chemicals, and waste products that pollute our lakes and cause health concerns that have the most impact on children and expectant mothers. Sherco 1 & 2 are also Minnesota's biggest carbon polluters, pumping more than eight million tons of carbon dioxide into the air every year. Replacing them with clean energy would be a huge step forward for Minnesota. We have a historic opportunity to act because the Public Utilities Commission is taking public comments for a limited time and will decide the fate of this facility soon.

Youth and children can be exposed for hours daily to sexually explicit, violent, and occult lyrics and no warning or prohibition is provided. All communities are affected, but particularly African American communities, where 70% of births are out-of-wedlock, male dropout rates are about 50%, and homicides are 50% of all homicides in the nation. This is a national epidemic that will impact everyone, and this is one-step to address this issue.

The Governor has stated that he MIGHT call a Special Session of the Hawaii State Legislature to pass marriage equality into law. Let Governor Abercrombie and the Legislature know that justice delayed is never justice. We need a Special Session called, and we need it called NOW! We've been waiting 20 years since Justice Steven Levinson decided in Baehr v. Lewin that it was unconstitutional for same-sex couples to be denied marriage in Hawai'i. The resulting court case showed then--and it remains true today--that the State of Hawaii has NO compelling interest to deny ANY couple equal marriage. In the 1998 debacle, a minority of Hawai'i's voters decided in a "referendum" of sorts to take away the rights of GLBT couples and assigned marriage to the sole and dedicated purview of the Legislature. Senators and Representatives alone were empowered to decide who can marry whom and when. The public has HAD it's say. It is way overdue for the Governor Abercrombie and the Hawaii Senate and House to call immediately for a Special Session of the Legislature to pass marriage equality for all of Hawai'i's citizens into law. Please help us ask our lawmakers and the Governor to make marriage equlity a reality in Hawai'i TODAY!

The United States Government is spending our tax dollars to support Rush Limbaugh. Rush Limbaugh’s Show continues while he collects welfare. Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move program is heard on the Rush Limbaugh Show. United States Departments airing Public Service Announcements (PSAs) include Department of Energy, United States Forest Service (as in Smokey Bear), Housing and Urban Development. The Ad Council distributes many of these PSAs claiming, “The airing of Ad Council PSAs on media programs does not imply support of that program or its spokesperson’s ideologies.” As taxpayers, We The People do not want our name used to fill Rush Limbaugh's dead air.

Gov. Brown is trying to pull a bait and switch. He's proposed raiding the budget surplus created by Prop 30, so he can throw $715 MILLION down the black hole of California's prison system. Gov. Brown claims that his hands are tied. He claims a court order mandating him to reduce prison size by 10,000 has forced him to spend billions more in taxpayer dollars over the next 5 years. Don't believe the spin. The Los Angeles Times and Sacramento Bee editorial boards don't; they've ripped apart the Governor's approach. According to the Brown Administration's own proposals to the court earlier this summer, California can reduce its prisoner population by 10,000 through smart, proven, and most importantly SAFE strategies that emphasize rehabilitation, increased prisoner firefighting brigades, "good time" credits in which prisoners earn early release, and the release of elderly, sick, debilitated prisoners that pose no threat to society. Here's the truth: Gov. Brown is afraid. He and our Democratic legislators are terrified of being labeled "soft on crime." We need to convince him there's another way. If you care about schools, universities, infrastructure, and vital services, sign the petition.

My name is Tyler Cook, and I write to Senator Jim Davis and our NC state legislature under the gravest of circumstances. As a Maconian, I have agreed and disagreed with different beliefs that you have taken with you to Raleigh. And as a resident of North Carolina, I would have to say the same for our state legislature. Our recent voting laws, our school budget cuts and our state school calendar are just a few things that I disagree with. But the recent news coming out of Raleigh has caused me great alarm, and I must plea with you on behalf of Macon County citizens. Hydro Fracking is a controversial issue that has brought very heated discussions in our country over the years. Fortunately for us though is that while some states were discussing and even using this method of extracting natural resources from the earth, North Carolina remained silent. But as years have passed, and the use of this method has become more frequent, our state leaders have shown support for this, and even proposed bringing it into our state. In case you aren’t fully aware of Hydro Fracking and the process it takes to extract the natural resources, it is a very complicated and dangerous concept. According to the Remediation Technologies Screening Matrix and Reference Guide, it begins with the injection of water into the ground until the pressure creates a fracture. Some wells can be drilled as far as 10,000 feet below the surface. Coarse-grained sand and guar gum gel is then inserted and the fracture grows. The sand grains hold the fracture in place while an enzyme is injected and breaks down fluids. The thinned fluid is broken down, and pumped from the fracture to form a channel to recover any vapor or liquid below. This process can be done several different ways with different methods and materials for extraction. But an extraction of this nature does not come without its consequences. In addition to the fracturing of the ground and the releasing of gas, carcinogens, toxic sludge and other highly toxic substances also are released. Some common ingredients include hydrochloric acid, ammonium, potassium, sodium salt, and many others. And because of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, Hydro Fracking was left unregulated by the federal Safe Drinking Water Act. The result of this includes the contamination of your water supply and endangers the lives of humans and pets in the surrounding area. Thanks to WLOS 13, I was alerted of an article, provided by News Observer, announcing the proposal to have residents extract their natural resources under their home and farms and sell them, whether they want to or not. Once I read this I felt anger, sadness and finally disappointment towards our state legislature because a fear that has been tucked in the back of my mind had been realized. Because this recommendation has been approved, it will go to the state legislature in hopes that it will also be approved there. Why is this such an important issue for me, you ask? I have had the privilege of taking environmental classes at Southwestern Community College and Western Carolina University, and I have learned and seen the true horrors that can result from environmental hazards, Hydro Fracking being one of the most threatening and impacting hazards in our country. These classes have opened my eyes to things I would have never thought of in the past, and has lit a fire in me to defend the home that surrounds me. I know I am only one person in Macon County, who is far beyond the ears of Raleigh, but I plead with you to show your opposition to this. Yes, this isn’t an immediate threat to Maconians because this will only be affecting Lee, Moore and Chatham counties right now. But once North Carolina approves of fracking to begin there, it won’t stop. They will continue to spread this process throughout the state until it finally reaches our doorstep. And by then, it will be too late to show remorse or regret for what we have allowed into our home. I encourage you to research on this and to seek counsel. There are many citizens and teachers in the area that are as alert of this as I am. I’m sure they will be happy to express their opinion, as well as the facts on this matter. Be 100% sure of the facts before you approve or disapprove of this policy. As you can tell, I am very passionate about this, and I knew that I had to plead my case to you. Otherwise, I knew I would regret knowing I had the chance to tip the scales and not take it. This is not a debate involving politics. This is a debate of morals and ethics and a challenge to see if we have what it takes to do what is right. Every individual in Macon County may not have a vote on this, but they do have the vote on other things, and I trust that Macon County will put this debate and your decision into consideration when they vote. I urge you to join me and pledge your support not to just Macon County or North Carolina, but for the interest of this great nation.

We are holding our public servants accountable. This "Right to Know and Protect" bill is common sense and is exactly why the Constitution and Bill of Rights were created. They are elected public officials. If they fail to uphold and serve the people per the Constitution, we will take action ourselves if no one is representing us. We will gladly use the Charter for Recall if needed. Constitution of Hawaii/Article 1/Bill of Rights- POLITICAL POWER: All political power of this State is inherent in the people and the responsibility for the exercise thereof rests with the people. All government is founded on this authority RIGHTS OF CITIZENS- Section 8. No citizen shall be disfranchised, or deprived of any of the rights or privileges secured to other citizens, unless by the law of the land. Constitution/Section 1 Article X1- For the benefit of present and future generations, the State and its political subdivisions shall conserve and protect Hawaii's natural beauty and all natural resources, including land, water, air, minerals and energy sources, and shall promote the development and utilization of these resources in a manner consistent with their conservation and in furtherance of the self-sufficiency of the State.

I have watched cars swerve all over the road only to pull up next to them and see they are on their phones! Our death toll is rising and accidents are skyrocketing! It's time we crack down hard on this and make people aware of how bad it is to drive while texting or calling someone! I urge all of you to sign this petition and save our children and families!

The New Deal worked and has now been trashed. The Old Deal is back and is no deal at all. It disproportionately rewards people at the upper income levels.

1. We do not support amending any city ordinances to allow car dealerships to be built in the City of Lakeway. 2. We do not support any zoning amendments to allow commercial property to convert classification that will allow car dealerships to be built in the City of Lakeway.

There are still unanswered questions about chemical weapons in Syria. It is assumed the upper echelon of the Assad government supported these gas attacks. If we don't know, we risk more than we gain in the region and the world's stage. Our abhorrence of the gas attack emotionally clouds a further search for truth before more death and misery is warranted.
